2018 Wave: Where to buy replacement body parts?

[davidupatterson]

Hey all, 

 

Just bought a new, 2018 Wave 125 and had a little scuffle in my first week. Two Thai students on a bike pulled out in front of me and I ran right into them. 

 

The bike is fine, but there are a handful of plastic panels on the front left of the bike that are cracked and damaged. Being that the bike is new with less than 500 km on the clock, I'd like to replace them. 

 

I visited a few shops in Hang Dong today without luck. No stock and no offer to order for me.

 

Any thoughts on where I can go in Chiang Mai to get replacement body parts for a black, 2018 Honda Wave 125?

 

Thanks!

 

Dave

You can order from a Honda dealer.

Maybe wait a few weeks in case some more Thai students on bikes pull out in front of you ????

[davidupatterson]

Thanks, all. I'll check out the Honda dealer on Huay Kaew road. 

 

I'm guessing plastic body parts should be relatively inexpensive - anyone have any experience with this?

Nice! Do you have a link for that?

The same thing happened to me. I honked and they still proceeded... I was on a rented Wave.

Went to Nat Motors today and they wanted 1000 baht just to inspect the bike/damaged body, prior to ordering parts. I thought that was a little high....

Ask a motorcycle taxi to take you to his fav shop.

You can also mix and match colours for a different look. Different mudguard? Different side panels? Different handlebar shroud.

 

Depending on what part is scuffed.

I have found the easiest way is if you find a pdf parts list online and write down the parts numbers before you go.  Just hand the list to one of the operators inside.  Very easy and exceptionally cheap!  This is where the bike shops buy their parts.  Once you have the parts can either fit yourself (very easy on a wave) or any somchai side of the road motorbike shop will be able to do for peanuts.

Good thought! 

 

Anyone know where I can find an OEM parts list for the 2018 Honda Wave 125? 

[Damrongsak]

Here's some parts for a 2017 Wave 125i.  Not sure if same as 2018.  http://mototh.com/en/parts/222/Honda+WAVE125i+(2017)

 

Some body parts are on pages 4 & 6.

 

Here's a big 2018 catalog from Boon Sieu Honda in Malaysia.  Might be helpful.  https://www.boonsiewhonda.com.my/part-centre/shared/products/403/WaveW125I(2018).pdf

The 2018 Wave 125 is changed from the 2017 Wave 125.

Yep - that's why I was having trouble finding a list. It's a new body style this year. 

[Damrongsak]

So have a look at the Boon Sieu Honda catalog and see if stuff matches up, it's a start.  Look at the date of the publication.  Sheesh, you can do stuff like this on your own if you are motivated.

Thanks. I didn't know about this catalog and didn't find any results in my Google searches. 

 

This seems to be what I need. I appreciate your help.

The Malaysian model(s) could be different, but it's a start.
