Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynax Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 nothing is pointless with motorcycles, your life depends on it being 100% reliable and roadworthy, any jobs no matter how small or seemingly insignificant are all important Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James in Brum Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Can you get a Haynes manual for it? Then look at the service schedule in the front and work through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potatobroxd Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Get some mods on it e.g handlebars, grips, air filters etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggie Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Without knowing your competence at mechanical things I'm hesitant to mention things to do! Cleaning, Adjusting & lubing the chain is usually a good starting point. As mentioned see if you can get the haynes book or try searching online for the service manual in pdf form.Youtube is very useful as well.

JYeates Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 Thanks for the replies, I will have a look into the manual! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Define easy jobs! A full engine strip down and rebuild is an easy job to me but may not be for you. Are you handy with a spanner etc? or are you totally new to all this? Feel free to start a post in the pitstop section of what you are looking to do and members will guide you through it if need be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
