Hello. I am a veteran small cruiser rider who recently purchased a 2002 Nomad 1500. I enjoy it tremendously but coming from 650cc and 750cc bikes to this beast has been challenging. I appreciate the site and all of the great tips. I look forward to learning all I can about these wonderful machines and getting miles under my belt.

Great Forum
Well I am glad I found this forum...I have the dreaded clock/trip reset issue. The person I bought the bike from was scared of it and only put 300 miles on it in nearly 3 years. I am not sure how long the battery will last but from reading the previous threads I have ordered the Schumaker Battery Tender to see if I can get thru winter without buying a new battery.
Also has anyone noticed their exhaust bolts backing out where it connects to the pipe? Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Buy a new battery, before you are left out in the cold, wet world.
300 miles? Better check everything. Welcome to the forum, don't be afraid ride the hell out of it!
