Thanks guys that sounds awesome and actually really cheap! Is there other things around there that might be worth seeing as I was trying to make it a day trip...?

Can anyone tell me some details on the hot springs in San Kamphaeng?

Just wanted to know about the whole setup really, what I need to bring, how much is it and for how long etc. Also are the baths private for two people?

lol if only it was broken then my pockets wouldn't be so

gotta agree it is bizarre that Thailand has such little sex shops

Is there somewhere that sells some cliche sort of stuff for the bedroom?

I got a new screen for my acer and it cost 3000bt. The place I went did it in 15 mins but Im sure they are all the same

Thanks guys

Bike for some reason seems to be running better but still has a few hitches. Gonna change the filter and see what happens

Slightly off topic, transam I saw this and thought of you

Tried to tackle it today but looks like I need a special tool for the bolts which means I couldn't check the water level. I am slightly confused though, is the water in a part of the coolant liquid jug, the big plastic thing?

I also noticed today that any speed below 40 the speedometer arrow seems to spaz out and flicker quite violently. To add to the list I stopped the bike after a 20 minute ride averaging 40 at 5.30pm and noticed than my exhaust pipe was smoking, now that cant be right surely, it never so=moked when I use to bomb it o mae sai all day..!!

Sitting on the bike look at the engine to your right. You will see a yellow cap with stuff to stop you undoing it. When cold remove the stuff and take a look, BUT your engine re-builders should have done all that. Check and if low then a water leak is your problem.

Thanks Transam

Just checked it and as soon as I opened it all the coolant came flooding out...????!! The water was full, like spilling over full. I refilled the coolant tank and then took it for a drive. It does seem to still get quite hot very quickly but it is running a little bit better which is weird.

Would changing the filter perhaps make a difference?

I have no idea how to check the water in my click, the reason my bike broke was because I didn't put any new oil in it for 6 months, thats how clueless I am. I do however keep it topped up with coolant. How can I check/top up the water level.

Piston was replaced as were the rings and the gasket, thats it. As far as I can tell and from again a novice point of view there was no engine seize. I say this because the bike still ticked when I tried to start it aswell as it nearly starting when I kick started it.

The color is the same as the oil, just checked

Not 100% sure about the click's exact location, but all other liquid cooled scooters I know, have an "expansion tank" either under the seat or foot pads.

You have to remove some plastic fairings, which is easy and only a "Phillips screwdriver" _should_ be needed.

Then check the coolant level in the tank, and check if the water is clear or if it has some kind of "white creamy consistence".

If yes, Water and Oil have mixed up.

Also check the Oil level, and the consistence. Clear=ok, white and creamy=water is inside engine oil.

PS: If the the oil level was always ok, during your above mentioned "six months period", than this is not the reason, why your engine has broken!

Well, _ if there was no engine seize_, a new piston with rings *could* be enough, but only, if the cylinder bore has no damages from the piston.

right Im gonna get on the case tommorow afternoon and see what I can find regarding the water. Can I ask will removing the plastic panels also enable me to see the oil level...?

thanks man

you should probably be able to see the oil level without removing any panels,look for the black plastic bung on the side of the engine ,twist it anti clockwise when the engine has cooled ,not right after riding and there should be a small dipstick inside marked with a min and max level

hopefuly the oil is between these two markings

ah right thanks I know the one, thats what Id been checking and it was quite dry today, woulld this perhaps explain the jumpiness of the bike, it seems to kind of kick in rather than accelerate/decelerate smoothly...?

cheers guys

thanks for your help guys

I noticed today that the oil stick is pretty dry, not really very wet. They told me they filled it so Im not sure whats happening there

The oil I have established is leaking exactly under the stand, not the one to park the bike but the one that elevates it off the ground.

I understand that 5000bt might be reasonable but even with original parts they were screwing me. I literally went to the honda on suthep road yesterday with the list the kad luang guys gave me originally with what is needed and was told 3000bt with service. The kad luang's was without service aswell.

Regarding water Im not sure but like I say the bike is bloody hot now and would replacing a piston or gasket really cause this?

can anyone suggest what i could do myself? id like to learn how to look after my bike instead of getting ripped everytime

Basically my bike broke last week after a long journey, the red light came on the dashboard and the engine had seized from overheating apparently. At the time I noticed leaking oil.

Anyways I put it into repair with a Honda shop I wish I hadnt and they stripped it apart and tried to do me on parts. I sorted the parts out myself in the end for way under half the price. The piston, gasket and something else Im not sure what was replaced. Unbelievably they wanted 5000bt

Tonight I have noticed that a quick 3 minute drive to 7-11 caused the bike to get quite hot when I felt underneath. Since its been "repaired" I have noticed some oil leaking but thought it might be the wax they put on the bike to make it look new. However by its color it looks more like oil.

The bike if I had to describe it also now feels very jolty on acceleration and slowing down, almost like its waiting for something to kick in, does anyone know what this could be and what I can do?

I have a feeling that the guys that fixed are just waiting for me to return

my god, is this really news?

My honda broke recently, the engine seized as there wasnt enough oil in it and it was overheated. I took it to the Honda specialist-sales shop at the top of kad luang market, just over the small bridge. They said it would take a week and the next morning called me to say it would cost around 5000 baht to be fixed.

I knew this wasnt true so went down there and asked why. When I got there they had completely stripped the bike so I couldnt take it home. I said Ill get parts myself you just fix them.

Constantly for the three days they had it the main guy kept calling up saying they found another problem. Id go check it out everytime, he;d tell me what, give me a price for the part needed, everytime Id get it myself for way more than half and he was quoting copies not originals.

Anyway I got the bike and all in all it cost just under 2000bt for everything. However the bike had never been serviced before so to my surprise when I took it to a family friend who checked it over to see what they'd done, showed me they had taken most of my original parts and replaced them copies. These are parts I was told had no problem

To top it off and Im sure this was on purpose he filled with gasohol 91 which Ive heard is not good for your engine and especially new parts. Oh I forgot to mention the bike now leaks oil too.

I would stay clear of this joker, I got completely done. He messed up my bike now, it runs like <deleted> and feel pretty stupid that all the parts I bought were probably for him and not the bike.

Ive been looking for yellow lemons in Makro as someone said they are quite cheap there. However the one out near Big-C extra doesnt seem to have them, has anyone seen anywhere else that sells them rather than rimping?

Napa and Nava are 2 different places Nava is a language school .

yes thats true, Nava is an "apparent" language school but like I say not too hot

check out the shops on the same road as the new Spice in town, the one that leads to kad luang, forgotten what its called though, there are a few shops that sell all types of tyres and loads of mods etc

Stay clear of Nava school, their weekend classes and their 1on1's for the younger children are not very good at all.

How much do you expect to get for this vast amount of cash?

lol I know just found out how much its worth.

it might get a pizza from the dukes, um well maybe half

Just clearing out my room and have loads of laos kip hiding. Does anyone know where I can change it or is anyone going there soon who may want it for a good rate?

60,000 kip by the way

cheers guys

I found a second hand mac shop today on huay kaew rd and the guy is checking it over tonight and will call me for a quote on how much he'll pay for it tommorow.

The comp is quite old, six years now and well used so anything above 5000 Ill be ok with.

Have to wait and see what he says but if not Ill take it apart and sell individually

My macbook pro is up the swanny but I figured I can still sell the parts, does anyone know where I can?

My board is apparently gone but thats about it. Ive heard I can still sell the parts but have no idea what parts I can sell?

Can anyone help me with this? The machine is 2gb ram maxed out and is about 5-6 years old.
