I'm kinda hoping a Kawasaki 300 twin has some similar characteristics? Even if I did get the detuned version.

 

I somehow doubt it....I had an RD350B when I was 17 and two RD350LC's when I was just into my 20's...totally bonkers, but loved them all the same

Took bike to test centre today just down the road from out village handy.

They didn't bother checking frame number & engine number this time.

They put the pipe thing down exhaust, checked headlights high and low,  indicators but not the brakes lights. 

Cost 840 bht, pick up tax disc & CTPL Tomorrow. 

Crazy place Thailand. ????

I couldn't find a better place for my voltmeter, ( got a Chromed one behind the windshield), fag lighter and USB connectors.

 

    In my saddlebags is an LED light with a 3 meter cable extension that allows me to get to any areas of the bike, should something happen.

 

And it's also great to have a light to be visible for the dreamers on the roads.

 

  The thingy is near the battery and I've made a cable that lets me charge the battery through this thingy.

 

It shows about 0.5 volt less than I actually have, but that's normal with Chinese cra_. 

 

I can pump up my tires when needed and do many other things with it. 

 

 

   It wasn't expensive at all, has a fuse and it's is worth gold. No need to take a lot of stuff out to get to the battery, I can charge it with that thingy.

Adjusted my gear lever position today I had changed the gear change to track race which I  prefer, what I didn't do was get the lever in the perfect place but it is now. 

I was a good boy didn't go over 75 mph in 3rd just cruised about locally. ???? ????

Funny yesterday evening after going  for a blast then parking bike up outside my pub restaurant just around the corner from my house to stop and have beer. 

Thai people were saying is your bike new and what is it, what's the cost.

Felt kinda proud of a 27 year old bike. ????????

A beast.

Perseverance pays off.

If reference to me my bike is a classic what made supersport bikes what they are today. 

Thai big bike owners have no clue whatsoever about my bike, never met one yet, only falangie big bike owners I've met have some ideas of motorbike history. .

On the Lifan-X 200; DS.

Battery went flat, so pushed her 1/2 km. towards shop

then was able to bump her to life on the down-cline.

Quoted 1200-baht for new.

The front disk brake has been squeaking

when not engaged; very annoying.

The mech took caliper apart and cleaned/?/fixed.

Topped brake-fluid front & rear.

Checked air filter, okay.

Adjusted chain and lubed it and other points.

Grand total: B1250; 

+ 100 tip .

Good to go.

Yes I saw some online yesterday, after all my best efforts ????

 I still haven't taken the bike out on the main road  as they are doing roadworks and the traffic is worse than normal and can't really  test it locally as someone already called the security to

"have a word about the noise"   !!!!

 

Made a  idle mixture screw adjustment tool ( untried as yet)

as its almost impossible to get a screwdriver  in there.
