Maintenance course

[Fats25]

Apart from the following:-

Checking tyre pressure & tread
Checking and adding oil
Checking and adding to Scottoiler

I know absolutely nothing to help me maintain my bike. I read about all of you on here that do your own services, up to much more technical things that I don't understand!

I am looking for some type of further education class to help me understand the basics, anyone got any ideas? or even just ideas to help me find somewhere?

Not interested in learn at home as there are too many distractions - definitely needs to be an attendance course

Contact your local colleges for course although you'll need to get a wriggle on as the start of term isn't that far away.

I service/fix all my own cars and my fireblade and taught myself at home using the workshop manuals but the most important thing you can ever learn is not to bodge a job when you don't have the correct tools, it just isn't worth it... wait until you do have the tools.

Good luck,

I know there is not long to get enrolled.

I have tried East Sussex and Kent Councils - about as much use as a chocolate teapot.

B*gger... next best thing is a car maintenance course I guess. All the techniques are more or less the same and with the knowledge you gain from that, some tools and the workshop manual you would be pretty much there.
