Spent about an hour and a half total today on the new bike. Getting used to it, seeing what works and what might need some TLC.
Right now I'm concentrated on the front brakes (stiff) and a weird whirring noise at speed, unrelated to braking. Pretty much anything above 1st gear. The Internet tells me it might just be a cable that wants some lube. Specifically, the speedo cable. I'm thinking I'll probably lube up all the cables I can get my hands on just to be safe.
Hopefully I can spend some time looking into it this weekend. Those front brakes definitely need something...
Also: Motorcycle insurance achieved for $15/month! Liability/injury only. On a bike worth only $1k, I'm not too worried about comprehensive coverage.
More to come!
A long term adventure on a beautiful Honda 1981 CM400 motorcycle. Learning, riding, repairing, adventuring!
