hmmm interesting. number plate blanked out.

GO straight to B FUll . dont waste time.
when you go to the driving school to learn, just be honest, tell the instructor you've never ride a motor before. People will look at you one kind but you know, malaysians are quite jakun.
The instructor will advise you, try the kapcai for a few rounds. learn the course, Figure-8, Titi, cones, "jln raya". Then hop on the big bike when you are confident.

dont need to go into the course yet. Just learn to start it, learn to use the clutch and take off in 1st-gear. you can also just go around the bigger area (where the cars go) first to get used to turning the bike etc etc.

what chain oil you using?

i used this for a while: and I hate it. Just waiting for it to finish.

for cleaning I use diesel. cheap and doesnt harm o-rings and plastics. I also do take off the sprocket cover to clean up the gunk in there. Even tho it is impossible to clean everything.
Diesel is oily and will need something to wash it off so I use a degreaser you can buy from hardware shop.

if you can get the 250 without taking loan good la. otherwise you're still paying our crazy interests rates.

what were you talking abut actually, was it the side mirror?

yea. however I also find the regular mirrors practically useless. I have to turn my head quickly most of the time.

he's right.
when it comes to passion, find the bike that you know has a good mechanic for.

1. i lube my chain once every 600-700 km. clean the chain and the sprocket area once every 3-4 months.
(as you can tell, malaysia is a wet country and if you ride the bike more, the frequency of cleaning the chain would be higher)

2. bike detailing susah sikit. coz bikes have a lot of crevices and nooks that are hard to reach. Autodetailer of PJ Jaya One actually takes apart the bikes, and washes all the parts individually to do a proper job. Otherwise, the job will be half baked.
But for the average mamat like me, half baked is enough so I do it myself.

thanks for the info! Convenient for me.

Autodetailer is premium. You most likely need to be a member. But for one off expect the cost to be in the high hundreds.

I think you'll like the Ninja 250R. at least for 2 years lah. I was on karak the other day and the Ninja just easily swept past me on soome of the turns haha.

same question. Might want to change from Er6 to shiver some day.
But takut its too small for me.

well they are being honest. or more likely, its also difficult to trade in later on. As in, they dont want to take in the bike.
Those two points they make are true, but you're also paying less for the bike to begin with.

next to federal highway Subang tol?

60 kw only bro. tak sampai supersports level.
