Wait what? My friends n i have been getting our ebc hh pads from ebay uk....n never had an issue getting them in

Ya I was surprised too. Caprimoto uses DHL, derang ni skema sikit. So I had to fill up the borang kastam and it does specify brake pads as safety items.

Nasib la.

I bought 4 pairs, enough to last me a good while when I eventually get them.

The Daytona VX Golds in the front are fukkin spongy although my brakes hv already been bled & refilled with fresh DOT4 fluid. The difference between the stock Brembo sintered pads and these semi-metallic ones are like night & day.

I'll bleed them again in a few weeks' time.

Update:

Had to cough up almost RM400 extra for the import tax, customs clearance process and stupid bonded warehousing charges plus taxes for both charges. Fuck me, it totally defeats the purpose of the purchase.

I also ordered some ceramic rear brake pads from Aliexpress, just to see if they're all they're cracked up to be. These will go with the front Brembo LA pads when the current Daytona setup claps out.

Apparently no hang-ups with kastam either.

D400 20k mileague
Chain , sprockets , engine air filter , spark plugs , engine oil , coolant changed.
Next change is tyres hahaha

Same, bought before EBC HH pads from Ebay for my previous Yamaha and it arrived without issues. Lucky me...

What's the damage?

Got a set of triple locks. Swapped the key barrels out so I can use a single key for the panniers and top box. Took about an hour.


Didn't check properly....ended ordering these aftermarket ones and not ori givi. So fitment a bit sloppy and uses normal keys compared to the better flat blade keys that came with the cases. Had to reuse some of the original hardware.

Cost about 70. Ordered from shopee

Eh nice...been thinking of doing this too....but but but...my panniers r givi n top box shad....dunno if can get a lock set that can fit both

ordering brake pads from oversea cheaper? might start doing the same

Cheaper only if you don't get taxed lor. Last time I ordered some special LSD oil from RHDJapan and in the end I got taxed 30% iinm, all in was almost the same price as buying local.

They *were* cheaper, until they went thru customs and incurred taxes, processing, handling & fukkin warehousing charges. So depends on your luck liao.

To give an idea of how much cheaper......if taxes n all other crap not included...

Ebc hh pads for my bike....at local workshop...front only rm350.

Buy from ebay uk including shipping...front AND rear...total rm380.including shipping

Changed my batter, only lasted for 1.5 Years.. no more warranty.. thought was a normal lead acid battery turn out its AGM.. cost more than my car battery.. CCA 315 amp = same as Myvi

Rm450

The VX pads have less "cuts", so it will not bite

Basically apa lanjiao that is bike related automatically kena whack 25% import tax + 10% sales tax *MININUM* without question. If you're really unlucky, kena tambah other stupid charges plus tax on top of those charges.

If your seller uses UPS, DHL etc, be prepared to have your throat slit this way.

welp.. back to buying locally then i guess

Silly me, ride until rubber hancur. Go shop laaa replace. Not enough tools. 10 years motor this.




Same bike last week. Motor hard to start. Motor die sudden. Motor die while engage gear. Kaput the vehicle sensor down. Known to Z8 owner. Replace sendiri. Now healthy back.

Few more plan: as battery charging likely weaker .
- replace coil
- replace rectifier

my er6 also kena back in 2016 or 2017
should be the same part no
open it up, clean the bluish residue (carbon?) because water can get into it. put dielectric grease then seal again
works until now

Brake fluid changed & had all 3 calipers bled today. Pumped half a liter of fluid thru to make sure all the old fluid inside the ABS system is pushed out. Cheap RM5 brake bleeder from Shopee makes the job a hell lot easier.

Wife finally got her bike back yesterday after almost 1.5 months. Gave it a once-over, filled up the tank, aired up the tyres and we're all set for a brunch ride to KKB tomorrow to let her refamiliarize before she resumes riding to work next week. Will need to do her brakes too at the next oil change.
