I bought a used Shadow last year, my first motorcycle. A combination of being away and lazy has led to it sitting for a long time and now it won't start. I know I need a new battery. What else should I do?

My engine overheated and had to have it rebuilt. When I picked it up from the mechanic, it made a clicking noise on acceleration. My friend said it was a lifter, so i brought it in the next day.
The mechanic said one of the lifters just needs to be primed and they would give me a complementary oil change. They said the noise would go away in a few days.
1) Aren't you supposed to change the oil when you rebuild an engine?
2) How long does it take to "prime" a lifter?
3) Will it hurt my engine.
I paid 3000. dollars and feel like I am being given a load of B.S. because they don't want to properly fix the problem.
Any ideas?

I know it is ok to turn right in red light at intersections unless there is a sign called "No Turn on Red". However, I try to wait until it turns green because I never feel safe turning right in red. However, I was honked few times beause of that.
1. Do you guys always make right turn in red if no sign is there?
2. Do you resent drivers who wait till green light to make right turns when there is no sign?

The first questions is, does anyone know what size my stock catalytic converter is? It's a Laredo model. I need to get it replaced, not sure which one to buy. The other question, my engine started making a ticking noise recently. Any idea what that could be?

I'm aware there is some grace period on new vehicles in which I can drive the vehicle before reporting that I have purchased it and will be driving it under my policy, in which the liability coverage is in effect. Right? If so, how long...

Hi. I just locked my wife's 1998 RAV4 with the keyfob remote, only to return moments later and the remote no longer functions. We've been having trouble with both of the remotes and right now, *NEITHER* of them will open the car.

We've gone through several batteries and I am coming to the realization that these remotes are a problem. Anyway, If we unlock the doors, the alarm goes off. I can't call Toyota because it's Sunday. Other than disconnecting the battery, anyone have any ideas for disabling the alarm with only the ignition key?

Thanks in advance.

My '74 Dart has a vibration that starts in around 65mph. Its kinda like a pulsating vibration. I think its a U-joint but what does everyone else think it is?
