    Hi all,

    Passed my test last year to mark 50th birthday, picked up a Tiger 800 XRX a few weeks ago, 65 plate. It's my second bike since passing my test. Use it everyday, so much so we recently sold our 2nd car, so I have no option but to use the bike for commuting now.

    Loving it, should of done this 30 years ago, but so pleased I've finally got back on a bike, and this time without the L plates.

    Hoping to learn some of the technical stuff here, I've not none much auto maintenance in a long time.
