Thought I'd recommend the Oval Motorcycle Centre, as I couldn't find any reference to it elsewhere on the forum. The OMC is a great resource if you've not got a fully kitted out home workshop.
I'm a new rider, with next to no experience of bike maintenance; I dropped in for their monthly motorcycle maintenance beginners course last night, taught by Matt Liddy, it was great and I'll be booking in next week to get my bike up on a stand and change out my rear brake pads.
