Not one part of the engine, not even of the carb was changed. Only the ignition module died four times. And it goes 110 km/h with full compression. ( Of course am I not riding that fast on a bigger bicycle. ) Edited December 8, 2020 by teacherclaire 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found a skipping rope at a 20 baht shop which had sponge covers but then on a trip to BKK I went to the motorcycle parts store on Udom Suk and they didn't dissapoint. Flexible but not porous sponge. After some pantomime Thai, also got a nice red snail-like horn for 95 baht! The hair spray, from 7-Eleven, to ease fitment and to secure the foam covers cost almost as much as the horn! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VocalNeal Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Update. I'll look for a more expensive horn! ???? The tone is OK but it doesn't sound strident enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teacherclaire Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I took my exhaust off and wanted to replace it with some Cobras. When I was trying the gasket I've ordered from another e-bay seller it turned out that they sent me the wrong one. Why do so many idiots offer certain parts for bikes and when you order them, it's something for a different bike? That destroyed my whole evening and my mood. All OEM parts back in and that was more than nasty. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwasaki Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Gonna take the Blade for blast in the aft then get it prepared for strip down to do the yoke bearings. Horrible job but has to be done. Will take the spark plugs out and see how there burning while I'm at it. It says harden TSR steel and the set was $12 about £9. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I have always had in my toolbox in UK as I've had here in Thailand a super duper HT pot of grease. Getting the <deleted> apart is going to be the challenge, I can just feel it. Everything I've been doing on all over this bike over a year now shows there has been some monkey spanner idiot messing with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VocalNeal Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I retained the right side pannier thinking that the extra width would encourage motorists to give me a wider berth if passing . Today in the market whilst weaving between concrete posts the extra width was telling and I destroyed the box and bent the bracket. Oh well will have to make do with the tail box only now. ???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwasaki Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Took bike for test ride after fitting new head yoke street bearing, certainly noticed the different. She gave me a Xmas present though the headlights don't work only a small front central light, everything else OK. So it's a Boxing Day job boxing the wire loom to find breaks. ???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papa al Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Trusty 2012 Yamaha Nouvo SX; owned 7 years. 12Kkm+ Oil 2-3-years old. Oil still looked clean, but treated her to 0.8 liter Amsoil. Seems to run smoother. 5 5 Maybe wash her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
