Hi Chad! The pipe that you showed is not actually an exhaust pipe. That's what we call here a ram air intake. It basically replaces the original air box of the motorcycle. Air goes in unfiltered and unrestricted. LOL! RCB and YSS are also popular brands over here in the Philippines. I actually use them on my motorcycle. I just installed a YSS shock on mine recently. Did you know that RCB was used to be called Racing Boy when they were just starting out. PH riders also love those colored bolts and washers. There are a lot of enthusiasts over here that build their motorcycle based on Thailand specs. We call them Thailook. What I noticed on this video is how the shop is setup like a grocery store. Very rarely do you see that kind of motoshop over here in the PH. Usually all the parts are behind the counter and you ask the sales person if they have the part or maybe point on the part you want on display. There are helmet shops setup like this over here, but motorcycle accessories don't. I agree on getting a quality helmet. It's a must when getting on two wheels. This is a great one take! Love it!
ALWAYS good to take a bike to the shop because you WANT TO. Not so good when you HAVE TO. The prices there are awesome! The braided stainless brake lines are a great upgrade for better brake feel. As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
Fuck yeah! Thailand offers quite an extensive list of upgrades on the cheap. We usually ship in race fairings from Thailand. They're usually 1/3rd of what you find elsewhere. The only issue is that they've near perfect replicas of leading performance parts manufacturers like Akrapovic, Graves Racing, Austin Racing n SC Project. So if you're unlucky n deal with the wrong store, you're gonna get scammed n you can forget about getting them returned or getting refunds.
That trip in the South was a great idea to enjoy your new bike. I went to Pitsanulok the other day and did the same trip to that amazing temple. Thanks for giving me the idea of going there. I need to explore more that area. Now, do you have the ultimate Thai motorcycle accessory? The hook! That hook on the steering column to hang the bags of take away food and groceries. Absolutely indispensable!
Awesome, that temple is unreal! Its like being a DIsney movie LOL yessss I had that hook on my PCX 150 but the XMax has a MASSIVE storage under the seat so its not really needed.
I saw a lady pack her week's groceries inside her motorcycle body recently and was amazed! I just thought it was for the helmet security, but it holds as much as she carried in 2 hands.
@CB1Take yes, the space under the seat of the XMax is huge. The hook is nice because you don't even need to get off the motorcycle when you prepay online and get the shop deliver to you on the roadside
It was a lot safer to drive back then during the situation. Not as many people on the streets. I remember him visiting beaches that were completely empty.
Those trips, that experaince and those videos were only possible during that time of "the situation". Once in a lifetime experaince. I learned that the past few weeks, things are a lot different now, a lot more dangerous. The Thai driving style is taking big risks, passing on blind corners at high rates of speed. This is why Thailand has the highest road deaths per captia in the world. The motorbike tours are still possible, I just don't feel comfortable riding and filming, you need to be watching out for people almost about to kill you rather than trying to film. You need to by hyper focused on riding and your surroundings with zero distractions.
He should have get a real man scooter...just a letter change but it's another world the infamous TMAX...add a turbo and you don't need anymore cars as it is too slow compared!
Bangkok during the situation was weird, like an end of the world movie. But knowing where to go and what was open when it maybe shouldn't have been was brilliant fun. Drop a few Bhatt on drinks and the parties were epic.
CB Media is hooked with moto scooter bikes! Nice!! More of these please... Stuff only becomes really expensive when every hypes it up. Thats what most people do in the US specially the content creators. Just pure nonesense!
Be careful what and where you use those colored (Anodized) bolts and screws. I’ve seen them crack or break off in places that get to much stress especially if they get over tightened. Had a friend use them to tighten his handlebars down and he pulled a wheelie one day and the bars came off in his hands when he came down from the wheelie 😂
Hey Chad, there is a huge motorcycle scene in Rayong about an hour away from Pattaya. Let me know if you ever head this way… I can keep you posted on upcoming events such as dirt bike events and motor bike meet ups.
