Just bought my first bike! It needs a couple of parts . . . gear shift lever and kick shift lever, as well as possibly a left foot peg if it can't be bent back. Does anyone have any advice on where to find these parts? The local Suzuki dealership quoted me $30 for the gear lever and $70 for the kick start. I'd prefer to buy them used if I can.

Also, does anyone have any advice on maintenance? Should I try to find a shop manual? I've always done my own maintenance on cars (oil changes, air filters, tire changes, occasional mechanical bits like swaybars), but I've never worked on a bike.

Thanks!
