Hi Paul and welcome!
Although I was an experienced rider when I found this board, like you, I am not very mechanical. HA! That is changing with all the help I get from the great people here. Because of all the pics and great descriptions and advice, I have changed my oil (a couple of times now), replaced the clutch cover gasket, and cleaned out my petcock filters and installed an in line fuel filter. I am even inspired to try working on my Suzuki VZ 800 Marauder (have changed oil so far).
I regularly clean and lube my chain and am very vigilant about proper tire pressure. Although I am still "terrified" to do anything bordering "serious" I know that when I'm ready the advice will be forthcoming. Don't be too much a "lurker."
