  1. Not necessarily. My 2nd-hand scooter still has BKK plates, but 9-yrs Pattaya now.
  2. ...or consider using an agent. Are you buying from individual or dealer.?
  3. If the failure was intermittent or transient, then H2O prob more likely than dirt. Look in the tank w/ a flashlight to see if a blob of water/Etol in solution is separated on bottom of tank. If so have mech remove it. Normally would expect this prob only with a bike that has been stored. Don't worry. ... unless your karma is the prob.
  4. I'm fat. I'm old. I had covid 2x. Delta & omicron. Not bad. Mild & fleeting. Should I rely on natural immunity, or should I now risk the provisional vaccine.?
  5. Big-ass wheelie & escape.
  6. Just do whatever government and big pharma suggest. They never lie have your best interests in mind.
  7. 2012 Yamaha Nouvo SX 10 yrs old now. Staring system has been sluggish and gave up this AM. Had moto-taxi push her to shop. B100 New battery & relay B950. To car wash, B100. Again to shop for oils change [Amsoil by me, B270], & gear oil, old air filter nasty, ∂, drain & replace coolant & front brake fluid. Check drive belt, OK. Lube pivot joints. Set tire pressure. B760. To inspection station for annual tax/insurance/inspection. B681. ~3000baht altogether w/ tips. Good to go, love long time.
  8. 2016 KTM Duke 200. Daisy. Have had this rattle, chain-like , at low R’s. So ordered a new cam-chain tensioner, as online folks seem to have had this prob. B1930.+ local labor. Didn’t help. Bought a new 520 drive-chain and ordered a 14T sprocket from a shop in Chiangmai. Some confusion but eventually the part showed up. B760. My mech installed and said he had the same sprocket, in stock [same as for Honda NSR,] B150. ???? The old sprocket was very worn. All sorted.
  9. Cool bike , good price. 113cc.? A 150cc Raider d/s version would be super-duper.
  10. Unclear from your photos how you can fuel without removing bag(s), rack. Hinged rack.? Digging the overall road-warrior look.
  11. Bought this new for 46.500baht ~8-y/a. Needed Kawasaki brakes, B2700. Reliable af.
  12. Quite the redneck set-up. ???? Another method: Everything in a big duffle lashed tranversely @ pillion. Helps protect bike in crash.
  13. Spark135. Pretty rare & zippy bike. papa has own'd two. [Haiku]
  14. Better to twist some ready-rolls for the road trips ... I guess.
  15. Atta boy.!! .......... Thailand #1.
  16. Maybe try fasting for a few days.
  17. Mitochondria.
