first things first ... frame slider or any other protective matter on the bike. If you're a first timer pls get use to the bike before full throttling or taking sharp corners fast and if possible change to a better performance tyre.

frame slider eh? ...ok got tht. Thanks

no problem ... enjoy the ride ... welcome to bikers world btw safety comes first ... riding jacket, pants, gloves, shoes and also a reputable helmet ... trust me you will not regret.

damages:

1. bent handlebars



2. broken left side bikini fairing

3. bent gear changer lever

4. small dent on tank

5. deep scratch on the crank case cover

6. multiple scratches on foot rest, foot pegs, etc...

luckily wore gloves + jacket

torn gloves:





and my 2 week old n85 spots a scratch on the mouthpiece...



luckily, no harm on me. not even a slight scratch. just a very sore arm i think caused by the impact...

how fast were you travelling bro?

not too sure, but not that fast either

around 80-90 km/h

it's a classic tank slap, the front wheel wobble intiated by lousy road surface in sarawak

and on that particular road, it was my 1st time on that bike on that particular road stretch. i drove on that road using cars many times previously and do know the road is uneven, but never thought that it's THAT bad.

luckily didn't panic and just let the bike go, quickly got on my knees and run to the road shoulder

the bike slid another 30 to 50m or so (yes, THAT FAR!) with sparks flying off as the crankcase cover kiss the sweet tarmac.

luckily i was able to lift the bike at one go. i had experience before when i need a few minutes and several tries to lift the bike when it fell.

i can say i am just one damn lucky bastard

1. the bike didn't fall into the very large earth drain (a few feet away)
2. the traffic managed to slow down and stop behind me (w/o any further accidents)

total damage, initial estimates (official pricelist for ER6-n 2012 parts not yet out):

1. original handle bar : rm 200
2. original gear lever : rm 100
3. bikini fairing : rm 250
4. bits & pieces (exlcuding the tank cover) : rm 100
total : RM 650

the tank i'm gonna touch it up a bit and be a thropy and reminder to me self

the crank case cover - need to sand down, smooth it a bit, and just spray

scratched foot pegs and bar ends, clutch lever - all the small things, gonna ignore it

wooh, really glad you safe bro.
Your adrenalin helped you lift the bike, no doubt.

hmph judging by that, i believe my place is a lil cheaper

a 08 rabbit ~US$8k

09 Gixxer ~US$7k

09 R6 ~US$7.5k

lesser european bikes like the SS1000RR (my super dream bike ) there's ducati around thou..

say for the whole new 2012 ZX10R, US$15k quoted here..

ur OTR price is so damn expensive gosh, here bikes doesnt need insurance, registration cost $50 lol.. road tax for >250cc bike, u wont believe how much it is hahaha... $2

fuel is expensive here 97 RON ~US$1.40, oil prices fluctuates here according to global fuel prices..

thanks. i'm just very glad that i didn't get any injury. and better yet, no scratches at all, seeing how violent the fall was and how far me and the bike slid...

need to scout around for new gloves now...

Lucifah!!

Ride safe.... Quite sad to see our friend down....

thank you. it was newbie mistake. over estimating my ability to traverse uneven tarmac road surface

luckily just cosmetic damage, and bruised ego...


my god... RM 5.30/liter?

Haha.... Ride safe bro!

yes exactly, sadly its not subsidized by the govt here

about US$19 for one full tank on my CBR.. how much ur guys full tank back in msia?

but still, 1.40/liter, but you also earn in USD

so u still win

we earn RM salary, but pay RM 2.80 for ron97

heck, even ron95 is 1.90

bro ... lucky nothing serious ... just curious .. did you install frame slider on your bike ???

Normally Rm 20 something... certain bikes RM 30

CBR954RR ... about RM35 Ron97 .... sikit lebih kurang

no sliders...

older sliders for older er6-n doesn't fit

only today when i bring in my bike for repair estimates did they show me the new sliders for 2012 er6-n

costs rm 280.

maybe gonna install it after all parts arrived.
