Oh and Quick, im only 20 so bars are usually out of the question. Plus i'd rather spend money on the bike than overpriced alcohol anyway. And im not getting much poon anyway, so maybe the bike will help?  |
Ah, I am 24 and it seems like just yesterday I was 21 and learned the joys of drinking life's problems away at a bar. None the less, it was socially cool and I blew a shit ton of money that could have had me on a bike much earlier.
Bikes help with poon and attention. Half of riding a bike in public is being able to ignore those callings. I took my rear pegs off and kept my cowl on just so I could turn down people for rides all the time. Didn't feel like being responsible for their life and I wasn't into the chicks that woulda put out for a bike.
Sorta regret passing those moments up, but at least I am disease free.
Cleaning the chain isn't that big of a deal and if you follow recommended maintenance I would assume it is a rather frequent process. I think my Gix is supposed to have it done every 600 miles or something like that.
None the less, wouldn't hurt to get some kerosene and some good lube just to have handy. Trust me when I say kerosene is a much better solution then cleaning spray. The spray works but there just isn't enough of it in a 6-8 dollar can.
Coolant level is fine, but if it wouldn't kill your wallet it to flush it out I would go for it. I am sorta randomly anal about my bike maintenance and when I picked mine up I swapped out all the fluids to make sure I knew exactly what had been done. Only mistake was not doing the brakes and they are on my immediate service list since they have been acting odd.
Seafoam loves all. I have used it on my injected bike and Mustang but have gotten great results out of putting it in the tank of several boats and older trucks. They really love it when you put a bit into the carb, although that might be a big hassle on a bike. Either way, put a can into your tank when you fill the tank up. Make sure your tank is full of gas and you don't over do the ratio.
That is all I got.
Also, if this your first bike or did you just move up to this one?
