Mechanical Knowlege
after having my ninja for more then a year i learned how to properly perform some good stunts and learned riding basics. the problem is i have minimal car knowlege and no bike repair IQ. as far as ive gone is put a slip on exhaust on and replace my handlebars, lights and chain.
instead of buying a user manual everytime i buy a used bike or paying a mechanic how can i gain some real knowlege of repairing and customizing sportbike? something else i want to find a decent magazine on the stands thatll show me some things but most of them out there are just chock full of ads and bullshit. suggestions guys? thank you!

Re: Mechanical Knowlege
you just gotta start doing ****. do the basic **** on your own - brakes, replacing cables etc etc etc but have friends help you with the big **** - motor swaps, clutches - **** like that when youre first starting. i had no knowledge of workin on bikes/cars when i first started doing wheelies and paid a shop to fix **** every time i broke stuff which got expensive so i just started doing **** on my own and askin friends for help. but it still sucks workin on bikes
