Bangkok Black

Yes, when it seized, I took it back to the same mechanic. Since then, I see on Lazada you can buy a "kit" with the barrel, piston, rings,clipsand gaskets. These range from 1000 to 3000 baht. Dude also said the water pump was f***ed, and I have seen those on market place for 500 baht. Think I will pay him a visit and double-check his original price.

Mine doesn't have shocks like that.

My NMAX is blown up. It's a 2018 V1 model. It's always had a slight ticking noise, and I have heard many others with the same sound. Recently, the sound got much worse and one day it got so bad I took it to a mechanic, and it was the cam chain tensioner. After that, the noise was gone and back to the original ticking noise. The other day, I was riding on an elevated road headed towards Asok with the Mrs. when there was a really strange noise, and it cut out. Cut a story shorter, the bike ended up back at the mechanic, and it turns out it "nipped up"; he showed me the piston and cylinder. It was just like my old RD350LC and TDR250 2-stroke when they would throw a ring and seize, sometimes damaging the bore. He asked if I had " been in the engine", which I haven't, so then he said someone has done a bad repair before. He says 9.000 to fix. Dunno If i want to really. What's Thai for "bike breakers", "second-hand parts dealers", or something like that? I would imagine people do break up bikes and sell the parts in Thailand?

Anyone here got a 110 Wave? Have you upgraded the suspension? If so, what products did you use? I have a 2018 model, and with me and the Mrs on it, well,l let's just say it struggles 555. I see loads of other bikes with all sorts of rear shocks on but am after a good, proven, more heavy-duty rear shocks with adjustment available. Front forks I am guessing some companies make heavy-duty springs that can be fitted and heavier weight oil.

A friend of mine was using an agent in Pattaya. The agent drove him to several BBL branches and even went to Samut Prakan and Chachoengsao, and all the branches they visited said 4 months. In the end, he went to Central in Pattaya and opened an account with Krungthai and got his retirement visa

And again you cant fix stupid

Update, The saplings are still alive! So far, some seem to be doing better than others, but they are all still going.

There are more Chinese companies in Prachin than you think.

Oh I see, I did wonder lol Still seems f***ing stupid

This came up on the local Facebook groups. 304 Industrial Park is the location, I have been along that road many times, and the road isn't that bad or the bend "that" sharp, well not to a driver who can drive and of course not blind drunk!

I did a quick Google Gemini search. According to Gemini, the saplings will need all the sun they can get and regular watering. So, I planted some out from pots into the soil about 6 feet apart and watered them. Since then (just over a week) it's been raining every other day. Soon, I will go back and check them, but yes, this is an experiment to see if they like the land and grow.

What? if you pull the clutch lever on a motorbike, the engine will go back to idle speed, let the clutch out again, and it will go back to the revs it was at. If you're in 3rd gear, say and you just come off the throttle, then you will get an over run and you will get engine braking. If its a Honda Wave for example,e if you're in 4th gear and you come off the throttle, then the engine will stop accelerating and then the revs will act like an engine brake, so you get an over run. What I see and hear a lot of engines at idle and no over run.

Pulling the clutch in then slowing down means no engine braking and extra wear on the brakes. Seems stupid to me

Something I have noticed, Imagine you see a nice-looking bike; it's got all the bells and whistles, and a nice-looking exhaust. You see it going down the road, and it sounds great accelerating, but when off the throttle, no over-run sound? Another one, A Honda Wave once again with all the bells and whistles and exhaust, sounds great, but again, you hear no overrun? Now, a bike with a clutch lever can be pulled in so no overrun sound, but a Honda Wave? Do some Thais hit a neutral with the gear pedal? Regarding both, why do Thais do this? No overrun and just coast with the clutch in?

no idea,agent did it all
