If I may be so bold, please, allow an old dude to toss out an idea or two.
Go slow. YOuve stated youre excited, & I get that, but thats a great way to dive in too deep for your level of knowledge & expertise. As stated above, before you go buying manuals, ask the board what manual to get. They arent all created equal, but, the knowledge on the board can meke them equal. Before ya start in one a project that may be more than youre really ready for, ask here, check th e tech section. Tons of hours have gone into creating a library of proven methods of problem solving & put there for your use. Make the most of it, its free & its priceless. None of it is there because of me,,
Find a problem that gonna stop you from riding it? Study up, run a post, describe what youre planning on doing,wait for thumbs up or advice guiding you on your way. Go into it, come to a question in the process, go to that thread, ask for help. We can see what youre doing, how youre going at it & you can tell where you are & whats got you in a bind. People will offer solutions, youll pick one & take a run at it.,,
If youre like me, you need more than 1 project going at any one time. I need several. Some days, I cant do technical, some days, I cant do labor, heck, some days I cant even get dressed, so, If you want to tackle a wheel/tire problem at the same time youre working on the plug leak, cool,but cover that engine up if its open, even if youre not doing anything else, I never walk away from an open engine w/o covering it with clean rags,
If you need a tube, youre gonna wish you had someone else install it. Thats gonna run around $30.00. Unless that tire is almost brand new & a good quality tire, you may want to just replace it. If it got much of a wound that made you need a tube thats even more reason to ditch the tire,
