How many people do their own work on their bikes?
I was just curious. It seems to be a toss up in this forum.
I haven't had the dealer to any work on my bike. But I've only done A/C, exhaust, forwards, Thundermax, new seat, and mini apes. I'm going to give it a shot at doing my cams, too. I'm lucky to have a good place to work and a Dad who is a heck of a mechanic and more than willing to help me.

There's an independant about a half mile down the road from me.He's very reasonable, and I've let him do some things on my other bikes.

I do everything that I can. I don't know what I would not try to fix because there is only one person that I trust completely when it comes to my rides.

I've only had a little work to do so far, but what I have, I've done myself or with the help of my neighbors who ride.
