thx, I can't ride it then.

LC's grip got the waffle thing?! Damn good lah...

The waffle grip is usually for motorcross or supermoto bikes. I manage to google more about this grip, see below.
I think it's up to the user. I'm just getting started with it so no comment. These grips are sold at very expensive price in other countries. Also got another grip, Protaper, which was transparent and feels very tacky. Price tag was RM28, but I think can reduce one... My friend used it on his bike. Only problem was it gets yellowish after long time use, and hardens...

I thought about putting racket grips. When consider sweaty palms, rainy days and weathering of the rubber and it will become powdery in no time. Let us know lah once you give that a try...

hahahha... i've been thinking of changing my grip summor.. too hard and like my hands are on sand paper.. worse.. mayb on the groud except its made of rubber only.. LOL..

hold mayb 10mins++.. palm all reddish like u know usually those grandmas wearing that type of slipper.. got the biji2 wan..? and this time is ur palm on it.. not ur leg wan tapak which is much thicker than ur palm.. HAHAH

for me i dont really care about the grip, i wear my gloves all the time, its already grippy enough ^^

then i really wanna feel LC's grip and compare loh... maybe suck like u all say so.

fixed

huhu..but i think u able to handle monster 696..

haha. yeah, i think monster's riding height quite low compared to r6 or zx6r. much more like blade 250r i think (tested before)..

luckily my height is around 176 like that.. LOL! manage-able! haha..

SuperBike Turns into two pieces

RIP to him.. same time when i play corner at bukit tinggi genting highland..
huhu.. lucky nothing happens to me n my group..

well, that maybe your lucky day. beware bro, public road is not the place to 'asah' your knee pad, SIC or other track are..

yup.. but the place where i go is almost free from any vehicles..
juz wanna try cornering by follow "otai" one..

How to prevent New LC from being stole??
Any prevention technique?
I ask coz i'm going to get my bike soon..
can't wait..

It seems he overshoot to the other side of the road...

Good locks or padlocks, bike cover, electronic alarm etc...
Custom brake caliper cover to prevent theft. Carburator housing, if using aftermarket carb. Additional CDI housing to prevent CDI hilang.

My neighbor park his LC with his helmet on the bike everytime, no lock whatever for long time also no problem. Maybe the helmet will scare off thieves because thinking parking sementara only...

if really want a gd protection just buy the ship docking eh chain & lock it to ur bike is more than every thing le. coz the chain itself need high tech tools in order 2 cut it through.

what is the good brand grip? givi ok? racing boy i'm not interested, looks like rempit.. wanna low profile one

I hate LC's stock grip so much just like aaron said walao it hurts!!! So I think the best way to solve this problem is to wear gloves... Pls don't post these kind of accident stuff here u makes me feel geli and takut leh sob sob

yea.. thats why i bought gloves..gloves solves it.. hard grip + gloves = grip..

if soft grip + gloves = slippery..

so now i wont change grip ade.. if wan to change.. wait till my balancer come out the colour 1st..now still new..black n shiny.. then i change 1 set.. grip + balancer..

hard grip + gloves = grip..if soft grip + gloves = slippery... (agree) WTF KOSO RX2N so cheap??? http://www.mudah.my/New+koso+digital+speed...sal-7183859.htm

i just need to change the grip onli, suggest me good brand la.. dont want to wear gloves, kinda leceh. plus i just ride to work only. if travel far then i'll use gloves if not my hands b get sunburn

Generally most aftermarket grips are good.
- AXO ok, a bit thin, but grips palm well. 1+ yr using and still going strong. Doesn't peel or harden. I like it. RM10.
- RevRider - heard before, seen before, never tried yet.
- Givi ok, but never tried. I don't like this brand becoz most of its stuff is overprice, so I think the grip also overpriced. . RM12-15.
- Domino - branded import. I'm using the semi waffle, which is for motorcross/supermoto. There's one type Domino 3 for motorcross.
- Protaper - branded import. 2 types. Tacky grip transparent for racing/road bikes. Got foam grip with micro pillows for motorcross, quite comfortable.
- Other brands: Bride, Bungbon, Playlife etc etc...

- Givi, Domino and Protaper I see at Tokico only... didn't do much survey. There must be a lot more brands out there...

Here's what to avoid:
- Old stock. Rubber outer layer already become powder and degraded.
- Workmanship: Use airgun to remove old grips. Do not let them cut as it may damage the plastic twist grip on the right handlebar. Test the length of the grip to your original first, before they cut any holes on the side to fit the balancer. Do not swap left right, but pomen should know this already since left right size are different. Twist throttle should be smooth, and it return to zero position smoothly too.
