QUOTE(mADmAN @ Sep 30 2024, 12:50 AM) Technically yes, but they wont be good. Helmet budget ard 150-200 for KHI or LTD or SGV jet helmet n the likes..j Gloves can get from shopee from rm50 onwards. Arm sleeves? Buy a cheapo hoodie instead But if u want proper, safe gear..cheap ones r roughly... Rm180.for the cheapest Komine or RS Taichi gloves. Can look into china brands like Benkia, but even Benkia can be more expensive. Rm300 for GIVI or ARC jet helmet. Arm sleeves can get cheap ones from shopee for ard 20 bux QUOTE(jaycee1 @ Sep 30 2024, 11:25 AM) 200-250 for all 3 will be scraping the bottom of the price barrel. Walk into serdang motorcycle for survey just now. I roughly get the idea how much it would cost me.But if you want these just to take the lessons and test then it's ok. Helmet you can probably borrow an old helmet from a friend. Or use a hand me down for free. Otherwise just get a givi m35 open face for about 300ish. You can find lower tier KYTs full face for around the same price also. For the test, they generally prefer you use an open face. Gloves you can find for 100 or less for off brand/"OEM" or lower spec ones.. But if you want good ones, especially real branded ones, they will cost from 200 and up. Arm/sun sleeve just get anything from shopee. You buy these from a bike shop, you'd pay a few times more. They are a few rm only.. obviously these offer no protection other than the sun. Good gear is expensive, especially if you start looking at premium branded stuff My gear cost half of my first bike's purchase price. Welcome to motorcycling. For gloves RM60 - 100 Sleeve RM35+ Helmet I might need to extend my budget. Cheap 1 below 100 memang hard to pakai. Is it riding course they only allow open face helmet? |

QUOTE(yj98 @ Jan 31 2025, 11:27 AM) Need recommendations for gloves. Here are my requirements baby rider here. TNG card for enter parking? i totally forgot about this.- good airflow - can feel things on my fingertips. With my current glove I struggle to find the zip on my jacket and take out TNG card from my wallet. - safe(ish) ![]() maybe modify the TNG card smaller to hide inside riding gloves. |

what helmet you guys using?
which brand is good but less expensive? i realize a good helmet very important in comfortable riding currently using a cheap open face helmet i only ride on weekend since i got my bike. till last week cny holiday, i ride everyday wearing my cheap openface helmet, ths helmet only cut minimmal wind even with visor down and create alot of wind noise when riding high speed. now my head feel dizzy and my ear feel uneasy. with budget below 400 currently aiming at KYT or LS2 but LS2 cutting really small even for XXL which other brand are worth consider? |

QUOTE(JustForFun @ Mar 16 2025, 11:49 AM) I went to many shops to try out helmets due to my unusually large head and didn't buy any, actually most were more sorry that they could find a helmet that fit my head than being annoyed that I didn't buy anything. buy from shoopee, many shop didnt carry XXL helmetSerdang motorcycles staff particularly gave me good impression. |
