i always use a raincoat as this is my daily ride and i hate stopping by waiting under bridges etc...

helmet according to budget la bro, once i save enough ill try it out.

1.that is called clutch 'mati' i dont suggest you get this as it defeats the purpose.

2.i always like RG's.

for the bike...since its short term i doubt you be facing any major issues and bikes are quite hardcore... just look out for signs of leakage, smoke and misfiring etc...i think license also no need bro..now its self u can buy the bike since cash.

just get a good disc lock or padlock la bro....no matter how you lock up your bike big or small...if somebody wants to steal it..they will get it... so some basic preventative measures is ok....other than that all luck and gods and hands...don think too much...

hahahahah u da man la bro....you are right....during jams, you feel super awesome...and when pumping petrol you also feel super awesome....

as long as got raincoat good one...rain not so much of an issue..just that at times a bit annoying la ...cause cars drive a bit reckless during rain.

yeah SOL, LS2 are quite good budget full faced helmets... im using LS2.

will buy Nolan or Caberg in SG soon.

Lol. Stopping in heavy rain are for the small fish. I never stop in rain, unless my riding buddies did.

Anyway, get a Kawasaki ZX150 first. Very light and agile. Enough power to keep up with those 250cc 4 strokers, and you will be eating them for lunch, and dinner. Low maintenance as well compared to those 4 strokers.

Dont really want to write an essay, as I already tell a hell lot of newcomers to stay away from bike above 250cc, and go for 150cc 2stroke ZX150 as its a better choice compared to 250cc 4 strokers.  Its a waste of time as most people usually think of 2 strokers as rempit bike. I learn my way up the biking ladder with the ZX.

PM me if you want to know why the ZX is a more sensible option.

Well.. i'm a proponent for fullface helmet
1) I dont wanna eat bugs
2) First time i fell off my bike, i landed face down, the scratches infront of my AGV helmet reminded me constantly the reaosn I still have a face.

I'll give u a quick list:

Mecinda at Pertama Complex, if u ask which is ori or fake then they will tell
Motoworld at PJCC next to NPE after tol going to Sunway side, it's a branch here. came from SG. most of the stuffs are original.
Motostyle, pro in custom made full suits
Eidaman Bikers in Kelana Jaya, i'm sure someone here is a regular of this shop.
Big Bike Shop in Puchong, not sure never been there.
Dainese Pro Shop in Plaza TTDI, haven't check it out yet cos they just open 2 days back

there u go, enjoy shopping

Actually Eidaman is not bad, bought from him before a Alpinestar GP-Pro replica gloves for my fren. Fren has been using it for 10 months already and still going strong. Just that it's not convenient for me to go there so my usual hanging out area is normally Sunvay Cycle in Sunway PJS7. The owner Mr Chua is famous for many things and has at least 20 years of experience with bikes. Not to mention his service for bikes is top notch as well.

That's just my opinion.

As for iBikers in Pandan Indah, not so famous and always give lousy service. This has been witnessed by a fren of mine who is also a member in this forum.

Cheers

ps-if u have fb, check out DC Bikers

Hi all..i've been riding kapchai for about 5 years now, but never get to ride bigger capacity bikes (>250 cc)..now im thinking to trade my kapchai and get Z750..is it okay for me or i have to try smaller bikes first?

appreciate your opinion on the matter.

p/s: sorry TS, asking question on your thread..

Actually i started off with a Z750

Hmm if you are ok with clutch go ahead. But to be safe, start with lower cc than Z750. I know this because i've read so many articles regarding big bikes. But then its up to you. its just my opinion. Because big bike have differ handling, speed, clutch, weight and etc.

I think most ppl would say, if you are OK with clutch than its up to you. 

Additional: always know your soon to be bike maintenance and spare parts, it also helps to decide. 

Actually i started off with a Z750

i've been riding 125z and comfortable with its clutch..but heard somewhere that its harder to control clutch on big bikes. neway, thanks for your advice..
