Thanks. So the unit comes with a plugin socket and a wire coming out of it with a connector on it and it just goes in between the main turn signal relay which controls all the turn signals on the bike?

It replaces the bike's OEM relay.

comes like this:

the $ 20,- one from another posters link looks like this: or this

The only thing I'm not sure about if installation is different on bikes which have a function which operates all four indicators at the same time ( alarm lights)

For 240 baht I should say give it a try, just test it first before cutting any wires on your bike.

Thanks for correcting me papa.

then he should use this one:

Thanks for all the different suggestions. But I will gladly pay 240 Baht for this if it is just and play solution that fixes all flashers on the bike like the other unit from the states. Do you just need one of these for the whole bike? And what are the connectors like?

If this 240 Baht is not so easy to install, I may order one of those plug and play units from the states for $20 eventually (depending on shipping cost) if I just need only one unit for the whole bike.

I'll give it some more thought. Rather not do a bunch of running around trying different things from electronics stores and splicing a bunch of times just to save about $10 if that's all the savings would really be.

Should be easy to install, just locate your bike's relay, check the connectors, if they are different change those, one relay is enough.

The pic shows relay location on a Honda MSX125, and since Honda uses similair parts on many of there current bikes, It could be plug and play.

I would guess, 800ml

If your bike has a dipstick, it easy to check when filling up, park the bike on a leveled surface and just give the oil some time to settle.

I can't comment on the Honda since I never rode one, but I do own a KLX for 4 years/23k km's and it's been a reliable bike. It's been sold unchanged (apart from color/decals) for a couple of years.

Did various trips in Thailand and took it to Laos, performs well on ( light) trails, front and rear suspension are adjustable. Ohlins Asia offers aftermarket shocks for both the KLX and CRF so if you would want to upgrade the CRF's suspension... they come not cheap though)

The KLX is restricted when bought new ( rev limiter in 3 /4/5/6/ gear) something to do with emmission rules I believe. But a simple wire trick can sort that out.

Plenty of aftermarket stuff around.

You looking at buying new or used?

You can't go wrong with both bikes, but I think I can endorse when other posters saying the KLX might be the best bike for (light) off roading.

Yamaha makes the WR250 which is more a hardcore off road bike ( but more expensive and not for sale in Thailand, at least not official)

Good luck deciding.

First have the hole drilled, then you will know how deep the waterlevel is, then start looking at pumps ( shallowwell/deepwell)

Your list is pretty accurate, ( oil/airfilter/sparkplug/brake pads)

If you had the tyres replaced at 18K they should be OK, just check if there not dried out.

Shock should be okay, you could check if there any leaks, but with 20K I don't expect they are worn out, ( or you must be a very heavy guy)

All the work could be done at any Honda dealer / or bike shop around the corner , just stick around and check while they replace the parts.

Or better: buy the parts and DIY

Good luck

Im talking about the can only not full system

It will never sound like it does on a litre bike.

It's like taking a exhaust off a corvette and putting it on a fortuna and expecting the same sound.

well, there's gimmicks like these:

Just compare:

Nice report! All the best to both of you!

I life several years in Thailand but before deciding to move over here, I had my (then) future wife 2 times for a longer period with me in Holland, which I recommend for anyone having a serious relationship with a Thai lady, not a short holiday but several months in a row, which I found pretty useful in our relationship, she now understands much better how it is back in "farangland" where many things are quite different then in LOS.

Taken from a local farang news website: Buriram times.

Close to 84,000 spectators came to watch Buriram's first ever eni World Superbike Championship race held at Chang International Circuit this weekend.

Official figures put the number at 83,739 across the three days.

For the super GT back in October an estimated 130,000 attended that particular event.

Comparing figures with other race tracks around the world and their own World Superbike attendance it appears that Buriram Thailand still tops the charts.

Figures we could find include, last year in England, at Donnington, only 29,000 came to watch the World Superbike races over the weekend. Bad weather was blamed as a large factor in the low turnout.

At Monterey in Calafornia 49,408 tuned out in 2014 which was in fact 20% up on the year before.

The incredibly famous Silverstone track in England dropped out of the WSBKs after their attendance had fallen from 64,000 in 2011 to 28,000 in 2013. All this despite many British riders taking part in the race meetings.

The first round of this year's eni World Superbike Championship was held at Australia's Phillip Island track in South Melbourne. We could not find attendance figures for that event.

Next month the motorbike championship travels to Aragon in Spain where last year the attendance was 24,255 all weekend.

This means, that from the figures we could find at least, the attendance at Thailand's first ever World Superbike Championship race in Buriram at Chang International Circuit were very high in comparison to other circuits.

This was backed up by other journalists in the CIC press room during the weekend. They said that Saturday's turn out alone in Buriram was comparable to an "entire weekend's attendance" at some other tracks.

How about the speeds these numpties are doing on single lane country roads in Thailand together with oncoming traffic in the opposite traffic lane with no lane dividers?

Some parts of the video the guy it flat out at nearly 230KM.

Looks like dr Joe soon will need a real doctor if he keeps on riding with those speeds on Thai public roads

Is this of any help?

As you might know Korat does have a official Kawasaki dealer, ( MPC bike shop) I bought a KLX there and had it serviced a few times, seems to be a good dealer,with a nice looking workshop, but as the services I had done there were just the basic maintenance, can't comment if they are capable on doing more complex work ( they should, since they are official Kawasaki dealer)

A bit further down the road, in Buriram ( but that's maybe too far for you.) there's a good big bike shop called RK Buriram Superbike service.

For the work you describe MPC bike shop in Korat should be the best choice.

Good luck

The new Chang International Circuit here in Buriram got monthly trackdays which are 2000 baht for a morning/afternoon session.

edit: and 3000 baht for a whole day.

Would love one of these - been a 2 stroke fan my whole life -

King Kenny Roberts said it was the most Evil bike he ever rode

nice vid about King Kenny and this "evil" bike:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k8hJWKIVNs&feature=player_detailpage

On my Short list for a new bike -

CB1100EX.jpg

Ditch the spokes of course

Spokes are cool !!

Nice bike indeed, although I somehow like the original TR1 as well a bike which never became popular, maybe because it's different rear section ( one of the first bikes which had a rear hugger ?)

Another forgotten Yamaha from that era is the XZ 550
