Yeah. get a helmet bag.

If you need a grocery bike more than a sports/touring bike, get an additional scooter as well.

For riding jacket, depends on your rideout preference: Either get a well ventilated, or a rainproof one, or both. Same with other riding gears like gloves, shoes etc.

For your parking, I suggest you get a bike cover. This one also beware of strong winds, but I don't think it would topple the bike, just take note lah when you park on a slope.

welcome...

buy sport rims ah, check the width of the rim to fit the tires you like. as far as i know, ranging from 1.4 to 2.5 inches... the wider the more expensive.

I bought used rims online for RM70, the width is 1.4 only.

my Y100 can go 80-90 on 3rd gear, and 110-120 on 4th gear...
last time lajak 3rd gear can go 100kmh...

you wanna service the bike yourself? when was the last time it was serviced?

what bike? by law, the mechanic need to quote you price first after first inspection to see roughly what need to change. If anything broken, count separately. I'd say around 200++.

hi CyXP, how about checking out this thread? Owners of LC135...

Sounds like a nice SS2 you have there. Low mileage for an old bike.

For your case, just change bike engine oil if just regular service, and do a full service at every 30000 km. If better, do a full service every 20000 km. Also, adding to my earlier reply, may also want to clean exhaust pipe. Easy job just take it off, and hammer knock until all carbon fall out from inside... If really bad case, need to use welding to potong exhaust liao. Normally, if you don't use cheap 2T, no need to potong exhaust.

To reduce smoke, look for cleaner burning 2T, with grade JASO FC, or better FD. I've manage to find Castrol Race 2T (Gold bottle) for around RM20 at Tesco. So far so good.

not new rim eh?

I'd say RM50 is about that lah. I would stay and watch their work. Ask them what they do for full service loh... Like LEINZZ said, that's about the whole package lah.

Last time, I observed a training mechanic use the air gun to force a screw into my bike, almost destroying the screwthread on the bike frame. This is the kind of shops I avoid, never go back anymore.

Sometimes, they would remove all the bolts and nuts and misplace them... and then cincai mix them up and reattach. I am fussy and absolutely hate this kind of work quality.

hole facing to ground? do you mean those pipes connecting from the carb one? Normally there are air hose, fuel hose and overflow hose...

normal, I guess. I'd suggest getting a pipe, or a rubber hose for that, to prevent fuel from falling onto your paint.

should be ok... learn to feel the engine responds, and service at factory recommended interval.

I'm not sure how often also, . Some my frens do it once every 2000km. According to them, after around 2000, the gear shift already not as good, hence the recommendation.

In that case, I'd say 2~3 months.

@hyourinmaru: Check out mudah.my for any candidates and consider your options.

My opinion, for Honda 4-stroke bikes, 2000 is about the starting price for EX5. Do allocate additional budget for any unforeseen restorations.

Or you can get a very old bike, and spend additional budget on restoring it.

Not sure how much that rim.
Btw, ubuntu, how's your bike now?
