Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder.... I'd rather be dragged through the streets of BKK by my hair than put that stuff on my shiny new CB300F... Reminds me of that fat bird's handbag off "My big fat Gypsy Wedding". And don't get me started on aftermarket noisy pipes.

alanrchase Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Suppose I should mention my problem. Do not wish to fuel reliability issues. Started with a rattle when cold, happens when hot now and then. Waiting for mechanic to come from Bangkok to give his opinion. Bit sad, love riding it but want it sorted.

Hopefully it is something simple alan Does it sound like loose parts ( body parts etc ) or something internal like valve-train?

Could go round and round on where the noise is coming from, engine? Loose fitting? I am at a loss. Not angry but would like it sorted. Major or minor problem who knows.

Major or minor problem who knows. any performance drop when rattle occurs? The rattle affects nothing. Do not wish to test performance, 90kmh engine seized? It is what it is. Unhappy? Yes. Fortunately I have other transport. No anger towards Honda, they have been good. My Thai is lacking and dealer is Thai only. We have had a joke or two but now onto AP Honda. See what happens. May plant a seed that if they take it away I will be happy if it returns as a 500F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackpanda Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Okay so first impressions are. The engine make good power The seat is sticky, I have no slide action. But the rear set doesn't feel so good. It moves around a bit and the rubber doesn't seem like it's in place. It's probably going to be the first thing to go. Breaks feel stiff, good but I'm gitch going to have to get used to them. Clutch is a little heavy and I'll have to get used to it. I will have to get used to the mirrors too as they are not mounted on the body any more, on the handle bars. The bike actually makes me feel weak like I'm going to have to go hit the gym some more to be able to man handle the bike like my old CBR 150. I think I just need to get used to it. BTW the gauge cluster is super easy to see there are no wires blocking any part of the display, before I had to look up to see the gas display as the clutch lever was blocking it . I'm happy with it.

Sent from my HTC One using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app nice! i like the mirrors at handlebars, it is better as you can arrange the angle by turning the handlebars and see behind better especially while parked. why not cbr300r panda?
