My advice would be to get your hands on some service manuals (plural) and read up on your bike. The official Honda manual for your particular model is handy for learning about general maintenance and it has exploded views of how things come apart and go back together. It's good to augment that one with a Clymer manual, which gets into more in-depth descriptions of the bike's systems.
