waaa #YLMD !!!

sembang /catch up with you the when i go visit at your shop (hopefully nothing to do with my car and just spare time go hang out hahaha)

just only a small humble 200cc thumper hehe
but hey, welcome to drop by.

Ahh same time as my wife albeit a few weeks back.

Still at the 250km mark, now it's at Rawtech for the next 1 month for some custom work.

Custom crashbars/pannier brackets?

Lol..ditched the clx already? Haha

Rear bracket plus some other minor stuff. Need a custom one coz she carries a huge tailpack & need to accommodate the rear dashcam.

Still got it, she's still riding it.

Nice! May I ask how tall is your wife? Did she ever felt that the slightly lean forward position of trident have put some stress on her hand while riding? I totally did not notice that during test ride, but once I got the bike for some time I start to feel pain on my hand. I am thinking about adding bar riser to help alleviate that. Still finding a local shop to install the riser

She's 160cm tall. She discovered the same thing - she's used to the upright riding position of her 700 CLX and while the 2 test rides she did on the Trident went fine, her short ownership quickly revealed the same thing u discovered. She's getting Rawtech to look into adding bar risers to address this slight issue.

Her height is very close to me. I am about 164 and I'm thinking a offset riser might do the trick but worried about the cable length, and needing a modification which I hope to avoid. Is it alright if you could let me know which bar riser she ended up getting so I can use the info as reference?

My bike came with s123 when i bought it, didn't know they were that great. The only reason why i changed it was because i didn't know much about the corsa branding. Didn't k now it was so highly praised in the local market

Alright, thank you for the suggestions




That said, i always thought Michilin would be a reliable tire choice since i had good experience with them on my cars. Guess not

Always favour a budget brand making premium offerings, than a premium brand making budget offerings.


Think about that for a sec will ya.

One is cutting cost to fit a price. The other is trying to make a better tyre but not charging so much.

Paid Rawtech a visit today to finalize with En. Azis the design of her custom rear rack. On the topic of the bar riser, he did note that the cables might start to tug at full lock and cause all sorts of problems. So he advised my wife against it.

Her 700 CLX died again Thursday night while riding home with me after dinner in Ara Damansara. 3rd lane in fast-moving traffic on the NKVE at 9pm, ignition cut out and lost power all of a sudden while cruising at highway speeds. Power was on but it refused to start. It was a harrowing experience coz she didn't not have the power to safely cut across 3 lanes of traffic into the emergency lane and the bike came to a stop in the middle of the friggin highway. Fortunately, the large truck behind her managed to stop in time and block the traffic for us to push the bike to the side of the highway. Called a tow truck and dumped the motherfucker at Mforce immediately afterward.

She was supposed to ride it to Satun with me next week. Looks like she'll have to make the trip on the back of my bike as a passenger.

Enough is enough, that bike is DONE. We'll cut our losses and flog it off immediately when it comes out of Mforce. Damn near killed both of us that nite.

Dear god....glad u 2 are safe. But 2 questions....

Satun apa best?

Ara damansara got nice place to eat for dinner meh? I live here n dinner is always an issue...always have to keluar kawasan

Edit: forgot to mention u can get custom cables made....they randomly appeared on my ig feed last time but i cant remember the name. Give them a sample and they can make it for u....

We were at Oasis Square, meeting up with her old friend from grad school back in Guangzhou.


Kalau Satun tu, pi Pakbara la where else. Also we want to recce the ro-ro ferry service to Ko Lipe & Ko Lanta. The trip was supposed to give my wife her first experience riding her own bike across the border, but alas... tenggek kat belakang je la...

The Trident is ride-by-wire, I don't know if anyone custom-makes the wiring harness for that. At any rate, we wouldn't want to void the new bike's warranty so I guess that will have to wait.


Ya that was us.

yikes... even after that topset service they gave you another problem came up?

Good thing your wife is safe. Bike stopping suddenly in front middle of highway in KL... could've been worse

Oh shit that's bad.

My loaner CLX had a dead throttle incident on Saturday. Fortunately, I was able to idle cruise back home at 10kmh....lucky no hills. I was just 1km from home as I just out to get breakfast.

Throttle completely dead, no response at all. After a few power cycles still the same. But I it came back alive after I plugged and unplugged the connection. Maybe a loose connection

Seems like Malaysia CLX700 is problematic, feel like CKD & QC issue. No wonder see so many CLX700 selling at iMotorbike.

Seldom see this CLX700 at China had issue complained by them.

ECU burned due to overcharging?
I am just glad both you are ok

Not the case. Coz 1.5 hours later when we arrived at Mforce, the bike could start again. But out there in the middle of the highway and by the side of the road, no joy.
