Just as expected BigWings Chiag mai assurance that my bike will be ready by the end of the week.... not happening....they still did not get that piece of plastic. Thing is they dont even bother to call. I told them I will come on Saturday but call me if something goes wrong, they said yes sure and took a number.

Ehhhh..... sorry guys just getting really pissed off....

Thats the piece they forgot to order, the black one right after white one.

That sucks! If I where you I would keep the bike for use and insisting in that they have to order the new part. And regularly call them and be pushy

Just a word about parts and a plug for a Honda shop in CM. I went to Big Wing CM the other day to get shims for my CB1. With all the shim checks being done on the 500 I figured they would have plenty in every size. No luck. Didn't have any of the sizes I wanted, so I hope any 500s having their 1st service this week don't need those size shims.

Anyway, main point is I went to Sangchai Honda near Prince Royal College. They had every size shim in stock - all 65 different sizes. (Maybe BigWing can order from them)? Efficient service and amazing range of parts, so if you cannot find bits at Big Wing that are Honda generic, try Songchai.

did you get cbr 500 specific shims or were they for the cbr 250 and interchangeable?

I dont think there is such a thing

I think Hondas all use 7.48mm shims except a couple odd models like RC-51 & VTR-1000 they use a larger diameter shim 9.48

380 Euro for 1000km service of a cheap thai made 470cc bike? Unbelievable

Have they been told the brake pads from that single front rotor only last 5k km yet?

Where did you get this info?

A poster on here was saying it.

Guess it's to do with having a single rotor on a 190+kg bike.

Posters on here say a variety of things.

Don't believe everything you read here

Apart for the fact that my brake pads are still ok after 7000 km, I won't be telling porkies.

Kind of a bummer when people buy a lower spec, locally produced bike to avoid all the hassles of waiting for spare parts. I ordered some helibars from Ebay UK for my gsxr on June 25th, they landed on my desk July 2nd and my mechanic fitted them and also changed my oil and filter within 2 hours of turning up (without an appointment) July 6th.

And yet people continue to believe the myth that the official dealers have every spare part for every bike they sell clearly labeled on a shelf in a secret room behind the receptionist...

Expect competence where none has been demonstrated?

I think that having the attitude that everyone is an idiot until they prove otherwise will spare a lot of disappointment...can only go upwards if bar is low enough.

I will give them another week, if its not done I will take the bike back and tell them to order the rest of the parts and eventually I will come to install them. Including those they <deleted>...ng straighten out instead of changing. Lazy bastards.

I call them once every 2 weeks, sometimes once a week. TODAY!!! Shocking.... called in, asked for someone who speaks english, got to a guy who seats at the desk with funky hair cut. He picked up the phone (I know his voice), asked when is the bike going to be ready? Duh.... asked my name obviously understood which bike it was. Let me check he said, I said okay I will wait on the line while you do. Bam hanged up on me. Nobody ever called back (yes they do have my number). Seriously <deleted>? They should close down and be ashamed of this customer service. No wonder they deleted their FB page.

^ The joys of dealing with Thai people.

^ The joys of dealing with Thai people.

I actually deal with many very helpful Thai folks/businesses.

It is just now & then you come across a business that for better or worse take this tack.

These businesses you can see are usually not investing their own money but usually work for absent owners

These are the ones that do not know the meaning of repeat business or care about their reputation.

I would guess a Honda shop like the one the Forum Sponsor Brian here runs is top notch.

That is because there is a family behind it & they take part in the business.

They care about the future of their business

Some of these other big wing "branches" don't appear to have the same stake in the game.

To make it worse Honda has given them a free hand because folks can only buy & service the bigger Honda's there

so they WILL get business they may not deserve.

Not sure how it will turn out.

They said its cuz one part is damages but its bs. As sound comes from front not side of the bike. Have to look into it myself tmr

Try to never mind mate, TIT, it will be sorted at some stage in the future, so don't worry about it too much.

All the best, have a cold one and relax. Best wishes to the little one.

At the shop everyone denied speaking to me.

I learned very early on in my previous career back home, always, absolutely always get and note the name and position of the person you are talking to, and also note the time and date. Do so very politely at the end of any business or professional phone call.

Try giving your daughter some papaya leaf juice. Its making the rounds on facebook that it helps alleviate symptoms.

Of course not, but I drove her and my wife to CM to admit in the hospital. While they were sleeping I went to get the bike.

Thats great sup3r1or. I hope you get both the little one and the bike sorted out soon

[Salapoo]

Was riding with one this morning that had an aftermarket exhaust, sounded great!

Don't know what pipe but it was all silver and looked a bit like the stock Ninja 250 one. Good to see it sounding so good with a pipe and not like the similarly engined Kawa 650 does when it's set to loud.

I am so sorry that I just saw your post.

You simply boil leaves from a papaya tree and drink the boiled water.

How much taller is the windshield and also if you could tell where did you get it and how much? Does it wooble and move around on high speeds or is it rock stable as the stock? Those sliders looks quite rock solid to! How much and where can I get thoose? Cheers!

I found this frame sliders on a online shop called 678 racing on facebook. There is a screen shot of their name snd logo below. In like how this sliders are mounted low. 5500 bath is not cheap though. What you guys think?

I think as you say that is kind of pricey for sliders.

Also yes mounted very low & may not be the best location?

Lastly I like to see the mount area footprint larger. May just be a theory but I tend to think it is better to spread

the load if the bike is to be sliding on it with all its weight on that extended point. It would I think be better

with a larger mount area spreading that load. Also should be using the frame as a mount point too not just engine.

I am guess that pic you showed is using the frame thru the front engine mount?

Again those are just my thoughts on it.

Something like this is more like what I have

This one is for your 500 cbr & runs 2900 baht

Made by Moth racing in Bangkok

Same brand as mine although I know some Honda folks dont like to have the larger plate for aesthetic reasons?

Since I have full fairings you dont see mine. But even if I had a Honda I would not mind this type.

Also you can get different colors
