I think now the price is already lowered, and with some shops offer free 3boxes, it is already a great bargain... I think the new facelift version is not much different and the price probably will be higher than current one... I considered to buy one for daily commute before, too bad that I travel mostly highway and already used to 650cc cruising speed, so end up ditched my idea...

Finally, it's time to fully overhaul my bike @ 100k km... Was actually planning to do it by 120k km coz just done VC @ 80k km...But due to waterpump faulty 2-3 months back and radiator fluid went into engine, am forced to do it earlier... Some power loss, high fuel consumption, and 2 parts leaking EO...
Have actually been told that after overhaul, it would work as new... Anyone experienced this? I mean overhaul... To be honest, I really wish to keep this bike coz it ticks almost all of my checklist... So changing bike is really my last preference... If my bike can restore it's power and FC consumption, I will be more than happy to keep it for another decade or more...

Nope bro, VC done @ 80k last year.. That's why I plan to do top overhaul @ 120k.. These problem started right after done servicing my bike after EO went in engine.. Was told probably piston ring worn out coz EO mixed with coolant.. And since there are EO leakage at the bottom part (was told that part need to disassemble engine to replace the gasket) so I decide to just do a full overhaul.. Am just worried about durability and performance after overhaul since it's not cheap to service..

It's coolant went into engine.. all of it and plus I top up another 1L+ water... haha... When my bike stalled, 1st I check radiator.. I thought it dries out, so I refill back to full.. After letting it run for a while then saw the coolant gone again.. Then only realised all went into engine... Yeap, actually can just do top overhaul.. But as I said, there's leaking at the bottom part which requires to take off the whole engine, so if just do top means I need leave the bottom part leaking... Hence I just ask to do full overhaul la.. Price not too much different anyway...

Btw, bike is already 13years and clocking near 100k km... Guess it's about time?

Oh I think you misunderstood a bit bro.. the waterpump case already fixed.. Have flushed 3 times, then use cheaper EO let it run for 1k to be safe, then now already using my normal EO and already run for few around 4k. The bike is still running now, just that having power and fuel issue like I mentioned earlier..

LoLz... Seems like it was either you are too sensitive or there's something about you that triggered them... I rode my 650 for 2 years no such problem, and few days on my friends 1L bike also no problem... I don't see much reason anyone wanna race someone who ride gently...

Nope, still it's not doing things without any reason.. If you digest what I commented early..
1) Might be over sensitive - Because you're wearing full gear, you assume that everyone who speed around you trying to race you because you think they bias against your suit..
2) There's something about you that triggered them - Or maybe yes, they do make some assumption base on your suit, and that's what triggered them..

Anyway, I'm not trying to say that you should ditch your suit.. Just no need get offended and join them doing stupid things if these do occurs.. And some of the time, yes we triggered them without us realizing.. Examples that I have seen some bad habits of big bike riders are revving at the traffic light, aggressive pick up at traffic lights, overtaking others in high speed..

I know we wanted to have some fun with our bike sometimes, but I believe that there will be better occasions where there are less or no others present.. No need to show off what we can do in front of others.. For us, we see them as wannabees who wanna race us.. Vise versa, for them we are some arrogant show off fellas..

Totally agreed... And the least honorable thing to do is feel good for other's misfortune and brag about how good you or your ride performs...

Hello, since I know many sifus here always wear full gear, hopefully can get help here regarding riding jacket.. My cheapo jacket actually produce some very strong turbulence to the helmet, so I wonder what to look for in buying jackets ya? Planning to get original ones but budget at entry level maybe 5-6hundred? Current ones I don't know why deflecting wind into helmet probably thru neck roll.. Old helmet loose a bit, will shake.. New helmet fits nice, but then made my head shake pulak.. haha.. I've limited budget so scare if bought same prob then dunno need how long to have the budget again.. Thanks in advance..

You're right, I'm on naked ER6.. In that riding jacket, my head will start shaking once I go 150 and above.. But most of the times I wear my sports jacket no problem even at higher speed.. That's why I'm suspecting the riding jacket is the culprit.. But yeah, even if I asked my friends also they say jacket never affect helmet, that's why I'm blurred now.. Haha..

