Thanks All. I did try the changing the login settings and everything but for some reason it just would not work.

Hi have recently changed form TOT to 3bb.

The router i had with TOT was a Billion BiPac 5200G RD Wireless router with 4 port.

I had PS3 , True Vision , PC and a Media streamer hard wired to it. I hate pulling cables and changing them.

The 3bb gave me a single port wireless router.

Question is can i use the billion to connect to 3bb or is it somehow locked.

Like to think that im not a total noob but there seems to eb something a miss. I tried entering my 3bb details in the router setup but wouldnt work.

Also tried contacting Billion support with no answer.

Any help or info greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Ah, okay. It's looks similar to the (tyga?) ones people put on their old 400s.

What company makes it?

I'm not sure of the company's name but they are hand made here in Thailand

Its sold by AmRacing i know as had the misfortune to buy 1. Looks great but the standard of work is anything but. Would suggest if you are going to get then inspect the piece before paying. Also fitting it was a nightmare as the number plate bracket and everything was badly made as well, doesn't sit flush with fairing. Couldn't do this with mine as had to have it posted to me.

Can add me as i havent worked out how to add people on Battlenet. Probably due to not playing games on there but have played a few mmporg and also diablo and diablo 2

Interested to see how server going to work and be good to have someone else online at same time.

Most of the Dive Shops will be able to order Perscription lenses for masks. There are a couple of makes that you can get them for. Saeko Dive and Mares being the two that i know. Saeko dive runner mask is the main one (i know) and can be fitted with posotive and negative lenses.

Price is also more expensive for the posotive lenses.

I know they definetly available in phuket.

Hope this is of some help.

Hi all just had some friends go to Penang from Phuket to renew Non Im B Visa.

They had all relevant paperwork as far as they new. They were taken straight to Hotel and had there paperwork checked by some guy at the hotel. (Never even Went to Embassy)

They were told that as a couple with there own Company that the company Value needed to be 8million Baht as theres was only 4 they could only apply and receive a 3 month visa.

There were other customers there that tried for a year visa with the same paperwork and still only received a 3 month Visa.

Anyone Advise on this as i am due to go to Penang this week to get my 1 Year Non Im B visa.

Will i have the smae problem?

Is this correct about the Company Value ?

I have already had 1 year Non Im B visa issued from the UK.

Any help and Advice Appreciated.

I thought you couldn't bump start fuel injection motorcycles.

Any way, the battery is now being charged up at the local garage.

If its got a Clutch it will bump Start.

Left my bike for 2 weeks over the New Year. Nov 2010 model, fuel injection, 22000km.

It won't start. Surely the battery can't be shot after just one year. I will have to work on this today. No bump start. No choke.

You can bump start it no problem with 2 people. Had to do mine other day. Same sort of problem think it was more to do with fuel as it turned over fine just wouldnt fire. But it bump ok.

HI all,

i want to change the Exhaust system of my 2011 CBR 150,and want to spend only 7000 around,what you will suggest to me?Thanks

Theres quite a few places around where you can get good systems. Have a few sites if you drop me a pm.

Guys im looking for a New Chain for my 2011 CBR 150i. Anyone tell me what size chain i need(how many Links) and whats the difference between X Link and O Link chains.

Any info is appreciated.

Thanks

Size is 428, you'll need to cut the chain down when you buy it. The stock chain is a non masterlink type, you'll have to remove the swingarm to get it off.

If your getting a new one with a masterlink, just cut the old one off by grinding it. Why would you need a new chain for a 2011 bike? You can just tighten it if its loose.

If you want to sell your rear sprocket let me know please.

Reason i was after changing Chain is because its at full extension on it now. Can't tighten it anymore.

Also just had a look at my chain and there is a masterlink in it. I have had the bike from new so it came like that straight from Honda. So i know i can take links out but was after a better quality chain.

Also whats the difference between X and O Link ?

Thanks

OPEN QUESTION....

The 150 comes with a 30 watt bulb in the main light. While the lighting on the new 150 if vastly improved over the last one, I'm wondering if changing the bulb to a higher wattage will do much good. My Honda mech told me avoid Xenon as they burn too hot and can actually cause more harm than good. When I asked about switching to a 50 or 100 watt halogen, he just smiled and shrugged.

Any comments or suggestions. Well, the obvious one is "go ahead, try it and see what happens", but I'm looking for something a bit more than that. lol

Ive just put a Hi Low Beam HID in my 150. Works great and no problems with heat so far. Easy to install. And i ordered the kit in the UK and had it sent over.

Been running it for about 3 weeks now and no problem.

