im contemplating on z750 or er6n..coz the difference is bout 20k. but ultimately i need a bike that i can use to commute to work and home everyday and not worry bout fuel or maintenance everyday.

how close is work from your office?
will you be riding on the highway?

1) the Z has ALOT of torque and will be fun on the smaller roads
2) the 6n has less torque but for highway cruising, you will save more petrol.

thats why i ask about your trevel distance.


the difference is only 20k.
But remember, you almost double the cost of maintenance when you compare 2 cylinder vs 4 cylinder bike

try riding a 1000 cc kawasaki. Hear the sound when you change gear.
hell, try changing gear on a dry clutch ducati.

my point?
Its normal.
I dont know how engine oil can be linked to gearbox but I can tell you its not a problem.
Never was.

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.. =)

Which tyre you using now? Mine was BT 021- stupid tyre. Had same problem as you.
Then I changed front tyre to BT 023. reeeallly nice.

More relaxing to corner now.


But till today I cannot prove if its the tyre fault or not because the problem didnt come back.

the whole left n right thing... could just be the rider...

alot of people i know can take left handers easily....but when it comes to right handers....theyre not as comfortable as left handers...happens on ANY bike.

im one of those people

this is possible also, but the thing is
I'm left handed. hmm.gif

But anyhow,
Ivanlim
this is what I experienced:


(just change front only)

BT-021 - Left cornering OK. Right cornering, the bike will "gegar" a bit and will try to fight your "baring".

BT-023 - Left cornering OK. Right Cornering OK. When you "baring" the bike will stay there until you pull back up.

my advice,
try to ride more and see before you change the tires.

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..

ya, I think they should point the fan somewhere else haha.

tires I am currently using bridgestone BT023 front.
BT021 back.

Reason I didn't change both is because the back was still new.

Im looking for tires that are suitable for mostly straight line usage, any recommendation? (this is a daily used bike)

Michelin Pilot Road 2 is quite good, used it on my Naza Blade before for front and rear ( 120/70/17 & 160/60/16 respectively) and it lasted quite long till I sold the bike, and also have good grip during rain..
Changed the rear tire at 14,000km++, sold the bike at 31,189km 6 months later and it still have plenty of threads left..
Now they have Pilot Road 3 and it might be a bit better..I'm using my bike as daily ride also  smile.gif
