decent oil and you shit hot. And let them tick over for a min, get your hat on and rest of your equipment, then ride it gently for a couple of mins....then your sound! 2 strokes are alot better than people make out if looked after right

I change the air filter before every ride, which is done after its been washed ( clean it in filter cleaner and re oil), change the gearbox oil every 2 rides( every 8 hours or there abouts), make sure the chains lubed after washing, and just check tightness of bolts and spokes. Also keep an eye on coolant level, as 2 strokes can get very hot

you can get a chain lube thing that attaches to the bike and lubes the chain as it goes through it, also as said really let it warm up!
