New owner, new rider

technocat · 06-08-2011, 03:05 AM

Hey, I just picked up a new 2009 model year GZ250 and just from the drive home, I absolutely love it so far.

When I bought it, it had just 370 miles on it, but you couldn't tell it had been driven at all except by looking at the ODO. The guys at Mt. Baker Motorsports where I bought it said it was a loaner for the local instructor of a safety class, so it was treated extremely well by an experienced rider for its 370 miles, and it already had its first service (they never said what that entailed)

My first question is, how often should I expect to service it? I mean oil change, chain lube, etc. I have been working on cars, rebuilding engines for several years but I am very new to the motorcycle world.

Any tips would be awesome! Thanks! :2tup:
