Diving deeper...

In Finland the motorbike driving season is so short. And the waiting season is so long. And for me, the driving season was even shorter, since I got the bike at the end of summer. Only about month of fun... :(

BUT there is more to motorbikes than only driving! I want to learn what is inside the bike also. So... garage ready, tools set and GO!!! My first evening spent in garage is now experienced and IT WAS FUN! Almost more enjoyable than driving...

Well... for the first maintenance work I picked something really easy... Changing the sparking plugs sounded just right and at the same time getting acquainted with the bike - what is located where. Next on the list is cleaning the air filter, then changing motor oils and oil filter, repairing a nasty crack on side panel (ok ok, my part in this is just releasing and attaching the side panel), oiling chains... and let's see what else. The main point here anyway is really to konw the bike and how it works.

Now I understand men more - the garage really can be a funny place to spend hours! Christmas at a garage??? Doesn't actually sound very bad...

This was the starting point - sparking plugs located!




And here they are... now one to pocket as an example and on to the way to Motonet!



These are the tools currently... Let's see how long it takes before they are doubled... tripled???
