Hi and welcome

Now fully licensed, bought bigger bike, what basic maintenance should I do?
JRH replied to Ms_G's topic in Motorbike Chat
https://www.thedrive.com/reviews/32190/best-motorcycle-tpms But WD40 isn't a dry silicone lube. From experience, dry silicone will last around 500 miles while normal "wet" lube is only good for short rides... Or you could fit something like a Scott Oiler. -
Mainly in the week for me. Leave after the workers rush hour. Home by 3-4-5 whatever. Depends on where the ride ends up.

Ride out to the RADAR memorial. RADAR memorial

Not too far today. Just seeing how my back holds up on our wonderful bumpy roads. Sorry [mention]XTreme[/mention] no abandoned villages and a lot of green.

Pin locks can be cleaned using liquid soap and water. See here. https://pinlock.com/faq/how-do-i-clean-my-pinlock-lens/

Powering a Tomtom or Garmin sat nav with USB.
JRH replied to Throttled's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
Fork type spades are generally for fitting in a “cup” type terminal. If using on a battery terminal, which is usually just a washer and flat plate be careful the forks do not splay out as the bolt is tightened. Cheap thin forks can. I generally find that these are too small to go round the bolts and have to be forced in Wasn’t a problem when I was working. We had fork terminals in red blue and yellow cable sizes from 3mm to 10mm bolt diameter. -

Yea I noticed that. Not been on the road long. Think the owner is still shaking it down.

Leaking fuel/petrol smell - more liquid in engine/oil bit
JRH replied to James in Brum's topic in Pitstop
True. But should be OK for blowing through the carbs. -
Happened to a mate of mine. Ordered a load of timber, and paid, all in stock delivery 5-7 days. Then delivery extended twice. When he phoned to complain was told “out if stock not sure when we get any more.“

Well you don't really want to eat the compressed air as that would just be wasting it, I'm sure you can buy cans of compressed air Used to be able to get it from computer shops and camera shops. Edit. Toolstation , Amazon, screwfix. Google is your friend -
I am on streetview walking down the hill from my house. Fortunately (very) the car came round my road an hour or so after I had returned from a ride out and the bike was hidden away. My old bike was caught on street view at the front of the house.

Hi and welcome. The chain shouldn’t touch anything. Don’t cut anything. First off check the tension and alignment.
