hi all,

thought id say hello.

im new to this motorbike thing (had cars since i was old enough to drive) but fuel and insurance costs have caused me to swap from my v70 t5 to a bike.

my buddy has always had bikes and quads, and he would mock me every day for not giving up to the dark side and getting a bike, so now the dirty deed has been done and a shiny new 2011 pulse adrenaline 125 carries me to work every day and takes me out for rides that i just couldnt afford to do in a car anymore.

its more fun than i imagined and the cbt wasnt as hard as i feared, i wish id gone over sooner!

im only just due a first service and wondered what peoples opinion of dealer servicing just to keep a warranty was.

i work in a motor factors and im good on the tools too, so im going to tackle as much as i can with the forums advice, ive ordered a new oil filter through work and have access to castrol oils at the right price, so im inclined to save my £45 and do it myself, is the warranty worth preserving?

thanks for hanging in there through a long first post

i hope this forum is as welcoming as my old volvo one was!

cheers for now


James
