prakthad Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 I remember hearing (in Kansas) that a lot of local school run evening/weekend courses in Motorcycle Repair. Has anyone heard of any courses in Columbus? The only other way to learn would be on my own motorcycle but it would take years and some bad mishaps before I look at any actual internals. A lot of people on this forum really do know a lot about motorcycles and, if it's possible, I would love to come watch and learn when someone is working on their motorcycle. Beer in return for lessons ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchmuckGirl Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 hmmm, that's a good question. I could probably benefit from such a course as well, if you happen to find one.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ousley99 Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Nothing in columbus is going to have the technical detail and knowldege that your are looking for.. They are mainly entry level courses that wouldn't neccasarily be worth a damn! You are going to have to head out west to the institute if you want the knowledge to work on internals!

dustinsn3485 Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Or Florida.However unless it's a career path you are wanting to take the 20K price tag might not be real exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyec001 Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 You're best bet is probably really going to spend $500 on a POS and start learning. Try to find as much info as you can about the bike and start working on it.It just so happens I have an '81 Honda CM400E that needs some work done to it. I've been debating on tearing it down and rebuilding it or...not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbarron77 Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Ask advice from the folks here.No matter how much crap we sling at one another, there is a ton of respect for one another's ability to work on SOME part of a bike.As long as you supply the food/beer/parts, there's usually someone here willing to help, or they know someone who can be trusted to do the work.

Cheryl Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 I would like to learn basic motorcycle maintenance on my bike. Are there groups that get together to have causal classes on the topic? I understand that COVID 19 may have changed the protocols but I would love to learn with others (even if now it's via video). I'm scared to mess with my bike, it's leaking something and I'm clueless and would love to ride again. PS. Groveport, OH area or nearby.

I like to search to see if anybody has done a certain job before jumping in myself. Amazon and YouTube - masters of time suckage...😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of people here will help point you in the right direction on what to check and what the something is. Good luck 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Mac Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Sounds like a clutch push rod seal seeping.😁 Invites us all to a garage day at your place serving endless food and drinks and I am sure someone will fix your bike. P.S. Warn your community. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
