Yes. I meant the hand lever. Wasn't sure how easy of a replacement that was. I'll take it to a local motorcycle shop near my work this week. I used some steel putty epoxy and it seemed to have done the trick to fixing it, though it looks horrendous. I'd rather have a real fix to it so will do that.

In regards of crimping the new terminal in place, think a place like Advance Auto if I brought it there would go through the process with me? Wouldn't mind finding a more permanent solution than what I have so something like that would be great. Are you saying the current positive cable would actually still be used, I'd just be buying a new metal part and attaching it to it?

If I have any further issue with the turn signal I'll give that one a try.

I bought the bike from I believe Scooter Dynasty last year online. I want to say it was around $1400 though would need to check my CC statement to be sure. They seem to be selling it for closer to $2,000 now though so will need to check it a bit. I've had a number of small issues (such as the dip stick being broken off) upon receiving it, but over all very few real issues.

Here is a crimp on terminal.

Usually buy them in packages of 4-5 or so.

Wire slides on the one side and then you typically use a wire crimper (looks like pliers) on crimp it on. Better yet is to use a solder on one.

The crimper tool can be had for cheap usually too.
