which bike? new?

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.

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.

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.
