CLW Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Come on, don't be shy. You will have instantly a lot of new Thai friends staring at you if they see a foreigner on this bike. Especially if you go long distance. I was already in Sanghklaburi and Chanthaburi with my GTO from BKK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papa al Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) Papa wants one. Really cheap on the Thai web sites. A decent shop can bore and piston in an hour at under USD100. Speedster . Maybe fun at the track? They look cool set up cafe. Edited August 24, 2015 by papa al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLW Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 @Bramds Sounds nice. Which version did you have? I agree with you, it's quite good for touring @Papa al Get yourself one, you won't regret. Once you caught the 2T virus it never get you off again. 555 Anyway I have some minor issues with my bike: - in idle the headlight and turning indicator is very dim. I replaced the battery but still same problem - once you reach 7000 rpm or around 80 kph it gets quite rough from vibrations of the whole bike. Is that normal? I thought of looking for a modified gearbox with a longer 5th gear Gesendet von meinem i-mobile IQ II mit Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought of looking for a modified gearbox with a longer 5th gear I had the same headlight problem, I think it was a general issue, as long as you are on the throttle, the light runs fine I didn't have that kind of vibrations, easy to cruise at 100 km/h or more without any strange vibrations. I had a GTO Speedster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLW Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 Okay, maybe I should go to a shop and check the engine. Are there any particular shops in Bangkok? And how much for a let me say overhaul of the engine? I don't want to get ripped off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramds Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 With these bikes you can go to any motorbike repair shop Overhaul shouldn't be too expensive, not more than a couple of thousand baht. Maybe best to agree on a price before the overhaul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
