8000

i have 8000 miles on my bike, even though i have only had it for a few months, so it's time to do the 8000 mile check up. i have decided to do it myself, as i am cheap (thank you kelly) and i love to do small engine repair. i have had many motorcyles growing up, and have had to work on them all myself so i know what i am doing, i hope. i figure if it takes the shop 3 hours to do the work (costing 300 bucks) it should take me about 8 hours. i downloaded the manual online and it is 452 pages of detailed explaination of the entire bike. so that is what i am doing this weekend. saturday night i have tickets to the thrashers home opener, and i might be getting a couple extra if anyone wants to go.

on a second note, i may be getting a new puppy. a woman at work is bringing by a puppy today (1/2 australian shepard, 1/2 border collie) and i might take it home. it would be nice to have a buddy for max, as i am not there always to hang out with him, however i don't know if i want to deal with the whole puppy thing again. any comments on that? thats all i have for now, peace.

I took my car in for an oil change this weekend and later that day my check engine light was on. Is there anything that they could have done to cause this? The next day as I was going to take the car to an Auto Zone to see why the light was on it went off. My car is a piece of shit, but should I still be concerned??

the light could mean many things, autozone can give you a good idea of what the problem is but not exactly what it is. for example, if it is an oxygen sensor, it could be one of two, autozone will tell you it is an oxygen sensor, but not which one. if you go to the dealer, it will cost more money (since autozone is free) so it is up to you. if it is related to when you got your oil changed, i would go back and take it up with the place who did your oil.
