Thanks for the responses everyone! I will get some kerosine soon to clean that chain and try the dupont lube! (thanks W.W. I know it was a dumb question, but I'm doing this bike thing on my own, no help from a mechanically inclined partner, so I'm sure I'll ask more), Like Goose said, it's why this forum is here, for us to help each other. My first couple forays out I was wearing just a half helmet (all I had), my modular full face helmet came today, and I feel much better about hitting the open road, one problem though, it smells horrible! all chemical/plastic, I might have to ride with the visor up for a while till the smell dissipates a little. Still new to this site, what would be the best way of finding what other GZ owners are installing for crash bars, Alen???I'm also thinking I need at least a windsheild, if not a faring for my ride!, and Northside, yes! Idaho is filled with scenic county roads, and quiet highways, I'm so excited to check out a bunch of them!! Would like to find some folks to ride with, I have several friends that ride (mostly big Harleys) and a little hesitant to ask them to ride with me, cause I will go slower than they will want, but until I get some more miles under my belt, slow is best for me, don't want to ride beyond my skill level yet! all about fun and safety!! better order "proficient motorcycling" too!
