advisable to bring...it doesnt take that much space and it isnt hard to apply if u have a center stand or if u have a friend to help. and itll help prolong ur chain as well.

i see the act of spraying lube on the chain as not only to lubricate, but the spraying may even help to blow off the dust n sand that could tear the o rings apart.


depends on ur distance and if ur bringing the scottoiler oil. my friends and i are on scottoiler and we still bring chain lube instead of the oil coz the can is just more robust and less likely to leak. well start using the lube once our scottoiler finishes.

U should so it lasts longer...the lube in the rollers is just for the rollers internal itself....external areas n ur sprockets r still susceptible to wear...lube can help reduce wear n make it last longer....

Im on scottoiler and my factory chain is at 56k km n still running strong...sprockets front n rear also still looks good n not sharp

nice! how many made it n how did it go?

wish i could have made it but im rarely free on weekends coz #fatherhood

How old is the cable n how many kms already?

july 2022 got 2 punctures in 1 week coz of this puncture was 1 screw and also some thin dawai which i think was from a tire's belt.

happened on different days but they were just about an inch apart.....

tire was Road 5... which supposedly is pretty prone to punctures.....

eh kejap... if wew go thru BKH, we can stop in changlun to buy the insurance bits n bobs.....but if its this Ban Prakorp place... where do wew stop to buy? also where is the last fuel station before this border?

my friends and i prebook....but we've also met ppl who just ride and land into whatever hotel they find.

oh damn... guess changlun will be the last stop for fuel and insurance before border...

interesting though... may try this border crossing one day

Jump que no longer allowed..have to park n walk in. But there is a special lane for motorcyclists combined with thai nationals lane

I may be wrong but i think ur idp needs bike specific license?

If not mistaken thailand recognizes Malaysian licences right? But if u no appropriate malaysian bike license still kena saman

end of july ur bday? exact date?

ur talking about extension 101 right?

jangan harap hahahahhaahha... asking coz mine on 23rd

yeah 101 is for that if not mistaken... its not that expensive pun... i know allianz is cheaper than lonpac for sure... just did my z900 with allianz in january belas2 je for 7 days...

my versys is with lonpac around 20+ for 5 days :x

Oooohhh.. would love to but gotta stick ard n celebrate with my son n also my gf.

N im riding to phuket on raya haji heh heh heh

forgot this thread exists lol.... so wanna share my ride early sept. 2x versys 1000 and 1x z900.... the z900 dude's butt suffered... but he survived...

Went on a mission to collect all 3 certificates endorsed by the Tourism Authority of Thailand in 1 ride. Rode all the way to Chiang Mai to start our collection process and worked our way south for each cert. Totalling roughly 6.5k km travelled including other spots like the gorgeous Doi Chang which we skipped golden triangle for...totally worth it. Averaging about 7hrs ride a day with the longest being 11 hours. And 1 day rest in Hua Hin on the way back.

1/ Mae Hong Son full loop (4088 curves actually for full loop-theres also a cert for this so we got both 1864 and 4088 certs)

2/ Umphang Death Highway - 1219 curves and this was definitely the hardest route with alot of very tight switchbacks that goes straight into very steep up n downhills. Didnt help that it was raining the entire time. Also, 1 way in, 1 way out. So ull have to go through this road twice!

3/ Betong 100 corners - nice roads with nice views n corners but too many interruptions along the route as there were many settlements along the way as well as traffic.


heres the itinerary, route, hotels and hotel costs (couple of hotels pay at the hotel so its left blank). fuel was about RM1.5k



Notes:
1/ we left on friday after work to help cover some distance in advance n stayed over in alor setar.
2/ we entered via ban prakob border..first time for us. they did not give us the vehicle customs declarations forms. n we forgot about it too
3/ we exited via betong, the customs officer was upset we didnt have our customs forms. said the bikes are in the system but technically did not enter thailand. he said luckily nothing happened to us otherwise it could be a jailable offense. so he let us pass...it would be as if our bikes didnt enter thailand.
4/ somewhere between Hua Hin and Tak (not sure exactly where), we were riding through what looked like massive padi fields. this road is very long n straight. if u are ever on this road, there are a number of cross sections that u will go thru on the road. though it may seem like its your right of way, its NOT. make sure u slow down and stop if u have to. we almost t-boned a car at 120kmh... luckily the car had the foresight to slow, stop n let us pass.... n i saw on the road the line was for us to stop, not the car.

boys... anyone rode their bike onto koh phangan before?

thinking of doing kl - koh phangan - koh samui - kl

which ferry to take from donsak to phangan? and from phangan to samui?

if samui i know can take raja or seatran.

mind sharing some links on where to go etc?

Yes, can only buy from ur insurance provider...tried before to get from a diff provider n cannot. N u have to buy directly from allianz so buy in advance.

But since ur allianz, u can contact ANF insurance (search fb) for all other thai insurances n they can also help buy 101 from allianz for a fee. It will take some time but definitely can be done as i did it before with them. But u still have to buy in advance.

Make sure to specify where u want to collect the documents. They have office in cheras (which i collected from) along with changlun n some other bordering towns.

If ur going thru a border that still requires a white card, they can do for u too...theyre like a 1.stop.shop.for all thailand related insurance... (101+CI+VI+TI)

Their after sales support is also pretty damn good n many.ppl who has had accidents in thailand swear by them...so u get that peace of mind.

Can check their fb for more.info

Remember to buy travel insurance as well for more peace of mind

afaik bikewarrior doesnt cover thailand even with ext 101...

ur gonna have to get ur own tow to the border then only can get bike warrior.

i may be wrong about this but i remember someone telling me last time.

ANF Insurance has towing services for their customers. not sure about non customers.

Damn...how long is the ride on that route?

Doable in a day... But only 1 way right? To balik kl will be another day la..

But at 509km one way...with all the twisties etc...would have been a great route to break in a new bike lol

Yeah i used to looooovee sg koyan as well...was on that road once a month before covid.

After covid mcm semangat died off edi n somemore cameron is insane lately with humans n traffic so potong stim
