For just a few hundred Baht you can spend a relaxing weekend day in your garage with some friends and you'll end up with a smoother, cleaner running motorcycle that gets more power and more kilometers out of your fuel.
The first problem we see often is the chain and sprockets. Don't laugh, but we had chains which looked like they had never seen lubrication. In fact, after examining your own motorcycle check out some of your friends also – you are likely the one hurt the most if you ride behind him. A worn, dried out and badly-adjusted final drive chain will soak up a heap of engine power. Often lubricate the chain, and a regular, deep-clean with kerosene or chain cleaner will get all that lost engine power back.
