Hope i can make my mind up what i want soon smile.png

I'm still working on it smile.png The Werkes one looks like a Tyga unit like Graham has. Do you want noise, looks, what everyone else has, individual?

You said around 25,000 or less rightthumbsup.gif I guess you don't like the look of the picture I sent you?

Yeah the end can looks like the Tyga Maggot smile.png

I'm sorry i didn't get back to you on the exhaust system you're developing, i'm leaning towards the Arrow or this Werkes can, along with some headers from the previous generation

Not developing, buying from GPR.

Headers to go with it will be formalized end of this week beginning of next. Again bought from existing manufacturer.

Don't laugh...the photos tell the story of my 17 year association with Thailand.

Yes, I am now officially Thai doing this to my pride and joy!

My excuse is safety 1st.

Oh yes I I changed the oil and topped up the coolant while the lads were glueing on the White LEDs :)

Did a swap with Nickymaster yesterday. My brand new Dunlops for his part worn Bridgestone 003s.

Places where lights are ; under main seat, hugger, under front mud guard, under headlight, behind air intakes and behind radiator cowls.

Should have gone for a massage while I was waiting eh?

Next time hehe.

Total cost including 2 litres of oil, a bottle of coolant and both tyres changed round - 2800 baht. WOW! This place is a steal.

Go was also approached by the KTM dealer in Central World to see if he wanted to set up a KTM dealership in Pattaya.

So, you heard it here first - a new KTM dealer coming soon :)

A bit of sediment sad.png

I'd flush that out if i were you mate, it's not going to cause much in the way of damage but i wouldn't want that coating and insulating the outer walls of the cooling tracts :)

Yeah... I was going to say the same as Karlos- not normal to have sediment like that, especially on a brand new bike. While I know the mechanics at Kawasaki Mityon have a rather poor reputation, if I were you I'd insist they flush and refill your system. Ride On! Tony :)

Mine's over it's 6k service now, i was told to come back a week later after taking it to them last Monday with 5997km on the clock. She now has 6400, might have 7000 when i take it in on Wed next week. They said it's their fault for not being available, so will knock the excess KM's off when they jot down the mileage :)

post-52293-0-08924100-1330239434_thumb.jSo I swapped my Dunlops for Bridgestone 003s with Nickymaster and found them to be a bit hard.

I decided to check to tyre pressures after getting them changed round.

To my horror the garage (not BP Racing) had put in 51psi in the front and 47psi in the rear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Needless to say they are now at the correct pressure for me 32 front 35 rear smile.png

WOW, what a difference and I was thinking all sorts to do with tyre compounds and suspension settings 555.

Keep those good times rolling smile.png

over inflation of tyres seriously popular in thailand ,nearly every time i let someone near the tyres theyre inflated to bursting point

i never let them near my wheels anymore at garages

Although the numbers do shock me, the fact that they did it does not. All Thai mechanics (and drivers) overinflate tyres. The harder the better! blink.png

This is Pattaya Kawasaki, is it? They do seem to do a lot of work in the alley between the 2 buildings. It does not appear to be the optimal work area.

A requirement to brake heavily on a less than perfect road surface or pushing it hard into a corner could have seen you skittering on to your side there.

Perhaps you should find a better mechanic? Every mechanic and garage I use asks me what pressure I want.

Most of my friends in Pattaya and Chonburi ride their Kwackers to Bangkok for service because the muppets at Mityon have such a bad reputation... Just sayin' ;)

It was a garage somewhere near BP Racing. I suspect it was the Shell petrol station on Pattaya Tai but I will never know.

Good job I checked eh.

Karlos the video is not as slick as the LV one as it is amateur but...

Or this

Maybe not yourcoffee1.gif

Both of the videos show the OLD 1st generation EX650... Though I believe most full systems will fit all 3 generations. :)
