It is my understanding that there are certain times of the day when the farmers are allowed to bring their livestock to the fields for grazing- at those times the cows have the right of way, outside those times, the cars have the right of way...
Why else would the farmer that owned the cow just hand me the plate? They knew that they had some responsibility as they handed me the plate and told me to leave...
Your lucky you were not breathalysed.. i really don't like drunk drivers. Its a good thing it wasn't a human you hit. You would be in a world of trouble. Drunk on a bike is a little less bad but still... just get someone to drive you or don't drink.
Yes Thais do it.. don't like it when they do it either. I have never ever in my life drank alcohol and drive a car or motorbike.
You '' could ' be in for a Knight Hood with that statement, Sir Rob.

Can I just say.....WOW
25 years is a long fuc_king time of overstay. Sorry, but there's no excuse like your parents passed away a.s.o.
People like you're making it much harder to live here, working, paying tax and trying to be a good father.
What would you think about Thais who'd overstay their Visa back in the UK, when you'd have to pay taxes for them?
You shouldn't be legal here, even when people accepted you. Why don't you let them know what's up......?:jap:
Unlike a lot of Uk immigrants he isnt bleeding money off the Thai state.............I suspect?
You are correct, but '' we '' are often called racist for saying that.

Didn't l read that those like the OP will be locked up. Think l would just carry on as you are.

I think it is very GOOD LAW. Because firstly you should think about your mummy before you are going to ride without a helmet. I guess that any mother will agree with me.
Most mums don't give a shit, THEY give the keys to the bike and watch them go off to school, helmet-less.

When the kids chuck out of school near me, 4 on a bike, no helmets, it worries me. Why, don't want to pick them up of the road with their heads caved in. Our 15 year old will wear a hat on his bike but as a passenger on another he will not. Why, street cred, and driver wears one just to save paying the BiB, no safety reason.
When the kids are adults and can think for themselves, up to them.
Back in the 60's l never wore a helmet untill the law enforced it
, why, young and invincible. But that's what's so goofy about Thailand- the BiB will often stop adults for riding without a helmet, take a bribe and send them on their way, but when the kids leave school 3 or 4 up on a scoot, none wearing helmets, the copper directing traffic in front of the school does nothing. With the corruption and apathy so deeply ingrained does anyone really imagine this changing? What good are new laws if the police can't be bothered to enforce them? TiT... :jap:
Absolutely, but strangely the other day driving down a lane out in the sticks, a police road block stopping bikes, no hats l think. Perhaps a change in thought.

So im waiting for you to explain how the cracks appeared, dont tell me it was power stress, thats daft!!
And then explain to readers why the box was difficult to remove,,
Twin plate clutches in a drag racer, i seem to remember you telling me theres a lot of difference between a comercial auto trans and a car trans, really? and when you posted anybody have probs with auto trans, no replies, not even boiling brake fluid or warped discs or overheating leaving in drive at the lights ect,
When you can read the lines rather than in-between them, you might learn something,
Perhaps Cocnuts Toyota will start another world record breaking re-call, would i have a Toyota,? No way!!
Mr. ' engineer ', let me explain, just for you.Problems removing a gear box. Suspect, mainshaft splines hooked up, ( resistance) inside the splines of the centre plate, why, perhaps distortion. Removal, access the pressure plate (cover) bolts via the underside of the bell housing, slacken off a few turns at a time, rotating the engine to do so, so equal pressure release. With luck with the application you can remove the bolts totally then the box will fall off taking the cover and plate with it.
Any pressed steel that is cracked up like the photo had a problem, no way a bit of levering of a bell housing would cause dozens of cracks. If the new plate has cured the problem, then the cause was a distorted plate, thats why box removal was a problem.
What on earth has autos and brake fluid got to do with this topic
.As l recall l eventually ignored your advice on stuff cos it was daft. But lets not go there eh.
Just to enlighten you my race twin plate, was in a manual gearbox car.
Think you just got a thing about not liking Toyota's eh.
Lastly, any body (you) advising to put a badly fractured clutch centre plate, or anything that can spin at 5000rpm back into an engine is no motor engineer.
Lastly, lastly, is there anyone else reading this that would re-install, put back in service a badly fractured clutch centre plate, that had been stuck on mainshaft, to save a few bucks.?
-
Yes, i can see very well where the cracks start,,, that is what they do, pull the box back a little, shake it like hell, this cracks the cover, hence they sell you a new plate,,
And I said IF it was MY truck, i would put the plate back in !!!!!!!! up to others what they would do,
The pilot/spigot bearing is in the photo, whats that supposed to mean?? has it been checked for roughness?
Coconuts pics are very clear, all the cush-drive springs are intact, the center drive is clean, if the cush drive relied on the cover plate, surely the cracks would be more open and show signs of chaffing ect?but no signs atall, as Coconut suggested, he wondered if the cracking was caused by the ecessive shaking and the use of crowbars caused the cracks, in my mind, Yes!! All that cover does is cover the levers that operate the cush drive, it wiill be fine without this cover, its there to keep the dust out ect..
If you are having problems reading and understanding technical posts, then just stick to V8 drag racing,
Thankyou..
If your telling me that those dozens of hair line cracks are to do with box removal then the word daft comes to mind.
If the OP's problem has been solved by the simple replacement of this unhappy item/centre plate, then it was obviously the problem ( I hope ). You suggest re-installing the problem if it were your ride. God help us.
As for drag racing, l did have at one time run a twin plate clutch and l KNEW how to look for a problem.

