Hoping to learn more about my GZ250

[fossil]

I am still not up with all the motorcycle terms referenced on this site and in motorcycle magazines and books. Before I ride, I always check the tires, chains, and most of the time the lights, but sometimes I don't think I really know what I really should be looking for. Eg. okay the chain feels like it did the last time I checked it so it should be okay? I haven't been too concerned about maintance stuff yet because its a brand new bike and I did take it in for it's first service when I hit 600 miles. It now has about 1,300 miles on it. So to get better understand of the mechanics of my bike, I am taking the "What Every Motorcyclist Should Now" course this weekend. It's a 6 hour course offered through the Puget Sound Safety - http://www.pugetsoundsafety.com/.

Anybody have experience with a course like this? IF so, what was it like and did you get a lot out of it? :??:

FYI: You bring your own bike to the class.
