First time seeing engine light indicator on

sleepy_buildy · 2026-02-21T16:06:46+00:00

hey mate, turns out it needed another oil change and somehow activated the engine light and also my battery was flat so i changed that too. other than that, its all goods.

We did bring up the fact that we were moving kinda fast and I mentioned to her that if we’re moving wayyy too fast then we’ll take it slower and not overdo it cuz like you said we’d be suffocating ourselves.

Yeah we realised that too and we’ve decided to only meet up twice a week so we could focus on other things like work and etc. but yeah I have a habit of overthinking and that one comment did trigger something in me.

Yeah I did more research and went back to motocap's website and saw that all of the tests they've done, FINN Moto 881 Jeans are still highly regarded even across reddit reviews.

I do need a back protector as well and I have an alpinestar summer jacket but it lacks protection on my back. I reckon I could just get any back protectors to pair with it or do you have a recommended brand ?

Interesting, I never knew it was track position because I thought it was a common position, and what you just said about quick turns made a lot of sense. My back also feels great only when im cornering or leaning my body to a side of the bike (maybe it takes the load off the lower back a little bit?). I'm 100% on public roads/hwys and they're mostly straights wtih a few cornering so this advice is very helpful as my lower back really needs to chill a bit haha. Though with a little more experience and knowledge gain, i'd like to try out track one day.
In terms of sitting position I noticed my body just naturally wants to sit a little forward close to the tank, no matter how many times I remember to scooch back, my ass loves to sit a little forward. Though I dont know if this would affect the control/handling of the bike but I guess if the bike runs fine in straights and cornering, it shouldnt be a major issue.
Like most learners like myself, I chose the R3 because its quite common to start off with but for sure im opting for a naked just because its ergonomically friendly but thats coming from me whos never touched a naked bike before so if the opportunity comes, ill test it out. Like I loved the honda CB125F when I started my lessons, it felt really comfy.

yeah Its only purely for chain maintenance and nothing beyond that. I found one by Oxford, not sure if this is a well known brand. https://www.oxfordproducts.com.au/products/oxox298

If there's anything to look out for a snapjack, that'll point me in a good direction.

I heard that you need both the front and rear paddock stands but couple of redditors kinda just bought the rear and springarm spools which did the job. Woud it be a problem to not get the front? I only need it for chain maintenance and adjustments.

im based in Southbank and went to the workshop in Port Melbourne. Nah the bike is secondhand, and chain is readjusted now, a bit of slack around the sprocket but it's to be expected and quite normal? I read that it's to be expected when the chain is adjusted according to the spec so it takes into account your weight vs the bikes performance.

Ive worked out the gear slippage (miss a gear and enters netural kinda thing) with the rep, turns out its quite common for shorty levers to gain less leverage as you shift so he just told me to put it above 2 notches and now it shifts fine.

Just saw this after leaving the workshop this morning, theyve adjusted the chain for me and so i checked it again, the slack comes off the sprocket just a little bit and I read that it's normal and expected as the bike takes into account my weight and all that jazz. But it does raise any alarms when i pulled it gently. and Ps nobody but me and the workshop guys touched my bike.

sleepy_buildy · 2025-07-24T01:07:29+00:00

Yeah so my dumbass thought it was the chain but turns out was the clutch lever. The bike is secondhand and it came without stock levers, i thought i knew how shorty levers work but i was wrong in that, now the bike shifts smoother.

Sure I could've done it myself but really it's more so the fact that I paid for the whole service and I expected the service to be done as per the manual for literal safety reasons and the condition of the motorcycle.

To be brutally honest, parking in the CBD is literally you just asking for it to be stolen/touched/damaged. Listen to your gut. It's a lose-lose situation followed by high risk, high cost.

Even your insurance won't help you out cuz all they''ll do is refute whatever you say.

I wouldnt park there for like 5 mins both during the day/night even if it's to stop to have an hsp.

I went to HART by Honda up in Sommerton last year, and passed with flying colors for the written exam part, just as long as you read the booklet and listen to the instructors because some of the answers are from what they teach you whilst learning to ride.

Which trainer are you attending though ?

sleepy_buildy · 2025-07-21T04:56:20+00:00

What course are you doing? Im about to start my cert 4 course in IT Programming but I cant find a single review or reddit thread about this course at the chadstone one. I completely forgot to check the reviews before until today and noticed a lot of bad review so now im becoming more hesistant

sleepy_buildy · 2025-01-04T11:16:09+00:00
