I bought my bike this past summer, and I knew nothing at all about bike repair, but am pretty handy with cars. But I am finding the repairs are easier than cars, parts are readily avaiable and for the most part cheap, and there are plenty of good repair sources (with pics) for the do it yourselfer...and even noobs like me..Trust me If I can do it, anyone can. Just ask questions here if you're not sure and these guys will always steer you in the right direction and offer lots of good advice. Oh and by the way, I absolutley love this bike, the feel ,the ride and style and the power and the way it handles aint nothing to be ashamed of, very respnsive bike, you can find some good deals on ebay in your area or check out Craig's List...you can get them fairly cheap...test drive it and ask lots of questions..But make sure the charging system is working..take a voltmeter with you..put it across battery terminals and rev the bike up to around 3,000 rpm ..you should get a reading of around 14 volts or more...quick check is is the headlight getting brighter when it revs up?
