hi,
am looking for somewhere that does courses on basic motorcycle maintance. although i have a bike and ride it everyday(almost), i don't know enough to look after him properly.
i tried trowbridge college but they stopped doing this a while back.
anyone know anywhere else??
cheers
Not sure if they still do but Swindon College did do a basic course.
yep - swindon college do a one day course for about £40 i think - not sure how much info it will teach in one day though?

If you can get a Haynes manual. They tell you about the basic maintenance in the first few pages. It doesn't even have to be one for your bike.
Cheers

Did a bit of research for you - here is the link to the swindon college prospectus. They have a one day course :

lecture-style course to make motorcycling safer and
less expensive. You will learn how the basic components
work, safety aspects, tricks of the trade and
problem solving.

cat a workshop manual for your bike would be a good starting point,not sure what college courses are available but there are a lot of usefull tips on you tube http://uk.youtube.com/results?search...le+maintenance hope this is of some help :)
I would start by just doing simple servicing on you bike with the aid of a manual, that’s how I got going
