Some in this thread keeps saying the same stuff over and over and over again.
Yeah I have noticed & the one thing really lacking is the meat of the matter.
The rest is simple...

What would be your thinking as to why you would rush to use synthetic?
Personally I have 5000 kms & still use regular myself
PS: bike looks good in black
-
Dont know how long this will be on You Tube as it is not official MotoGP vid
-
Told you it was similar
But watching the slow mo I say the Marquez crash was way more violent
He is lucky if unhurt
BTW: in 1st pic that is just how I 1st saw it. For some reason his hand stayed on the throttle
even as he went up & over
-
Geez Marquez just got off in FP3 in similar fashion to Lorenzo
Looks ok but limping
Crossed up high side flip very similar to Lorenzo
Wow slow mo looked worse than Lorenzo
as the bike was on his leg for a long slide after flipping

been up the Doi Suthep road a good few times because I love that road and starting to feel more at home on her. Im not yet confident on my cornering but its coming slowly and im not forcing anything.
The only thing id say, and I can hear the judgments already, is Im not into the full face helmets and jackets, boots etc so do not wear them. Yes I am aware what might happen. It just feels like sex with a condom,
Yes Doi Suthep is a fun road but be careful there as it may seem fine with two lanes going up many times you might be cooking a turn if the fast/right lane up to find while exiting the turn a tour bus is in your lane coming at you.
It is quite dangerous overall due to the tour buses & Lor See Dangs
A much better road with just as good turns much a safer longer loop is Samoeng Loop
It is my go-to ride
If you like Doi Suthep You will love it I guarantee

As for the whole riding free thing...hey your an adult & on a scooter I sometimes do short trips in a baseball cap to the store.
But unlike sex without a condom... If you should have a slip on the sport bike...
it will not feel good dragging your pecker across asphalt at 100 kph
Best thing you can do is find gear your comfy with & use it but up2you as they say here
Take Care & glad to hear you enjoying the new bike

Wet Track 200++ kph
You just knew this was going to end badly

The 500km change is excellent. Manufacturers NEVER recommend that, but the first 500 km will produce the dirtiest oil your bike will ever see. So 500km, then again a 1,000. You have it right. Mineral oil until break-in complete. I don't switch to synthetic until 20k, but that's with a bigger bike. Don't know about the PCX. A BMW tech explained to me years ago in the US that "break-in" continues actually continues at a slow pace until at least 20K, and I should wait until then to use fully synthetic. A lot of disagreement and different opinions on this. But for me, I prefer to err on the side of a more complete seating of the rings, but I also keep a bike forever. If you trade it off every 20K-50K, it won't make any difference to you what you do at this point.
Strange what I am reading here as I recently bought a new Mitsibishi Mirage car and it had synthetic oil in it which they recommended to change for new synthetic oil at 1,000 Ks. Not cheap, 3 litres 1,100 Baht and that was for the oil only.
Yes but, The first oil change is like no other oil change.
As it is the one most likely to have rubbish in it from internal parts first real run up
I would expect any new engine to have an oil change by 1000km or sooner even.
The question would be what does Mitsubishi say for distance between oil changes "After" that 1st one & is it inline
with synthetic recommendations for duration between normal changes.

Ouch is right

Again, what he did was a good thing, but it did break some laws. For that, he'll have to pay the price.
I understand but,
I do necessarily agree he broke any laws by doing his patriotic duty
Yes he will pay as all patriots do. I just hope the tyrants also pay.

You get a chance on it yet Garry?

So you think they are really after you? For what?
My guess is that all this huge amount of data is of no interest to big brother. He could access it at some time, but unless you are planning some terrorist activity, you probably are of no consequence or interest to anybody.
Yeah I guess if a peeping tom looks into a few million bathroom windows
they may not all peak his interest.
Does that make his peeping legit?

