I need a new battery, tires (probably), fluids changed, and who knows what else before I get the bike out. Did I mention that I can probably only do the battery and oil change? Lol

You gotta get that shit done over winter...spring comes you throw in the battery and off you go...

Why can't you do the fluids?
No even close to confident in my ability. The oil change is easy enough...but I don't have a torque wrench for it so I tighten it...if it leaks, I tighten a little more. People say to watch some YT vids, but tbh, I'm one that learns better by asking questions while observing. If I could do the fluids I could save a bunch of $$$ and then would only be the tires left, and that would fit in the budget. Over the winter wasn't really an option. I had the eye surgery last summer. Only went back to work late Oct and wasn't even sure if I would be riding this year. Just got the all clear from the surgeon last month.

That purple thing....lol Come by, I'll help with the oil change. Thought, I didn't usually use a torque for the longest time on the drain bolt, then decided I might as well since it's sitting in the drawer. Was never too far off from hand tightening to checking with the torque wrench though.
