Believe me, I am no better than you. I live in central, shit loads of bike shops and whatever you name it. But most of my stuffs is not purchased locally. Why? Couldnt find many that fits me.

Tried before where I flew AirAsia. Helmet was in a backpack and I just hand carry it in together with my laptop.

I recommend using the BT021.

According to police statistics, 225,154 accidents occurred nationwide between January and June.

LOL! I think I contributed 2 to the stats. Regardless whether if its moped riders or not, so long as we are on 2 wheels - it makes us no difference. My take on this is very simple, if you do not value your life - you are going to be a mess for yourself, your loved ones and other road users. It is because of simple ignorance and "tidak apa" attitude which is creating such mess. Corrective measures? Yea rite!

Anyway, this is just an awareness article. Nobody is going to be bothered by this anyway.

First of all, welcome back to Malaysia.

2nd, congrats on the suit. It looks damn good on you.

3rd, you gotta buy me a drink after this.

Step 1: Use one end of the jacket with the zipper stub



Step 2: Make sure the pant's connecting zippers are aligned like below



Step 3: Slide the jacket stub in between the pant's connecting zippers. Take note that it should look like the below



Step 4: Zip it all the way.

Once you get use to it, you can do it by yourself. No need extra help from others.

Added on September 19, 2012, 12:45 amIts hot provided if you wear them with the wind proof liner and you are not moving. When on the move, you could feel the jacket is well vented. When I wear this jacket, I always wear a base layer. So not much of an issue for me in this tropical climate.

Congrats on your new purchase - I do hope it will materialize super soon. Since you are working in JB, I strongly recommend you to head to Singapore to shop for the boots.

1K for a pair of boots you have many options. Since you will be riding from JB to Kajang, I strongly recommend you to get a waterproof or Goretex lined boots. But there are 2 things which you need to take note of. First, the goretex materials is only on the exterior. Meaning to say it creates like a near hydro phobic effect for water to be smeared away. Having said that, you need to match with your riding pants. If your riding pants is tucked into the boots - there goes your investment for a goretex boots as water is going to sip in through the calves of your leg. If you are getting a pants which goes outside of the boots - make sure the pants is wide enough to go over the boots.
2ndly, despite what they say the breathe-ability of a goretex material - your feet is going to feel warm unless you get a non goretex lined perforated boots. Get a pair of sports socks dri-fit and whatever fit from adidas, nike and etc.

Personally for 1K budget, I would get a Sidi ST Goretex or Gaerne GRW Aquatech. Just do not walk much around with it as the soles are not touring like soles which has better durability. If you even think of going down to the track even with that 5% chance - always be prepared for the worst. It is your leg we are talking about.

I am not in that league laa...

I only ride a KSR110.

Wow factor very subjective. But base on looks, I would take the CBR 900RR. Decal or spray it with HRC colour theme and you would have a classic cum new bike look.

Get the Z800 - better investment to secure future resale. Am sure if you ride any sub litre bikes, there will be a time you will want to rush to upgrade to a litre bike when the opportunity comes.

It was a pleasure to have you as company and how is the new Hayden breaking in? Sold my Hayden yesterday, despite the wicked graphics, matte colour and all - but I will be back to HK from time to time to get more stuffs for personal use or for my riding buddies. So my guess is that he will be the very few in town alongside with you to own the 27 Sept 2012 helmet.

Benefit of others not knowing how the new Hayden looks like - here goes

Am still hunting for that 2010 helmet that I have always set my eyes on...

Sharing some insights on HK & Macau superbike scenes.

1. HK Police uses BMW 2 wheelers - R1200RT for the newer bikes.
2. Hondas are quite popular in HK & Macau
3. Macau Police uses VFR800 or 1200 as their wheel machines
4. Both HK & Macau police's bikes does not have that much bling compared to what we have here
5. Big cc 2 wheelers are not commonly seen or used as a runabout machine - they rather use scooters or mopeds due to traffic congestion
6. Both HK & Macau has not enough stretches for big cc bikes - everything is just a short sprint and my guesstimate is that we can hardly even use 4th gear.

New ZX6r ala ZX636 is in town! RM72k on the road.





Seems to me not much difference from the previous ZX6R eh. Take your pick - white or green?

Added on November 7, 2012, 5:00 pmWho could resist that new Hayden's graphics at that price we got it for. Anyway, it was not my intention to sell but since he always wanted an Arai so my as well just sell it off since I go there off & on.

Sure - let me know what you need and see if I can help. You should have just bought that helmet...

Alpinestar Fastlane Perforated shoes is also cheap! I grabbed a pair - but the tri color option was not available in perforated version and settled for the black/grey option.

icecold, get the SuperTech Rs!

Cannot remember - give MotoMart a call.

Look what I brought back from Macau! Just kidding.

Bike arrived on late Wednesday evening, was hoping to ride her on Sunday morning. Could not get the bike registered in time, so brought her back hoping that everything to be sorted out coming Monday.

Try something different.

icecolddamncold, honestly I was not sure till the day it arrived.

Just whack only.

Took the 636 for a ride this morning. Some mini review and thoughts of my own

What I do not like:
1. Stock screen is crap! Tucked in and the screen is parallel to my eyes/viewport. Irritating as hell
2. Riding position seems a lill aggressive for a supersports. Comparing to the others, the 636's handlebar seems lower
3. Torque, virtually none compared to my Z1000. No more sudden adrenaline rush
4. The all new exhaust system is VERY restrictive! It is said that this 636 engine is churning out 130hp, put it on a dyno and the result is 109whp with 6kg of torque
5. Stock ecu maps pulls through to 14.5K rpm and then power is cut off gradually to redline
6. By changing to a slip-on with straight flow mid pipe - very very minimal horsepower gains. Be prepared to be disappointed. Torque increased by 0.6kgs and comes in earlier. Again, this is due to issue #4. Save your money for a full system or be prepare to gut the header.

What I like:
1. Brakes, the Nisin monoblock calipers and 310mm paired with Brembo RCS19 seriously provides one heck of a stopping power and feedback. Mind you, I had upgraded to 310mm disc with upgraded brake pads on my Z1000 - and the 636 performs much much better
2. Gearbox - the new gearbox does wonders! I have never felt gear changes so smooth. Shit you not, comparing to the previous zx6ses it is a major improvement where me & many others that tried the bike vouch for this
3. Clutch - with the servo assist, clutching in and out is now effortless. Super light, but problem is lack of tension feedback where if you want to feel the grip when clutching out. The slipper clutch also does wonders, I have tried downshifting without clutching in and it is bloody smooth
4. Power, smooth delivery of power all the way to 14K rpm. So far no experience of flat spots
5. Shares many parts with the previous 09-11 ZX6R

Dont plan to do much modification to the power or torque.

I think most sportsbike does not have that handle for pillion - notice that my 636 also does not come with it.

When push the bike backwards, I would walk-reverse using my hip resting on the tank for counter weight and slowly push the bike backwards with both hands on the handlebar. Normally I would do this on the left hand side of the bike. Why do I do this? Coz I am short & lack of arm brute force. Though it look silly and very amateur, but I just heck it.

But if the surface is flat, then I would just push the bike backwards with my right hand supporting the back seat.

Agree, would grab the strap if there is one. Mine has a cowl, so got to walk reverse slowly on slopes.
