With your boxes full, how would you secure your expensive / sexy looking helmet if you decide to stop at R&R for a short nap?

I would imagine take out something from box and put the helmet in, before going to a bench or somewhere for a short nap?

yeah was thinking of this option too..

Tried many types, wanted to share all the types here but been forgetting and lazy to take photos.

- Those with strings attached silicon plug, the plug may get dislodged from it's perfect position in ear when you put on your helmet. Need special care on where the strings are before you put on helmet. On long ride it hurts the ear 'cos it's a bit hard.

- Those roll type, not all are equal.

The best I had found, and using is this. Bought a load of them. Usually reuse few times before I throw away for new one, when the sponge effect weaken.

You mean this?

Well, I think you can put on your helmet, take a chop stick slide in between your ear hole and helmet, then try poke and make a dent in the helmet foam as a marker.. that should be your center spot.

else just agak agak and pray to whatever god....

else just go buy a Shoei or HJC

Wah.. really go by the book.

I like it.

I have spotlight too knowing the law doesn't allow, but my safety comes first.

I adjusted it to make sure it's optimum, not blinding on coming vehicles, yet give me enough coverage where my headlight lacks.

I will turn it on when I am filtering through heavy traffic, or ride at night / in the rain. Otherwise, it remains off.

Hey guys.

My friend just got a used Versys 650, mint condition.

Previous owner have installed 2 spotlights and 1 charger. Wiring looks messy but not like spaghetti mess lah.

Do you all know any shop around Subang area that is willing to take out all the wiring for accessories, re-arrange and re-run them?

Wiring is something he hated most

Guys, any spotlight to recommend? Or cincai buy any will do.

Want yellow mostly.

and, why people install 2 pairs of spotlight?

I ride at night through hutans and bukits without streetlight.

Thanks a lot.

How about wiring and switch?
I will try to DIY and see if I can open up the fairings of the damn scooter.

Will consider the wireless switch option.

I don't like toggle mode. Prefer direct mode either I get white or yellow per my previous bike's installation.

Will look up options with wireless switch.

Thanks!

Found this spotlight wiring with wireless switch for RMB75 (~MYR48) only.

Sorry somehow I can't upload photo after pressing the "upload image" button.

Gonna order one.

No.

I had no bike license and never rode a bike my entire life of nearly half century.

3 years ago I decide to check off this mid life crisis and go for it. I took Full B.

I have height advantage at 182cm.

I had also spent more time at learning school to practice, that’s on top of the compulsory hours. I keep going back at weekends to practice before my exam.

Those practice days with heavy bikes made me realize what I should get after I got my license. Scooter.

Advantage of full B at learning school is number of learners are just a handful to compete with the available bike at learning school.

Don’t be afraid to fail and had to retake. Count this as blessing so you can clock more hours of practice. Every hour of learning you will gain more sense with riding and contribute to your safety awareness.

Just go do it and don’t think so much.

Get your license first.

Figure out if you like shifting gear or not while handling big bikes.

Figure out if you ride for the thrill of speed with bugs in the teeth, or, to enjoy scenery ride comfortably no brain power needs to change gear match speed at difficult bends.

Easy ride, scooter.

Easy ride get on off, walkthrough scooter like Vespa, Vario.

Easy ride with long range capability, maxi scooter with large fuel tank and large storage below seat. Plenty in this category that's quite capable.

The process of taking license is the same for B or B2.

If you have none right now, suggest just suck it go for full B.

Rather than B2 then have to repeat the process to go full B.

Stop analysing, just go driving school ask the process, and ask tell them your concern if you are able to handle the big bike. They will / should have lower seating big bikes if you think you cannot handle.

Yep. I handled this pretty well, after I learnt how to gear shift the big bike... down up up up down down down half up.
That half up to neutral always caught me

But clutching never an issue, just follow the rhythm like driving manual car.

I was having a lot of concern and reserves going from my heavy ADV160 (at 125kg) to ADV350 (at 185kg). Told myself just suck it, force myself to sell away the 160 after I get the 350.

Force myself to ride the bigger heavier 350 around and voila, 1 week plus I was zooming up and down Loke Yew / Kuching during peak hour land filtering with confident.

Can still be heavy to push around to park but found ways to overcome this. Just sit on it and use my leg to push.
