Hell she changed the oil in the TBSS the other month because she wanted to.

There is no reason why it can't be done. I generally just explain what to do and why. She goes along and does it.

Thanks for the insight everyone.

I'm one of those people that has never really worked on my own bike. Of course there are a variety of reasons (no garage and no tools), but I'm slowly rectifying it and doing things little by little. Hell it was a big accomplishment for me to change my coolant out! :lmao:

Not sure which way I'm going to go with this article yet but I appreciate the help!

It's not even about MC maintenance.

mostly. I CAN do all of it - down to building from frame up - but Louie is there to help with questions (and google is if he's not). I'm fortunate to have the space, time, and tools.

Good book just kinda hard to get through. I own it and it took forever for me to read. But I also have both twist of the wrists and another one that i for some reason I can't remember.

Oh and I can change oil and do a few other simple things. But I think I'm going to find a friend to teach me other stuff once I get my bike.

I had to buy one special tool, a 22mm hex head socket for my front axle. I could only get from Snap On so it was an arm and a leg, but is better than rigging up something like we did the first time I took the front wheel off.

A lot of people (I work with) are surprised that I work on my own bike (car too). I take pride in knowing about the bike or car that I'm operating. I may not know as much as someone else, but I know more than some.
Kawi toolkits come incomplete? The 954's kit is excellent though I've added hemostats and a razor boxcutter to it
