Niyom Panich - Poor Service.

[Generalchaos]

Went to Niyom in Chiang Mai today to get a tubeless tyre changed on an MSX, you would have thought a pretty straight forward job.

They changed the tyre no problem, but when they put the rear wheel back on they left about 3 inches of slack on the chain.

Then they decided to realign the gear shifter, nice of them as it was a bit out of skew, however after pulling out of their workshop it was impossible to change gear.

They had bent it so far to the right that it caught on the engine housing!

Got the bike back home and went to tighten the chain back to about 1.5" of free play - The rear axle nut was loose, the two lock nuts that take up the chain slack were locked but were not taking up any slack and had about 1mm of freeplay.

Pretty crap really, they have NO TORQUE wrenches and they do not even know what Loctite Blue Threadlock is, despite Honda specifying it in their service manual.

When I asked them if they used the threadlock they showed me two tubes of liquid metal epoxy!
