    Hello: It was suggested in an earlier post that I have the codes on my 02 classic read to determine why it just quit. Can anyone tell me what scanner or software I can purchase that will allow me to read and clear all of the codes on my car? I checked the old posts but see mostly info on gen II and up. Right now I can't take it to the dealer since I have the battery pack out of it waiting for a used one to come. And I prefer to work on it myself if at all possible anyway.I have it at my friends garage and he has a snap on scan tool but it only goes to 2000 and will not read the codes in generic mode. Any help would be much appreciated. Wayne
