mania

Dont know where you live but I went MSIG due to Kawasaki

claiming they were the best for CM

I paid 9776 THB for full coverage 2013 N250

Which for some reason ( probably more N250 claims ) I think

is more than the 650 full insurance runs...may be wrong

So what's the verdict?

What did you think of Marc's pass on Lorenzo ?

I don't think it is going to happen & if it did I do not think your

family would much enjoy it.

You live on $1800 or 53,469 Baht/month or 1782 Baht/day now

You want to reduce it to $1200 or 35,646 Baht/month or 1188 Baht/day

I mean anything is possible of course but realistically I do not think it is going to

happen with 2 children & you do not own your residence. Sounds easy when folks think of just eating.

But out of that 1188 baht per day you need to divide up your electricity, your rent, food, medical costs,

clothes etc. etc. etc. Thailand is cheaper but it is not that cheap IMHO especially when you have kids.

As others have said use an Excel spread sheet & daily list what you spend.

Make each item in your list have a category number. Food, Utilities,Transportation,medical etc.

At the end of the month sort the data by category & you will see where it goes & where if possible you

can make cuts

Good Luck

I know they guy in the picture now too!

Do you need to remove the cat to install it?

I see the guy who make them was nice enough to chime in on this thread but his post got deleted?

Must be a rule about manufacturers being seen as advertising. Which is silly if they are not the ones to start the thread

but are just answering a question.

But in any case, I did see it & he said the header section is not ready yet as it is being dyno tested

He also said the slip on unlike other systems does fit the full header. That those who bought the slip on now will get the header

for a special low price when available.

That all sounded good

I like this system due to the materials used & the price seems more than fair.

Did you notice Akrapovic just came out with a Anniversary Edition Titanium & carbon slip on for the Honda 1000RR?

Looks like this Alias Corse except they want 45,000 baht.... Insane Price!

Doi Inthanon Yesterday

Thailand is so odd

Fire & Ice

Okay maybe it isn't that easy, appears there are restrictor plates, different CAMS, etc... I stand corrected.... http://ryokuno.com/SUB_CBR600RR/cbr600rr-sei05_fullpower.html

Personally my saying I preferred the 600 was not because of restrictions or not

Having owned both in the US I just prefer the 600rr

& think for Thailand roads it would great.

Marc just had the funniest crash of sorts in FP4

Looked like break dancing

He just kind of came off at full lean but held the bar & the bike spun once

Very weird low side

Looked like No damage to him or the bike

I'd much rather have an unlimited 600RR than a limited literbike.

I am referring to Pattaya Big Wing, I may be wrong but as you walk in look right, still in the crate with the walls removed is either a CBR600RR or CBR1000RR in white with red and blue stickers on it. Most of the rest are 600cc thru 1000cc of various flavor CBR, VFR, NC700, Integra, etc;

The 600rr is not imported to Thailand at least not by Big Wing

Places like Red Baron yes

Would be nice if they did...

When you said you saw several flavors you saw something else...

CBR600RR, sitting at Honda, several flavors ready to purchase.

Thanks Beardog&Commande for this useful information; anyone else who has similar experiences or even(almost scared to ask)can recommend a shop/dealer

for sales or maintenance either BKK or P.)

Honda Big Wing in Pattaya has just about every model Super Sport bike from 600cc to 1000cc in stock sitting on the show room floor

Kawasaki is great, they have been selling big bikes for a long time here, definitely nothing wrong with a Ninja ZX 10R or even a Ninja ZX 6R,

And Kawasaki has Zx6R's???

I have never seen 600rr's at Big Wings or zx6's at Kawasaki Dealers in Thailand

Surprising they have them in your area

More Americans now die of suicide than in road accidents, according to a newly-released US government report.

That is surprising but I was also surprised recently to read that more US soldiers now

die due to suicide rather than combat.

The enemy within: Soldier suicides outpaced combat deaths in 2012

Took delivery last night.

Going to (gradually) remove ugly items on the bike with a mash hammer 555.

Things to do:

1. Change rear sprocket with 2 less teeth as she does have tall gears.

Hope it is a blast.

On the gearing though if it is tall already reducing rear sprocket 2 teeth will make it even taller

Yes this cooler air this morning is very nice

Yes Free Practice was great yesterday & also at a decent hour

They had some great replays of GP class turn one with so many coming in

under hard braking with their rear wheel off the ground.

