Hi everyone. I'm completely new to XS650.com and completely new to motorcycles. I've had a keen interest in XS650s and learning the mechanics for years now and I finally took the plunge and got my liscense and took riding classes.
I look in this forum and almost all the topics are about very specific problems using lingo that I have yet to learn and I was wondering how did you learn what you now know about the workings of a motorcycle? My goal is to be able to self-service it and fix easy problems and be able to identify complications when it arises.
Are there books in the library to take out? Websites with diagrams that breaks it down so a complete newbie can understand?
Thanks for all your time and bear with me!
