Sadly, just returned from a less than satisfying visit to our new Kawasaki shop here on Samui.

I have a Versys and wanted to replace the battery so dropped by last Saturday and they said "no problem, will order from Surat, be here on Tuesday". Great thinks I as they said they would call when it arrived.

Tuesday...no call.

Wednesday...no call.

Thursday...no call.

Went back to the shop and was greeted by blank stares but fortunately I had a receipt for my 1000thb deposit for ordering. Great confusion and it turns out they just never ordered it. Got my deposit back and told them how unimpressed I was, really don't think they cared.

Will pop back tomorrow and find out when the owner from Surat will be there next and I will have a word with him about the service.

Crap way to start a new business.

Sadly it seems it's the standard for most service businesses here. Sometimes you'll have great service, sometimes you'll have bad service. I bought a Z250 at Kawasaki and had great service most of the time, except once when an employee was really rude and uninformative, but he wasn't working there 1 week later. Same with Ohm Cycles, sometimes I ordered part and got it really fast, some other times had to call every day and even check directly with K-Speed(their supplier). Are you that orange Versys I saw 2 weeks ago, older gent with Thai lady? I'm the young guy with the mate black Z250.

Nope, mine is black, like my heart.

Only seen a couple of Versys on the island and my wife will never, ever want on the back of that thing, scares the life out of her.

What a shame, she's missing out.

I've been wondering, is the Can for Canada?

Those are fighting words.... eh! ....one Ozzie and bunch of Canucks, what a mix! tongue.pngfacepalm.gif

Going back to the original question....

Do Kawasaki bikes have a totally different battery,? .... seems to me batteries are fairly standard ???? ....

Perhaps ask JJ at the Castrol shop in Maenam, (near Maenam Trading) he's usually got a good supply or source of things, always good service. thumbsup.gif

Yeah, that sounds like the route I will be taking Jimmy, tried to help out the new shop with my business but got jerked around.

We can always take the Aussies at real hockey!
