Copying this post here for some visibility. As envisioned, a Maintenance section specifically for new folks is now in process, volunteers needed!
************************************************************************************
Hey, if anyone interested in volunteering some time on producing an informational task, please PM me or respond here.
I've been investing time, comparing subject info within the HOW To section versus info in the old wiki. I'm seeing a definite need to update, simplify and streamline some basic maintenance info in the form of new informational posts (with pics) ...specifically tailored to new members, to be utilized within the section dedicated to basic service procedures.
Nothing will be overburdening in effort, time or terribly technical. Simple, basic, common tasks written with a new, first time owner in mind. I've compiled a to-do list and if some members could do 1 or 2....we'd have a nice clean, coherent section for new folk in no time.
Topics include...battery remove/replace, spark plug replace, air filter service, tank and bodywork removal, chain clean/lube, tire pressures and info.......there are more.
Nothing crazy silly, see? I'll guide you as to focus and parameters needed, but you will work independently....a minimum of drama. No "deadlines" or pressure. A fun, positive, long term contribution to the site.
You'll be fully recognized and credited with providing the info...in the form of permanent, "no touch" threads within the section.
The next phase (refining the advanced maintenance section) will begin to get deeper, after the section for new folk is nailed down.
Looking forward to working with you! Thanks in advance for your help!
