Introducing one of my best friends, the puncture repair kit. Handy and useful, a life saver in the most unexpected situations, especially combined with a portable air pump.
If you don’t have a pump and the closest servo is not that close, here we go with Mar’s homefix of the day. I know it’s pretty unorthodox as all my crazy ideas, but will give you those extra kilometres you need to get to the service station.
Whether you are learning the basics or building a motorbike from scratch, you will need to set up a working area and get some tools to work efficiently on your motorbike. Remember the most important part of learning is having fun, so make sure you feel comfortable in your working space.
My garage is small. I have to play Tetris with six motorbikes. However, despite the lack of space, I’ve set up a nice home workshop without spending zillions of dollars.
Two years ago, while riding back home from work, I found a 2007 Kawasaki KLX250S in a random property. It was sitting in someone’s backyard, uncovered, exposed to harsh inclemencies and getting rusty.
The battery was charged and the engine was running great. The previous owner assured the motorbike never had any major issue so, after offering some dollars a nice chat, I brought it home with me.
