Clymer manuals are user friendly, inexpensive and written for those whom are new to the world of motorcycle repair. You can also purchase a shop manual at the dealership but they can be difficult to understand and may cost you as much as $60 bucks. There are a wealth of books out there for basic motorcycle repair on amazon.com too.

Jason, buy yourself a motorcycle manual relevant to your machine.
If you a adult learning school where you do trades etc, they should have a small engines cse that you should be able to enrol and attend at night.
This would be your best option to learn some skills and about how engines run etc!
If you buy tools don't buy the cheapest as they will not last and you run the risk of damaging parts on your bike.
I could go on about doing different types of servicing but I would run out of room!
Good luck with the knowledge and training.

Oil transformations are common to do your self, and rather under $50 regardless of synthetics. Fork oil transformations are greater in contact, and would run a pair hundred $$$ at a dealership, although that's virtually all exertions, so in case you recognize what you're doing it rather is low fee besides. What motorcycles consume up quickly are tires, and a good pair of sportbike tires will run you $3 hundred-$4 hundred and could positioned on out in approximately 5000 miles. For me it rather is barely a three hundred and sixty 5 days or so, for you that's longer. in case you may face as much as chrome and bling and all the different frippery that expenditures funds without recuperating overall performance or holiday high quality, then you somewhat could do nice. What they consume in tires they greater advantageous than make up for in gas fee low fee rates!

Clymer or Haynes manuals have a front 'basics` section that's suitable for new wrenches.
Get the manual appropriate to yor bike.
