Hi all!
So, I'm fairly new to motorbikes. I got my license in late 2019 and bought an old Yamaha SR400. Then I got hit by taxi while stopped at a red light and ended up selling the bike, not having the money nor the know-how needed to fix the bike. Last year I bought a 90's Savage. This summer I'm hoping to be able to take it for a longer trip. But I don't know the first thing about repairing motorcycles. Now, I'm not going on a trip around the world, and will probably be able to get assistance if needed. But I would like to be able to take care of the bike myself to a degree. So I have some questions for y'all:
- What are the most common issues with the Savage, that I should be aware of or able to fix before such a trip? Could you recommend some videos on how to fix them?
- What tools are necessary to bring along with me? (Not really Savage-specific, just in general - again, I'm very new to motorcycles...)
- What are some other recommended preparations?
And any other tips you think might be helpful are of course welcomed
Cheers
