thank you for your reply, will check them out.

if one was taking their daily meds, and their doctor said that they are "undetectable".

if they took an "HIV test", would it be negative?

is the vulcan s clutch, cable or hydraulic?

i would go back to the shop and have your friend sit on a similar or larger displacement bike that use a hydraulic clutch and see if he can operate it. if its not a problem, then maybe a hydraulic clutch kit is an easy(ier) solution. (having never used a hydraulic clutch before, one wonders if the pull is more difficult on bikes with more clutch plates (larger cc's) vs smaller displacement bikes)

next option, might be some custom work, making a left foot clutch pedal, with the left hand shifting gears.

Hello,

Can anyone recommend a pharmacy in Bangkok where I can purchase Testroviron Depot 250mg? (picture for reference)

Thank you

countries, not models.

couldnt figure out how to edit.

but they have the exact same engine, I'm surprised you found Nmax pulling better and going faster...! Maybe smaller wheels make a difference or your rental bike Aerox had issue...

not "exactly same engine", they are both 155cc but set up slightly different, mainly due to the nmax being 9kgs heavier then the aerox. the aerox produces 13.8 Nm at 6,250rpm while the nmax produces 14.4 Nm at 6,000rpm; therefore the nmax produces slightly more torque quicker then the aerox. coupled that with the less rolling distance of the tires helps makes the nmax accelerate quicker then the aerox.

those specs were taken from an article found here

Disclosure:

i do understand that i am comparing an aerox from thailand to a nmax from indonesia with specs from the philippines, and it is entirely possible that there are spec differences between these models. in my defense i cant read thai or bahasa, so an article written in english from the philippines based on what appears to be similar/ same vehicles is the closest i can dig up right now.

You realise the 25l area is lower than the 4l tank.

You going to install a pump.?

Easier to use just the 25 liter tank

[if that would be enough capacity for you]

and convert the 4 liter area to storage for tools or sumfin.

you DO NOT need to add a pump, even if the additional fuel is lower then original

with (all) fuel injection vehicles you already have a way to pump fuel into the original tank, you just need to re-route and modify a few things, which can easily reverted back to original stock should the need arise.

with fuel injected vehicles there is a fuel pump located inside the fuel tank which pumps fuel into the system. the pumping action creates negative pressure requiring the tank to suck air in. its possible to use this "sucking" action to draw fuel into your fuel tank via the breather valve; providing the fuel tank breather system doesnt have any air leaks. i have not tried on the aerox/nmax but i have done this to my G650X which has worked flawlessly on 3 trips from vladivostok to amsterdam and all over central asia.

i will (try) to explain what i did to my G650X Challenge, hopefully you can understand how to apply it to the aerox/nmax.

the white hexagon thing in this pic is the breather valve for the G650X found under the seat. removing and opening it up, inside is a small spring loaded breather valve, simply removing the spring and the internal valve slider (and putting it back together) allows it to freely breath.

i cant figure out how to show a single post in another thread. on this page, post #6655 you can see my G650X with a 10L fuel can attached to the side of the skid plate that is plumbed in running "siphon" to the main fuel tank. on the top side of the 10L tank you can see 2 hoses a thicker & thinner running near vertical. the thicker hose is the fuel line running up from the bottom of the 10L tank through a tight fitting hole in the top and then up and back attaching to the breather valve under the seat. the thinner hose is the breather line attached to the top of the 10L tank. on the other end up and under that panel is a one way breather valve.

your additional fuel tank can be darn near anything/ any size as long as the material is (reasonably) fuel safe, just need to have a hose running to the bottom of the container to the modified breather valve and a one way valve for it to breath from. technically it doesnt need a one way valve. the one way valve just stops fuel from running out should you lay your bike or the fuel container over, BUT it does need a way to regulate the negative pressure or the siphon WILL collapse/ flatten your additional container, and potentially stalling out your bike if negative pressure is greater then its ability to pump.

here is some additional reading

heres my 2 cents....

after years of renting wave 125's and click 125's, i finally rented an aerox r for 6 weeks on samui

im 208cm and 110kg

wife is 152cm and 40kg

looks are simply amazing, had the black and yellow, stands out and above every other bike no matter where you park. riding position is taller (and slightly leaning forward) then other bikes makes for good view (and command) while driving in traffic, rear seat is HORRIBLY thin and sparsely padded, wife hated it, front isnt much better few times i would sit on the back wife infront of me while i drove and yes, it sucks. my height is mostly in my legs and for once am able to ride with my legs together like pretty much everyone else but it feels more comfortable to ride with them spread. front brakes are great, does the rear drum even work? at speed its hardly noticable, going slow nothing seems to happen. avoid any situation where you need to use the rear only. unknown if it was only the bike i rented but the front forks are dismal, couldnt decide if it was a lack of oil or really soft springs, the slightest crack on the road and they would painfully bottom out, and the rear suspension wasnt much better, i had to start remembering where (all) the cracks and pot holes were, the aerox handled well through twisty mountains with an ability to accelerate up hill, seemed straight as an arrow when ridding slow through traffic. the extra power was much welcomed getting around slower traffic compared to a click. the click i could easily carry 2 large white water bottles on the flat foot rest, the aerox was similar to the wave, in that i could only carry 1 at a time balancing it between my legs. 2up we easily/ comfortably cruzed along at 80km/h (on the islands). fuel tank was small, seemed like we were always dropping by to buy more fuel, headlights were good at night.

we rented a nmax on bali immediately after the aerox for a week

brakes were day and night better, both the front and the rear actually did something, at speed the rear (only) you could easily shave off speed, front and rear suspension was very good but with a longer wheelbase at times it felt a bit akward, but the seating was noticeably lower and in traffic i had a hell of a time trying to find the center (riding) balance, so much that i never could crawl along in a straight line as i had had on the aerox, it always wanted to flop from one side to the other (may have been from the different riding position), made it down right impossible to ride in kuta's bumper to bumper traffic, headlights were also good. leaving a stop light, i want to say it felt like it had much more get up and go, quickly the bike would get up and over 110km, and comfortably drive along the highways. the sitting position was a nice change on the nmax with my legs forward more like a crusier but that placed more weight on my tailbone and with the shape of the seats made it never feel comfortable for a long drive..

as similar as the bike are, we/ i found them to be day and night different from each other.

yes, i would buy one, as i think/ feel they are worth more/ better then a comparable PCX, even fixing/ modifying/ changing all their short comings

change the suspension front & rear

add a rear disc

change the fuel tank from TDF Motorsport (8.2L for aerox & 12L for nmax)

swapping/ modifying the seat

further down the road, greed might make me think about changing/ modifying the displacement (stock pulleys and weights)

which model?

i really really really liked the aerox for zipping around on the island, slipping through traffic, felt like owning/ driving a rare and exotic supercar

the namx was very good for quick off the line and crusing along the highway

what are the current requirements to extend a normal 30 day visa on arrival?

i have googled, but some pages say for THB 1900 we can only extend for another 7 days, where on other pages it says 30 days, but what i did find was not current.

for all my years of visiting samui, never have i tried to extend a visa on the island.

married couple, canada & philippine passports. we will only (wish) to stay an additional 28'ish days in thailand

thank you.
