What do I need to know...?
Hi all,
I'm one of the people on this forum who read with fascination and not a little confusion the various threads about drilling out / tweaking / 'quickly' replacing various parts of my bike. The problem is that I'm not entirely sure where most of these parts are, have no idea how to do these things and am entirely fearful that in trying to do so, I'll permanently damage my bike.
I've tried to find some motorbike maintenance courses and asked at local motorbike garages re. helping out, but have had no joy, so it's become apparent to me that the only route available is to get an old bike and work on that.
So...getting to the question...on the basis that on the road I'll be quite content if I can get my bike to a garage (if serious work is required), what do I need to know how to do?
And secondly, can anyone recommend a suitable model of bike that's simple enough to teach me this stuff but not...too simple.
Thanks,
Alex.
