Hello anyone got a carrera Vulcan 2012 black white and green I'm new to this and was just wondering what to keep an eye on and any upgrades worth doing?

Keep an eye on all of it! Bikes need checking and maintaining.

Ride it for a while then think about upgrades.

Practice on short grass - soft landing ;-). Cover the back brake if you go too far, and experiment with the gearing.

Not going to the NEC myself.

Manuals are far more difficult than wheelies (for us, unaturally talented riders anyway).

As above, just practice on a grassy hill, pointing upwards. Use your pedal force to lift your front wheel and you'll be able to feel the point to balance......falling off the back WILL happen, but just get used to getting your feet down in time. Do it again and again and again, then one day you'll be able to balance and wheelie like a trooper.

The Cycle Show is normally ok - depends what you want to get out of it.

Thanks mate will try and keep u updated I'm not the smallest of men either does that not help?

Hello I have jus brought a carrera Vulcan and twice I took it back with the rear disk rubbing on pads I think and now they say they need bedding in first is this true or is there any other solutions?

Brakes do need to bed in IMO. Ride your bike!

EDIT: you've asked the same question in the tech section. no need to ask twice!
