It's a confidence issue. So far I haven't done any damage to a bike, just had to readjust/ reposition things on the odd occasion.
I changed my oil today as well as cleaning out my air box, putting a fenda extenda on (I know, but it's not for looks, it's for winter), a new reg plate (the old one had dealer writing in the middle and bottom, was bigger then legal so I changed to a simpler legal one with a gb bit on just to tidy it up, and a new tax disc holder to keep my new tax disc nice and dry over the winter!!
I always get so worried that I've done something up too loose, or worse, too tight!! I never got encouraged to tinker when I was younger so only started doing bits on my bikes recently, then only taking them into the garage once a year for a major service.
I suppose I just have to try and convince myself that if I do mess up I've got breakdown cover and Griff's only a phone call away!!! Any other suggestions to help with my pain gratefully received!!
fenda extenda looks like this in case you were curious
