Any idea when the new 2018 Kawasaki ninja 250 will be available in Malaysia?

I've searched some parts of lowyat before, but many of the posts are years ago. Any sifu can recommend a shop that sells motorcycle gears? Original products and what not (as I know there are some imitates).

Thoughts on MotoGear ? Thanks

Thank you sir. I was initially sceptical about the Dainese shop, but thanks ! Also, Do you happen know any shops that sells Shark or LS2 helmets? Apart from Motogear haha.

Thank you sifu.

Oh, that's sweet ! I apologize in advance If my questions are a little silly, but do you reckon there'll be "promotional prices" for gears (cheap gears) during motogp ? If so, Will there be many vendors (like the above mentioned shops) during the event ?

Any sifus here can advice regarding KTM vs Modenas after service and spaceport availiability? Mainly the Duke 200 vs Dominar 400.

Stupid question here , where do I stick my L LICENSE sticker? Is there like a requirement (eg one in front one at the back?). Any one can suggest creative ideas on how to stick behind of the bike when there's no platform to stick to lol

Haha

It's a 2018 r25. I decided to just slap the L on the tail andend front wheel guard (if that's what it's called) lol.

I believe it has been 2-3 years since it was release and malaysia has yet to bring it in. A discussion here in LYN, mention that it may never happen due to some unapproved specs or some sort

As some mentioned above , the 2018 ninja 250 (now comes with abs and non abs version) or the R25 (2018 or 2019 ones). I honestly find both to be similar, though I can't give a detailed comparison as I myself just started riding the r25, I'd say the r25 has better handle than the ninja in terms of weight and height , but the differences are pretty minute. You can also consider second-hand ninja 250 which are models before the 2018 ones.

Can Google around and see, but here's what I can summarize (not fully detailed)

2018 R25
Pros :
- cheaper than the ninja by rm5-6k (comparing brand new to brand new unit)
- "claimed by many" to have more aftermarket parts , modding parts are easily found online
- easy handling (lighter weight than the ninja)
- claimed by many to be the best performing bike in the 250cc bike category
- includes all the necessary parameters on the lcd screen up to date (the new 2019 model will be using full digital screen, including the rpm meter)
- easier to get parts (kawasaki is also said to be the same) compared to some other brand

Cons:
- bloody headlight is one sided , high beam will only turn two lights on.
- a few recalls , but thankfully I havent kena any
- heard not every slip on can be used on them due to the connecting area towards thea ccatalytic converter (have to recheck on this, I was told by some)
- limited colour , though still not bad
- No abs , even on the newer models
- normal brakes , nothing fancy
- tyres are nothing special , some have said it causes slipping while cornering though I've never experience it yet . But no biggie can always change



I can't give you the details pertaining to the ninja 250 but you can Google and comparea the specs they're more or less the same , but many have said new improvements have been made on the ninja. The above list is just what I've experienced and heard from, they're not complete nor are they 100% true (there may be some vague points which needs further reconfirmation)

Also , any idea where KTNS motor is from? I've googled and very few details pertaining to tihis company, I was told it was China ? Lol

No wonder haha , I do have to admit their screen cluster is way nicer than KTM's 200-250 range bikes, not too sure about reliability though. Thanks bro.

Thanks for clarifying. I'm still relatively new haha. About the aftermarket parts, I meant the "non performance and merely aesthetic" parts. But yes, you're right ! I've only seen bikeempire selling one full system for r25, not many varieties, while motodynamics does akra and sc (expensive af and limited varieties).

Edit: the new 2019 model now comes with LED and no longer single headlamp damn.


What bike are you currently using ? I'm assuming a zx6r? Haha .

Beautiful piece right there. The zx6r is my dream bike !

Hi SIFUs, any one knows the current situation for importing/shipping in a helmet from overseas? Or the procedure. The helmet I aiming at is ECE and DOT certified.

I see , any idea what rating the "something something" 2.2 is? I've never heard of that before haha. Yeah, the helmet I was eyeing for isn't available here in Malaysia, it's the limited edition Ruroc Atlas Ronin , comes with free smoked visor. Any idea whether the 10% tax is still going on ? Coz if the cost exceeds 4k and whatnot, then it's not worth it haha

I see, thanks sifu for thethe guidance. I was thinking of using a third party shipping company instead but not too sure whether can escape or not.

Touche. Thanks bro for the advice .

Motogear in Batu Caves.

Motorbike dealership shop has them too. Some, like Welly, has a wide range of second-hand bikes with low mileage and decent price.

Silkolene vs Petronas Sprinta , any reviews on these brand ? Or are they more or less the same
