The easiest to go n get the L B Full is at JPJ Padang Jawa Shah Alam

Alright.. Just asking here, can I go directly to JPJ to learn riding a bike or must I have to go to a school and learn before applying L B full from JPJ?

If u already have other license, no need to go to learn again... Just straight go to JPJ...To make L B Full is not diffcult bro.. U just go at counter, take num, but while take ur number, just told the officer at the number counter that u wanna renew ur license, but once ur number is up, n u at the counter dealing with another officer, just tell him/her u wanna make a L B Full License... Just make sure u bring along a license size picture, rm20 and fill in the form for L B Full license prior going to the counter... Ur L B Full will settle and ul get ur L license on the dot if all is ok complete form etc...

What if I don't have a license and I wanna learn from there? Is it okay?

it's a full face

the N104 is the modular one, costing on avg RM 1,150 - one of the best bang for your buck, modular helmet in the market
the N104 and N85 were my choices initially. but finally chose the N85 as it was lighter (200+g lighter) and cheaper (rm800) than an N104

the only advantage the N104 has is being modular, which i find is only necessary when i go to mcdonald's to order my mccikin meal.  laugh.gif

the N85 is also described by many reviews as a full-face version of the very popular N104 modular helmet

this one i have to mention, although it's an italian brand, it is made in china (or maybe taiwan)

neverthelss, it got an excellent rating from webbikeworld

http://www.webbikeworld.com/r2/motorcycle-...onda/review.htm

currently, the trend is to shift manufacturing of mid to low end helmets to china / taiwan for cheaper cost

japanese reign supreme with their super premium shoei and arai

[/quote]

The Caberg Konda I did some research from youtube, ppl say that the chin bar will come off.. As in the screws will loosen. :/ that problem happen quite often ohmy.gif

[EDIT] I'm looking for a helmet that is suitable for urban environment and everyday riding. For upright position riding.
Is it hot in a FF when stationary at the traffic light?? If it's hot then I might be getting a Modular.

QUOTE(lucifah @ May 28 2012, 04:37 PM)
then you might as well go for an open face helmet
even if you wear modular, you can't expect to open up the chin bar everytime you stop on a traffic light

but based on my very lmited experience with full face (2 month+), it is not as hot as i initially thought. when riding around city, i tilt open the visor a bit and let air in when stationary

that is why my priority in getting a ff helmet is the ventilation and the n85 is very generous with it - chin, brow, head vents, ventouri spoiler at the back. trade off is wind noise at high speed
*
open face not so safe.. I dont want to be like that guy in /k/ bikers forum that lost his 2 front teeth cuz no chin bar. I don't mind opening the chin bar every time I stop at the lights.

unfortunately that privilege comes when you run the business, not when you work for it
use for 1 day already

not yet broken in properly so the cheek padding is a bit too thick

ventilation is superb. 5 (FIVE !) vents - 1 mouth vent, 1 brow vent, 2 top vent (which can be reversed so you can either choose to use it as cold air intake or use it as hot air exhaust)

then there is the rear spoiler which acts as a ventouri lip and suck hot air out from the rear vents

noise is quite bad. turbulence is expected from the many vents

the dark visor is very nice

some fogging in the morning (unexpected, but maybe because there is still lots of debris as it sits in the box for quite some time

the helmet is light - very light for the price. 1.5kg for a rm 800 italian made helmet, which is good (of coz there's 1.2kg helmets, but price is a killer)

if you have more interest, perhaps you can just remind me again one month from now, after i use it everyday

have an Internal Sun visor? That's good. smile.gif I shall remind you a month later. smile.gif

Guys I'm gonna start biking by next year, gonna do more research and seek for advice before starting it ~

What bike I'm gonna start with ?

The Yamaha R1 and R6 is in my mind but I know its bad to start with a super sport, so I was considering a R15 or XJ6 first ~ Is it the right choice ? doh.gif
*
There's no R15 in M'sia. Only got Fz150i. But you can convert it to R15 with a cost of 2k+ for the cover sets smile.gif
I'm gonna start on biking with Fz150i next year smile.gif