I just sit in my chair.... doing nothing but enjoy like most of us.
Try Bangkok or Chiangmai is my advise

Go to a garage that offers the best deal, after you have hired your preferred ride choice for a day. Some outlets don't want to give a test drive for fear of you crashing it, which is understandable cos on a test drive one always puts the foot to the floor at some time.
Imagine the main purchaser, a Thai flooring it, rather not. -

Coconut, are those pics without cleaning the plate of after? if without cleaning, then the cracks would show some kind of dust on them, by the way, all these plales do is cover the cush drive, and should not be subject to tourque atall, The inner spline transmits torque via levers to the cush drive springs, so i think your suspicions are right, it has been known that quik fit centers in the UK remoce all bolts and just loosen a couple, thus having to shake the gearbox violently and cracking that cover plate,
Like i said before, heel and toe it, if the engine stops in0.5 sec, there is nothing wrong with the clutch, they do this out of your view, but they have to find something to show you and make money.
Do you have the spigot/input shaft bearing with you? if so, you can pry off the seals, clean with diesel or petrol, and inspect the inner surfaces, any pitting atall would point to a noise.
If it were my truck, i would want the friction plate put back in, even with the cracks, looks like another 50,000ks wear left in it..
Cheers, Lickey..
Have a closer look where the cracks emanate ( start ).
The pilot bearing is in the photo.
To advise someone to put that plate back is very bad advise and fool hardy. If those cracks progress and the thing disintegrates, the repair bill will/could be horrendous just for the sake of a few $ for a new ''peace of mind'' plate.

Thought it was the red ones that bite
, well they bite me all the time, but never by the black ones. -
I love Ubon but if I was there as a tourist for 9 days I would take an excursion to southern Laos for 2 or 3 days. Daily international bus from Ubon bus station through the border to Pakse in Laos (2 to 3 hours). Was a bargain at 200 baht a couple of years ago (update and times anyone?). A night in Pakse (walk around, eat French bistro food and drink Beer Lao; visit a Laos disco if you are that way inclined. Baguettes and Laos coffee for breakfast in the morning and then a trip on the Mekong down to Champusak for the ancient Khmer temple (forerunner to Angkor I think). A 3 to 4 day trip would encompass the lovely 4,000 islands in the lower Mekong but that's probably pushing you out of Ubon too long.
If you are exploring the Thai side of Ubon province first you do not need to go back to Ubon - get to the border and walk half a k from the Laos side to the songthaew bus station. Cheap songthaews - get some Kip at the border (laos currency, not an exhortation to rest up), though they probably will take baht.
Agree re parks and Pha Tem. Also get up early and walk around the areas in Ubon with temples 6:30 to 7:30. Poor man's Chiang Mai at that time of day. Dig out the jungle garden coffee bar in Warin Chamrap - nothing like it in Thailand.
[another Ubon hasher]
+1 for Southern Lao - i've just spent a week there. 200 baht bus Ubon to Pakse (+ $35 visa). Pakse is OK for an overnighter but not worth hanging around. Rented a motorbike in Pakse for 7 days ($8 / day) and drove to Champasak (Temples - @2 hours) and then on to Don Det (another 1 1/2 hours). Don Kon / Don Det and all the Si Phan Don (4000 islands) area is a bit special. Hut on the Mekong / Hammock / Beer Lao. Tat Somphamit (Li Phi waterfalls) / Khon Phapheng waterfalls / Dolphins. Just avoid the stoned backpackers and you'll be set. Lao is the real deal. I guess like Thailand 20 years ago - and the people are great. Cheap as chips. But you have to rough it a bit more compared to Thailand.
Out side Ubon city is better - going east i'd take a 2 or 3 days and go to Kong Chiam (theres a big temple there in a cave) also +1 for Pha Taem area and onto Shrintorn Dam (little Pattaya) near Chong Mek and eat big prawns on the lakeside.
If you go North East - Sam Pan Bok is worth checking also.
If you want Thai nightlife in Ubon then goto the Country Club near Big C at the weekend. Lots of Thais listening to Issan music and getting drunk.
An afternoon sitting / drinking on one of the Mun river rafts eating all sorts is worth doing also - like this fellow :
Good post Ontherig. I'll ask you how to get to your Mun river rafts next time I see you in Enjoy.
Be sure to go to the loo before you go there or have your Hepatitis jab.

