Re: New to me, can't wait

Welcome from South Carolina. If you haven't taken the MSF BRC (Motorcycle Safety Foundation Basic Rider Course) now would be a good time. It will get you started on the right foot and avoid bad habits. Also, since you're used to working on cars don't use automotive oil in your ride. Automotive oil contains friction modifiers which will ruin the clutch. Use only morotocycle oil. I use Mobil 1 V-Twin but there is Castrol, Amsoil etc out there.
