Thanks man for the advice! Yups..im from larkin. Still surveying at the moment. Do u have any suggestion?

yup...can bring you to the authorised kawa dealer@ungku aminah

let me know when you wanna get the bike bro...can bring you over intro you to the boss...very nice guy..

Oo..you know the boss ahh..okay..will inform you when im planning to go there.

hi all, holiday greetings

Trigger pulled.
order made.
pics soon.
blue krr 150.
Expected to arrive by this friday...
(it looked quite bulky in width compared to say rxz but since ultimately i wanna get bigger bike, got to start with this - did not do any test ride with this bike - hope all is ok).

Now i'm quite worried about security as i stay in highrise with bikes parked below.
what kind of SECURITY can i arrange for my bike?
Is there any cheap GPS transmitted that can be attached to the bike with link to a smartphone to trace it in case it is taken?
Also any good shops selling bike security devices?
thanks guys, cheers.

Nice one GPS it sure will be expensive.

Usually ppl will buy a normal lock like solex, or chain, or a disc lock.

GPS is passive security, it cant prevent from being stolen, but only help in "lost & found".
you shall get active securities. disc lock/wheel lock are decent. siren could scare the punk off when they sit or move your bike. a chained wheel/chassis that leashed to a pole or pillar would be the ultimate solution, hah.

safe ride, happy biking.

lol he want also canot lo.
he mentioned he live in condo/apartment. unless he have a crane to lift his bike to balcony xD

hahahahaha nice oneeee!



congrats broo...

locks, disc lock..and loud alarm siren. you can also get those disc locks called Xena if im not mistaken, that has an inbuilt alarm... this can be used when you upgrade later on also. GPS not cheap la bro...last time i heard, got one guy, leave a cheap phone in his car .. then when it gets stolen, he just does that search my phone thing... and found his car...hahahha...

Actually getting a cheap phone with A gps - some do auto updates on that four square website i think - that was a thought in my mind, but i think A GPSphone still expensive.
I asked for certain number combination for luck in number plate - they said that will cost rm 380 for runner - wanted to use both earthly and 'ong' protection for bike. kips would sort of stand out like a sore thumb amongst the kapchais parked. anyway i don't want to think too much about this. the shop mechanic will ride bike and park in my place as i do not want to ride it during rush hour due to my limited experience.
Also i saw this but i suppose not available in malaysia...

On another note, KIPS 150 is a 2-stroke bike, after that you better upgrade to >500cc (coz Ninja 250 is slower than kips)

I experienced similar accident haha. I left my keys on my bike for the whole night (riding ER6F) and it's still there. Kudos to the guards who secure the area!

No, at the moment i'm not in condo type. it's 'open air'...no guards.
Both the above posters have 600cc kawa which i think not many thiefs interested.
But yamaha LC/honda cub hot
the kawa 150cc i ordered also considered quite hot for thiefs.
600cc bikes, superbikes etc i think thiefs have no much incentive to steal.
i better pray to all the gods.

ps - recently my bro car got broken into, caught the guy red handed, cctv footage also got, but eventually the thief (drug addict) got released within 1 week i believe. now i understand why the public just beats up the thiefs before handing to authorities. but drug addicts - they aren't usually rational so nothing could stop them i believe.

hahahaha im also an er6f owner...left my key under the seat lock... after locking my helmet ironic eh. in front of a mall in j.b.

anyways nothing happen also..thank god.

till today i only use steering lock...but i will get the xena alarm disc lock soon la...other than that..i still belive...if somebody wants to steal it, they will definitely get it..no matter how many preventative measures i take.

Added on October 27, 2011, 2:16 pmhmmm i think you should get the disc lock bro..the one with alarm.. go mudah see Xena alarm, then install the armed alarm with a siren....this is all i can think off...instead of spending the money on gps phone etc. you get this 2 alarm...let it scream and prevent the bike from being stolen....

ya i agree....i'll put simple alarm.
The shop lady called saying kawasaki online order system down since tuesday. They didn't inform this when i placed order. She does not even know when system will be back on! - not even a deadline. They do not have backup, no way to order manually according to her.
I took holiday thursday/friday to sort out bike delivery/ buying lock etc and postponed some events i had to attend for this - will kawasaki compensate owners for this inexplicable delay?

bro i suggest call kawa HQ sales to see if this is the case. sometimes they might claim this n that, in fact is they who r delaying.

ya man...get a Xena disc brake lock with alarm function...i'm using one of those, and it's loud man! :-) the construction of the lock is sturdy too...

i got it from David Choo, a reputable seller on malaysia's various bike forums....just search online....tonnes of stuff man! Jackets, boots, etc...and Eidaman at Kelana is not bad too! frenly owner and wife, will help u source for things...:-)

happy biking!

ok sifus update for today,
i'm not sure about posting photos, but here are 2 pics of the blue baby.
1. they told me 1st gear down, 2nd - 6th up, and reverse order when coming down
2. they showed me a black rotating switch - turn one side if petrol full, turn down for reserve petrol, then turn ? sideways if petrol in between?
3. raincoat for bike rm 100, 2 simple front and back locks both rm 100
5. the mechanic said got rm 5 petrol in bike, i told him to fill till fulltank and deliver to my place. He took rm 20 and said, all rm 20 finish to reach full tank...don't know true or not but gave him rm 10 duit kopi for his effort to ride it to my place.
6. Early this morning plan to make my first ride, i hope starting no prob as these sport bike i've heard need to manipulate 'choke' etc.
7. my bro scolded me for not getting a kappchai/RXZ first, but i said ' i've talked to forum experts, he said this is not USA where they use big bikes, i said i asked in low yat, not USA forum - he kept quiet. Anyway i'm liking the look and feel of this bike. after riding it i'll give further impressions and issues. It's raining much and it's a big wet field outside home before i reach the road, let's see how things go. I hope i can wake up 5 am...

U wont need the choke unless your bike long time no start.

Tell your bro 150ccis also in the range of considered "kapcai" lah

Its pure base for u to learn the clutch/gear. Also, make sure your shoes can tahan playing with the gear, my riding boots usually have extra patch of leather/rubber where the shoes contact the gear.

No,150cc sportbike is considered learner-class sportbike.....

1) yes, its true
2) down when its full, up when you want to put it on reserve, middle when u want to turn off the fuel supply
3) no comment on the shop price
5) no comment about fuel
6) you will need the choke usually when the engine is cold. no big issue.
7) scold him back
