QUOTE(skyblu3 @ Jun 12 2017, 12:50 PM) Yours got downshift sticky issue? It's quite a common issue with Vulcan # and Versys. Mine starting to have this issue. Not yet. Spring problem? Down shift to first gear and the gear shifter will stay at the down position. http://www.vulcanforums.com/forums/130-vul...hift-pedal.html Further reading seems to point at bent shift rod and spring. It's external stuff but uea there's no universal fix for that, have to point to kawasaki parts. Sure outside shop can do the job This post has been edited by PedangGila: Jun 12 2017, 06:51 PM |

QUOTE(skyblu3 @ Jun 12 2017, 09:15 PM) Outside shop can fix it... But estimated rm600+ for kit. I think ia have an extra because i changed to reduce reach set so i have a a mid reach seat, handle bar and that shift rod. RM50 include post and it's yours, the rod only lolMy bike still has 1 year warranty. Maybe I'll just bring it to kawasaki... But have to sacrifice one day leave, damn. |

QUOTE(D'cruise61 @ Jun 19 2017, 09:44 AM) I just serviced mine as well. Silkoline Fuch full synthetic RM70x2, Oil Filter Kawa ori-RM50. Btwmy mechanic recommend service every 3,000km. I tot its every 5,000km? The reason or the hook if you may that our country is hot so the oil got spoiled earlier so service gap should be earlier than recommended because of severe conditions. I did mine around 4.6k km so the next I'll do 10k km but really it's your bike, up to you. |

Our local reviewer again confirmed that riders below 1.7m tall will feel slight discomfort riding Ducati XDiavel, Ducati's own sport cruiser. My dream over getting one finally sealed off because I only stand at 1.66m the most. Need to add at least 5 inch on both hands and feet to enjoy it. At 160k is already a luxury price for a bike.

QUOTE(D'cruise61 @ Jun 20 2017, 04:19 PM) A quick browse thru mudah says it's rm40 for a full synth which is a bargain really compared to my current Motul 7100. Rm45 also okay. Expensive doesnt mean the best but when I tried 300v on my stock myvi boy the engine is loving it really but got people say it's not suitable for long distance use. Got people flushed the oil only after a few stints at Sepang. Also ready thru otjer forum some poeple went 6000miles or close to 10k km for an oci. |

QUOTE(D'cruise61 @ Jun 29 2017, 03:57 PM) Since you are on Motul, how is the oil performance? I feel that Silkolene seems to blacken too fast and a bit thin. Maybe next change I will switch to Motul and see how is perform compare to Silkolene. I read some forum commenting that 300V is more for racing and more expensive. Hmm, before this I dont know what oil being used as I was not present or told what went in so i can't tell the differences between. Mechanic guessed its the same oil but he wasn't sure either because no record existed on first oil change. Yea I will try other oil too in the next change. |

QUOTE(chinti @ Jul 3 2017, 04:30 PM) sorry mind if i hijack ur thread? i dun think its necessary for a new thread about same question. Quite afew review by Malaysian since 2013 I think for keeway. 250cc air cooled well depends la but for me I prefered water cooled. Got a guy said HD when you stops at traffic light the heat from engine rose and bbq you slowly but water cooled also will get active blowing out the heat. From keeway review I think it's okay la, not much problem. The bike even got fb group so help yourself in. For the budget brand new and for beginner I highly recommended.i have a normal B2 license so i cant ride anything above 250cc, im looking for a cruiser below RM15k due to im not sure whether will i like riding bike or not as so far i only ride those kapcap b4 only. just wanted to get one for weekends ride. im currently looking at daelim daystar 250 and keeway dorado black knight, both are within my budget but i couldn't find much review or info about them. anyone know whether they are good bike for beginner? |

QUOTE(chinti @ Jul 4 2017, 09:03 AM) found some review from malaysian rider but it seems like daelim baystar got better review. and the keeway tend to hv more vibration when reach 120kmph Vibration will be always there. Try vulcan 250.was checking around for prices from different dealer and somehow realized i prefer the look of cruisers tht r similar to vulcan s, harley davidson 48 or honda rebel. they r out of my budget and need full B license tho, are there any bike within my budget that look like those? dun mind used bike |

QUOTE(chinti @ Jul 4 2017, 01:54 PM) for B full i can just take the upgrade class right instead of taking everything again which cost more? dun have to go through the undang2 and the rest d. Have to pay (depends on driving school/promotion the price). No law class/exam (part 1) but you have to attend class for 4 hours I think for part 2 and 3 to learn/practice the skills that will be in the test. After that 6 hours minimum solo practice/training. |

Rebel is slimmer, shorter in length and wheelbase, lighter than Vulcan S and slightly higher ground clearance 6mm than later. Vulcan s got 14 litre gs tank vs 11ish rebel but in my experience i usually topup about 9L fuel for vulcan s. Rebel might has shorter distance but fc depends a lot on the rider/driver habit.

QUOTE(D'cruise61 @ Aug 1 2017, 09:53 AM) My vulcan S suddenly stalled on me while riding. However, was able to restart without problem. Wondering if anyone you u vulcan riders here ever experience the same problem. 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. |
