DrAzTiK Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) Hello, I have some minor things to fix on my bike (RkV200) : change oil, untighten and grease chain, check carburetor. Can you advice me a service big bike shop in Chiang Mai with serious and competent bike mechanics.. Being to the shop where I have purchased my bike, thai mechanics are inexperienced and stupid : - they have changed the oil quickly without putting a new oil filter and they didn't wait more than 2 minutes that all the old oil drop off - they have tighten the chain like hell (very dangerous for the bike and for me). - washed my bike with Hight pressure water at low distance from the bike and without really take care of engine or weak parts of the bike. It 's almost unbelievable O_o. Where can I find a decent shop for repair my bike in Chiang Mai? I wanted to go at Joe's bike team shop but he has moved to another area and he dosen't provide services before 1 or 2 weeks. (maybe more) I am really hungry about these thai mechanics who cannot change oil, wash a bike and lube/fix chain correctly.. What can they do if they are incapable to fix basics...

mascarakatze Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 i just did a google search on your bike. It's less than 200 cc. I would guess any roadside fixit shop could do the simple things you ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that opposite Pipat? Anyway very popular is Pipat Go from SW corner of moat towards airport plaza. Past the oranges on the left (east) side, probably the half way on the straight road, is a long row of shophouses. On the corner of a soi is his shop, I think it it shows some yellow. Thiank just before the soi thay sell push bikes. Excellent English, bit pricey but reliable if a bit popular. Pipat 0816414496 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ticketmaster Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Rather than just bash Thai mechanics as a whole I don't know where YOU have been, but the reputation is fully earned and well deserved. I wonder how many people these incompetent <deleted> kill every year. There is no excuse for it -- especially at the dealers, where one would reasonably expect "factory trained" mechanic and a tool set that had something more that a screwdriver, hammer and pliers. I do my own work, thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

market trader Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Speaking of Harleys there is a new dealership on the middle ring road just past Global house. A new building and quite large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
