I joined this site back in 2010.... I've mostly just been browsing around in the background.

... I ride whichever one is in better working condition and not visiting the mechanic.


Hi Laura!  :hi:

So, uh... What haven't we covered in the past five years that would cause you to still send your bike(s) to a mechanic?

Do you have a copy of the Yamaha Service Manual? If not, they show up regularly on FleaBay.

I don't currently do any of the work on my bikes. I have the Manual, but I don't have the time and I don't have a garage. I have a friend who is a motorcycle mechanic.   :smile:

Yep, I have my own mechanic as well, but he is a bit of an A-hole.  :ireful: :ireful: :ireful: Being your own mechanic can have its down sides...  :blush: But I am happy with the quality of work and he works all hours when needed...
