  • It is intimidating if you think of car maintenance, but I cannot impress how easy these things are.

    If its not a fully fared bike, step 1 of pulling the plugs:

    Pull the plugs. They’re right there. For the oil, you open the cap at the bottom of the clutch housing (get an oil pan first). If the oil isn’t pretty black, you’re changing it too soon. There’s a hole at the top you put the new oil in. You can stick a screwdriver in to see the color of the oil to tell if you need a change.

    I wouldn’t say you shouldn’t walk if you’re afraid to cross the street, I would be confused that someone thinks they’re unable to.



  • I wouldn’t say tinker, but if you have a bike, I kinda expect you know how to change the oil, lube+tension the chain, change the plugs, battery, tire maybe, just stuff you have to do frequently anyway that you can do in the tine it takes to get to the shop.

    The alternative is spending a ton of time and money.

    Also they’re much easier to work on than cars, especially if there’s no cowling.

    the original one said bad things against your imperialist government

    The original one was a slave owner wtf

    I don’t have a very strong opinion on Tibet as I haven’t been there and investigated, but anyone defending the Lamas China drove out knows even less and is just trying to twist anything at all into hostile evidence.
