Hello

 

Thanks a lot for your details. I've been looking at some forums and some said Honda Shops in Thailand (where they sell Honda motorbike) do not sell accessories. Maybe I got the wrong information, may I know where are you staying?

Yep i'm staying somewhere around Pin Klao area.

The honda shop at the corner is even selling YSS shocks, i don't think most of the Honda shops sell this kind of aftermarket parts, but some do.

Check out directly at the Honda shops, the one where i stay sells lots of H2C stuff.

Otherwise for online order try this :

http://www.k-speed.net/product-category/384671/MSX125.html

Basically you order by Line, pay by bank transfer and wait a couple of days, it's not like if you were ordering on amazon, these are small shops.

We can assume that they often split the Honda 300cc engine, it would be impossible to fix the recall of the crankshaft bearing.... Or do I have that wrong... Not sure how many CB300F and CBR300R where sold, but the 300's where pretty popular....

Well they won't do anything for 300s cc in bigwing network because these models are sold in the regular small shops honda network.

But anyway i would be curious to see if they would be able to change a camshaft, i guess they would just try to make you purchase an entire new engine instead of trying to fix it.

I forgot 2 more :

Hey guys,

I was thinking maybe we could make a list of all the accessories / parts and mechanics shops that we know and eventually with the admin's help we can pin in on top of the forum so we don't have the usual questions "where to find xxx" coming back in the forum everyday.

I'm starting with the one i know, when we have some replies i'll try to edit my main post of ask for admin's help if i can't edit anymore.

I also found this website http://bike.megaparts.com/ which seems to have interesting OEM parts at least for honda big bikes, i was able to find some super four parts which is really cool because it's a pain in the ass to found these parts around here.

I haven't found a good Honda mechanic in the normal dealers. Do Honda Big Wing service Honda's that they didn't sell?

Nah, they won't do anything on bikes they didn't sell except oil and fluids change = nothing.

Even if you bought a bike in the bigwing network i would be curious to see their face if you ask them to change a camshaft or some broken valves, when you do so please take a picture and post it here

12K for a leovince full system in Thailand ? Nice, "pretty cheap".

Careful with that air cleaner and power commander, don't waste your engine with crazy RPMs

That should be correct. Hondas general policy in Thailand is that bikes up to the 300 series are sold by any small dealer and bikes from the 500 series and up are sold only at Bigwing branches. This imho is a pretty good strategy.

Yep,

Rebel 500 available on honda bigwing thailand website, priced at 220,000 THB.

http://www.hondabigbike.com/en/hondabigbike-product-rebel.ashx

Seems that the engine was slightly "tuned" compared to the CB500F :

• 2017 Rebel 500 Horsepower – 45 HP @ 8,500 rpm
• 2017 Rebel 500 Torque – 32.9 ft/lb TQ @ 6,000 rpm
   
• 2017 CB500F Max. Power Output    49.6 HP (35kW) @ 8500rpm
• 2017 CB500F Max. Torque    31.7 lb/ft TQ (43Nm) @ 7000rpm

So year, better torque at lower RPM, nice for cruising, but still a crappy engine  

Do not buy a r6 in Thailand, i repeat : Do not buy a r6 !

Too deadly, it's quick, too quick, feels too light = makes you do lots of shit

Just get a Cb650 or m7-07, i know it's not really comparable to the r6 but it's got enough power for Thailand.

Ninja 650 maybe, but i heard it was quite a shitty bike for a 650.

Honestly I haven't spent much at all. The cost of what I have put in it (Including original moto purchase) will not exceed 200K bht however that aside and more importantly I am doing it for the fun of it. I like messing around with things. I considered bigger bikes initially but did not want to plunk out the cash as it not a primary mode of transpo and I wanted to play around on a smaller CC bike. My YZF is now down to probably 350lbs wet versus the 465 wet of the Honda and is narrower in width. It just makes the lil thing fun to ride up in the mountains and even easier in traffic.

 

Don't get me wrong, the 650F is a nice moto (albeit I have always been a Yamaha owner). 

 

Cheers

Aha it's fine i was just playing around !

Just by curiosity if you wana tell, how much does the full system leo vincy cost ? i guess it's somewhere around 20K ?

With all the money you'r gona spend on mods maybe you should have just bought a cb650f straight

After a few days w/o starting does it starts straight when you kick (or after 2-3 shots) ?

