goretex is definitely much more protective than mesh..but airflow might be otherwise..
i like akras mainly because of the name itself and the symbol lol! but i think quality wise they're on par..
no answers for the filter tho hehe
*
Yeah...my uncle keep recommending Goretex...But I am afraid of heat...(I am a water kerbau under jacket).
I don't mind the performance different of yoshi/akra, as I don't do a lot of top, just want some sound so other driver/rider know I am around instead of knocking into me. The youtube recording sound is so unrealiable and so different than real life sound I can't compare them. I know I can't change the rhythmic "thub thub" sound but just want to make it more bassy and noticeable than current mesin jahit. I like stock exhaust sound after 6k rpm during accerelation. was hoping a change of exhaust can get that sound from 3k rpm onwards....

For filter I think i'll get the K&N as I m using K&N for my car as well, share the recharge kits. biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

Ok, planning on my groceries,
Goretex vs Mesh Jacket, which is better in term of protection and cooling?
Akra vs Yoshi, which sound nicer and more bass,
BMC vs K&N, which filter better?
*
Goretex is waterproof, but gets pretty toasty under the hot afternoon sun. Mesh is heavenly when riding when it's hot out, but you will get drenched when it rains.

Out of those two, Yoshi has a louder, bassy tone to it. Both are quality brands.

Not sure but the favourite seems to be BMC. Buy whatever tickles your fancy.

QUOTE(zirconxi @ Aug 21 2013, 07:34 PM)
Ohh..ya, not to forget,
BT023 vs PR3, which perform better in wet and last longer in touring?
*
BT023 is currently being phased out, replaced by the new T30. According to Motorrad magazine, the new T30 is on par with Metzeler Z8, which won the best sport touring tyre last year.

Mileage wise, I read somewhere that because of the added grip to the new tyres, mileage for the T30 is slightly less than the 023.

PR3 came 3rd last year and pushed to 4th this year.

The new king for 2013 was awarded to Pirelli's new Angel GT.

This is all based on a review by a german magazine just so you know.

I've seen quite a number of fake Yoshi's around.... be careful.

The rarer the exhaust, the less chance it's fake... lol.

Just came back from Ulu Yam => Genting night ride for the 1st time....scary and super dark...Got 1 lorry Crash into the hillside and the recovery job block the whole lane. Then I just tail other car all the way to Genting lit road...Spooky road... Came back using the usual Karak Highway, safer....
Don't understand why some like to use it during the night. I use the road on day and feel comfortable. 1st night ride on that road scare the shit out of me...

I found high speed addictive at 1st, but then the kick just went away (From initially thrill change to now scared). Then I found corner and pick up addiction is way way more addictive and safer.. biggrin.gif biggrin.gif ...
