The art of motorcycle maintenance


After two short rides, the battery in my new-to-me motorcycle was dead. Mark stepped up to help me learn how to do some basics. The water level in the battery was really low & the brake fluid reservoir was completely empty. I added lots of distilled water and charged the battery. Next I will need to bleed the brakes and change the oil. After I dropped the bike while trying to put it on its center stand, Mark called another Mark for advice. Note to self: it's better to wear boots not flip flops when working around a motorcycle.
