Hi,

since I got my second hand Raider about a year ago, there seem to be some problems at the bike, that don't prevent it from working (most of the time), but are annoying for me and they seem to be unfixable by the standard Thai motorbike mechanic. Things like strange sounds at the bike or having  to change the spark plug 5 or 6 times since I got the bike, and I'm not driving a lot with the bike... I would like to get these things fixed, like the thing, whatever it is, that makes the spark plugs break so often, not just change the spark plug and also get rid of these strange sounds. But so far it seems like the mechanics here just make the bike work again and they are not looking for the real problem or they don't even hear the sounds that I hear. Maybe I'm just going crazy and hear things, but I doubt it.
Most of the time I bring my bike to Suzuki shops here in Bangkok. I tried different ones, but all with the same results.

Is there any way to get my bike fixed more thoroughly? Any shop recommendations in Bangkok or Nonthaburi? Or how to make it clear to the mechanics that I not just want to have my bike fixed as fast and cheap as possible, but as good as possible, even if it takes a little bit longer and costs a little bit more?
