kucinggemok, I got all this from multiple places. Let me see if I can list them down here.

Spidi Track Wind Pro suit - SGD1200
Shoei Z6 solid colour with additional dark smoke visor - SGD450
KBC Force RR solid colour - RM600 if i recall correctly. I picked this up at SBM Cheras when they had a sale
RS Taichi GMX Motion Jacket with upgraded flex chest protector - SGD700
Dainese Air-2 Textile Jacket - RM320 if i recall correctly. Picked this up together with the Forma boots
Sidi ST boots - RM1000
Forma Boulevard boots - RM520 if i recall correctly

I dont want to see the total damage on how much I have spent on gears - otherwise I would get hell from *ahem ahem*.

Not wanting to offend anyone, the picture of the stuffs in the cart was meant to be a joke as I was shifting to a new place and needed to use the cart for easy transportation.

Can you see the cart has a Carrefour handle? LOL!

How we all wish Carrefour stocks all this isnt it?

1) i am aware of the "Pitch", well i think i can bear with it.... ok... i think my EGO can handle it tongue.gif

2) my intention is to travel outstation with it. oh... FYI, i m from kuantan, n i travel to KL pretty often... so i thot i cld ride there once a while... but man! only at +-140km/hr? i m not sure how to survive at tht speed... my average driving speed is around 160-180km/hr depending on which car i drive.... at 140km/hr?? now i hv to think twice...

anyway thx again... it really helps...

naked bike do have lotsa wind resistance and gonna make the rider tired quite fast for long journeys
better take a fully fairing bike like er6f since it has fairing and the seating position is upright..
when i rode my naza blade 250r i always maintain at 150-160km/h for long journey e.g KL-Kedah/Penang
eventhough it's only a 250cc but because of the fairing it has better aerodynamics..but the seating position not that ergonomics tongue.gif

judging from the price, looks like a foreign registered bike. most probably singapore registered bike

yes, you can get it cheap. but is it worth it? consider COE, and also JPJ kacau...
the er6-n has built in digital clock on the tachometer  wink.gif

the wristwatch is the heart rate monitor  nod.gif  - too afraid to glance at it as cannot take eyes off the road when doing 140 liao. balls pun kecut.

Last week my friends friend's bike who lived in putrajaya been towed away by Johor Customs..its a Singapore bike..so ur choice

Lucifah sooner or later u will get comfortable doing 140kmh..yesterday i push my bike till 222km/h only at nearest highway..the wind damn strong makes me close the throttle..eventhough i'm riding fully faired bike still dun have balls to push to the limit..

However last 2 week i rode a GTR 1400,it's still comfortable when i maintaned 240km/h all the way from Bangi till Sungai Besi toll plaza at 3am..

Standard specs is at 105 when the fan start kicking in. Your cruising temp seems normal too.
How is SIC on straight? U managed to go for top speed? Losail for me kinda short or Im being too slow at last turn to boost more power to straight. But going down from 290 to 100 for the hair pin turn 1 is really challenging.

Really wanted to try SIC. Your knee slider looks off set until you scratch the velcro  biggrin.gif

i only managed to do 240 only tongue.gif
didn't push the bike too hard since this is the first time i bring her into the track
but i believe u can push it max to 280 as most of the bikers said
maybe next time gonna push it a bit more biggrin.gif
yeah i put the slider too low, thought that i'll never scrap it tongue.gif

Guys, I have a serious problem after the accident...

I feel the bike acceleration is too slow, and suspected something wrong with the engine or transmission

So I went for a straight line test on a safe road, and took the time to go from 0-100km/h

it goes to 100km/h from a standstill in about 5 sec w/o any hiccups, which is what it should supposed to be, according to the brochure

but it feels VERY SLOW to me now

does it mean it's time for me to upgrade to a liter bike?

please help. serious problem...

5 second?? How come very slow???
Mine only took 2 and a half second... tongue.gif
Looks like the only cure is to trade in ur er6 with z1000 brows.gif

just wondering, anybody using superbikes (500cc and above) for daily ride? how is it like in terms of managing traffic in urban areas?

I saw the ER6F in the flesh, saw the price tag, and I think hmm..why not.

rode my R1 everyday to class, PJ-Gombak
Very convenient since I didn't go through any traffic jam, 95% highway till my uni..
I save on time and toll money (Kerinchi Link-DUKE-Kerinchi Link - RM7.00/trip) sweat.gif
But not so much on fuel since a full tank could only last around 250km only or 3 days tongue.gif

So how those bikers going for SIC track day? What helmet they use? I keep somewhere before the regulation but need to find again.

Im abroad so not any problem with international shipping. Online purchase normally will send to my place.
But I checked before with 1 or 2 US online shop. They didn’t send to Malaysia but can deliver to Singapore.
Just check their international shipping policy or you can know during ‘item checkout’ where you need to provide delivery address.

Online shop mostly cheaper.. depending on the stock availability
*
never had any problem entering trackdays all this while, and both of my helmet got sirim sticker because i can only afford cheap helmet only sad.gif can't afford those branded helmets...
anyway track marshalls never really check what brand of helmet u're using, as long as it is a fullface helmet then it is fine..
