but still... why is a 15w-50 oil more expensive than a 10w-40 one?
usually, for a car engine oil, the lower viscosity ones are more expensive.

had a solo 150km ride today (to & fro). first time ride for so long. usually only 15km distance.
sudden rain in the middle of the journey.  and at the end of the ride, i literally ate a bug. (actually stuck on the mouthpiece) and lots of dead bugs on the visor too  overall, it's fun. full minimal gear on (mesh jacket, knee pad, gloves, helmet) feels very hot and sweaty. maintaing 120 - 130 speed really takes lots of concentration. not to mention your wrist hurts from the throttle and vibrations from a 2-cylinder engine fuel consumption is meh, at 3.5L/100km (my ASX can do 7.0L/100km, and it's a 1,300 kg car! can bring ppl and got aircon summore!) question: 1. is it normal for your wrist to feel numb after an hour due to the vibration on the handlebar? 2. road is rolling terrain. what is the proper way to roll over lots of small humps and bumps? remain seated on the bike or stand? |

QUOTE(sanosizo @ May 2 2012, 10:13 PM) 1. do not grip the throttle too hard. or wear a thicker leather gloves. or change bike to inline-4 engine it's more like my back can't stand the rebound from the stock shock unit on the er6. adjustable shocks are wayy to expensive for my budget as a beginner. if i stand up, i will lose control of the bike (usually control bike wobble using knees) 2. small humps no problem, just go over them. no problem to remain seated while going over bumps. just bend your elbow a bit. buy waterproof saddle bags (they're expensive) and put your rain coat in it. and get yourself a gore-tex boots. saddle bags? will they flap around when riding at speed? how secure are they (i mean, during riding, will the move around?) and one more thing i noticed - the violent air turbulence when i'm following a large vehicle, e.g. a lorry or a bus. the bike sways around, and that''s only at 90km/h. i felt afraid. so i just overtook these large vehicle as quick as possible to steer clear form their air turbulence. anyone knows proper riding technique when stuck behind very large vehicle? |

guys, i have question about helmet, specifically fullface vs modular helmet
i know from the safety point of view, ff is better than modular but modular helmet is more practical at time, esp when you try to have a short conversation with someone, for example, the pump attendant at the gas station talking under ff helmet will sound muffled and then there's the dilemma with the fixing attachment - D-ring or micro lock? D-ring is virtually adjustable, and proven, but takes some time (additional 5 - 10 second) to fasten, and it's almost impossible to fasten while wearing glove how safe is micro lock? over a few years, will the buckle break? need your advise before i plunge to an expensive high end lid. now wearing a cheap ff helmet, with d-ring (and no secondary visor!) to get the feel of it first... |

QUOTE(Narako @ May 12 2012, 10:53 AM) hey guys just wanna ask how much did you guys pay for B full license? My total was RM 630, upgrading from B2 to B-fulland if i get my license now but i wont ride any form of bike for at least 2 - 3 years is it ok? Taklimat Amali - RM 125 Renew L-license - RM 40 QTI - RM 50 JPJ Test - RM 50 Teacher's fee - RM 365 (this one is variable, and differs from every teacher / school / place) I don't have to sit for L-license test. Just have to sit through a boring lecture, and pay to renew license After you get your license, you can pretty much do what you want with it. if you don't want to ride for 10 years, then it's fine. as long as you can get yourself comfortable and confident with a bike, after a while not riding |

QUOTE(epo @ May 12 2012, 12:32 PM) QTI is a quiz ? QTI is more like a pre-JPJ test, conducted by the school to assess whether you are ready to undertake JPJ licenseusually it's a combination of obstacle circuit + road test QUOTE(Narako @ May 12 2012, 12:33 PM) is there a difference in price if i just straight get b full ? cuz now i only have D license and its a p license also. no differenceif your L-license has not expired, you can save the Amali (rm125) and renew learner's license (rm40) if you don't have any driving license before, then you have to take the L-license test |

A bit like CBR isnt? But, somehow no working headlight.  Or if the twin little nostril has projector headlite in there..  2nd thing, he's.. special.

QUOTE(preakzz @ May 20 2012, 01:37 AM) Okay i loled to the above story. Kinda too late replying to that but yeah, I loled. a woman? on teh intenet? Finished reading this thread finally after letting my laptop on for a few days.  So..hello boys..bros..uncles... Sorry interrupting your serious talk here but I need suggestions/advice. I've been wanting to buy the new er6f but some of my male friends doesn't seems to be supportive. Cause I go straight to that cc from none.  But I somehow worried too, if I couldn't ride it right or whatever problems coming..I will be using the bike everyday, to work or just anywhere. My friend got me scared with a story where his friend crashed and got tersepit and his leg melecur cause no one to help, as he's riding alone. Maybe a joke to you but as a woman what if I got tersepit....  Too heavy. So then I started to reconsider buying a 250cc bikes. Blade or ninja or the new pretty megelli. Suggestions, anyone? Thanks in advance. jokes aside, i had let my bike slippped and it fell a few weeks after i bought it damn, i tell you - it's hard work to upright the bike. even with proper techniques as seen in youtube i guess you have to practise and practise. unfortunatelly, bike school never teaches how... QUOTE(yaoding @ May 20 2012, 05:51 AM) One of the reason i chose 250 is because my experience with clutched bikes are very little (rode twice on clutched bikes only). 1. go straight to a 650cc bike. i have no experience with clutch bike, but i did well after 1 week (electric starter helps with covering up your mistakes The other reason is i don't know whether i can control the power of a 600cc bike or not. Third reason would be i don't think i can manage a 600cc bike financially yet. Buying is one thing, but managing it is another whole different thing already  Fourth reason is, now dont really have the time to go retake B license yet lol. Everyday busy with my advertising job haha. Aiya, ride the 250 ones first lo.. no rush lol... wait till i am familiar with a clutched bike and the way to maintain and control clutched bike first then only go for 600cc one lo.. At least 250cc are faster than my EX5 i guess lol... wanted the extra oomph when i go home early in the morning ( i go home after work normally at around 3-4 in the morning, sometimes 5-6, most of the time will see a white r6/r1 zoom past me during that time, damn fast! ) )2. cost to manage the bike is pleasantly affordable - for a 2 cylinder that is - rm 110 for an oil change. another rm 30 for a can of chain spray (which may last you for > 1 yr) 3. control the bike? just take it slow and always remember the rookie mistake - handle lock. don't be a mat rempit liao these are my experience as a newbie for the past 2 months +. still a newbie. only got to 130+km/h before kaki jadi lembut liao. wind too strong |

It's basically a Hyosung, and shouldn't have any problem with parts & maintenance Insurance will kill you? My insurance was just RM 800+ (written on the insurance cover note) with all rider option.

Let alone 3. you have good advice, but you don't grip the reality of most people situation thus, we have to take the hard way, and jump to a 650 / 1L bike and learn it carefully. yes, it's a steep learning curve, but if a rider use his brain rather than his heart, he can at least maneuvre the bike in most traffic situations |
