Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan! I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Get a three ring binder and record all your maintenance, repairs, accessories, etc. This will be a great reminder of what was done when. And great material to pass along to the new owner should you sell and upgrade. Also know how large your fuel tank is, and record your fuel usage. I have an app called Simply Auto that I record all my fuel used. I use the odometer and use the fuel gage as reference only. I reset the odometer to zero on fill ups, and I know I can safely get 200 miles on a tank on around town riding. Good Luck!!
thanks for the welcome! and the guided tour
Does the pub serve...real beer..... (sorry!)
Manual reading is something I will be doing a lot. I do all my own spannering....or will do...when I get some new spanners. These bolts are all funny sizes! What's three eighths in metric....
meantime, I will sit back, do some reading, and hopefully bring something to the party once I learnt something!
Here's my new baby though.....
Welcome. You might want to put that disk lock on the front with a tether lanyard to your handle bars so you do not forget to take it off. Some have damaged their bikes by forgeting to remove the disk lock when riding off.
Manuals etc. will be collected ...and nice idea about keeping a record of anything I do to the bike.
And don;t worry about the disc lock I learnt that lesson very early on in my biking career when I forgot to remove a chain, went to ride off, and ripped the valve out of the tyre when the chain snagged it. Never done it since. It's a deterrant to thieves when parked at work. I want the thing visible.
But that vid is so informative...I mean...I nearly forgot to buy the chaps
