It just occurred to me, after spending 3 years riding motorcycles, and nearly all that time in China, that maybe taking the bike into a mechanic once every two weeks was somewhat effing ridiculous. Just last week I got a new regulator rectifier & a rebuilt shift lever, 2 weeks before that it was a new triple tree. I keep in mind that my bike is a lovingly aged () piece of machinery, however I know for a fact that a similarly aged Japanese car which I owned did not nearly need so much attention.

So what do other owners of Chinese bikes have to say? Are you also just used to taking your bike to a mechanic every couple of weeks? Or are repairs few and far between for you?