Also has a switch so i can turn it off if i want during day but at minute safer to keep on over here...

lol

Ok here goes with mine First my 150 and 400 side by side.

Now the 400 with new Paint.

And Finally the R1.

Am looking for a new suspension unit for the CBR400 its a 1989 model. Not having much luck in Phuket all they can seem to offer is 2nd hand Anyone got any contacts or help for me.

Thanks

H4 and H7 at Supercheap at 2.000 baht kit.

What kind of bike and lights?

Ahhh now you asked the ultimate Question lol....got no idea what lights as bike in paint shop atm .....But its a 89 cbr 400 rr

Wheres Supercheap......

Think its Honda H4sssss but will have to go check .

Supercheap is on the Highway north from Phuket town. Huge shopping "center".

Would guess H4 for this bike, dual lights?

hmm been to look at the lights Yes it has Dual light however its not the same type of bulb as in car lights with the three pin connector. The guy at shop bike is at tried selling me Blue light bulbs but thats not what i want....(looked like slide in bulbs ???? but that was on another cbr in shop as he couldnt get mine out ) had wife with me but blow me and try to explain hid to her. The guy finally realised and i think he said he can get me some but could i make the H4 type work in this or better let him see what he can come up with.

Got H4 in my R1 so i guess that would be pretty straightforward, just not sure about the CBR!!!! any ideas

Guys looking at getting some Hid conversions for motorbike. Anyone know of anywhere within thailand to get them. Preferably phuket area ?

Thanks in Advance.

Guys thanks for the Answers. Im located in Phuket so after hospital today its off to Honda to sort it out.

Ian

Had my CBR 150 for 4 months(bought it from new) and unfortunately someone run into the back of me today. So after brief visit to hospital...4 hours wasnt to bad, i now need to get it repaired. I am not paying but my question is where am i best to go.

Original Honda Shop or repair guy.

Will the honda shop be able to fix the paintwork damage to fairing or going to have to do this seperately ? Would really prefer to use Honda as i want the bike fully checked over as well. It took quite a whack as i was stationary at time waiting to turn.

Any info Appreciated.

Thanks Ian

Tell him to not bother bringing a tank. Not necessary, and no one does that. Kind of pointless anyway because if he has a problem it will be from a bad fill, i.e. bad air, which even in Thailand is very very rare. Air fills and tanks are pretty safe here. Tank failures are also incredibly rare.

An aluminum 12 liter tank is about 16 kilos.

To transport a scuba tank, it must be completely emptied and the valve removed.

From approx. 60 dives in Thailand I got 3 times oil in the air and one time the tanks had the sticker: next inspection 1998 and were heavily bleeding everywhere, so that most tanks were down to 130-160 once we arrived on the dive site.

Maybe it was just bad luck, but for sure it is not very very rare.

So get your tanks from a good company.

Definetly Agree there get Tanks from good company. Or alternatively use a company that fills onboard and no problems. All the Dive boats i know leaving Chalong use the self fill on board.

Here is the website for BUPA Health Insurance, a big health insurer here in Thailand. You can compare their rates with others. www.bupa.co.th

Thanks! I'll check them out. If you need to be covered internationally (for travel outside Thailand) do you get that as part of the medical policy or do you need to buy separate travel insurance? Any suggestions on that?

TG

The Option i used was 2 fold diving insurance and also complete medical insurance. For this i used DAN Divers alert Network.

There gold policy offers worldwide 365 day a year coverage. It may be an option.

Ian

I have brought in large sums from the UK with no problems. But i did take the time to fill out all the relevant customs paperwork UK side and Walked through the red door to declare when came into Thailand. Had no problems at either end.

Im sure you will have a similar process from the US.

Ian

Thanks Tony I click the link and get the site no problem, even manage to find picture of rearset for my model 2000. But when click on picture it goes to a random piccy nothing to do with rearsets. My Thai not being great cant seem to find email. Anyone point me in right direction please.

Went to Pantip yesterday and they didn't have the Logitech Speakers. Most people never heard of them. I was told if Pantip doesn't have them, nobody will. Is this true?

Does anyone know where to get the Logitech z680 Speakers? Or the Klipsch Promedia Ultra speakers? I going to contact Logitech I guess. Argh....Came all the way to Bangkok and can't find em. Well, time to get drunk. Thanks for your help.

Ive had the same problem had the logitech speakers in England and they were brilliant. Tried getting them here and blow me not a chance. I managed to find 1 company that said they could order and do as expidited pack but price was extortionate.

I am looking for a decent set of pc speakers avaialble here in Thailand with a digital input for Ps3.

Anyone know of any. They must have the usual pc 3.5mm sockets to plug into my pc as im using sound blaster x-Fi.

Thanks
