    About this ebook

    Caring for your motorcycle demonstrates respect for what it is. Although it’s easy to become complacent and take its performance and reliability for granted, doing so puts your safety and wellbeing at risk.
    While many people cringe at the thought of picking up a tool, learning a few basics exposes how simple maintenance can be. Beyond the benefits of the mechanical education, the insights you discover about yourself change your perspective on your own power.
    Sometimes you overlook yourself in your quest to serve others. Yet, if you don’t demonstrate that you value yourself, how can others value you?
    Taking even a remote interest in tending to routine motorcycle maintenance—like checking tire pressure, checking your oil, or changing a bulb—can awaken personal insights. Looking behind the covers exposes qualities you may not have known were there.
    Take your maintenance activities to the next level, even if that’s just the starting line. You’ll be amazed at what it teaches you about yourself and where that will take you.
