Using g310r from Jalan Ipoh to Bangi and sometimes KL office. First month was trouble as didn't know how to drive above 40 while lane splitting. But biggest problem to date is kapchai continously racing with me. Guys you are young I am 40 plus. I damn care about anything in my age.

very different frm india?

i feel you, on riding Versys and kena kapcai tailgate everyday, even my speed already at 60km/h on standstill traffic jam.

sifuuuu

It's a big bike, fall under sports touring category same like Versys 1000 but still practical for daily usage. It's slim body & not very heavy in weight, nimble enough to do lane filtering. My daily route consist of traffic jam areas like Hospital Serdang - IOI Putrajaya, Puchong - PROTON Shah Alam, LKSA up until Shah Alam city centre to the office. Going home via bike lane Federal Highway, NPE, Connaught Highway & Cheras Kajang Highway, you can imagine about cars , lorries & mopeds using the route.

650 should be enough for highway, no worries on that.

erksss... hai tracerian!

Perhaps the 1800cc HD and Goldwings ... double displacement mah

I did lane filtering with HD electra Glide even ride on the Federal Highway motorcycle lane.. .. car give way since its a big presence of a bike... just dont go to Downtown KL, or George Town where the road small and narrow..

Forgot.. Bangkok too..

Yes bro, there auto rickshaw {tuk tuk} have the right to lane split. Bikes are expendable.

Cars give way because scared we Ter scratch their car panel or win mirror. I ride with side boxes every day through the kl traffic. Cars usually will open up more lane when they hear me coming.

A few just ignore or purpose close the lane smaller.
This type, a few times I will just ride through scraping my box against their car panel or side mirror. I remember one Singapore car e-class kena.
Opppps.

Lol.

Pls don't spoil our image la, dah la got sidebox pls stay behind cars

I too ride with side box and top case to work. At first you need to get use to the width of the bike but once used to it you can just lane split like a kapchai.

There are times when cars do open up a lane for me to pass and there are also those who ignores me. If I cannot pass will just try to stop at the next available place to let other pass. I won't scratch other ppl's car as I would not want others to do the same to mine

Ignoring I'm still ok. Maybe they are not aware of couldn't hear me because blasting the music inside the car.

But not that bugger who purposely close the gap.
That one kena use that Singapore car, purposely close the gap and give me the "try to ride through if you dare" look. Purposely close the gap . Traffic jam that time.

Usually if I cannot pass through due to road being narrow, for example on mrr2 with the on going road construction, I will just follow behind cars even in traffic jam.

daily rider here. im using 2005 zx6rr so its a big and heavy bike. well as for traffic jam, the heaviest i kena is when i was from kajang to shah alam. it was so jam i was stuck for like half and hour and my thigh was freaking painful from the heat of the bike.

other than that, i would say if its really jam, i dont encourage ppl to ride big bikes. i rode it last time because i was going to service my bike and holy hell it was not pleasant at all. i was wearing full face helmet, a mash jacket, a thick 19 oz jeans and a boot and i was sweating like hell. i stopped at the petrol station for a while to keep my bike cool down a bit and re hydrate myself back since i was feeling dizzy because of the excessive sweating.

so yeah, if its just a normal traffic jam i would still be okay and i could handle the heat but if its a very heavy traffic, then u better stop and cold down or turn back and find other alternative road.

Depend on location. Some have heavy traffic, medium or mild. Me from puchong to brickfield so far ok, as i use NPE route. But when reach bangsar have to extra careful especially when i put in side pannier. Sometimes i take off panniers so cilok2 get easier

OEM panniers usually not wider than handle bar. So used it as a gauge. After market varies since they produced 1 size fit all concept

That e class might not hear you. As much as I agree loud exhaust saved live, modern car bangsawan level has a good noise cabin insulation. So I usually cilok to the other side because one side close is one other side open.

Like I said.
I'm ok if they are not aware.

But this bugger look at me , ignore.. and then move forward a bit but turn the steering to close the gap.

Road bully that fella

I remember when i first angkat my rebel 500 just 2 weeks ago.... Went to batu caves to buy motorcycle cover... Otw back from batu caves to damansara my heart sank when i saw heavy traffic because that was my first time riding on real road... I still feel like that after kerinchi link near mid valley heading to seremban.... Feel like i want to move out from the city la...
