Never stalled the bike when it's on open throttle normal riding but yea I do felt like the engine had some wierd retarding when the rpm is climbing from low to mid throttle. Close the throttle and the problem gone.

Stalled a couple of times... Not sure why.

One time Stalled in front of a group of ppl, making me look like a fool. As if dunno how to ride. Haha.

Nah mistake using high gear in low speed it'll bogged down. But lucky got electric strater easy to start. I stalled once cilok thru to clear the traffic.

No. It was from a stop. Engage first gear... As I just started to release the clutch a bit. It stalled .
Strange. If you search in forums, it's quite a known problem.

Before I was offered a guzzi breva 1200 for 20k. The rarity and 1200cc mayhem spooked me really for a first bike. And yes Diavel gave me a good tease but people say no money, no mess with dukahati.

Sometimes I browse the net for my 'dream' upgrade but none really suitable if you're pendek 5'4" like me. Suzuki M90, Victory Octane/Scout Bagger and Harley Breakout 2019 really caught my attention. Perhaps Octane/Scout I can fit in better with reduced reach kit. M90 got the look with water cooled engine and BO is badass. All of them weight more and bigger than my Vulcan S so they're very intimidating as I've sat on an M90 once. I havent seen a Scout/Octane in real life.

I think Vulcan S offered much of what I preferred: water cooled, feet forward cruiser like design, decent lean angle, weight less, made for midget like me, can do 180kmh and great FC 20km++/L.

You may consider vmax. Made for pendek ppl also.

can i know why yamaha bolt xv950r not so popular like kawa and harley? looking at used motorcycle at mudah and group at facebook. they are rare. any reason for this?
*
The interests in cruisers , easy rider here is rather cold.

Not many buyers are keen.

That's why not many bike shops are stocking up cruiser bikes. even the popular Vulcan S is rare.

The Virago range is no longer in production, Virago has the 250cc version but is very rare in Malaysia.

The most common virago in Malaysia is the 535cc version which runs on an air-cooled V-Twin and is shaft driven.
In the late 90s.
I used to ride the most rare virago in Malaysia
Virago 400cc. CBU Japan. Costs about rm32k at that time. Heard there were only 10 units in msia.

You still own it?

no. sold it off in year 2000.
basically it's the same body as 535, just smaller engine, different signal lights, different rear lights, nicer looking rear mirrors, better chrome finishing (CBU) and comes standard with a rear back rest.

Ahhh, did you get a nice price selling it? Also, when you owned it, is it hard to get spare parts since it's so rare in M'sia?
*
i sold it for about RM15k.

Spare parts, other than the engine block, the pistons, etc. most of the mechanical parts are the same as 535.
but well, the bike didn't give me any issues. I just serviced and maintained it.

the only frequent problem was the caburator's leaking diaphragm. The rubber cracks easily. I changed it twice.

however if i want to replace parts such as the signal lights, rear mirrors...hard to get.
my rear mirrors got stolen. No choice i had to use the 535 mirrors as a replacement.
I remember i paid more than RM200 for it. after that i sandblast my number plate onto the mirrors. Hopefully this will deter it from getting stolen again.

Ohhh will be kind of hard to get ori CBU parts (unless go Japan sapu 2nd hand parts). The mirror getting stolen was a bummer, hazard of living in M'sia. Infested with lanun motor people steal EVERYTHING =.=

no joke
when i realised my side mirrors got stolen. I almost cried.

Or this. Benelli 752. Never understood why this isn't more popular. About same price with Vulcan, sounds many times more garang. Better brakes, handling and power.

Traditional cruisers are quite limiting. Forward foot pegs never worked for me ...too much weight on my bum..and coupled with short suspension travel, makes for an uncomfortable ride on anything but the smoothest of roads.

Not popular because it's china made ?( used to be Italian).

My close friend got rid his leocini in less than 2 years.
Horrible reliability. His daily bike to work. Fed up.

Friends with MForce bikes (TNT and Sym) are cursing non-stop with parts availability.
Having to pay first then wait maybe lucky in few weeks some upwards 3 months to get it while bike stranded in workshop.

Since seeing how they suffer, I had been ignoring all the bikes MForce carries regardless on how sexy how cheap their bikes are.

for the peace of mind
just go for Jap brands. especially if you rely on the bike for daily commute to work.
unless you have a few bikes in your porch.
