Default my recent acquisition

ok so here's what happened. a little over a year ago i agreed to help a friend out by putting his bike in my name and just have him make the payments. so anyways due to current circumstances he can't pay anymore and offered me to keep the bike and take over payments. so naturally i jumped on it. but here's the kicker... it's a CRUISER!!!! it's a 2007 yamaha v-star 650 classic. so I'm excited to have something a little more comfy to ride around town but i don't know anything about cruisers!! if anyone could send some info or advice on maintanence and anything else my way I'd greatly appreciate it. thanks in advance guys

-marcos.

No different from any other bike maintenance wise, except its a shaft drive & they need bugger all done except changing the oil at the prescribed interval. Enjoy

That is AWESOME, man!!! If I could park a cruiser in my garage under the same circumstances, that would be fine by me. The best of both worlds, yes?
