What bike you riding? Wash piston, carburetor?

[Hydher]

what bike?

 

Generally

 

Flush radiator coolant every 2 years.

Check brake pads.

Change brake fluid every year.

 

Wash carb

 

bigger bikes might have to adjust valves.

[Isopropyl]

to add on:

 

Air filter

service fork if it feel sluggish as it will affect braking

when changing your tires, ask your mechanic to check for you. if it feel rough or not spinning freely, it is time to change.

 

for valve clearance, some mech will try to listen for some ticking sound. not sure how accurate is that:goodluck:

Hi, you mentioned ticking sound. Currently other than the engine/exhaust sound, there's a funny sound like a metal ticking away. Any idea?

i seen it before on those smaller bikes, when the engine off and start to cool down you would hear the "tick" sound. Some mentioned its cause by contraction of metal in the exhaust.

You also need to periodically lube all your moving parts like throttle cable , brake& clutch levers with WD40 or any lubricant.
