The 300 is improved over the 250 as you would expect from Honda but the only real difference is the price.

I would say 15/45 will be sufficient can't see it needed the next step which is 3 phase. I heard people charge with them sun panel thingys on their roof.

FD have been very handy as my 2 private pensions suppliers won't pay the pensions into a bank abroad. I have one small problem with them and that is them changing my debit card which was Visa to MasterCard and Wise says it's locked. The robot couldn't help ???? so spoke on chat, FD said its Wise not setting up properly, emailed Wise twice no answer, Wise put message on screen you need to talk to your bank, so it's just going around in circles. I sent money to Wise from my 1st account so as of now I have no need of the MasterCard debit card.

Yes Thais do like high pressure ???? . Scoot and Wave tyres i do at home with foot pump. My big bike and truck i do at the PTT garage and check with gauge and their pump is very accurate.

The UK govt directive is you have to renew every 10 years.

Pressure important the rest is in the head and BS. I wouldn't pay out 12,000 baht for tyres on my bike every 2 years that is OCD at its best. Tyres have a life cycle yes but the most important thing is to inspect regulary, protect from sun as much as possible and keep an eye on the pressure job done.

Leaving a vehicle untaxed for road and not having the rolled up certificate you refer to, which is the road tax disc will eventually lead to unregistering the vehicle. Also fines by police. The road tax disc can only be obtained with the green bike book or a photocopy of the green book and certificate of CTPL govt insurance. When the bike becomes 5 years old you need an inspection certification as well. Nearly all places where you get a 5 year old bike inspection of the bike will get the CTPL and road tax disc for you from the local DLT.

When emptying a tank i use WD40 to prevent rust forming internally in the tank.

Hear what you say, doing any maintenance on my Mia Noi is not a problem for me being retired i love it. ????????

Yes as a mechanic sounds to me not using the the bike regularly you should drain the carbs when the bike is not used for long periods. I start up my blade every 2 weeks if i don't ride it no problem.

Puncture on my truck was 100 baht locally, shoot them. ????

I would only disagee with you on carbs over Fi and that's because i can fix my carbs as a mechanic that i use to be and not a "with the want of of better not so nice words" a computer spanner. ????????

The VFR750R (RC30) and the 400 is a blast and an icon as well, like my Blade it has nothing on it that an experienced rider needs it is perfection.

Yeah fair call, when it comes to big bikes it's important not scoots that people are calling big bikes.

I got my new tyres for my CBR900RR in Bangkok they balanced them up only because of the speed the bike is capable of. Cbr250 can balance yourself easy enough no problem.

Fair call, the same gas bottle for us is still 400 and don't remember when it went up but what I'm kinda saying from my point view is over the 2 months usage any increases are negligible. I appreciate for business it can be difficult.

I carry a can which blows up the the tyre and seals any punctures with in reason which can get you home. Or you can buy puncture repair kits but you need strong lungs to blow the tyre up after repairing it.

Look on Utube how to balance motorbike wheels yourself, i can't be bothered to explain. Also little wheels on scooters don't necessarily need balancing when a new tyre is fitted.

More like posters here breathing in Helium. ????

Don't worry about it just sort it out what ever when you get back into Thailand. My DLT didn't make a problem over my bike which was off road untaxed for nearly 7 years. Welcome back.

I don't think OP will find your happy post the fact, the covid period should give him leeway when he goes to his province DLT. The worse that can happen is that he may have to re-register the vehicle it will depend on the DLT. If so it's not a big deal.

They do issue stickers they are yellow and can be used to stick the road disc on the bike with the clear peel off sticky part. I roll my one up and put it in this.

It has nothing to do with insurance the registration of the motorbike bike produces a green book for motorbikes which then makes the owner label to pay a road tax which receited by giving the person with the bike a ROAD DISC to display on the bike annually. If the bike is not updated with this road tax disc for 7 years i believe the time limit is the bike will be unregistered.

I have no idea why some Honda bike shops are so unhelpful. You best ask local people where they go. Years ago i was fortunate enough to find a rare Thai person who was a trained mechanic also had raced Honda bikes and repaired all types of bikes as well as honda. Any bike shop around where we live will change tyres on any fonza is a much the same as any scoot.

I wouldn't renew my passport until 9 months of it running out or before just because of some border force persons comments. The govt sets it a 10 years so 10 years it is IMO.
