Does anyone have any information on this site. I do most of my own wrenching and a friend recommended this site.

LTC (Join to see), they have some decent free stuff and if you buy the premium membership you have unlimited video access. If you want to get in DEEP the videos can get you there. I don't know that I would go too far on them alone. If you have a manual for your scoot you might not need the site though.

I've got the factory manuals and have done well so far without these guys, just wondering of anyone has any experience with them. The free videos I have watched seem pretty basic.

I do most of my own work as well. When I am done working on my bike and there are left over bolts not used during re assembly, I like to call that weight reduction. lol

I have watched a few of their "free" videos..and Id say... you would be better off at an enthusiast site that caters to YOUR model specifically.. The benefit of the model specific DYI videos and write ups are that they are specific to Your bike, which is what the non experienced home wrench needs..
If all you needed was specs and such, then get those on line and go to town.

SGM Erik Marquez Thanks, that is pretty much what I have done so far, and of course reach out to friends when necessary.

LTC (Join to see) - Building and working on bikes is what i do for a living, as well as teach others to ride.
Im active on several bike model specific forums and one all brand style off road one.
While I cant and wont provide step by step written instructions to replace the second gear driven on the counter shaft of a DRZ400 transmission in the forum, I have often posted an answer as to how to access the hidden snap ring to remove it,,,or reminded users to take care and place the sharp flat edge of the new replacement snap ring towards the thrust side...
IOW, there is lots of tech help available for those willing to help them selfs, but the folks with experience and knowledge tend to not be willing to help those that want to be told which nut holds the taillight bub to the muffler... Doing your own research, having the factory manual in front of you, having read it, and considered the task and don't understand something about it? Ask, there is help for that.
Look in the manual and on line parts fiche and try and use "proper" names for parts and such..that helps as well with both non verbally telling readers you are looking at ti from trusted sources, and helps others understand what your actually asking about...vice using a local learned, regional, or "common" term for a part or assembly.

SGM Erik Marquez - I agree with you. I am fairly competent mechanic, but I don't do it for a living. I have several friends that tinker as well and we all work together on projects when necessary on one needs a hand.
