Can we have tutorials pls?

Im a new rider and would like to do my own maintanence or repairs. Ive seen tutorials with pictures on other forums for cars and think alot of us on here would benefit from these.

I would think a good start would be to get these in place
Throttle sensor(i know there is one)
Brake caliper overhaul
Spring change
Handle Bar conversion
Chain Adjustment
Maybe accsesories fitting ect.

The Mods could make a new section to the forum and put all these in there easy to find and maintain.

Thoughts, suggestions, volunteers ect!!

Kits come with instructions, except for brake caliper refurb (I might do a how-to on that). For rest of it RTFM.

I've already posted how-to's for heated grips and Nautilus airhorns....... search is your friend.

Ive just read about a fellow org member fitting rethal bars and it came with no instructions. I agree that most kits come with some form of instructions but some maintancence or repair work doesnt.
In addition there may already be how to's as independent has mention but i think we could improve the site by having these as a menu on the homepage.

RTFM?

Badsaboy there is a "How to" and FAQ section on the home page, it's one of those blue buttons down the left hand side under the three flags.

You'll also find a lot of "how to" tutorials by Googling them. They may not be SV specific but will still help.

Other than that, I'm sure many of those topics have been covered, doing a quick search should lead you in the right direction.

sam ive just gone to see what you have mentioned. spot on.
I think we could improve it a bit if we move them onto the forum and maybe add pictures.

Yeah that will be me. Yes the kit doesn't come with any instructions. To be honest I set out with the intention of doing a step by step of the conversion, but I became to engrossed in actually doing it. I guess it's a case of why make a difficult job more difficult.

That is indeed an issue. I have found myself setting out with good intentions on numerous occassions and once the first couple of pics have been taken and the hands are all oily, the camera never gets picked up again. In all honesty, Mr Haynes now does a pretty adequate manual for maintenance purposes - it were different back int' old days.
