Hi All,

passed my CBT a while ago but have been riding a 'ped to gain some road confidence, finally found a 125 Dragstar (2003 c. 22k miles) with the right price tag and a seller I had a good feeling about so have been on the road for about a week now (clutch control is coming along...slowly!). look forward to chatting to you all in the future.

1 question (yes I have done a forum search) does anyone know of a really basic guide, preferably with pictures explaining day to day maintenance upkeep (changing/checking the oil etc)?

thanks!

James