Yep. That looks like good work. Nice welds too. How much was it mania?

PS:

Here is their FB page

The guy seems nice & was easy to talk with when I asked

a few Q's awhile back

https://www.facebook.com/Aliasnolimits?hc_location=stream

PSS: I see they have You tube clips of the 500 with their

slip on & both with & without the DB killer in

Seems they do not have the full system yet?

But looks like they are coming soon.

Huh. Ok. Got it. That one looks good too. I remember that. But pretty fixed on yoshi now and it needs to be a full system. Hard to decide on pipe man!

Yeah these days I think the manufacturers have the bikes so close already that you just pick what you like

for sound & looks. Because gains all look about the same & not that big.

All seem roughly equal with pipe,filter,ecu upgrade

I did not see the Alias/Corse full system for the Honda but did see this for the N250

Welds look good & titanium should be light & last awhile

Weird weather

This is off of Facebook today at 16:00
Samoeng area. Good amount of Hail

They said they never saw anything like it & it looked like salt it was so plentiful

Mania cbr500 tail is not same as ninja. It is a big part nearly connecting above the shock. I can only cut it but i dont want. The plate holder is adjustable so i can fit it to any tail tidy. And for me looks superb for others i dont care really. Corsa looks so thin for me. I am about to order yoshimura r 77. Sounds the best and looks better than leo vince corsa. Corsa is made in indonesia and welding looks poor. Check the photos. Full system is around 700 usd.

I was just at a shop today & they had like 3 Honda's sitting there so I was looking

at the tail & yes massive. Not something easily modded by the looks of it.

As for the exhaust yes Yosh is nice & has actually made a new one called R-11

Your confused on the Corse I am speaking of is the one I told you about before.

It is not a Leo Vince

It is sold by a Thai company called Alias No Limit

The exhaust is titanium looks well made & I believe is made in Italy

Not sure if they have both full & slip for the Honda I know they do both for the Kawa's

They had some pics of a 500 with one on their FB page

Dont know who the guy is it is from their FB page

I bought one in sports world kaad suan kaew, brand Nike 1000baht and only have 3 models of cotton ones! Ridiculous!

Central airport same same hehe

Boy lots of sports related equipment/clothing is much more here in Thailand than the US.

Import taxes I guess.....

Top floor Airport Plaza, pharmacy right near Robinsons entrance.

Generic Minoxidil about 690 Baht bottle 5% solution, no idea about genuine Regaine

I'm sure there are lots of other places, but that's where I've seen it.

Thanks! What can I say. I works for me.

New to me mind telling some of the benefits.

I have heard about it being a anti hypertensive med but

I think most use it to slow/stop hair loss afaik

Sports World in kad suan kaew

Also in the same mall is Central which has a decent sports department

Then Robinsons at airport mall sport department too.

Dont know about prices though it seems everything has been going up.

But all three have sales if your not in a rush

Thanks mania. There are not many parts around for 500 series so while waiting for proper options, just got them while passing close to k speed. They are not the best but it is cheap fun.

Plate holder looks better and less busy when the plate is on no worries:D and a tail tidy will come eventually!

Not super sure about the flush mounts though.

the tidy tail kits

I did this to mine....Just got a couple flush mount lights & a flasher relay

along with a small plate bracket. The turn signals are very bright & no problem.

Got rid of the large rear fender/plate holder light deal & the large turn signals

PS:

Hey also I have seen a CBR500 with that Corse Titanium exhaust I mentioned to you before.

Looked good

Went to k speed shop at rama 2 road last weekend. Bought k speed protective door knobs - sliders -, front shock adjusters,

Sliders are one of the best first accessory investments to make

Like the fork preload adjusters too.

That rear license plate bracket is pretty massive though.

The manufacture engineered the machine

So basically your saying they engineered this engine with the valves so tight from the factory that after

600 miles they need to be checked & possibly slacked/adjusted?

Hey main thing is your happy & feel it is all biz as usual.......

Perhaps re-read the original post..... it was never about whether or not Honda

was right. Of course if they see this build as needing a valve adjustment at 600 miles then it does.

That was not the problem folks had with it. But most of that Whooshed right over your head.

Fugget about it ...
