Only helmet n gloves 100% of the time...the rest i usually squid...even my once a week 35km commute oso just hoodie, shorts n crocs coz of what i have to do at the destination which involves alot of sweating n dust n etc.

Yes yes..i know its not right and i should be wearing boots n pants n proper jacket etc...can change at destination etc....

Touring ill be on full gear though including riding pants and boots n jacket...and also compression shirt n pants as well.

Yes but 3m tape also has its grades/levels...make sure to get the gray outdoor tape

Mine has been stuck on my helmet for about 3 or 4 years

How much? Waterproof?

Did the same thing for my helmets...but my epoxy putty is stuck directly to the mount unlike the video...just had to rough it up kow2 n make sure to push the putty into the grooves/scratches on the mount.

After applying 3m tape i stuck it on and clamped it overnight..its been stuck there for 3-4 years..i used the cheap bondite epoxy putty (rm10)

But GoPros after 4 are sooooo friggin heavy...

I really cannot brain how ppl ride with that brick on their helmet....n thats not even including the brick of a mic adapter yet

naaah...im already running an SJ4000 AIR with a waterproof charging case.... so i dont even need to worry about the battery running out... rain or shine, it can continue charging...still lighter than those bricks

as for getting used to it... dunno la.. i have an MT Helmet Atom SV... did a chin mount.. with the camera, whole setup weight was unbearable to me granted the helmet is already 1.7kg la.

visor can close all the way shut?

disagree... my exhaust is loud AF... n the wind noise can drown out the exhaust alot... i wear earplugs mainly for wind noise but at the same time exhaust is reduced quite significantly.

Oh for.city riding bahahahaha

I dont usually wear for city ride...but the times that i have...the earplugs still makes a difference...especially when ur next to a wall or a car where the sound of the exhaust can bounce back to you.

Awareness wise, i try to use my eyes more than my ears....too many environmental noise

There is a specific way to use foam type...make sure ur wearing it properly

The silicone type hurts my ears like hell so i dont use them.

i have a pair of fakie komine gauntlets...

i bring them to a coin laundry and dump them in with my other laundry.... even drying i campak into the drier....

i do the same with everything... riding jackets, pants, gloves, helmet liners.....been over 5 years since i started doing it and nothing has failed on me so far.

IMHO... riding gear are meant to be tough not just during the crash but also to take the constant wind, sun, rain, mud etc etc... if it can handle all that for long periods, it can handle an hour in a washing machine and drier. they arent as fragile as people make it to be.

Technically u should....but i dont bother. I just leave everything in..i only remove the back padding so that the jacket will be more flexible to tumble in the machines.

The pads may lari abit in their slot but adjust alil n it's fine

Ive been doing this to my rs taichi jacket (6 yrs old), rs taichi pants, my various gloves and iz2 jacket.

I recently bought a komine jk137 but havent washed yet...only worn it twice so far

Naaahh...riding on hours on end is probably more torture for the garments i think especially with the wind trying to tear it apart... My rs taichi jacket 5 years edi in coin laundry machines n still ok...looks a lil worn from ueavy usage..but its still ok.

Laundry instructions? Forgot...not bothered anymore...coz coin laundry works for me...i even add extra 6mins in the drier

Edit: forgot to mention, helmet padding i will put in a laundry bag...will stuff gloves in there as well....

N the helmet padding actually feels more fluffy after it comes out of the drier hahahah

those of u with carbon fiber helmets...do u get the drumming sound? especially when u wear earplugs?

i get it with my cf helmet especially when i wear earplugs... wondering if thats a bad thing. its not loud.. but its constant and can be annoying sometimes.

Ryan F9 even mentioned "twitchy carbon drums againsts ur ears" at 0.35 mark

ur links cant be accessed.

the more recommended one is the one that fits u well... dont ever buy a helmet without trying it out... u can youtube on how to properly fit a helmet. then u can figure out which one is best for u.

just make sure they have ECE or SIRIM certification coz u need at least 1 of those for the helmet to be street legal in malaysia.

with the prices of those 2... ill probably also look at other helmets like HJC CS-15 for around the same price range.

check on the helmet itself...just coz its branded and a common model etc doesnt necessarily mean it has the correct certification marks on the helmet itself. law enforcement can still confiscate the helmet if there are no markings on the helmet, even if its ECE certified in other markets.

some pix on this site of how the stickers are like at the back of the helmet.

for ECE, there will also be a white label on the chin strap (E*) to also indicate the ECE certification.....like THIS (E11 in this example)

when KYT first entered malaysia they didnt have SIRIM cert but instead had a JPJ approved sticker like THIS...not sure if its still the same or theve changed to SIRIM now.

note that any other certification like DOT, SNELL, SNI etc are NOT recognized to be street legal in malaysia no matter how "good" people claim them to be.

for the helmet to be street legal, it must have one or both: SIRIM or ECE.

Different styles of bike can match with different styles of helmet ma...

Takkan bawak superbike but wanna pakai nazi helmet?

anyone know where in klang valley i can get these helmet cheek pads repaired? found one in gombak but he doesnt do the cloth material part.

found another in klang but feller mcm dun wanna reply me when i ask when i can send and for his location :x

which guy in pertama complex?

Thanks... already pm him on fb after ur reply but still no response 😔




U mean this post? Hes just sharing the gombak one i mentioned...dont think they do it themselves

can get the cheek pads separately but itll cost coz have to order and itll use the same material which will probably degrade again.

my foam is still fine n comfy n fits well...so i just wanna change the cloth to a hopefully better/ more durable one.

i dont use the helmet very often though coz damn sayang

its a Caberg Drift Evo Carbon.
