On my 96 Suzuki Bandit the chain looks a little long and it dangles down a li'l low or so it seems. When i shift gears it clicks... a pretty heavy click. i dont know what other bikes do because this is my first bike. I just got it insured and will start all the other legalizations over the next week. anyone in the Denton TX area that would come look at my newly acquired motorcycle and make sure everything is ok with it since i will be riding it almost everyday from now on. I would hate to get stuck somewhere and have to call someone to come pick me up or worse, have something break and cause a wreck. Also i havent changed the oil on the bike since i got it (only about 200miles ago) and would like to know how to.
My other issue with it is that when i am riding it, it wont get up and go when i put on the gas sometimes... perhaps because it is old but it only has 15k miles. It didnt do it when i first got the bike but maybe im not letting it warm up enough. My rides are only like 5 to 10 min long, i can only ride around the block a few times since i dont have my license or anything else yet. Is this common for a non-warmed up bike? Also it makes a different sound than when i first got it. it has more vibrations in the sound rather that the smoother Vroom to it when i first got it. If any of you experienced folk out there like to shoot the shit with younger/inexperienced riders let me know... I love to talk mustangs with people and now that i have a new baby to take care of. I would love to learn much more about it.
I am available sunday morning and my phone number is 817 915 0290 and any info on these issues is greatly appreciated
