fuel pump, or ECU.

sign of a weak battery, since the speedo restarted.

Penang where? Island? Mainland?

Which Taycon? Different branch different pricing.

What tyre you mau?
You can also aim ShengFatt discount, usually post on FB.
Or, Planet Cycle Glugor.

Or, buy from shopee and get them fitted with balancing.

Taycon got few. Paya Terubong, Farlim got 2, Bayan Baru, Relau...
Racingmate also deals tyres.

What bike are you after? New or used?

I don't know all of them. I've been to Masjid Negeri, Bayan Baru, and Paya Terubong one. Not the Farlim or Relau one. Generally, to me and some of my friends, they are good. Test bikes and ECU check no problem. Some other frens do tell me they are occasionally cold, means don't layan or let you test ride. I think it depends on the timing and workload.

I'd say find the one closest to your home or office, get to know their foreman and the quality of their work.

160 size? Cheap eh... I'll keep in mind.

Depending on what riding style you're looking for, among CB500F, Z650 and MT07, MT07 wins at speed, but comfort wise, I think Z650 wins. Which bike is your personal choice? Would it motivate you better to ride a bike that you like, vs the one you compromised for?

Riding school and JPJ exam requires us to stop with right foot on brake, and left foot down. Keep this in mind, so make sure you have no problem setting down your left foot. You can also consider some adjustments on a bike to make it lower.
