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.

i ride my heavy ass bike (a 2005 zx6r) with a surgically repaired hand and a broken shoulder. just need to be mindful when riding. its stable when ure moving but gets a bit sketchy if u move very slowly or when ure in a stop. if i park front first i need to manually push or pull that bike from the parking spot, align it and then get on the bike. oh and make sure u wear something comfortable and easy to move also. a skinny jeans (example) would limited ur moves and can throw ur balance off.