Cause if it does, it could be just a worn battery or a worn generator, if that's it, changing the part below should fix it.

You need to check your battery voltage after 3 days w/o starting.

To be honest i have been using 91 in a lot of different scooters before i never noticed a real difference with 95, but anyway i agree for the price, better go for 95 it's not like if it was really more expensive.

So it's not the spark plug, not the battery, not the electric starter because it doesn't goes straight when you kick aswell, hum ...

When it works, how is your IDLE, is it stable ? Do you have gaps in low rpms when you accelerate ?

Do not use redex, it once ruined an engine of mine in the UK.

What is redex ... !?

What a piece of crap, you're telling me there were so confident in their LED tech that they did not even consider to do it replaceable ! Well done Honda.

I have an idea but you're not gona like it

Gary, I am glad you posted this as I have the same problem.   The speedometer bar itself is visible, but not the numbers.   I brought it to Mityon Honda in Pattaya, and was told it needed a NEW SPEEDOMETER assembly.  The "bulbs" are small LED lights on a printed circuit board.  Yes, papa al, an experienced scooter tech might be able to fix, but I think it would require soldering bulbs on a board.   Anyway, I was told I needed a new speedometer.   The cost from Honda:    5,000 baht!!!!    I hope someone has a more reasonable solution.

1) Find and download the honda part manual for your PCX (download for the correct year).

2) Search for the bulb's part number, write it down, go to any Honda shop and ask to buy the bulb, it's gona cost you 10-20 baht max and any honda shop will have the part.

3) Change it yourself

Hi.

The 2 i know are :

U-Turn shop (http://www.u-turnshop.com/)

Furi shop (http://www.furiishop.com/)

Recommend U-turn better, Furi kind of <deleted> up the first time and they used a air gun to tighten the screws, i had to struggle 20 mn to unscrew the rear screw in order to tighten up my chain.

Both have a great choice of brand / models, but if you know exactly what you want give them a call before (or line, they usually answer in EN), cause if they don't have it in stock they're gona have to take it from the supplier and you're gona have to wait like half a day.

Hi.

Last time i renewed mine 1 month late and i had to pass the light test (with the weird helmet) + the psycho-technical test and had to listen to the police officer for 2 hours . It was in Bangkok

I think if you're 1 year late you just have to do everything from scartch.

Well we have only had it 2 years and nothing wrong, we've not had it 10 years yet! But we had a Chevrolet Captiva and literally within about 8 months I think things started to go wrong. At 2 years we needed a new gear box and air con unit! Never ever buy Chevrolet. But the Ford feels solid right now, not a rattle anywhere, maybe there's less parts in a pickup truck.

Shot man that's just SO bad !

Hope it was all covered by the warranty when that happened !

We have a Ford Ranger Wildtrak 3.2 and it's the best vehicle I have ever owned. 2 years now and not a single thing wrong with it, cheap service every 15k also. Before this we had a Captiva and within 9 months this started to go wrong, never ever buying Chevrolet again.

Comon :

How can our standards as customers being so low now ?

You can't say from a car that it's good only because you own it since 2 years without problem !! that's kind of a joke (sorry for poking you...)

A good car is a car you can own for 10 years with no major issue, and i'm saying 10 years but back in the times between the 60s and up to the 90s you could own a car for 20 years and it would start straight every morning as it if was new out of the factory.

We are just too soft now i guess.

What was that, a half spoon feeding !?  but at least it worked

2L for 30km on a click, wow you just broke a world record.

I don't know much about clicks, but were the first generations with carburetors and not injectors ?

Cause if it's a carb ok maybe it was badly tuned by the previous owner + bunch of shit can go wrong in old carbs, but if it's a FI .... !?

My view - if you want a car with that Toyota engine, better to buy a Toyota car. By the time you source a good one, pay to have it installed, go to DLT and change the blue book, try and get the Toyota aircon working in a French car, and all the other minor things you must do with the electrics to get it to run in a car it was not designed for ... you could have bought a good car. Peugeot on its last legs - trash it. Unless you can do the work yourself, have the time and knowledge, - and it helps to have one or two screws loose.

Nooooo, 405's engines never die, can do easily 400-500K if you take care of it, just like a good old corolla, except that 405 are unique around here.

Just saying don't throw it away, give it to me !