First ride OK This time hopefully only one post depends on TOT
On the road yes.
Lambretta Li 150 went to a town in the UK called Chinnor.
My first off was on ice on a Lambretta TV 175, l think 1966.

Save your money and simply leave it ticking over for a minute before you switch the motor off if you are thrashing the tits out of it. If driving it normally then it doesn't need this device. if it did it would already be fitted as standard
Agree, sorry to mention it yet again but synthetic oil is additional insurance.

Pip, Transam. For the past 7 weeks, took a chance, and have been traveling only on flat roads, so no real problems or weird noise.
Few days ago had appointment at a Toyota Dealer. A very interesting day.
From 08:30 to about 10:45, they attempted to remove the clutch/transmission. The head mechanic said some bearing had broke, so very difficult to remove. Said this had never happened before and normally takes about 45 minutes.
Watched for about one hour, as three men pushed, pulled, shook and used small to large crowbars in an attempt to remove the clutch/transmission by force. Finally had to walk outside. Truthfully, was concerned a few times that the truck would fall off the four arm vehicle lift. Thought for sure something had to be damaged. Was really worried about the Transmission Input Shaft.
After removal, the Pilot Bearing and the Throwout Bearing looked OK. The flywheel was in good shape, no deep scratches or gouges. The only damaged part was the center flange? area of the Clutch Disk. It was very loose with fine hairline cracks from the center to the outside.
If this was caused by the violent removal of the clutch/transmission or if this was the cause of the noises I was hearing while engaging the clutch on hills and while attempting to go over small hills and ruts/holes off-road, or the cause of the difficulty to remove the clutch/transmission, really have no idea.
Attaching a few photos of the Clutch Disk. Might help to better understand my writing.
The Transmission Input Shaft appears OK and not loose. Just hope there are no problems later. Have driven about 400 Km and everything appears normal.
Can only hope that if anything happens it will be during the three month guarantee period.
Would appreciate your thoughts on what might have caused the damage to the Clutch Disk Center.
Wow, looks like thats your probem all right. Stress fractures, but no sign of excessive heat. Would suggest there has been distortion cos of the fractures and thats why probs removing the box. At least we can see a problem and the new plate solves it. The problem l see is power stress, bit like launching a drag race car and putting excesive load on stuff, but it could just be down to a poor or faulty plate, which l think. Nice it's solved. Keep us up to date if it reappears, which l doubt.
PS.Thanks for the update, might help others in the future.

Kids are worse behaved generally in the West for sure, BUT in LOS children who do wrong are nurtured as though them doing wrong in the parents eyes is it's their fault for producing them, and that goes on into adult hood too.

advice anyone?
Just looked at Apexi comprehensive fitting instructions on the Net. In English (US) so perhaps a problem for a Thai fitter, so looks like a DIY job for you.

Yep - my first car was a Ford Escourt 1300 Mk 1 Mexico - but had many problems with it, so traded it in for a Rover SDI V8 (ex CID Cop Car - still had the siren in it - although disconnected - I reconnected it and bought a new bekll horn which had been removed) - now at 17 1/2 a V8 is real fun! especially when you could flip on the siren lol.
Once set fire to the back wheels in it - new brake shoes were not done properly, but that didn't stop me trying to make Mach 1 - real flames! didn't notice till I got home - got new tyres and brakes out of the garage that fitted them. Oh to be young again
Absolutely, AND, you were lucky to insure that at 17.
Daddy's insurance
Lucky you, but l was the same, way back in eeer, can't remember, had a Zephyr 6 that mum insured, cool.

Do you really think people going on holiday scan the web to see if holiday activities at their dream holiday are legal or not. When they get there, Jet ski, speed boats are all lined up on the beach for tourists fun.
No.