Brake calipers and rotors front & rear. Ohlins Fork springs. Weighted barends heavy ones will help to adsorb shock & reduce arm fatigue during long rides. Brided brake hoses/lines. And get the original yamaha comfort seat( not cheap but your butt will thank you for them). 😂 Malossi clutch & bell will reduce clutch slippage during long rides. Polini hi speed variator 12 roller(do change the weight of them come in the box rollers, increase the weight of the rollers.) Rode my xmax for 79k km mileage... Good scooter but not the best. Overall it's a GOOD scooter for city roads. Anyways enjoy your sick ride. 0:02
Great bike Chad, I have the same, that shop you were in is just down the road from my home. Been there many times. If you go back there ask them if the worked on a exhaust for a Vrod ..lol they will know me. Keep the videos like this coming
I did not, I just did the trip and wanted to enjoy it and live in the moments instead of trying to capture everything on video. It ended up being a good choice because it was not really an enjoyable trip with all the crazy drivers back on the road post-"situation". Those times doing tours around back then were a once in a lifetime opportunity I think.
Road trip that bad boy without trying to move so quickly you might enjoy it more and those are some of my favorite videos, that and the car trips/ destination meet ups! Keep killing it!
I live in Pattaya and S Racing is also my go-to shop for my motorbike accessories, fluids, and service. For international spec helmets (HJC, Bell, etc.) you might also want to visit Born Biker out near Lake Mabrachan. Enjoy the X-Max!
I'm more of a bike guy than car guy. Cool to see you getting into it. Havn't paid much attention to RUclips in a while but I'll check and and see what's going on with this little scooter situation. ✌️ out bro.
Aimlessly wandering around the mountains/jungle it would definitely be icing on the cake to have shop like this available!! Wish i was able to tour with you!
The shop in the middle of Soi Buakhao is a great place for custom work on bikes. The owner's name is Rudy, if I recall correctly. They have a bunch of bikes they worked on on display.
Thanks for valuing are input chad,I really wish I was able to send my motorcycle there to have it rebuilt, and customized . Here in the USA I gotta do it all my self ,just because of insane shop rates here.
G’day, the Yamaha X-Max is a great scooter, I have been looking at bikes and scooters for sale in Pattaya and I have come down to my choice is a Honda scooter mainly because of Honda dealer network in Thailand because I will be doing some touring, I think I will be buying a Honda ADV350 Adventure scooter it’s not too big, not too small. Thanks I will have a look in that shop as I will some soft luggage bags, googles, gloves and stuff, Cheers Michael
i you shouldn't removed or change the original parts some of shop dealer once they see there's product got maintenanced or fixing your motor they will not providing you you're warranty so you'll end it up to payin all.. i experience that one time when i bought brand new motorbike then i change it up my shock to sports brand and disk brake into brembo so when i purchase a new one i will leave to one before i used the warranty incase of emergency
I feel ya on how riding has changed since the pandy. I got rid of my motorcycle here in CA. Drivers are sofa king distracted and generally don’t gaf about riders. If I get back on 2 wheels it’ll be a track only bike.
UpGrades!!! Yeah, more upgrades please. Wow very nice brake levers. Braided brake line? Obnoxious straight pipe please. Scott’s steering dampener? Corbin seat too! I love it!!!!! CF is Betty good!!!! Black billet pegs for your Thai girl! Carbon Fiber helmets are nice and light. Mesh armor jacket good to save exterior human cover. 😊
VERY COOL MOTO CHAD! VERY COOL RUclips CHANNEL TOO! SUGGEST ADDING HAND GUARDS- CAN SAVE YOU A LOT OF PAIN, SUFFERING AND MONEY IF/WHEN SHIT HAPPENS. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BRO! 🍻...
Kinda a bummer that you choose the RCB E2 Master Pump instead of the RCB S1 (The one with the separate and bottle shaped reservoir, right behind the E2 you showed us) because the E2 won't feel much different than the standard, I have a Xmax too and I'm 100% certain that it won't feel much different, I have tried the S1 (Albeit on different bike) and it feels miles better than the E2. And one thing you need to be careful is that when choosing Brembo branded stuff because counterfeit and bootleg Brembo came from Thailand, mostly. Genuine Brembo stuff is hundreds of dollars, for example the Brembo RCS Master Pump is like $300-$350 and the axial caliper is $200ish, just be careful.
