I am looking for a good mechanic for my XT250x as I think the enigine is not performing 100%.

Anyone knows a good mechanic with experience in this kind of bikes and the tools to do the job?

As I am living at the Eastern Seaboard it would be nice to find one in the area, but otherwise BKK would be OK also.

With good mechanic I do not mean Somchai who drops all parts on the floor of the shop-house and uses a hammer to get the cylinder head of.

And while I am here ..... doen anyone know where to buy a Real Ozzy helmet in size M?

Just was at the Kawasaki shop at Sukhumvit but they only sell L and XL while Real makes them also in XS, S and M (would actually be a good helmet for my wide also).

Hi there,

I can't tell you about a good mechanic on eastern seaboard...but perhaps "Franz" on gt-rider knows one there( he used to live there and rebuilt his bikes while on the eastern seaboard)

About Real Helmets check their website here: http://real-helmets.com/ i too have an real helmet and once ordered a replacement visor through their website, it worked pretty fine ...but don't expect a english reply ...still with a bit of google translate it worked out perfect.

hope that helps,

There was a thread a while ago by Gunga Din all about real helmets in the motorcycle threads which I copied and cleaned up and if you go to members and look him up plus his threads you should find one along these lines from this date.

After I saved and edited the thread it came to 8 pages and is too much to post here.
