Hello all. It finally hit 50 degrees (F) here today so I started practicing on my new Ninja in the parking lot. I have a few quick questions. I would've posted these in the mechanical forum, but they are such NEWBIE questions I thought I would put them here:
1) When I started the bike up I let it warm up for about 10 minutes. I sat on it and flipped up the kick-stand and heard, what sounded like a warning sound. The sound faded after about 10 seconds. Does that sound normal or familiar to anyone?
2) Is the clutch pretty durable? I ask because, after tooling around the lot from 1st to 2nd and back down, I noticed a faint "hot" smell after putting it in neutral and putting it on the stand.
Since I have NEVER ridden before, I am using this forum as my help. But, rest assured, I signed up for the safety course and that starts Thursday. Thanks all!