Crazy how cheap it is to upgrade these little bikes, and I forgot the mention all those prices included instal! Is that not crazy? Free instal on all parts bought there
Cool scooter or is a motorbike? 😅 Xmax, will have to google it. It does look very cool! Curious if will again be doing some road tour vids like the old days and how the bike will ride. Oh, traffic..I hear you. Well will wait and see, I enjoyed back when you did some of the road trips. 😊 Thanks Chad
It'd be good to have a garage full of bikes, scooter for around town, adventure bike, dirt bike, tourer, supersport, lightweight naked, cruiser. Maybe the world needs a lightweight offroad supersport tourer.
Don’t know how I feel about the prices of some items, they seem too good personally I’d rather pay to have the original fixings and wheels anodised/painted and a helmet should be atleast $200 surly I know they ain’t name brands but do they atleast have a safety rating

Yes.
I thought he HAD to.
But I'm glad he WANTED to.
Upgrades are happier moments than repairs.
As someone who rides a motorcycle, I would love to see more videos like this.
I'm going to do another video soon with the bike for you guys
More shop exploring videos ❤

@BrassLock most funny I ever saw was in Cambodia, how they carry very large pigs on small motorcycles. The pig may not share my idea of fun, though!
chad, i think the pipe that you showed on 2:53 is an intake pipe. they replace the rubber ones that came stock
PLEASE give us a one take walk-around of the bike when it is finished. Thanks! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
I hope some motorbike tour vids are on the way! That's how I found you back in the day!
His bike tours were some of the best content he has put out.
@@HEATRACER24when you do your best but you're not being appreciated by the mass... That was his journey.
It was a lot safer to drive back then during the situation. Not as many people on the streets. I remember him visiting beaches that were completely empty.

I really like your new chad Bike
He should have get a real man scooter...just a letter change but it's another world the infamous TMAX...add a turbo and you don't need anymore cars as it is too slow compared!
I really Chad you new like bike
really hopes to see some motorbike tours again!
Nice choice on the scooter and upgrades Chad.
Bangkok during the situation was weird, like an end of the world movie. But knowing where to go and what was open when it maybe shouldn't have been was brilliant fun. Drop a few Bhatt on drinks and the parties were epic.
2:52 is not an exhaust braaa.. it’s an Intake pipe that connects the air filter to the throttle body 😂
Love it Chad...cant wait for your bike trip video then!!
Glad you're enjoying the bike Chad. I knew it wouldn't be long before you had to bling it up!
CB Media is hooked with moto scooter bikes! Nice!! More of these please... Stuff only becomes really expensive when every hypes it up. Thats what most people do in the US specially the content creators. Just pure nonesense!

Best is to stick to high quality when changing bolts on you bikes …Probolt has only top quality fasteners ..the rest are rubbish !
Glad you went with the Grey and red..
Chad you rock! Love to see a motorbike tour again. Peace
Hey Chad, there is a huge motorcycle scene in Rayong about an hour away from Pattaya. Let me know if you ever head this way… I can keep you posted on upcoming events such as dirt bike events and motor bike meet ups.
Very Cool Shop, Crazy Prices.
Thanks for the content from MC shop. I wish we could be that chill in the ststes.
Chad - great choice on the bike - congrats - that is the one I am getting when I move to Khon Kaen in 2024.
Brake calipers and rotors front & rear.
Ohlins Fork springs.
Weighted barends heavy ones will help to adsorb shock & reduce arm fatigue during long rides.
Brided brake hoses/lines.
And get the original yamaha comfort seat( not cheap but your butt will thank you for them). 😂
Malossi clutch & bell will reduce clutch slippage during long rides.