Its the cheapest copy Alpinestars that shop give free.. Both of the jackets fits tightly.. To be exact, very tight coz have gained a lot of weights during these MCO.. Haha.. Yeah, am aware at the legit protective it provide, that's why planning to get one soon.. Helmet also just have the budget early this year after 1year+ using cheapo China helmet... Anyway, as the previous bro replied, how big is the difference of adv jacket and race/sport jacket ya? I actually only wear for convoy or long trip, or maybe if just after rain when I go to work (midnight worker).. Daily ride I just wear my sport jacket.. Meanwhile I'll try Google 1st, haha...

LS2 Metro Evo.. Like I mentioned before, if wearing non riding jacket is no problem.. Further more helmet is very fit, hence I said it make my head shaking now... Coz the helmet can't wobble, it makes my whole head wobbles..The feel is like ppl pushing the neck roll...

Can't seem to find your model in Shopee... Anyway, just saw an adv jacket, but not much to my liking and looks like it's heavier? Maybe find one day go see physically and try out see how.. It's a bit over my budget so might need wait a while more...

The adv jacket is mesh actually.. Yea, am browsing in reputable shop, one of it is Motoworld.. Decided to go see the adv one see how.. If don't like then I can always go for others.. Anyway thanks a lot bro for the advices...

But then why does the problem doesn't occur when I'm wearing other jacket? Anyway, advice noted.. Am planning to get another lighter fullface for long ride when I have the budget anyway.. Will still start with a proper jacket 1st.. Thanks bro...


I've tried wearing it all the times, but the heat really unbearable for me.. So I just wear it when I'm going for ride with friends or long journey.. Hopefully if the new jacket not too bad then might wear it daily...

Up to date regretfully i choose no sweat... But like I said, if the new jacket is have good ventilation I'll be willing to wear all the time la...


My inner shirt is either cotton or polyester, but both same, feels very hot inside.. As for the helmet, luckily mine got many vents, so totally won't suffocate inside...

I'm not too sure, but I think mine is called textile jacket? Next I'll try the mesh and see how.. But since it's not a common prob for all, so I guess I'll just need to try and error la.. BTW, my model hard to find windshield nowadays d.. Saw some friends install universal type, but looks weird and don't match for my eyes... Haha...






To be honest, this helmet also not really 100% suits my head, think it's more to oval whereas mine is round.. I took one size up.. Very tight at 1st, after break in then feels fit d.. Unfortunately after went for one long ride, discovered that there's pressure at side of the head which made me forced to stop and rest after 2-3 hours as the uncomfort is really unbearable.. What I did was I trim the side of the foam padding by 1-2mm .. So far still ok la, but don't know how about longer rides...And also I need to adjust the helmet to certain position, else my chin will be touching the chin area or the helmet.. Even after adjust, if I talk or sing my chin will still be touching that part.. haha.. Anyway, it's still works well for daily ride with no major prob.. Only I think better find a lighter and better fit full face for long rides..

Woah, u really pay a lot attention on your own riding.. I didn't really noticed la, but naked bike is almost always slight lean forward.. I usually will hunch a bit la, but when I noticed I will correct myself to straighten up my back.. But never paid attention on which positions these occurs la.. So I guess after all it's just jacket character? Just try and error la, no choice.. But I guess adv jacket is the safest bet as mentioned by the 1st former who reply? Since both my jacket difference Is the material and collar only... Anyway, who else wears different jacket for different occassion ya? Good to have both sports riding and adv jacket?

Haha, unfortunately I'm running at the limit of my bike d.. pushed it to 70% everyday d.. push harder my bike need to go icu soon.. haha... Anyway, I do aware it's good to have full gear habit.. I've tried one whole month but it's really unbearable for me, so I end up back to comfort wears.. And secondly is really tight of budget due to current economic situation.. Tried the fake Komine riding pants, torn within a month.. So I told myself if buy sure go for ori next, which eventually not so soon la..

Yea, that's my average daily speed la coz mostly highway and I work midnight shift.. Was earlier thought of getting 250 only coz I blown my 150 kips engine.. After some small talk with the shop salesman, he told me I'll need at least 600cc onwards because I told him my average riding speed.. Also thankfully for his recommendation I end up getting this er6.. Else I think I've already blown another 250 engine.. Haha.. Anyway, the riding pants I mentioned is fake Komine ya, not the ori ones.. Don't get confused...
