Have you considered Belang? Why do you need another bike ah? 5k is a lot of money to spend leh.

i never consider belang. But this bike did come to my mind but i dont like the appearance, rim, etc and it looks like the old school Hurricane it's too low for me.

the reason i need another bike is because i may use it for long term and might using for long distance also. Besides, i'm not sure do u notice that the bikes(fz/krr) i'm looking for are abit bigger in size compare to those lagenda/wave etc. i have a big body size thats y i choose bigger bike(not sure is this an excuse)

i did looking around mudah for more than a month. i found that 5k can buy 2010 lc es(1st model) and 08/09/10(but rare) fz. but i prefer fz as it is bigger and fuel injection.

last time u mentioned that u are using a 2t bike, not sure u mind to tell what bike are u using?

ok, good to know the reasons, thanks.
again... I hope you guys don't mind.

thanks for all the input. hmm, actually this is LC thread but i talk bout other bikes. Sry to all LC owners ya. But i guess we are welcome to talk about bike here because I dont find other topics which are active.

i've been asking for 3 first gen FZ too. they are having 5k, 9k and 20k mileage repesctively. The 9k one is sold and 20k one is booked, both of them are 2008. While the 5k one is registered in Feb 2010 and he's asking for rm6k(insurance expired) which i think the price is too high for the 2010 because the v2 FZ 2011 is selling around rm6k+ now. I told him honestly that my budget is rm5k and let him think bout it.

I contacted another FZ owner yesterday night and we'll meet up tonight. The bike is reg on min yr 2011, 5k mileage and everything in original condition. Cash price is rm6k(insurance till mid of 2013). At the same time while we are in communication, another buyer contacted him as well and that buyer offered the same price and wanted to meet up with him before my appointment.

Then i have to arrange my appointment with him before the other buyer. if d bike is ok, i'll pay him deposit tonight and then we'll go to jpj tmr to transfer the ownership. Balance will be paid after the ownership transfer and bike and geran will be given to me at the same time.

May i ask is there any things i must check carefully tonight? plz advice me. Besides, is it possible to check the engine number?

Yeah, ask owner to show you engine and chassis number.

Not sure location for engine/chassis number for FZ. Usually engine number is stamped on metal cover on right side, near kick starter, bring a torchlight. Chassis number is stamped on the side of steering cone.

Listen for engine sound when cold, and after warm up. Both engine temperature will hear different kind of noise. Usually just listen for wear and tear.

Make sure all plastic components are screwed nicely, that could tell any warping of engine chassis in case any history of drop/fall/accident. Mudguards should all be there... some seller pandai remove rear mudguard to make bike look sporty, and many buyers don't notice.

FZ stock rim is not designed for tubeless tyre, even though it is alloy rim... made in India, can consider upgrade.

fz rims cant support tubeless? looks like kayama sport rims. tzm rim also can fit into fz

I met with the fz owner yesterday. Before i meet with him, i went to hardware shops to find a good lock. According to the boss, he recommended Yale 60mm(gold body) or Yale(sth with boron material) than Solex. Coz he said quite a few customers told him those police recommend Yale lock to prevent the small thieves. The gold body is rm60, Boron is rm90, Solex(either 55mm or 60mm) is rm60. When i look at the locks, suddenly the lock at my house comes to my mind and i ask him "Do u have Viro lock?". He took a short while to look for it and he found it. The reason i ask for this lock is because it has been used in my house for 20yrs and it is still functions as good as a new one. Besides, it is Made In Italy and it is a 70mm lock. I think it is good enough for me at the moment. Then i ask him for steel chain but he don't have it. So i'll look stell chain in coming days.

Meet with the buyer. When I look at the bike, the first impression is "like new" Look closely to every part of the bike, what i can say is "like new". It's a July 2010 bike and the mileage is around 4.4k now, front tyre 90/80, rear either 110 or 100(cant remember correctly) and both are Maxxis. The owner changed to these tyres when he bught the bike. The tyre looks 85-90% new. Chain and sprocket very clean, engine parts looks new, body looks new. What i can say is the bike is well maintained by the owner.

Time to test the bike. Start the bike using the electric starter, press the button and the bike is started immediately. So the battery shd be ok. Listen to the engine and it sounds the same with/without pressing the clutch, so clutch shd have no problem. Engine runs smooth and the sound is not as rough as the 1 i tested at kuala selangor. Put my hand at the back of the exhaust hole, the wind/air came out with lot of omph. It's powerful. Check the headlamp, tail lamp, signals and all indicators on the odometer. Everything is functuning. All the parts have no sign of rusty.

Ride on the bike, go straight, go round, turning, go through bumps, brakes, all runs well. Absobers and monoshock no weird sound when go through bumps. The only only problem is rear brake is not so 'tight', may b have to change the rear brake shoes. After some discussions, then i transfer rm500 to him through ATM to lock the deal as there is another buyer going to meet with him after my appoinement.

This morning went to JPJ, fill in forms, pay him RM500 in cash to gain his trust, buy new insurance(RM342) coz insurance is not trasferrable, transfer the ownership, go to Maybank near the JPJ and transfer the balance(RM5000) to him. While waiting for our turn, i chat with him. I ask him how much he bought this bike and he showed me all the receipts and i Bike(RM8k+), accessories(sampan, front absobers cover, rear tyre mudguard, helmat, alphinestar jacket, Maxxis tyres etc cost him RM1k+) After i transfer the balance to him, i pay him extra RM50 for teh tarik.

So i pay RM6000 + RM50 for:
- geran
- bike
- disc brake lock
- shoei helmat
- alphinestar jacket (never think that he'll give me the jacket)
- gloves (it's also and extra for me)

* The reason i'm so rush is because another buyer is eyeing on this bike and i dont want to miss such a good bike.

Ride the bike to office, lock the bike. So lucky that the Viro 70mm is just nice to fit the sprocket. I believe a 75mm cant fit in dy. Going to buy a steel chain and a Xena X2 disc lock. Xena X2 is selling for rm90 in ebay. Any1 know where can i buy a steel chain or steel cable with at least 15mm and above?

This is my experience with the FZ. Thank you.

bargain yo , clutch sound will come out soon dun worried maybe he ride so slow

Excellent sharing... thank you very much. You've been a good chat, and I certainly hope you will come by here often.

Come comment for you,

Dont bang any deep hole on road, will cause ur FORK bengkok..(FZ fock common problem)
Dont over rev the bike , will cause ur block calar and valve start got sound.
Dont Pump petrol when there is a lorry refill the petrol to underground reserve tank. Will cause ur FI sesak.
Dont Change ECU if you are using standard block.
Take care the OMRON Cell near your bike tail, kida expensive for those 6unit.
Dont try any Fuel cleaner / octane booster example : JTX, X1r. Will cause your EFI Spoil.

i love this bike FC

still a better bike the kips

2nd hand tupai zek rm 5000...

thanks for all the valueable information and i'll take note on all of them. I've check the rear tyre, it is a Maxxis Promaxx Street 110/80/17.

besides, i'm still looking for a 15mm above chain/cable. This one looks ok, around USD30.

Going to hardware shop to look around this weekend.
