  1. Rode the 15km loop this AM. Velly nice. Washed bike & drained fuel. Told Mrs Landlord of upcoming USA trip and tried to pay ahead 5-months rent. She wouldn't take any money.
  2. Why.? Seems senseless if sprockets are not worn appreciably. The rear sprocket on my dirt bike is original, 32 yrs old. Still ok. I change front sprocket and chain ever year or so.
  3. Print this yourself and hand to tech. B100 wouldn't hurt.. Or complain online. Up to you.
  4. Right. Excellent DID 520, O-ring chain for my Duke was ~600baht, Lazada, & peanuts for labor to install. I'd expect a re-seal of forks under 1500. While you wait/have lunch. Dealing with any KTM shop is 100% pain in the arz. Would drother be punched in the gut.
  5. Climber: The rear brake has been bad for a while, but was happy with just the front. Alas, today, 5 km. in, papa somehow tipped over in some rocks. Busted the F brake line. Getting back was real exciting on the downhills. The good mech was able to replace the front line, got the welder out and fixed the rear. Also had a prob w/ the L chain adjusting screw. The steel bolt into aluminum swing arm was all corroded & stuck. Needed torch to extract, then, re-tapped, oiled chain & ... good to go. ~1.5+ hrs. P & L = 825baht . B175 tip. Feelin' born again.
  6. 5 5 Thanks for clarifying. FAF. Bravo.
  7. The molecules are bouncing arena real fast.
  8. Starting solenoid dirty & sticking intermittently.
  9. Maybe side-stand is down or kill-switch is actuated.?
  10. Maybe some debris in the spokes.?
  11. My Thai mechanics know 100x more than papa about fixing them thangs. Thx Buddha.
  12. 5 5 & Offered for sale. A 1998 model. Low miles, runs good. no rust, not pretty, heated hand-grips. First $2000.
  13. Rode 15k loop yesty after hiatus 2º knee injury slipped on slick stairs. Trail is in good shape. No pompom. ///// papa heading Colorado later this month. Looking forward to riding the TY350s there.
  14. not true a fig-newton of your imagination
  15. ... have heard that if you have small pp should get bigger bike. not sure if true.
  16. Have. Loaded w/ fresh farmers' daughters; yummy.
  17. I bought one off Lazada for ~B350. Had mech install in ceeber along w/ changing burned-out rear running lamps. The old plug was platinum and prolly would have out-lived papa.
  18. They are all good. Honda easiest/cheapest to service & Wave 125 easiest bike in Thailand to resell.. Rent one for a day.
  19. Wave/Finn are 17" wheels. Honda CB150R for manual clutch.
  20. So you got good inventive advice on how to import it then you don't. Bravo. Bravo.
  21. Hire a shaman to put a curse on the dogs.
