Forums new to me! ?'s Galore!

[Shawn007]

I don't get any of this forum stuff! I just have some ?'s about when to service my YZF. This 1st visit to a site like this is very overwhelming. I would imagine people that spend a lot of time on the net are very familiar with this forum communication stuff, not me. Anyway, the link for "First time visit" says there is info. about how to search around and use forums. But I don't see any of that here. There's just people introductions. I don't have time to "Chat". You don't need to know about me. I came here referred by Eric Gorr's site as a place to get some tech info. Where can I go at this site to find out when it is time to service my '03 32 hours old YZF450
head, Piston etc.?

The YZ450F has a very detailed Service Interval listing in the manual that came with your bike. That's the best place to start, and will waste the absolute minimum of your obviously valuable time. ;)

Thanks Rich. Sorry to sound like I can't sit here long. I'm just not very E-savvy. Yes I know my manual says what it says. But over the years, I've come to learn that what the manual says is not real life. I did learn some good info. that I found in the "Thumper Central" Forum about a guy with similar questions about his YZF250. After spending several hours here tonight (my foxy wife didn't feel good and went to bed early) I've learned a little of the surfing on this site. Are you a person I can ask a more detailed question of about my service issue? Thanks Rich.

Please don't double post. I just posted a fairly time intensive reply to your identical question posted in thumper central:

Now that I have read this post, I'm wishing I didn't just waste 20min digging for someone who really has no intention of becoming a true DRN member. I should have just told you to search like I do with every other forum newb. Too bad I didn't.

Meanie, Meanie, Meanie, at least he didn't ask what the top speed of a 1999 Yz 125 was or if a KX500 would beat ZO6 in a quarter mile drag race or what the 0-6000000 time of a CR450FZ was.

True.
