  1. Thank martindavies, there is much better price event if it hard to understand, I send few email, I'm wainting for answer.

    I spend the day in differents shop today and I couldn't find under 50k baht and the one in good condition were all above 60k.

    Is someone know what was the price of a new honda phantom in shop , and when and why did they stop the production ?

    Production of the TA200 was stopped in Thailand on 3 March 2010

    If you can't speak Thai maybe it's best to get a Thai friend to call for you. I rarely get replies from emails I send on that site. I just get my partner to call them for me. Much easier.

    That site is defiantly the best place to search online if you want a good price.

    Good luck with finding one

  2. We live quite close by and its still flooded where my house is. My kitchen was a couple of cm deep, garden and driveway about 10 cm deep. Luckily there is a step up to my living room, dining room and garage but it was very close to coming in.

    Looking at the drains over the past few days the water level has been only 1 or 2 cm below the road level sad.png

  3. Was wondering if anyone could help me out with a bit of advice.

    My good friend from back home would like to come over to Thailand to live, His current job role (offshore) will expire in 1 to 2 years time.

    He has a lot of time on hand to learn a new 'trade' but I'm clueless as to what to suggest.

    I was thinking some kind of website design but there seems to be millions out there already.

    If you had a year or 2 to learn something new that would provide a ok-ish income online what would it be?

    Many thanks for any ideas.

  4. I think that it might be the API ECU that kawa sell, about 8000 baht if I remember correctly. It seems as if the ECU has de-restricted the bike so it can rev out in all gears now. Sounds a lot like the wire cut or clutch mod. I'm trying to see if its worth spending the 8000 for the ECU as well as the free de-restriction. Had you de-restricted prior to the ECU?

    I'm looking to big bore, but to a 300 as I can use genuine kawa parts from the old klx 300. If I do this I will post details here. If I go ahead with that I will also be adding a Juicebox or power commander to modify the fuel map.

    Cheers

    Hi Martin.

    I'm getting the good lady to check with Kawasaki Big Bike shop in Udon Thani, where I bought the bike for the ECU details. They are a good shop and pay attention to detail and are diligent and knowledgeable.

    ECU was changed after the 1000km run in period, so a full analysis of the difference, I can’t give. I did notice however that I have power throughout the rev range, which was all lower down prior to the change, very little above 7,500rpm, enhancing overall performance and flexibility tremendously. According to figures I’ve seen from others, my indicated (GPS shows lower) top speed is a little over 130kmh, so no gains there.

    With the exhaust, I had to put the power tip back in after 2 weeks as it sounded fantastic but was far too noisy and drove me mad. I have a nice exhaust note and with the twin flow air filter the system can breathe fine, with tolerable (and Police friendly)decibel levels now. I’ve not removed the snorkel as I collect enough dust as it is in the filter. I do ride the bike hard, I don’t much care for economic riding, but with 130 km range, the power is up on standard and running richer possibly, but by how much I’ll never know. Starting hot or cold takes a few turns and I also get the exhaust pop on deceleration, part of the bikes charm!

    I’ll keep looking at this forum as am always looking for improvements, but I won’t be boring out pistons to 350cc or such modifications.

  5. Hi Gents.

    I came across this topic and thought some of you may be interested in the mods I've made to my 2011 KLX 250.

    Changes include:

    Hi Windygale,

    A nice setup you have there!

    May I ask which ECU you swapped to and how much of a difference it made?

    Thanks
