    Default Motorcycle Shops?

    I recently got a motorcycle and was wondering if anyone knows any good garage for it?

    Download a haynes maunal and get some tools. For the most part and simple maintenance even our 600s are easy to work on. For things like internal engine work. Id let the pros do it.

    CLEAN / LUBE CHAIN. gas I don't remove. fill it up and add stabilizer. oil change before storage and then I ride it all summer with that oil. tighten up the bolts here and there. but maint is easy.

    The ducati will be a bit different. Battery tender, maybe fuel stabilizer, and I'll hopefully have at least a rear stand for it.

    Its to stabilize your fuel and protect your fuel system, including the tank from corrosion due to water build-up from condensation.

    yea I put mine on front and rear stands. deflate the tires to about half. put the battery tender on, and a little spray grease on parts that move. pegs and stuff. clean and regrease the chain.

    @Daylindafung but if you have any questions make sure to ask. theres a good 250 ninja following in the gta
