Hi There,

To me the bike is a wonderful ride!! everytime I ride it, I feel like heaven

Yup those 2 are the common issue with this bike, however it can be overcome. I would not talk about what causes the problem cause it's gonna be very long to elaborate. So I give you the permanent solution instead.

For the electrical system you need to replace the Original Stator & Rectifier to the aftermarket version (Rick's Stator & Rectifier), this will cost about 1.5k-2k with installation. For the rear brake you need to put in the aftermarket (Race Type) rider foot peg (in which will also relocate the rear brake master pump), this will solve the rear brake issue.

besides the above, this bike is fully customizable since it is a pure factory race breed thus no matter what height are you or your riding style, this bike can be tuned to it. If you need a recommendation for bike setting, let me know I know just the right person to do it.

This is Ducati!!

Last 2 weeks. Yours the red one   

what say u?

i'd rather get a new one rather than risk trying to repair the bent wheels

example found on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2009-HYOSUNG-COMET...35944eb&vxp=mtr

i m looking to buy alphine leather track pants... cos i hv the jacket... check a few shops in kl all out of stock... same to some malaysia online bikers shop too...

can anyone help up?

Can anyone suggest/recommend me a full racing suit which does not burn a hole in the pocket (Maybe around RM1.5k)?

One of the biggest problems with the Apprilia is the rectifier. A lot of them change to after market rectifiers because the original ones dont last. As someone mentioned since its a continental, be prepared to pay continental prices.

They are nice to ride, fantastic machines. But to take care......... make sure got deep pockets...

Is this thread dying? haha

I want to ask..if I buy a bike w/o ABS (for in this case, CB650F) ,

is it possible to install ABS onto it manually ?

Summoning lucifah to entertain me

I still use the method of engine braking before uwing gradual braking, is it bad for the engine ?

If doing engine braking like racing (e.g. corner ahead, i'm in 5th gear, drop and blip to 3rd or 2nd), is it ok?

i had my eyes for z800 but people said the bike is too heavy to lane split 

Going for older model is ok ?

Bcz newer model 2012-2014 i cannot afford 

Unless you have a spare bike/kapchai for daily commuter, better not getting CBR600..

Note, when you own the bike you should consider the maintenance part.. like cost to maintain and availability of the parts..

I know SG is near if can't source it in Malaysia, but would you go often down there just to change parts?

Even CB500 is CKD Thai, saw a bike in Welly has been there for months waiting for part (brake caliper kena stolen)..

haha... i will only agree if he has a spare bike for everyday use

ayam afraid his pinggang patah everyday ride a supersport in crouching position

Okay, there's something that has been bothering me about the negative comments on the Z8.

Yes, compare it with other naked bikes in it's category, she's quite porky. But, the weight actually helps with it absorbing imperfections in the road as well as make her stable while on the go. I have yet to experience any headshakes while riding.

Z8 can't corner properly? No, you just suck at it. She can keep up with 600 & 1000cc sportbikes in the twisties, no problem. The tighter the corner, the better. All you need is practice, practice and practice.

I'm a fat guy. Combine it with the bikes weight, it easily becomes almost 400kg. Yet, I don't have any issues keeping up with the kapchais in traffic. I can't squeeze through some very tight spaces but most of the time it's fine. Learn counter steering. Once you get used to it, you're good to go. Helps with cornering in the twisties as well.

The only downside if you even consider it one, is that it's lacking wind protection, even with a windscreen installed. But that's the nature of a naked bike. The lack of fairing makes long distance high speed cruising become very, very tiresome. And I'm talking about speeds in excess of 200. The sweet spot for cruising is about 150. Anything faster than that and it will take a toll on you. If you can't handle going up to 150, you need to built up your upper body strength. Seriously.

Is Ducati Diavel consider as KILLER bike?
