OmegaRacer Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 After all the hard work to build it to your liking, you sell it off so quickly?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonman Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) Yep. sick of the police harassment and extortion. they tried it on for Bt.2000 on saturday because the bike is red in the book. Bike is in bit's again and it will be red by the weekend for a run to Baen Saeng. 180k is high but with more than 250k in the bike the price has to start somewhere. If it sells the monies will be going towards a Yamaha Bolt. Edited January 21, 2014 by Spoonman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paz Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) Intermittent problem = electric cause. Old parts develop unreliable internal resistance, coils are especially prone to due to degratation of winding insulation, and more so when hot. Usually undetectable by any bench instrument.Went out and bought a DVM, but can get much of reading on any of the 5 coils I have, can you explain the test and expected readings? Thanks As mentioned above, don't bother trying measuring, these are undectectable faults. The only valid "test" is to try a fresh new coil.

I have tried a secondhand Steed coil, then I got hold of a pair of secondhand NV400 coils and with any combination nothing made much if any difference. Sorry for hijacking this thread somewhat....

It is not always the coil to be faulty. It can also be the ignition box, or the pickup sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSJ Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Red bikes go faster! Whether they sell faster is another issue! It did look good before and probably will again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonman Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 was it not easier to change the colour in the greenbook ? No. Bike needs to go back to the province it is registered in to update the book with a colour change. I work here Monday to Friday from 8.00am to 5.30pm so taking the bike 3 hours away to do this is something I do not have the time to do. Easier to change colour of bike (For me).

denkiblue555 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 ^^ Ahh, thought there must have been a reason. I am in the same boat now (riding around on an old import that is red in the book and black in real life due to a recent colour change), and didn't really think it would be that much of an issue. Good to get real information about what happens in these situations, even though it sucks. Sweet bike and good luck with the sale. Legit SRs are pretty hard to find and this one is worth good money IMHO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSJ Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I see you have the same air compressor as I do! The paint looks good It's a flat red with metallic black stripes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonman Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) I see you have the same air compressor as I do! The paint looks good It's a flat red with metallic black stripes? Nah. flat cause I scrub with a brillo pad between paint coats. I bought the compressor to blows all the crud from my remote control Baja 5B after an outing. Is also good for blowing out crap in the carby and pumping up tyres...for the money it is an awesome compressor though. For paint I just use rattle cans as for the little amount I do I cannot justify a spray gun and the rest of the stuff (Buying paint/thinners etc etc) that goes along with it. I tossed on some clear and chucked it in the BBQ. lots of fluro light make it look bright. This is more how it looks.

Nice paint...I could never get a decent paint job out of a rattle can, always ends up all orange - peely. Maybe just too greedy with the coats I suppose. Looks as good as the black all the same. Talking about compressors though...I'm in the market for a decent quality heavy duty jobbie with +100 litre receiver, anyone any ideas for what to buy and/or where please? cheers Dod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lay on the paint and get it into the (warm) oven and the paint "flows" out smooth. fine line between too much paint (runs) and not enough (dry spots) though and has taken some practice to get a good result. I bought my compressor from Thai Watsadu, they have a decent range from small to large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll be why then...last time I tried it was in a shed in Scotland - after that i just gave up and got my mate to do it. He was ace at paint jobs... I take it Thai Watsadu are down in the city? I'm out in the sticks (Isaan) and there's not a lot of choice up here. I'm trying to set myself up a decent workshop and finding decent kit is proving to be a project in itself...

BSJ Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Thai Watsadu aren't the cheapest place to buy air compressors. If your not in a desperate hurry check around. Sometimes you can find catalogue specials with good discounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RubberSideDown Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I thought mine @ Bt.3800 to be a reasonable price. I got the same one at HomePro for 3500 baht last year- it was a steal and a great thing to have in the house- I might upgrade to a larger-capacity compressor in the future as it's better for running air tools, but that little one is very handy for the reasons you already mentioned (and I'm anal about tire pressure and check and adjust it before every ride;)).
