it's 1.5k no need kaya-raya to afford
some ppl go shopee buy accessories for 2~3k that does nothing

I have 4 spotlights + 2 DRL on my D400, yesterday I went thru a JPJ traffic stop. they just ask me to continue ~ My DRL was always on but spotlights off so I guess it depends. Also my spotlight are pointing downwards near areas where my main lights can't see.

hi all, what's your take on modenas versys 650? heard that its locally assembled, will it make you think its less reliable than a CBU unit?
one thing i dislike bout the versys is that it sounds like a lawn mover and its only 62hp for a bike that size

I am looking for a middle weight bike for long distance and with good exhaust note - not willing to change exhaust (3/4 cylinder) with a budget of 45k or abit more.  placed order for the CB650R but it looks like it will never arrive and likely end of production by this year. I dont mind a naked bike for long distance ride ( i like feeling like a parachute haha)

currently looking at
1. Versys 650 - hate the exhaust note, but its cheap,

2. Triumph sports 660 - cost more than cb650r, trying to avoid conti bikes because parts are alot more expensive and hard to get parts whenever needed. (that's what i have been told so dont beat me for it please.)

3. MT - 09 - alot lot more than cb650r but it has a sweet exhaust note inline 3. but the power is too much for me to handle, me scared, dislike the mt 07 feel on the road, suspension feels too soft.

to end it what i am prioritizing is good exhaust sound and a smooth ride(less vibration) and also a more upright position bike

XJ6 Diversion how ah?
Nightstalker1993 can comment?

I wonder what is the differences between a Sport Touring (ST) tyres and a Grand Touring (GT) tyres in term of the construction.

From what I gather off the net, a GT tyres' sidewall is reinforced and they are suitable for big and heavy bike such as Goldwing, RT, GTR1400. Not sure how true is that.

forgot about that
I'll find the spare unit and measure the resistance

let's just say even y15 overtook me on highway
both
always change as set
more like due to my riding style
my dunlop (or dp?) brake pads installed back in 2015 with mileage 45k
my did x-ring at 87k
now I'm at 210k with both still in use

that's y i beg to differ when ppl said riding big bikes (if 650 included lol) costs a lot

My old bike is 1993 XJ600 ler, very different than XJ6 diversion. Mine is air cooled and down 20hp compared to the Xj6. In terms of vibrations, my xj600 is buttery smooth compared to my Katana which vibrates like hell above 6000rpm.
If you do more commute then definitely get sport touring tire. I replaced my rear with Bridgestone T32, hopefully I can actually use it finish instead of getting another stupid puncture.

Anyway, yesterday dropped by serdang motorcycle and coincidentally they had a customer's zx25r with a slip on exhaust and damn that's the best sounding bike I've heard in person. 17500rpm sounds so sweet.

Yeah the Katana below 6000 very well mannered, but above that it transforms into a different beast. 9000rpm the pull is bullish.
Bunyi jer macam laju, tapi x brp laju pun

Yamaha Tenere finally coming to MY after dunno how many years since launch for RM70k 

any advantage of using ron97 for your engine?
like less vibration, smoother, etc.
want to try 97 but the price also just increased recently 

And lighter wallet.  Improve power to weight ratio.

this is me personally. ymmv.
z250 2023, half way to jb had to fill my tank. been using ron95 beforehand and just for the heck of it I filled 97. I'm the kinda that constantly cruises at 140kmh and the difference is quite significant in terms of vibration.

ATGATT bro. No squids here

Anyway, ended up doing my Frasers hill - Bentong trip and it was a pretty nice ride. Roads were much more empty than I expected. Thought it would be crowded at Frasers hill but we even managed to squeeze in tk snap a pic at the clock tower.

What's better than a Katana? TWO Katanas!

12 liters saja. 1 tank can go 150-200km depending on how you ride and the engine is 1000cc

T700 our local pricing macam bodoh sangat la. That price got so many choices

An Aprilia SR GT200 (*cough*actually 174*cough) is right down your alley. Normal one, not the sport one.

Heading out to Bali for a 10 days ride and camp around Bali.


Brought the held shopee riding boots with some upgrade to the insole. The original ones aren't comfortable.


Rented this Honda Vario for the first 3 days.
Traffic in Bali is horrendous. Even on a scooter it's slow.


Did a Kastam declaration and brought 2 helmet from Malaysia.
People ask why me bring a helmet to indon? Can't rent? No helmet for sell?

Well my helmet is comfortable. My helmet doesn't smell. My helmet has good airflow. My helmet has clear visor. My helmet has water repellent coating. My helmet has intercom. My helmet has speakers for turn by turn navigation. My helmet doesn't leak in the rain.

Yup.

Tak kena tax pun at indo side.
I did customs declaration beforehand and there's no part for helmet so I just gave them the qr and they let me off.

I think its due for a change right? first time changing moto tyre, dunno which to get for size 160
as for the front uneven thread wear, any idea why is it only one sided? from the looks of it i turn alot more on one side.  :confused:
