Mikey, one of these weekends this summer we should do a tech day BBQ somewhere central to the New Englanders. Chain adjustments, oil change, brake pads, etc. I think I'm almost due for pads anyway. A bit of confidence going in to those simple repairs is as good or better than any amount of reading, ya know? Yes, that was ouch, but I think I paid more for mine if it makes you feel better.
