2012 Yamaha Nouvo SX 10 yrs old now. Staring system has been sluggish and gave up this AM. Had moto-taxi push her to shop. B100 New battery & relay B950. To car wash, B100. Again to shop for oils change [Amsoil by me, B270], & gear oil, old air filter nasty, ∂, drain & replace coolant & front brake fluid. Check drive belt, OK. Lube pivot joints. Set tire pressure. B760. To inspection station for annual tax/insurance/inspection. B681. ~3000baht altogether w/ tips. Good to go, love long time.

2016 KTM Duke 200. Daisy. Have had this rattle, chain-like , at low R’s. So ordered a new cam-chain tensioner, as online folks seem to have had this prob. B1930.+ local labor. Didn’t help. Bought a new 520 drive-chain and ordered a 14T sprocket from a shop in Chiangmai. Some confusion but eventually the part showed up. B760. My mech installed and said he had the same sprocket, in stock [same as for Honda NSR,] B150. ???? The old sprocket was very worn. All sorted.

Cool bike , good price. 113cc.? A 150cc Raider d/s version would be super-duper.

Unclear from your photos how you can fuel without removing bag(s), rack. Hinged rack.? Digging the overall road-warrior look.

Bought this new for 46.500baht ~8-y/a. Needed Kawasaki brakes, B2700. Reliable af.

Quite the redneck set-up. ???? Another method: Everything in a big duffle lashed tranversely @ pillion. Helps protect bike in crash.

Spark135. Pretty rare & zippy bike. papa has own'd two. [Haiku]

A. They look cool. 2. The price of cool can be high.

Try searching "convert motorcycle rim to tubeless " on YT. ????

Kindly elucidate what you mean by cross-spoke wheel. Maybe the same as on papa's TY350.? One double-length spoke replacing two?
