  1. Try MDG Legal. Trendy Building, Soi 13 BKK
  2. I got 2 Nmax 155 and an Areox. These share the same engine but the Nmax have ABS, and the Aerox don't. The Aerox stops just fine without it and the NMAX with the ABS fault. If it didn't cost so much for the part I would change it. I have found 2 vendors via facebook that offer a work around to the ABS system. One has a workshop and seems to specialise in NMAX.
  3. Either fell asleep or on his mobile phone
  4. Update, finally got the translated documents from the agent ☺️ When the wife gets a day off from work it's back to the local office. We have now got and done all that the woman wanted. So, I expect to get the i.d card and yellow book this time.
  5. I will try that, thanks
  6. My NMAX has the ABS light showing. It stops great but the light is on.😐 I took it to the local Yamaha dealer to diagnose and they said it was the ABS pump (hydraulic unit) that's the fault. Damn, I was hoping it was just a wheel sensor.🤥 Looking at the Yamaha parts catalogue the price the dealer gave me ( for just the part mind you without labour charge to fit) is 20.748 baht is correct, As I said it stops fine without the ABS working, it's just the light is always on. They say it can't be turned off. Looking at other bikes on Facebook marketplace place there are lots for sale with the ABS light on 555 so it looks like people get a shock when told how much to fix so put them up for sale. I did find a YouTube video and someone shows a workaround to get the light off by getting a Honda Click wheel sensor and fitting that but I don't fancy doing that. Has anyone else had this trouble? Are any second-hand parts around? or a non-genuine make available? Any suggestions are welcome.
  7. If your in Bangkok I got a contact who can fix that.
  8. In another thread, I said there are sections of the 304 with no lighting and terrible road surfaces. If you don't know where the bad sections are you can get into trouble fast and/or damage your vehicle or worse lose cotrol.
  9. The log truck could have been going to Double A paper mill SiMaha Phot and some are in a terrible state.
  10. I am up and down the 304 regularly from Si Maha Phot to BKK. Some of the 304 is duel cartridge way and some 3 lanes. Its got its good sections with smooth running and good lighting then you come up against sections with no lighting and for about 5km in some sections, you can't use the nearside lane as it's so bad you risk damaging your vehicle or motorbike. If like me you use it regularly you know where to avoid the worst parts. You effectively drive along lane hopping all over the place to miss potholes etc. Then there are sections where there is lighting but its never on, could be faulty or not wired up or the local authorities trying to save a few baht even. So with all that said couple that lot with Thai drivers on their phones, badly maintained busses and trucks, scooters with no lights on, vehicles on the hard shoulder driving the wrong way against the flow of traffic, , u-turns you got a challenge alright 555.
  11. The old site on Wireless Road I remember having to surrender all electronics. The new site is in a shared tower. So you put your bags in the scanner and you can take your phone etc with you. Also as I have said I wasn't backing down and in the end they took cash.
  12. Its more a plot of land with stuff planted all over the place with no thought given rather than a farm 555. Some of the plot is in the sun all day and some getting partial morning shade. As for water supply there is one but its not great. I think a petrol generator or pump needs to be hooked up to a timer and pipped correctly around the fruit trees is the best solution.
  13. I wasn't having none of that. I held my ground and as I said they took cash.
  14. Might as well get that filter changed and a change of coolant. Many don't bother with these. In case you didn't know if you go to Honda Thailand website you can look up your own parts and get the Honda Genuine price. Very handy as you know what the genuine items cost before going to the mechanic near the moo barn 555. I do this and you can do it with Yamaha also.
