Teng kiu TS.

ok.. owait

Versys 650 year 2011 here......hoping soon to be Versys 1000 2015, if the price is right...muahahahah

eh eh, new thread? yea...

old TS sure is very lazy. puik at old TS




oh wai!

Where is SUZUKI?

fu luci

the moment when one realizes the v3 TS is oneself

@farique Park here.. My bike now I guess (Oi! Give all your attensyun to meee!!)..

Done. Hahaha.. definitely an attention seeker she is.

Yesterday TD. Its been so long since my last crashed on track

sweeet... what a beaut!

Crashed? what happened?

The rsv4 looked like a mini bike from a far.. ahaha






Cc: Taman_Linkin

I crashed my R1 during TD quite long ago. Overtaking at corner
1 of my friend also riding rsv4 with newly fitted SC short can yesterday. The v4 sounds like motogp

Pls dont crash this one ... pls ...

how much per session for trackdays over there? You based in Doha am I right?

Ya.. Sc can shorty sure loud as fuk. Idling alone is pure attention seeker. Haha

Hopefully no
Another friend riding 1098s lost control and crashed into gravel. Slight damaged.
My gopro flown off yesterday. Got it back from race control in many broken pieces

Yeah in Doha. About RM550 plus 300 for membership.
Another 500 refundable deposit for transponder

why dont you share some of your riding clip

Not like our SIC got so many photographers. Only from some phone video and camera

wow so garang

fuu... night ride!

checking in

Fuuu.. night trackday. Owait, change to tracknight. Haha.



40degrees during night? Pretty hot..

Hows them supercorsas? Gooding?

Night track day. Not many circuit doing this

Belanja some photos and experience

Its damn hot evening. I can do only 5-6 laps at once. Scared of dehydrated.
I cant get it work at the beginning. Lower down a bit the pressure before really enjoying kneedragging
I need to revert back to 190 for rear or get my traction control recalibrate for 190 tyre. But having 200 at rear is real gooding at corner

U video ur td?

They returned my gopro in broken pieces
Have only some short video at corner.

Im running on 180 rear, so far suite me well. Maybe because im a xxs build, 52kg only.

I guess you are riding R1. Which year model? 180 is not the specs but ok if can suits you well. Im on 190/50 for my 06

I don't have a photo of me riding as I have no gopros or what. And I'm using this bike to commute daily to and fro work. no TD experiences whatsoever
I'm still learning due to this being my first bike ever

Fuh... First bike S1000RR
How is it commuting on an SS? Mind sharing your experience

gl0be.iv how much $$ for service maintanance? is it same like others 4 inline?

Nice thread

its already been 2 month since last crash.

safety gear all the time bikers.

haha all because of kena racun bro
commuting on an SS is ok. it does get tiring due to the crouching position and due to me putting too much weight on the wrist.
but worst is during traffic jam. the heat from the engine does get unbearable but I'm wearing riding boots so it doesn't affect me much.
lane splitting during traffic jam is not a problem as the bike is not that bulky & not that heavy, but I do get stuck sometime if there is not enough clearance for the bike.

my first service was at s4m motorsports in jalan pahang, and costed me as much as RM339 for EO, Oil Filter & labour charges & gst oh gst
the EO used was maxima extra4 15W-50 fully synthethic (4 litres) costing as much as RM60/bottle. Th oil filter was an aftermarket one, HiFlo costing RM60.
I do think it's the same as other inline4.

but the sparepart for the bike is the one to look out for

Nice bike
What exhaust is that?

Exhaust also tercabut. No spring connected?
Is that you sitting on the pavement? GWS bro

he has a colorful history of sort



but he's a strong one. always gets up on his knees and never ditch riding

But truly bikers kental

planning to buy a bike, just started going to driving school for full B...
is er6n manageable for a newbie? been riding kapcai for my whole life...

it's a custom one
I'm planning to change back to stock exhaust as advised by brother sam from the workshop.
due to the fact that after changing the exhaust, my bike seems to be semput at low rpm. the bike even died when idling at traffic light.
the afr is probably the culprit and I'll change to a full system exhaust when I have the money.

Ask Luci. He know better about er6

I just feel that even the look also can tell something
It is always better to stick to OEM than changing to something you didnt know the performance output.
For your bike, save money not for slip on but for a full system.

yes true that. just have to endure the inner devil and settle for the stock sound
I'm looking at akra's shorty evo or arrow competition evo

the gasket inside mid pipe pecah already. nope , no spring attached.

haha yeap . the fukin guy standing front of me is the one who cause all of this.

3 times only still cannot make it into movie yet

Trust me, er6 just like the name suggest, Easy Ride, is quite easy to learn

N i m from an automatic scooter before, never had any gears nor clutches

The bike is forgiving as u can still ride from standstill at 3rd gear

It has plenty of low end torque to make anyone happy

Just dont join convoys or trackdays as the er6 is not a superbike. riding above 140-160kmh is not what the bike was designed for. It will surely lose against 600cc supersport and even a modified lc135 can easily tapaw u

But what the heck, i ride because its fun. If i want speed, id take the plane instead.

