What's comical is that the title and registration both say "A16" for model. Had I not bought the bike and someone randomly said "You should really look into an A16, they are really nice" I would have looked at them with a blank stare, because I would have had no clue.
I am glad to be here, and hope to meet many local members in the coming year. I live in Haverhill, MA, about a mile from the Plaistow, NH border.
Bought the bike from someone who I could tell really loved the bike when he was healthy enough to ride it. Unfortunately he injured himself and the bike sat idle for quite a while (all of this year at least)
Bike fired right up when I went to look at it and I drove it the 45 minutes it took me to get it home. Once I parked it, I noticed a few small puddles underneath. Looks like some type of oil. I would ask if that's normal but I will just assume it isn't. I am not mechanically inclined, but y son is and I do plan to do the routine maintenance when it is needed. Unfortunately, the larger projects will require a good mechanic, and preferably someone who is familiar with the ZG1000.
Can anyone in my area (Anywhere in Eastern Mass and Southern NH or Maine) recommend a mechanic?? I wouldn't mind getting the bike checked before storing it, and with any luck whatever is the issue can wait until the spring and I can get the bike serviced and on the road come April.
Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks!
