idk if the brand perception or the factory here is bad.

quite a numbers of Benelli RFS 150i (only for sale in Malaysia) are at the SYM Segambut. From the talk, there are a lot of unsolved problem.

Ive been riding Benelli TNT135 for close to 7 months now..so far I got:

- meter panel broken after 1 day out of shop - settled for warranty (2 weeks at SYM Segambut)
- just recently, my handle crown/bearing worn out! Not reach 1 year pun..malas settle warranty just ask kedai to buy sparepart to replace.

And to think that MForce has the audacity to add a couple of other brands to be under their wing here in Malaysia, it baffles me. They should focused on the current mass market that they have sold first, such as SYM and Benelli, improve after sales etc, before testing new market.

What do you guys think?

well rumours dont sprout out of nowhere. now you have experienced it urself. Hehe.

anyway i think benelli and sym have lot to catch up with brand perception. smile.gif

My TNT 135 is at 13200km, 1½ years. Some loose bolts, and recently wire to ECU rubbed out against the frame and started SMOKIN AWAY when I cranked the engine. It's located under the pillion seat and tucked too close to the frame.

Shd take a look at yours as I heard it's not an isolated case. Other than some minor issues, still a great bike at it's price point, I still use it frequently for my commute.

Had a chance to ride a Grom and a Z125 a couple weeks ago and I'll say the TNT is a far better bike in terms of the riding experience (imho) by comparison.

3. A clean "kain buruk"... you'll never know when you need it. You can fold it nicely and put it in the compartment underneath the rear seat.

mforce should definitely improve..

but looking at the current market.. those tht launch as fast as soon as possible should get a better market share...?

like gpx.. for example.. toktoktok frm last year til now.. almost 2019 liao.. biggrin.gif

brands like ymh, hl can afford to take own sweet time..

but for mforce.. mebe faster the better..

even honda tis year.. launch many models..

1. for good service i would say chan bikers (seksyen 15 shah alam). i always go there for services and find its really one of my favorite shop. the price also quite cheap especially for tyres. u can try experience it urself. im sure ure going to like it.

2. what kind of helmet? if u really keen for a good quality helmets for a good price (like sale or something) wait for motogp, should have a pretty good discount for helmets, jackets and gloves. as for rain coat givi should be my recommendation thou the price is a bit expensive.

3. proper maintenance. change ur engine oil as advise on the service manual. get a good engine oil for ur bike. its gonna be a tad expensive but it'll give u a peace of mind. generally just follow the manual stated. u'll be fine.

for helmet, im using HJC IS-17 i bought like 3 years ago and still serves me well. the price is a bit steep if no discount. but if u can get it for less than RM550 u'll be golden. (got mine for rm550 last time).

please check online first for fitting information. different maker has different fitting guides. if you happen to visit a shop (that sells helmet) but with no salesman (that can give proper fitting advice), you'll end up buying a wrong sizing helmet, hence no fun for the high speed riding. remember, most kedai is just selling helmet, they wont advice you for which and which.

that what had happened to me on my first helmet. end up selling it off and buy a new one. if you have ridden kapchai before, you can choose any helmet as per what you think the most beautiful to the eye, but not (semi/full) superbike. wrong fitting helmet will just not do it.

Yup, good advice. It's really no fun with a wrong fitting helmet at high speeds. Either it shakes like crazy or it restricts blood flow to your brain. Either way, it affects your riding and compromises your safety. Buying online is definitely risky as you don't get to try it on

Hi there guys, i left the bike scene more than 5 years ago. But now feeling the itch to be back in the scene.

I dont have b full but wishing to get one.
Previously owned bikes tzm, zxr 250, rgx, 125z, vs125 and lc 135.

Since im out of touch with current bikes, any recommended bike to look for at below 50k which is nimble and light handling but with power.

Thankss guys