Polini hi speed variator 12 roller(do change the weight of them come in the box rollers, increase the weight of the rollers.)
Rode my xmax for 79k km mileage... Good scooter but not the best.
Overall it's a GOOD scooter for city roads.
Anyways enjoy your sick ride. 0:02
Great bike Chad, I have the same, that shop you were in is just down the road from my home. Been there many times. If you go back there ask them if the worked on a exhaust for a Vrod ..lol they will know me. Keep the videos like this coming
Hi. Chad)
Good to see you and your stuff.
The stuff is inspiring ))
Big thanks, man.
P.
Always great seeing you supporting the Thai economy 👌
Chad your man with the motorbike.❤ Toyota Corolla GR ❤
Chad i hope you've recorded the road trips in southern thailand. The ones you did a few years back in Pai were epic 😊
I did not, I just did the trip and wanted to enjoy it and live in the moments instead of trying to capture everything on video. It ended up being a good choice because it was not really an enjoyable trip with all the crazy drivers back on the road post-"situation". Those times doing tours around back then were a once in a lifetime opportunity I think.
You need a custom CB media wrapped helmet.
The silver discs are brake rotors
I can’t say it enough, but I really love these 1takes!
Absolutely!
Road trip that bad boy without trying to move so quickly you might enjoy it more and those are some of my favorite videos, that and the car trips/ destination meet ups! Keep killing it!
Thank you, very informative!
I live in Pattaya and S Racing is also my go-to shop for my motorbike accessories, fluids, and service. For international spec helmets (HJC, Bell, etc.) you might also want to visit Born Biker out near Lake Mabrachan. Enjoy the X-Max!

แปลไทย
Dude I admit I stumbled on to CB media by accident , so glad I did awesome car stuff , great energy keep it up
Thats a dope store! Thanks for the tip about the helmet!!
Surprised you didn’t purchase it years ago.
Congrats, I have a lowered and stretched Grom as well as a stunted Grom.
You’ll love it
It’s called MSX125 in Thailand
Always love the motorbike vids
The shop in the middle of Soi Buakhao is a great place for custom work on bikes. The owner's name is Rudy, if I recall correctly. They have a bunch of bikes they worked on on display.
Nice lookin Xmax man!! Perfect Color Combination
love the 1 takes, Chad.
Haha my favorite shop for bike stuff, made a couple of vids there
I need to go scooter shopping in Thailand. Safe travels Chad
LOVE these 1 take vids!
I used to live on the East side, went past it loads of times, never realised that shop was so good
Having crashed a motorcycle at speed, an expensive helmet is an investment in your future.
Thanks for valuing are input chad,I really wish I was able to send my motorcycle there to have it rebuilt, and customized .
Here in the USA I gotta do it all my self ,just because of insane shop rates here.
Great choice. Nice upgrades for so cheap compared to the U.S.
Should hv gotten a Tmax 530 or 560 the go to bike here in the Caribbean 🇩🇲🇬🇵
Guy is living his life to the fullest. 😇
Super nice bike to get around on enjoy and be safe
2:52 It's not exhaust it's ram air for the throttle body direct to the air filter same as the car
8:43 brake discs
Always love your videos💕💕🙏🙏😊😊
Thanks for showing the shop I been looking for a good place to buy things for my bike it’s only a 125 click but I need some upgrades Thanks !
Love the motorbike videos. Planning to do the Mae Hong Sogn loop this November!
My buddy is in Thailand right now and says it's a very beautiful place especially the ocean
Another biker here, more depth on the bike scene, including older stuff would be a good diversification for your channel 👍🏻
Great job on the new channel and content....
That looks like a jewelry store for scooters, can't believe the prices! Excellent content still! Good work!
You shiuld get the genuine yamaha comfort seat. Definitely a must do mod for the xmax.
G’day, the Yamaha X-Max is a great scooter, I have been looking at bikes and scooters for sale in Pattaya and I have come down to my choice is a Honda scooter mainly because of Honda dealer network in Thailand because I will be doing some touring, I think I will be buying a Honda ADV350 Adventure scooter it’s not too big, not too small.

