    Part time mechanic training for enthusiast

    Recently I changed engine oil, filter, brake pad for my Yamaha R15 and I felt so good. I felt satisfied and very much liked it. Even though I struggled a lot to do it but still I liked it.
    I have a thought of learning properly so that I can service my bike myself.

    Is there any where in Bangalore we can get part time training for auto mechanic?

    PS All DIY in this forum is superb. It shows how much people love their bike.

      It feels heaven when you perform a service or part change or just an oil change. It was all fun during two stroke days, but now things have changed with these newer electronics and sensors all around the bike. The latest bikes are like computers on wheels, miss something or dirt on some sensors after a DIY, you are screwed to the core.

      Like you said a proper training from someone who specializes on the new machines and still feels to share his knowledge (rare species) would be a miracle to us. DIY's in the forum is great to have, but a full fledged step by step documentation for each bike is every enthusiast biker's dream.

        I think I should open a school😁.

        Seriously doing own feels good. And no one can take care of your bike as you do. So its possible.

        I usually always do service on my own. Electronics are not a worry. As if you know the repair. Then electronics are not worry. Do you think the mechanics are more educated? The thing I that you have to be careful and know what you are doing. And never be ashamed to ask.
        But changing this and that is easy. Originality lies in finding out the fault.

        Even I was not born with knowledge but with time and experience you gain.

        Maintaining bike is no rocket science. Its more of experience

              @ Sibun,

              Last 4-5 days, I was reading your posts in the HH Splendor thread. Then I come to know that you are an expert in two wheeler field. This mail is regarding tools for my Yamaha SZ-R. My requirements are given below can you help me with the spec/size/type of tools required.

              1. Changing break shoe
              2. Engine oil & filter change
              3. Air filter change.
              4. Cleaning and lubricating chain.
              5. Removing spark plug

              Additional info. Today I have ordered tubular box spanner set (8-9 to 20-22-Eastman) from Amazon. Is this useful?
              And what should I use for chain lubrication? grease or oil? what grade?
