Bit of a side issue...

I took my Toyota Sportrider in for a service last week. This time I took English and Thai copies of the user manual which indicate what needs to be done at each service interval. I did this because in the past the service report was in Thai, which I cannot read.

Going thru the list with the staff in the Service department, they mentioned that things that should've have been done on past services had not been done. Just minor things like replace the brake fluid and replace the transmission fluid!

Got them to tick off everything they did on the Thai manual copy so that I could compare it with the English version.

Glad to know that while I look after my car by going to the dealership for servicing, the dealership haven't a clue about what to service except easy things like changing filters

ive heard battery life is poor in LOS due to the excessive heat we have

I'd bet more on the side of cheap construction.
