hi guys,

just got my er6n today. the torque is really powerful.

I have a question for the owners of er6n. Is your gearbox very clunky? Whenever I change gear, it is very clunky. 1st gear is horrible. It jolts quite bad.

I have read a few forums and it seems that it is not break in properly.. The problem is that this is a second hand bike (Year 2009 and mileage is 35k) . It is impossible that it has not break in properly yet.

I suspect maybe it is the engine oil. Maybe the previous owner did not use fully synthetic engine oil.

Hopefully can be resolved after my service..

Thanks for the advise bro..

VT-Ten,

Yes yes.. The loud sound "Ke-Tak"!! But did your bike jolt to the front a bit? Mine jolts a bit..

Besides this, is your bike heavier on the right side? When I corner on the left side, it s nice and smooth but when on the right side, suddenly it felt a bit heavy.

manggiss,

Nasib lah ini adalah normal. Ingatkan nak cari org tgk2 skit.. Boleh lah riding this weekend.. =)

I thought is coz of the exhaust and suspension is on the right side which cause it to be heavy on the right side..Need to check tyre and fork as well..

Does your bike heated up easily? It seems like mine after a 20 minutes ride, the fan is on and I can feel the heat at my feet area..

Haha.. No wonder..

Maybe Malaysia roads are full of left hand corners.. Need more right hand corners to practise.. =)

Just went to my usual shop for service and placed in a windshield. Helped a lot in reducing the wind from hitting my body.. Wahaha

For the bike having issues in right corners, I have found out that it is the fork problem. The previous owner might have been involved in an accident.

I can live with it for now. Just need a few adjustments while riding and it will be ok...

The heat...Well, I have to live with it.. Hahah..I will have bbq feet soon

SkeletonKing,

Road tax is 250 and insurance..well..around 500-600..depends u plan for new bike or second hand

I am riding ninja 250r right now. I did not have such problem..That is why I find it weird. I thought the whole sprocket is going to come off.. Hehe

I dun think is that bad..If you are comparing er6 and superbike like zx6 then i think of coz er6 will lose out..

I also have friends who says their er6 is really good in cornerings and even go for track day at Sepang. I think it depends on the rider itself on how comfortable they are with the bike

Yeah skeleton king.. =) Should get ur bike quick then we can ride together..

Got my tall Givi windshield installed... Helped a lot with the wind.. I cannot take it when riding without the windshield..

mls_gamer:

It depends whether you are looking for new bike or second hand. If second hand, i would recommend to get year 2009 and above bike. I think you will be able to find in between 24k - 29k for year 2009 and above.

If you want to buy new bike then will be around 33k.

Hope this helps

Looks like everybody is getting the new model.. I am tempted to let go off my ER6N and go higher... Waahahaha.. Anybody interested?

Maybe BMW? Maybe FZ6? Hehhee.. I am more into touring.. Not sure whether wanna upgrade or stick with my ER6. Very easy to maintain and easy to ride. Once into i4 and thats it, everything s more expensive.

A lot of mods available. I changed my handlebar to lighter handlebar but it s kawasaki oem. Added windshield. Changed the exhaust and etc...

It depends what you like

Hahaha.. Everybody s into er6n now. I m not selling already. Kinda hard to depart with it... Now made some mod and it s more awesome

Oh...then I can understand y u got tapau by lc.. Hehe..

U got the 2012 er6n? Yellow colour?

For me,I think not much difference.. No matter what upgrade they have made, it is still 6n. Which is still the most affordable bike and great in maintenance..

A little story of wat happened to my bike last week. It spent a few days in workshop because there were some issues with the flow of fuel. It seems like not so smooth n died out on me while riding.... After a few days check, found out that 1 of the cables got bitten off by RAT!!!
