Unfortunatly you ar so right .... even at the "official dealer" at the service check of my bike the only thing done was change the oil and oil-filter, nothing was checked. So I assume they did also never do a "pre-sale check" that they have to do according to the service manual. |

Even if you buy one of the popular motorcycle brands, you always have to check the bolts and nuts after a week riding. For tires, I still need to find a motorcycle or even a car dealer who brings the tires to the right pressure (and please don't trust the pressure gauge at the petrol station...). |

Even some of the big dealers do not always follow the instructions from the manufacturer. To my experience, Thai mechanics often skip replacing the oil-filter even if the service manual specifies it. |

My experience with the Kawasaki Dealer (big bike) in Pattaya is that they only do things that they can sell. |

Even though the pre-delivery checks are so slack here (as is so much of the 'servicing', one good thing is that bike shops don't seem to mind owners overlooking the work that is being done. Or maybe they do, but they usually don't say so! |

Overlooking, is the key, and culture – most Thai's stay to look at work being done – I can remember one of my drivers was really surprise that I just delivered my car to the local BMW dealer and didn't stay until the work was done... He even protested so much that we went back and he stayed and I drove the pickup truck back to the office... |
