Can you tune my carburetor?

Of course you can!
A good carburetor tune can make an engine, while a carburetor that’s mistuned can literally break an engine. A good tune means the engine should start and idle without stalling, and respond instantly. The carburetor will also deliver the optimum air/fuel ratio throughout the engine’s RPM range to achieve peak horsepower and torque.

If an engine is hard to start, barely idles, coughs, bogs, sputters or stumbles every time the throttle opens, gets horrible fuel economy, spews black carbon from the exhaust pipe or never seems to run very well, chances are the carburetor could do with attention.

Does my suspension need servicing?

One of the most neglected parts of a motorcycle is the suspension. While it’s true that the system degrades slowly, regular upkeep is required to prevent faulty suspension. A lot of the factors that contribute to faulty suspension can easily be spotted during a regular bike service. These include:

1. Oil contamination – Just like the motorcycle engine, the suspension has oil to lubricate each component and prevent friction. Without regular servicing, the oil may be contaminated due to metal shavings produced when the spring compresses and rebounds through the fork’s valves. Accumulation of these metal shaving over time can cause the springs to get stuck.
2. Oil viscosity – Viscosity affects the damping performance, which helps restrain the vibration of the spring. Oil viscosity is checked during servicing.
3. Damaged or loose rubber seal rings – Seals that are loose or damaged may also be out of position, which causes them to slide up and down the valve. All of these can affect the movement of the suspension.
4. Damaged bushes – Bushes are Teflon-lined rings that serve as a bearing to the fork stanchions and shocks. It constrains these components in the desired motion. Without regular service, you may fail to see the damage in the bushes.
5. Bearings - Your linkage & swing arm bearing are another crucial component in your suspension particularly in an offroad environment, regularly greasing these bearings will dramatically extend the life of the bearings and your ride quality.
   

We recommend servicing your suspension every 12,000km to 15,000km or 1 to 2 years.

Don't forget your suspension components have much less oil than your engine does and we all know engine oil is recommended to be changed annually.

A bike with a faulty suspension is guaranteed to have poor handling which in turn, causes accidents
