bramds Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 ImageUploadedByThaivisa Connect Thailand1369962093.463936.jpg Yesterday I been to collect my green book at big wing pattaya and I saw they wrong about number of cylinders I want ask if anyone in this community had same problem and if you think it could bring me some trouble??? Thank you in advance Looks like it has been corrected already. But only corrected in the typically lazy Thai bureaucratic style. Brand new bike and book should not be altered by hand and stamped. Sent from my i-mobile i-STYLE Q6 I would take it and have them issue you a brand new book, you don't want any issues in the future and anything hand written into a Green Book as a correction would seem questionable. You try to sell the bike in the future you don't want any issues and who is to say the person that did that manual correction will even have that same job years from now and even if they did would remember that they are the ones who hand wrote that into the book... Don't think you will have any issue with this request, have Honda sort it out for you, this is part of the service you paid them for. Same thing happened to me when I changed the colour of my previous bike. Just corrected it by hand. No problems when selling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my GT-N7100 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app I missed it, who is defending their own ass??? So much here to read, so little time ... What is funny here in the bike forum is that half the people that talk sh$t don't even own a bike or own the bike they are talking about much less are willing to prove a point with a head to head match-up. But like you said, it's TV, great place to hide behind the keyboard and talk crap attempting to be knowledgeable and consistently proven wrong....

Hand written corrections in a book for a new bike, no way I would except it and I know I could get them to correct it (oh I have) and I am just some foreigner and not a Thai so I get less service than they do LOL.

Same service but with the mai pen rai attitude that many Thais have they put up with laziness and slack work attitude. Probably because they would do it the same themselves.

That's why I said good luck with that! The part when he wrote that's what we pay honda for "our service" . its no good service to expect from honda!

I have never had an issue with them yet, always very polite and easy going. Maybe the rest of Honda needs to send their staff here for training. It's actually good here especially when compared to Kawasaki across the road. Funny thing is that they are both owned and operated by the same family, would think the standard would be the same but it's definitely not.

Yes I have heard good feedback from big wing dealer at pattaya! And my big wing dealer in bkk even told me that I could go there for service as I was told it will be faster and often no que to wait. What a bunch of muppets just talking like this! If u have the pattaya big wing office nr I would be glad to have it. Might just book a time there for my valve clearance check of 1000km. Mine is abit more than 2000 km now so I dont want to wait to much longer. My dealer gaved me 1month in que and I just missed my time cause of work and the next appointment is in a weeks time.

commande Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) I'll send the number today, just looked at my Green book again, thought I did a good job last time and unbelievably they listed that it's a 2012 bike and not a 2013... Does anything in Thailand get done right the first or second time - it appears not unless you are standing right there ensuring the quality of work... Back to Honda again, not their fault but man this is stupid... I guess they like making new books LOL - this will be the 3rd one...

commande Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) If and I say IF my data is correct as it's been a while in regards to searching for the facts the only vehicle the Thai's have designed in Thailand is the Toyota Fortuner and even that vehicle was closely monitored and assistance provided by the Japanese out of the USA and Japan. Honda 500 Series (this is the fact), Chief designer is Japanese, the Thai engineer your talking about was the Lead Engineer on the ground for production in Thailand, he didn't design anything but you will hear the Thai's try and say that the bike was designed, engineered and produced in Thailand. The later of course is true but not the beginning. The Thai's don't generally design anything, they produce things that other countries design because the labor force is cheap, well it is for now anyway ...

loserlazer Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 i had no issues with the service in Honda Bigwing Bangkok. I always go there without any appointment and always received a good service on time. So, maybe they choose people. Negative people in Thailand always comes last, especially negative farang which talks too much! So xastunts, that is why maybe you will never get a decent service in Honda Bigwing:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wong! Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Cool. What did he say when you told him about the oil issue? I didn't talk to the designer about that. We talked about the actual bike - how I liked it, what I like to see in bikes in general. They also asked my wife's opinion as a pillion passenger. One of the engineers said that my oil was a little high. I told him it was because the oil was a little low when I got it so I topped it up to the max line. He said it's best if the oil is exactly halfway between the max & min lines. The Big Wing tech was happy enough with the higher level when he checked it out a few weeks previously. Apart from making the indicators a bit more wobbly (as they're supposed to be according to them) I'm not sure what they did apart from give the bike a once over. There was a rather cute lady there on her 500 and they seemed to spend hours fettling her bike - I can't think why! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
