a damn embarassing moment for me yesterday.. was on my newly bought gears and so anxious for a good ride.

1st time on a full leather suit, 1st time on a racing boots. feel kinda awkward walking in the racing boots makes me walk like a robot

was fine pushing my bike out in the morning and manage to get it going. when i reach the stop at the traffic light outside my house, while trying to put both my feet down, my left boots just somehow ter-stuck on the footrest.. making me lose balance and fall on the left side while idle damn malu.. i also dont know how i stuck the boots there.. maybe its a new pair of boots and i hardly feel anything on my foot

managed to lift my bike up a little when one helpful guy came by with a shocked face thinking i was ran down and help me lift up the bike as well.. thanks to the helpful guy thou

left mirror patah, fairings scratched deep at the bottom, and the fairing where the windshield is attached to also broken.. damage on wallet currently unknown, bike still in garage sorry forget to snap some drills..

this is actually the 2nd time i dropped my bike on the left d damn.. 1st time was a kickstand fall over

is it actually advisable to install frame sliders? it does protects ur fairings during idle drops, but read online that if crash impact is high, impact on the sliders might cause ur frame or even the engine at the points where they are mounted to be damaged.. what's ur thought on this?

i was downshifting to neutral and when i was about to lay my foot on ground, the heel of the boots somehow got stucked in between the gear and the foot pegs causing me to lean and lose balance and there goes..

haha im not using any adjustable rear set.. but after some riding and breaking in of the boots, finally felt ok and am more cautious so as not to let the heel got in between again

yeap but some recommended that its better not to install slider as it will damage ur frame/chassis during high impact crash.. and once ur frame and chassis is damaged, haha there's basically no way to rectify it anymore, no?

yeap they will re-fibre the top cowling and respray the whole front head.. quite a big scratch on my tinted windshield, hopefully just to re-tint it would do.. damn i didnt know OEM side mirrors dont come cheap.. US$60 for just one side

actually another problem is with my helmet. reason why i put it up for sale is that i think im gonna just opt for an XL size. although L size gives me a really snug fit.. but if im in it for half hour and above, i can feel the pressure pain on the crown of my head (right above the ear). pain is getting more n more intense gradually and at some point of time i wont be able to focus on riding already, will keep adjusting the helmet but it wont do much help as well.

i tried to solve it by using a balaclava (im always on balaclava thou), fold up style to make it into like those inner cap balaclava (refer pic below) in order to cushion my crown area, but once i fold up my balaclava, it becomes too thick that even the helmet could not fit in anymore so u know how snug is it



apart from the pressure point on my crown area, the helmet is really really comfortable for the 1st half an hour.. after that gradually the pain starts to put in

planning to resolve this issue into an XL size..

suddenly came up with this idea, what do u guys think if i add a small piece of sponge at the inner part of the helmet where it is causing the pressure point around my crown area? this is to cushion it to avoid it directly exerting pressure on my head.. is it advisable?

gosh u ought to be more cautious on the disclock next time why so many incidents lately

the wall saved u for potential damages ie a broken side mirror, cracked fairings, scratched fairings etc.. which happen to mine coz there's no wall to hold my bike upright

haha headache hunting for helmet again thanks to the little hump on my crown.. just looked into the mirror and realized that that lil hump is causing all the hassle in search of a helmet

ya lo.. what so funny? hahahhaah

custom made helmet? do i need to go till that extent no money lehhh haahha..

by the way, im thinking of resolving this issue by changing to an XL helmet. well since the L size on my Xlite is really really snug.. i think i can opt for the XL one, it may be a tad loose but i believe it will still be snug, yet to try an XL to assure that there's no pressure point on my crown.

good thing is that Xlite produces its helmet in 3 different shell sizes, XS-S, M-L and XL-XXL. so the shell of my current L would be different from the XL. thus the pressure point might not be there anymore if i change to XL. goshhhh gotta spend additional money again someone get my L size X802 C.Checa helmet pls haha

what do u guys think?

where to get this Packjack in malaysia? seems very handy..

how to DIY oh??? hahaha... teach me!!

cars easily get stolen too these days, i doubt its not a problem for those grand theft auto if they want a bike

what could be the problem if i could feel that during riding, my handlebar trembles? dont really know exactly how to address the problem.. its like both my palms can feel the slight tremble.. the tremble is not so serious thou.. it sort of give u like a numb feel riding too long in it..

anything that i need to look into?

so many possibilities for the vibration..

talking about wheel balancing, i just found out from a fellow biker that there's none of the workshop here in Cambodia that provides wheel balancing my goodness..

tyre pressure checked, 36 front 42 rear as per factory recommendations.. no prob.. seems that quite a lot of u experiencing the same problem as well.. just wondering how normal is this vibration..

@T600, if u'r doing the throttle body sync, pls let us know the outcome ya

@kapalterbang, my trip is from 28th October to 2nd Nov. i might be meeting up bro phobian on the 30th Oct to go for some bike stuff shopping i will update here if i found out any good stuffs

hahaha im as heavy as orang puteh mang.. 83kg fatty

i'd tried 32 front and 38 back and i feel sluggish and when i adjust it to 36 front 42 rear i feel more grip when riding in it..

sad to hear about ur mishap.. get well soon bro