1 take videos are great 🍻
Those prices are insane !
My motorbike tour advice...don't go the wrong way on the road and run into a cop on motorbike...it won't end well.
🤘😘🌬🌬➡️🇹🇭
welcome to the xmax club chad
I miss your moto tours. Hope you do some more soon
I like this video Chad....... Keep it up
I dream to have a scooter shop like that one
They are in another level 🙌🏽
Love, it do some more shop exploring videos of custom parts ❤
Scooters are getting ready popular over here in cali😅❤
I feel ya on how riding has changed since the pandy. I got rid of my motorcycle here in CA. Drivers are sofa king distracted and generally don’t gaf about riders. If I get back on 2 wheels it’ll be a track only bike.
I like that you use Öhlins shocks. I work for them here in Sweden. Only the best is good enough 😂
I love this channel
UpGrades!!! Yeah, more upgrades please. Wow very nice brake levers. Braided brake line? Obnoxious straight pipe please. Scott’s steering dampener? Corbin seat too! I love it!!!!! CF is Betty good!!!! Black billet pegs for your Thai girl! Carbon Fiber helmets are nice and light. Mesh armor jacket good to save exterior human cover. 😊
Nice scoot. If I choose to move there, can I bring my Harley? And is there a price to do so. Pensacola to near your local.
What was the ballpark overall cost for the bike there?
VERY COOL MOTO CHAD! VERY COOL RUclips CHANNEL TOO! SUGGEST ADDING HAND GUARDS- CAN SAVE YOU A LOT OF PAIN, SUFFERING AND MONEY IF/WHEN SHIT HAPPENS. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BRO! 🍻...
Kinda a bummer that you choose the RCB E2 Master Pump instead of the RCB S1 (The one with the separate and bottle shaped reservoir, right behind the E2 you showed us) because the E2 won't feel much different than the standard, I have a Xmax too and I'm 100% certain that it won't feel much different, I have tried the S1 (Albeit on different bike) and it feels miles better than the E2.

I would go wild at those prices especially YSS shocks
sweet scooter
That was my choice for you to get! Nice!
Hey Chad, maybe look into a cutom helmet wrap. good investment on the scooter.
This is a haven for bike lover.
The X-Max is pretty mint and giving it your own touches is not only cool but looks super cheap!
Crazy how cheap it is to upgrade these little bikes, and I forgot the mention all those prices included instal! Is that not crazy? Free instal on all parts bought there
A new subscriber from Malaysia.
We need a shop like that in California bro .
Hi Chad Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 love that color
Do they have tmax or x adv?
Hi 👋 Chad - Do you know of a similar shop that you'd recommend in BKK? I'd like to get some upgrades done on my Xmax & Aerox
Love the bike! How illegal is the exhaust? What’s the punishment if a copper stops you?
Did you buy that used? If so, how much? FYI...I've been looking for a slightly used XMax or Forza.
Cool scooter or is a motorbike? 😅 Xmax, will have to google it. It does look very cool! Curious if will again be doing some road tour vids like the old days and how the bike will ride. Oh, traffic..I hear you. Well will wait and see, I enjoyed back when you did some of the road trips. 😊 Thanks Chad
@2:58 that is not an exhaust but an air intake tube
It'd be good to have a garage full of bikes, scooter for around town, adventure bike, dirt bike, tourer, supersport, lightweight naked, cruiser. Maybe the world needs a lightweight offroad supersport tourer.
wow 15 years ago, in europe, i paid 120 euros (150dollars) for a simple helmet. amazing to see that 15 years later thailand is still cheaper
Don’t know how I feel about the prices of some items, they seem too good personally I’d rather pay to have the original fixings and wheels anodised/painted and a helmet should be atleast $200 surly I know they ain’t name brands but do they atleast have a safety rating
We need a bike journey vlog from Phuket to phang nga please bro 🙏🏽
I was hoping that the hand break handles would be red like the wheels. Could use a little accent to help them stand out.
