Its being a while i spoke about my Looser lesen journey. I was away for personal reason so managed fine time to finish it. I need to redo 6 hours of Kpp02 & Kpp03 in order to take the pre and actual JPJ test cos I am away from the school for more than one year and I would like to complete it before my 2 year L is up.

Do you guys wear full gear on track? Camt wear full face at my driving school.
Last time used to wear riding jacket which makes things hot but it does save me when i accidentally clutch dump and the bike roll forward and hit the kerb with me falling down with it.

Not sure if i should wear riding pants? Wonder if it really helps for litar since the padding is only on knee and also ass part.

Oh yeah I definitely going to wear my riding boots and gloves for sure.

Nice of your instructor making you example of proper riding kit, too bad the place I am people thing I am crazy

Also they make a massive point to tell me full face helmet is big no no (thankfully i have old cheapo open face helmet to use)

My riding jacket i have removed the front chest protector since most are slow speed stuff and making it not too hot when under the sun and thankfully it was white colour too.

Usually riding boots, what is the properway to shift up shift up using ankle or you move whole leg upward or downwards in order to shift? Cos my boots really lock the ankle so hard to move it around haha

Actually my feet is duck feet, so when on peg/brake the feet would toe out more than normal human beings (heck even for normal walking too)
It would feel unnatural if I were to toe it in, maybe because I am riding driving school bikes which does not give me enough seat time (i hop between z650 and er6n).

Hope this situation does not deter me when I am riding on the road for real. I actually considering to add slightly longer shifter shaft if I were to get myself a motorcycle (not sure if its possible since i cant find such info online)

No lah, my shoe is running between euro 39-41 depending on brands and makes.
Just the toe out angle is apparently quite extreme from everyone who noticed how i walked

On driving school bikes, no issue with ER6n (this bike is taller for me than z650) and Z650 bikes shifter and brakes but have massive problem with virago shifter as I cant angle upwards but for its rear brakes it took me a while to get used to it at expense of instructor shouting at me wtf am i doing so slow around kp002

If one were to buy helmet overseas (in japan or indonesia) in person. Would the kastam disturb you when you bring back to Malaysia?

Some of my riding buddy would just throw away boxes and remove any product sticker/tag just to show to kastam that it is used item.

Noticed most helmet these day doesnt come with sirim sticker anymore. Would they use this reasoning to kacau me?

Reason, I dont really trust local helmet shop seller whose main goal is to sell and earn commission and its not their interest to provide best fitting helmet for the buyer.

Unless there is a multi-branded helmet shop that I can go and visit and try everything without pissing off the sales person when i walk out empty handed

Saw Takong Racing and Durian Bikers were one of the few that carries multiple brand in store.

There this old otai shop at pertama complex (think called mercinda racing) seemed legit too but not sure if still hold true in 2025?

Also saw this link too https://www.bikesrepublic.com/english/archi...met-regulation/

Do you actually oil the glove with leather protectors? Just asking as a leather shoe user I do oil my shoe every 3 months.

Speaking of kastam, if buying motorcycle clothing no issue kan inside checked luaggage? Like getting certain RS taichi or Komine stuff that are unavailable or forever out of stock here in KL.

Oh yes, I saw locally have shoei fitting system but I dont know if there equivalent for Arai or other brands?

For sure I need someone who is experienced to point me to the right helmet for a start instead of letting me try endless model and figuring out how the fit on my head.

You know like the system can see how your head and automatically recommended few helmet that theorectically suit my head well

System in the sense that you put in some figure onto it and it will narrow down to certain models that fit your head profile
Speaking from my visit to prescription glasses and road bicycle shop which had similar system to narrow down the right model for the person.

Or maybe I am thinking too far ahead


I see, I did went to few shop recently to try some helmets. I did disclose to them I am cross shopping with other brands so wont be making any decision soon.
Managed to try some with hits and misses here and there.

Modular helmet looks nice but somewhat I feel more secured wearing a proper full face helmet. Not sure how to explain but I feel like something is missing wearing modular helmet even it was fully clipped on. I would assume if commuting to and fro work modular would be the better helmet since I am not doing crazy speeds. Not sure if otais here also had the same feeling? I guess some people use modular for daily while full face for weekend ride?

Wented to shop that sell both shoei and arai, somewhat both were fit-able to me but its a pity Arai does not have their pro fitting service here in Malaysia as the only annoying thing on my head is that the stock padding were in the way of my glasses temple which indirectly led most of the shop to push shoei more due to the PFS service. But unfortunately, most of them required me to fully commit to the helmet purchase before even doing the fitting service

I guess the only way to get arai fit is go overseas with our helmet purchased locally. That is if the shop even bother to layan us even after paying the fitting fee?

Of that few shop only one shop are quite obviously pushing me to buy on that day telling me the helmet is in limited stock due to raya peak period. Noticed that he keep trying to push me higher price helemet (plain coloured helmet vs graphic helmet) while another shop allowed me to try on those full carbon trackday style helmet

Need to continue sleep over it for sure.
