Sadly not under warranty

My friend reports disappointing experiences at Honda dealers. Said it seems like they have better things to do when he's gone along in the past for minor tasks. He recommended a little garage which is easy to find as its almost directly under the overpass where Ekamai intersects Petchaburi (perhaps 30 yards West and on the North side of Petchaburi Rd). I went along this afternoon and they worked fast and were friendly. In the 20 mins I was there a few locals came to have their scooters serviced. They can work on motorbikes but seem more kitted out for mopeds. They charged me 440 for oil change (+ new filter) and installation of new front disc brake pads fwiw

I just need some basic maintenance for my Click. I am a beginner so I would like to be able to ask them what needs to be done and basically go with their price. I've not had it looked over in 5,000 km or so so it will def need a few things worked on.

Cheers

Is it still easy to find parts for the old CBR150s in Bangkok (the narrow ones made up until about 2007 I believe, I'm not sure but I think these are referred to as CBR150R?)

I am going to buy a PCX from the used bike market in Bkk. How technical is it to inspect a used scooter? Any good youtube vids or instruction manuals online to equip a relative bike noob to not have his pants pulled down over the price?

Cheers

I have the rental contract for my current address with my name and passport number on it, but no official Proof of Address document from immigration.

Is this i) never ii) unlikely iii) likely iv) guaranteed to work for transferring the green book to my name at the DLT?

edit: its a private sale PCX150 where the owner 's name is in green book and the owner is in person with me fwiw

Thanks for the replies.

A couple of the ones listed on OLX have no green book. For a PCX should this be a deal-breaker for a farang buyer? I've never had to produce it for my Click in 2 years. But I don't really know how problematic this would be on a 150cc PCX say :/

1. The only online resource I am aware of is craigslist, so I expect I have to go around a few shops in sukhumvit myself. Any recommendations?

2. What sort of price for a used PCX125 should I be shooting for for, say, if it has done 1,000km / 3,000km / 8,000km / 15,000km etc?

3. Any other advice or tips greatly appreciated.

Thanks for that all guys

Thanks for the quick responses.

For what it's worth I did extend my 60 day tourist visa by 30 days at immigration. Not sure if that changes anything.

Yes, I have photocopies, police report and letter from immigration. I understand I would require these 3 things if I wish to transfer the old tourist stamps to the new passport. But specifically, do I need to do this if I can just apply for a student visa through the school outright?

I lost my passport in BKK but fortunately, after a nerve-racking wait, the new one has been delivered.

I have photocopies of tourist visa pages in my old passport, but this month I wish to obtain a one year student visa.

Do I need to go to the Immigration Office at Lak Si to get the tourist stamps replaced into my new passport before applying for student visa? Or since I am upgrading my tourist visa to a one year one, can I just go ahead and get the one year visa into my blank new passport?

I am a little worried about going to an airport one day with a student visa but no entry stamps...

Thanks!
