Hi Everyone,
I am new to this group,new to riding and have a new(to me) '02 Suzuki Savage (my first bike ever).
I have been reading your posts for hours and ya'll are so interesting and smart!
I have learned so much from just reading the posts here. I really appreciate this group!
I do have a question though and to me it sounds so dumb but I've thought about the problem and just can't figure it out,so I have to ask.(I apologize in advance,as this is my first post)and of course you'll see how little I know about some things
First I wanted to say.....The first time I got on my bike I felt like someone had made this bike just for me! Everything from previous owner was adjusted just right...to fit me.I instantly fell in Love with this bike.
Then,I noticed the back tire was worst than I thought so I decided to have a new tire put on and oil changed.
My question is.....I took my Bike to a sorta Motorcycle Repair guy.He said he changed the tire,adjusted my foot brake and changed the oil and checked my bike out for me.
Ok, then I let a friend of mine ride it home for me....I still havent gotten out on the Highway yet.
So,when I got on it.....it didnt feel like my bike anymore!!
Especially the clutch.....it is now so hard to hold in that the palm of my hand turns red and hurts!
I asked the guy what he did to the clutch and he said "Nothing"....so now I dont know what to do!
Does anyone have any suggestions or know what could have caused this? I know it sounds dumb but it is sooooo important to me to try to get it back like it was.
As a brand new rider I now feel uncomfortable on it,where before it was "Perfect" and very comfortable to me.
Thanks for any help,
