10'000 dyi

Thanks too all Dawg and Philm especially for the knowledge that the are willing to put on this site. I have a local bro who we call Boom who would fit right in with you guy's. I used to wrench on everything due to lack of funds but I got away from it. The bike got a 10'000, tire and brakes for a 1/3 of what I would have paid at the dealer. I didn't run it to anything that anybody who can turn a wrench couldn't have handled and I've seen parts of my scoot I didn't know was there. So if your willing and able DIY and take a day to enjoy your scoot in a whole new way and save some bucks while your at it.

Out of all the things I have done, that back wheel was the biggest PIA! I hope it get easier next time. Congrats on doing it yourself. Feels good, doesn't it? I agree that the forum has a lot of really helpful people.

ride safe.
