CobraSnakeNecktie Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 (edited) Searched but did not see this answered in TV I am looking at buying a used Honda Wave S and the only real problem with it is that the Gear Indicator lights are super dim. The bike is maybe 3 or 4 years old Can the indicator lights be replaced? or other measures to make them brighter? I rent another honda wave and it's about the same age but I can actually see the lights well during the daytime. Thanks for any input. bonus question. How much would a 3 year old Honda Wave S with 11K km.(looks like it only has 11K) on the clock in very clean condition be worth in Chiang Mai? I am thinking about paying 13K baht for it.... Reasonable price? Edited June 15, 2010 by CobraSnakeNecktie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverdie Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 What is the rest of the electrical system like, is everything bright, horn sharp & all of that. I was wondering if there was an 'earthing' or wiring problem that was causing those gear selecter lights to be dull. Check the output of the battery & also that the system is recharing at the required levels. If its the battery, they are dead cheap, Regarding price, I wouldnt be too afraid to put 10-15k into a Honda Wave if it was in reasonable condition. They are very popular and virtually bullet proof, so if its reasonable you could quite possibly use it for a couple of years and then sell it on, virtually getting all the money back. Having said that, bikes with dodgy electricals I tend to steer clear of because it can be like a can of worms, on the otherhand it could be quite simple too, wires can rub or connections become loose, its as easy as that.
