mt09, decided to bite the bullet, give it a shot... its actually fairly manageable even with my limited exp riding.

took a 3 min test run on it, and im now one ear deaf... cause its exhaust is basically a straight pipe, thank god he kept the old exhaust, will probably revert to the stock pipe.

v3, i tend to buy really old things, this time decided to get something relatively new and under warranty.

btw about bikes, service intervals i have been getting very different responses
- some say can service sendiri no issue with waranty
- some tell me big bike must go back to taikong (kinda far away)
- many tell me the exhaust wont cause troubles when servicing, just that kalau nak claim warranty kene swap balik
- some say service intervals ikut milage not duration (e.g. ikut 5k, x kira how many bulan)

havent contacted the service centre to get more details... got to find a yamaha sc that can deal with bigger bikes nearer to my place

- some say can service sendiri no issue with waranty
* not the case with kawasaki. id assume yamaha is the same as u need to chop the book.

- some tell me big bike must go back to taikong (kinda far away)
* any authorised service center should be fine. keyword - authorised

- many tell me the exhaust wont cause troubles when servicing, just that kalau nak claim warranty kene swap balik
* correct. they can see the exhaust as a cause to void warranty. so hopefully u have a full system that can just be swapped back to stock instead of welding back the stock midpipe - muffler

- some say service intervals ikut milage not duration (e.g. ikut 5k, x kira how many bulan)
* generally its both ie whichever comes first. but...up to u. if bike still under warranty, suggest u follow what the book says if u wanna maintain ur warranty.
safest way is always by the book. not by word of mouth. when in doubt, refer book. if book not enough details, refer to ur nearest authorised service center.

im abit confused... owners told me 5k... checking the service manuals, 10k pulak, anyway not too worried daily also i think 1 tahun i wont reach 5k so, tukar je lah.

can i check this at any sc or just the one the owner sent it to?

what oil viscosity did you use on the R25?

left my keys on the r25 more than 10x so far... havent gotten it stolen yet (inb4 noone wants the r25)

but he encountered a spontaneous rotating assembly disassembly caused by most probably some form of metal fatigue failure when the conrod/piston decided to leave the block.

If uve ever ridden with him before ull know its not luck

Lol

No

Eh what? I thought your conrod flew out of your engine lol. It seized?

Damn that's some crazy failure mode. I demand detailed pictures of said conrod.

Did you reflash/increase the rpm limit?

u flatout redlined the thing ka??

or...... typical r25 issue, your oil pump gears worn to nothingness?

How was the Motul 7100 relative to others that you’ve tried?

Everything feels more exciting when you max everything out at the edge of its handling. Even if you are on a kapchai.

It's more exciting to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow.

Limits on a litre sportsbike...well try hitting it. You'd be doing some real silly speeds and having a death wish.

Where is the fun in riding a fast bike slow?

supersports where got liter its 600 owai

How many bikes you guys have? I've got 1. I want to add another 1 because #hoarder

. And you don't need to be at 4000-5000rpm, for general cruising, 2000-3000rpm is good enough especially if you want to save fuel.

, below 4000rpm most of the time. 2000rpm change gear then cruise in 6th above 60kmh all the way. And it does makes a really noticeable difference in fuel consumption.

there were those that has been using proton oil filters on their z250 for over 50k km and still runnng fine.

Mine is 1 year, not sure about the 150cc one

old syllabus drum brake = rear lagi kuat dari depan
disc brake another story

Noob question: how do you know the tire is warm or not? I only thought it matters only to slick tires.

Just curious, are there actually any women biker group around? Can introduce? Cause I feel like it’s something that I have always wanted to learn and ride my whole life and if I don’t do it, I think I’m going to regret it for not doing it later in my life. So I wanna start somewhere…

Wow I didn’t know taking licenses also need to queue these days?
