Thanks for the story. I have been trying to get my bike ready to get inspected so I can finally register it and I am just frustrated. I can look at it now as all of this is teaching me so much about maintaining a bike. I have zero experience in this as this is my first bike. So I am grateful for all who help me out and the lessons I am learning from this. I tried to start motorcycling a few years ago and I crashed a SV650 on a test ride weeks after my MSF course. I was completely in over my head. I have been looking to get back into riding but I was apprehensive and finally decided that I must start slow and steady and get good at riding on this 250 but it also comes with learning a lot of the mechanical aspects.
