Hey everyone,
I just became a member of this forum today. Let me first start off by saying, I have learned so much from this website in the last 5 days it's unreal. I've been browsing for hours just searching through different topics and getting as much as I can out of all your posts.
I've been riding for almost 3 years and I really enjoy it. This is something I will definitely do for the rest of my life so I would like to start working on different projects besides just the absolute basic maintenance on my bike. I am impressed by all of your knowledge and hope to learn quickly using this site
I have a 97' Savage with a Jardine slip-on muffler with 13k miles and it rides incredibly well. My girlfriend also just bought a custom bobber style 07' s/40 with 4k miles (really jealous!). So far, I have done oil changes, cleaned the air filter, and installed a Raptor Petcock on my motorcycle, but there are so many other things I would like to do after reading different topics on this website.
To be quite honest, I am only able to understand about 15-20% of most conversations that I read here. I do not have much experience working with motor vehicles and engines. This is all new to me but I really enjoy fixing things
Does anyone have any recommendations to help me understand the different topics? I think if understand how the engine works it will help me exponentially with the comprehension of all these topics. Anyone know of any well written literature on this?
Any projects I should start off with first, like checking/cleaning the carb?
