Many people think it is difficult to repair their own motorcycle.
I can prove you the inverse.
It is not hard to do if you have a motorcycle repair manual.
A useful step-by-step, detailed instruction.
Let me make a few examples to encourage you.
Let's say you want to reshape your saddlebag.
There is no need to pay for a mechanic to get the job done.
Neither to buy extra tools.
So let me start.
Soak the bag in hot water for a minute.
Then stuff it with newspaper, at least a weekend edition.
When still wet, put the top back into shape.
Just leave to dry for at least one day.
Then take out the newspaper.
That's it.
Quite simple.
If you wish to have the shape longer, you can put stiffeners in.
For an other example I will tell you how to change your motorcycle's disc brakes.
You may know, if you have disc brakes, you need to change the pads once in a while.
When you have the new pads ready to built in, get your bike on a stand, so the wheels hang freely.
Then loosen off the calliper assembly intact.
After remove the used pads.
Put the new ones on.
Don't forget to change the brake fluids.
Finally replace the calliper assembly.
I hope I could help a little and made you to don't feel too difficult to repair your motorcycle by yourself.
A motorcycle repair manual is very helpful too.
It's even easier to restore your bike if you have a good description in your hand to follow.
