  1. I have been waiting for this phone to be released in Thailand and have just been informed that it is available from airport plaza in Chiang Mai with a 2 week wait but at 17,900 baht?

    This phone is available at 280 pounds in uk so why the jump in price to around 360 pounds in Thailand? I wasn't expecting it cheaper but I surely wasn't expecting it to be more expensive.

    I wanted this phone due to it being a direct competitor to the Samsung s3 and Iphone 5 but at a drastically reduced price.

  2. Yes conundrum or more accurately a failing on my part with regards to admin or proper planning etc.

    But yes the inaccurate description of topics on this site is a bit annoying. And the ones like 'emergency, need help now, alarming, shocking' are just borderline idiotic.

  3. Yet to return home to the problem but back in a week and will try the hold both brake levers and kick over for 25 or so times. It really shouldn't be defective as it is only a year old and I am sure both brake levers are working the brake light but I am more than happy to be in the wrong if it means it is an easy fix.

  4. Just before I left to go away for 3 months I tried kick starting my 2011 Yamaha Mio and it failed to start. I have had big bikes for many years and thought the usual routine of put the key to the 'start' position and then crack on would do it but no.

    I have to have the centre stand down so the kick start can actually swing so it can't be the centre stand stopping the starting like some motorbikes stands do. I then thought it could be the fact that you have to hold in one of the brake levers to electrically start the bike so I did this and again no joy.

    After being away 3 months I doubt the electric start will work due to the battery being flat/dead but then with the bike being an automatic I don't think I can jump it.

    What with living out in the sticks I don't have easy access to a street mechanic and am worried I will be stranded when I get back.

    Has anyone previous experience of this or any solutions or fix they can think of? I should have really bought some teeny jump leeds before I left but then I don't fancy peeling back layer after layer of plastic to get to the battery and I have nothing to jump it off.
