New to riding.

Hey guys, I'm Drew and I am in Texas. I am a Navy Policeman and I just bought my first ever motorcycle-2005 GZ250. It had about 2000 miles on it and I paid about 3200 with tax/title.

I have been out riding a bit and I notice little things like the idling is never consistent. Sometimes it idles high and others low. I had some issues with the battery as well. When I pulled it off the truck it wouldn't start up until I jumped the battery, however it was working fine at the dealer. I bought a trickle charger for now and I am curious if that is going to be enough or if I should just replace the battery all together.

I know this bike is a starter bike and I am sure I will upgrade in the future, however for now I love it and I hope to gain some great knowledge from this forum.

Thanks all,