Yes, get the Er6 that has made big biking affordable for everyone. Please be prepared to spend some money on protective apparel as well. This is a must for big bike. Its an easy and forgiving bike. Enjoy man.....its a joy...

hahaha.. i like the way you describe!!

thanks for the info...

hmm.. it is time to go look for 1 ady haha

ER6 can go up to 160 only?
talking about modified LC135, one just tapaw me when I was riding at 160 last week. I think he ride at 170..

the 650cc parallel twin can certainly go beyond 200 but u wouldn want to do that on an er6n. Maybe with the faired er6f

Wind resistance is insane and thenvibration will make ur wrist numb

Spare 2 - 3 k for good riding gear

Its more fun to ride a slow bike fast than it is to ride a fast bike slow

Well, most ppl think otherwise

I believe u can have more fun at full throttle with250cc ona track rather than fearing ur own life on a litre bike

Betui ... that feeling of "ha ... max dy ah ... cannot pulas animore ah ..."

Well, speeding is very subjective. If you are an ER6 why wanna chase a super sport bike. Doesnt make sense. Thats why some Er6 last time had broken block and so on. Ride in group, so kena racun from other bikers...also dont want to come in last lah....so tekan the bike....

Me on a Versys 650 with windshield and all also damn hard to maintain 160 for long.....ideal is like 140.... ingatlah orang tersayang.....but if riding to Thailand, then full speed ahead....the early dicks get the best chicks...LOL....happy Wednesday morning guys...

early dicks gets the best chicks

man that cracked me up to start my morning

dafuq

LOLOLOLOL

is it original or hot & spicy chicks?

Original chicks lah bro.....tak main lah modified or enhanced chicks.....LOL.....

Riding up north, I kena a tank slapper once @ 170 ish. Lucky i recover else

Winrar

Tank slapping is a worse nightmare. Quite a problem with my Duc. Exit from corner, hard blast and it will happen. I guess the rebound and damping setting.

i had early experience with tank slap

luckily damage was minimal. wearing jacket and gloves and full face helmet helped avoid any injuries, not even scratches. just bruised nerve...

How it happened?

Yup, and steering damper setting too.

The feeling of loosing control of the bike in an instant

a slight indentation on the road started the wobble

then the handlebar starts to sway right and left and wobble forcefully until you cannot resist and have to let go

i was a noobie at that time, 6 month ride experience. the wobble can be easily controlled by doing the opposite - loosening your hand grip and control the bike with hips on the tanks

i did the exact opposite

i was on low speed (less than 100km/h) so i can definitely feel each wobble and try to counter it (which is the wrong thing to do)

LOL

newbie error. a bent handlebar, a damaged side cowling and a bruised ego, apart from damaged glove and jacket.

repair is cheap. rm 150+ for the cowling, rm 70 for the handlebar. the sticker is bloody expensive. rm40 for a small piece, which i delcined to do.

and there's the dented fuel tank, which i never bothered to repair as a reminder to myself


later take pics of the dented fuel tank. just pasted yellow sticker on it to prevent rusting. LOL

Now I remember your old post about the damaged
But less than 100kmh and tank slap

can join next trip ? :kening:kening:

Done with many setup. I let all front settings to stock now.

well, that's what it a lucky newbie mistake.

never expected it to happen at that speed also

Lucky i read twist of the wrist I+II

Tank slap > 100kph.

i downloaded it before i got my bike but never read it cos i was having too much fun riding the bike everyday to office last time

now want to get 100km per month also susah

Slow n steady le ... read it if you can, very informative ... at least to me.

Ride on friend.

Its also in utube. Much easy

To all the bros out there, anyone owns a kawa z250 here? I would like know which exhaust would be your choice?

I have no idea which 1 should I choose. Two brothers or Akrapovic? Few people recommended me akra. But to me, akra is too popular. Wanted to go for two brothers, but not sure if it sounds nice (not according to video from youtube ofcourse, in real life).

Would appreciate for the recommendations. Cheers

During my time only ada buku ... darn difficult to find summore ...
Me old fag

Original? I think go with whichever has the look as the sound is more less the same...

Yup, original. Which 1 would u choose then? wanna know what the majority choose.

if original just choose yg mana u suka, both has gooding look n more or less same sound. if me, i choose tbr, cuz i dah ada akra. lel

I heard TBR has got issues when the screws at the tip of the exhaust. Apparently some will loosen and fall off over time. I too like the TBR sounds. For me it sounds deeper. But beware....tons of fakes out there...

mind share what is the good riding gear?

got so many , search for high end one

good full face helmet - rm 800 - 1k

good armored riding jacket - rm 500 - 1k

riding boots - rm 200 - 500 (w/proof if possible)

riding gloves - rm 200 - 500

that's the min you can go

then rain gear - waterproof bags and rain suit - get a rain suit 1 size bigger so you can wear it over your riding jacket

if ur budget is tight, go for replica first. at least better than nothing. but never skimp on the helmet.

where is the drill of your tank? haha....
