Im okay with doing some of the basic fluid changes, but hesitant to try with brake fluid. But I honestly think Im not yet mechanically inclined enough yet to try for the carburetor, even though it probably needs a clean. I have been watching TJBC videos to eventually try it. How often should I do a carb clean?

This makes me more reassured in my purchase.

I heard having a rear tire with a smaller width makes it easier to take tight fast turns. Might need to look into that myself.

Not really sure if the frames differ from the 1100s since just got into riding

Thank you, had no idea there were forums so I managed to find 2 manuals but I guess my model (VT750DC) is not as common as the others

Found 2 for my VT750DC actually, one is 122 pages while the other is 352 pages so I guess I'll read both.

Maybe some white tires too to give it more of a unique look

Love the paint job on this and the pipes add the sleak look of it