What Snowden did was a good thing. Some bad practices were exposed. But his travel to China and Russia, 2 countries with some of the worst suppression of individual's rights, is not a good thing.
Would be nice if there were choices of fair places with a backbone but,
As it stands it is not easy to find a country that is not under the thumb of the US
Paid for one way or another with strings attached to "preferential" treatment & grants etc.
Lets face it Snowdens choices were very limited as is anyone's who dare point out
a wrongdoing if a branch of the US govt is the wrongdoer
Especially if one of the multitude of US
secret services are the ones doing the wrongful deeds
Even if he chose a lesser country that agreed with him morally
as a pivot point but that could not defend him he would probably
be a drone statistic by now
Being in Russia & China is his drone safe option.

I was just questioning whether they are selling the bike specific kit here, or just a generic can and you have to figure out how to mount it by yourself. Often, that is the way it is here simply because there are so many combinations and permutations with all the different bikes and accessories out there, nobody can stock it all for such a small population. The motorcycle population alone in the US is probably bigger than the entire Thai population!
Ah got it...
Yes I am not sure as I have not seen one in person yet.
In that video it looked bike specific in that it was boxed. So I imagine they sell them that kit way but again not sure.
Personally what I wanted to see was how that mount ear was attached to the can.
Is it just epoxied in place or riveted etc.

So far Equator canceled today the agreement about import-export duties with the US.
Good on them
Ecuador said Thursday it is renouncing a trade pact up for renewalby the U.S. Congress because it had become a "new instrument of blackmail"
involving the fate of an NSA leaker who has asked for political asylum from the South American country.

“Jorge has suffered an accident at over 200 kilometres an hour and the obvious injury at this point is a broken left clavicle,”
explains Dr. Xavier Mir. “However, as this was a significant accident, we have to take into account that there could also be head,
thoracic or abdominal injuries. For now, we have taken him to hospital in Assen
where CT scans will be carried out in those three areas to rule out any further injuries.

Perhaps get your facts a straight if calling someone out on those facts. We gave Ecuador $ 26,500,000.00 last year and $ 25,1000,000.00 the year before.We have already given them $ 9,700,000.00 through the first few months of this year.
Sensational how you write it out to the cents
26 million is peanuts & nowhere near the billions you tried to imply
9 million this year pfft
Go look at countries the billions were given to countries that do fine on their own.
See who they are

But I do believe the USA should give $$$ to none at all.
Food, meds....sure
But $$$ no, charity begins at home & we are broke

Not looking good for Lorenzo who had the best time in FP1
He went down hard & fast in FP2 wet conditions
Looked like a snap high side.
Not sure what is wrong yet but looks like wrist or collarbone
Bummer & I hope not

yeah mania, they said within a month, i think the price will be 8000 thb for the headers and all. They told me they will give me a 10 percent discount!
But, i might go forward for Leo Vince header and pipes as well for nearly the same price next month too so i am in undecided. Let s see.
He does not have the full set price listed but has this...
The first price in list translates to pipe
CB 500 (X/F/R)
ปลายท่อ = 3,900 + EMS 200
SLIP-ON = 4,990 + EMS 200
FULL SET = Coming Soon

We need to stop countries like Ecuador money. This is a good thing. Now I am really hoping Snowden some how makes it to Ecuador and they let him stay. Alas, we will just problem ending giving them billions more like we did to North Korea. US poloticiians are pusses.
You should check facts & figures instead of using sensationalism.
You may be surprised how little money the US gives Ecuador
Last one I could find was 6 million in 2008
Compare that to the ones in the list of which you will need to scroll way
down to find Ecuador
http://us-foreign-aid.findthedata.org/
Also do not think the US does not enjoy preferential treatment from Ecuador as well
as receive close to 400,000 barrels of oil per day
Yes that may only be 5% of the USA's need but it is not easily replaced.

Just About To Buy A New Honda Cb500F. A Few Questions.
in Motorcycles in Thailand
Posted
Sorry was just curious if you had a reason to switch.
If not popular thinking is let the bike get a good break in before switching to synthetic.
Roughly 2500 kilometers
Many believe while it has higher lubrication ability it also stops the break in process.
Whether or not the process is done with all seating etc.
So if your not in a rush stick with regular & save some $$$ too
PS: here is an older but one of the original sites that explained their view
( which I agree with for the most part )
