Always wondered what a decent 2 stroke engine would be like in my ksr. Hope it works out, I'd love something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkmbkk Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 I will update when done, It might take a while as I have not put pressure on my friend .who is building it after my instructions. It gets quite some attention when people discover what is going on. It it is actually not overwhelming crazy, as I have seen a guy on youtube who put a 250 ccm dirtbike engine on his MSX. Anyway - I plan to make at least as fun as my drag tuned Nova Dash and my 300 ccm Mio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papa al Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 At the suggestion of my regular mechanic. took ceeber150 in to Mityon Service centre on Pattaya Thai to get valve lash set. [shims] They said leave for 3 hrs and B700 but turned out 4.5 hours B600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idman Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I told my Xmax I was going to be away for a few days but not to worry I would be back. These Xmax scooters are so needy and have to constantly be told you love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These Xmax scooters are so needy and have to constantly be told you love them. That's fine. Just don't do like a guy in the USA earlier this month: " The police department of Newton, Kansas received a call about a naked man lying under a car. Upon arrival, the 24-year-old man wasn’t only naked but was attempting to have sex with the car. According to Lt. Scott Powell of the aforementioned police department, the man “was attempting to stick his penis into the tailpipe of the vehicle.” " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m on day 18 of my adventure ,2 days ago chain snapped at 150 km/r,,,stuck in the middle of nowhere on the roadside for 3 hours ,,,,a friend managed to contact someone who rode 180 km to bring and fix on new chain for me.......got back on the road and within an hour stopped at police checkpoint and fined 400 bht for excessive speed,,,first time in 10 years I have ever been stopped at a checkpoint,,must have had bad karma that day,,,,anyway that was enough adventure for that day and still managed to make it Chiang Mai to south side of Bangkok in a day........journey continues today Kaeng Krachan to maybe chumphon today.

Agusts Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 A lot of rain about in low the season, good luck and keep it under control in the wet. By the way, didn't the chain break cause any undesirable issues at 150km/h - I don't know, slight jamming or impeding of the rare wheel and you could have grown wings and off the bike.... !? (I had a belt broke on a rental scooter once at about 70km/h, but that had no effect fortunately and I stopped safely.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No lucky enough the chain just dropped straight of no damage to anywhere on the bike,,,chain had only been fitted 2,000 km previous but it was a cheap crap chain and was giving me constant hassle kinking and stretching,the guy bought me out a heavy duty o ring chain and it’s been all good for last 1000 km. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canthai55 Posted May 19, 2018 Author Share Posted May 19, 2018 Been there. Bought cheap chains before - never cheap in the long run. Now only the best X Ring I can find in the correct pitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canthai55 Posted May 19, 2018 Author Share Posted May 19, 2018 Picked up a drunken friend one time with my Kawa H1. He was so pissed he managed to jam his heel between the chain and rear sprocket. Tore his cowboy boot all to rat S T. Nice puncture marks. Rear wheel locked up - of course - but I caught it before we went down. Still has those scars to this day. Before the days of O Ring chains, so the old 90W gear oil in a coffee can on the stove lube method. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idman Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 In honor of the Royal Wedding I renamed my Xmax Lord Nelson just for the day. I then placed two Union Jacks on him and proudly rode around the moat. Gee Whiz, I felt so British. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
