bought used v1 dominar 400  mid april and change tyre a week later. not sure how good is pilot street 2, but hey, its rm60 ( quoted rm560 - shop credit rm500) and do oil change + chain and spocket + service absorber ( shop did it, but leak again) at other workshop that familiar with modenas. Change side mirror to oem. haha

unlike car, not all workshop except other than kapchai.

Its daisy chained....goes to clutch side first (the one with the most wear) then to the brake lever side

Plus i also recently rectified an issue with the brake master cylinder not pushing back out the entire way...so im assuming that would have also added to the wear

Put on new shoes for the NK. Stock tyres lasted about 13k km to the wear bars.

Went with PR6 120/190 combo. 1 size up from the factory 180 because no stock of the 180 at that time and I was nursing a 3rd puncture (lol, 3 punctures.on the rear in 4 months) so didn't want to wait 2-3 days for stock.

Price 1250. 120/180 is under 1200. Tyre + mounting and balancing. They adjusted and relube my chain for free, cleaned out all the threads. So far happy with the service.

Done 200km city riding so far. Bike sits slightly taller and the profile is much steeper than the stock 180 maxxis supermaxx. This is due to the PR6 profile and also I'm running 190 on a 5.5" wheel instead of the recommended 6" wheel for 190.

Suspect I will be running with permanent chicken strips due to the low foot peg clearance of the NK.

Carcase is a little stiffer and not much weight difference. Faster to warm up and grip is good even when cold. Not yet tried in the rain yet. Bike falls into a turn quicker due to the steeper profile but I might have to play with the tyre pressure to optimise the feel. The taller rear has made the front feel a little heavier. Will try to tune it out in time.

Honestly, if there is 1 nitpick, I don't like the thread patten of the PR6... Especially for the front. It's like a hot girl putting on granny underpants.

Will see how it goes. Will probably switch it back to 180 next tyre change in about a year.

Haha..I won't say I made the wrong choice. For the price and the mileage I need.... There isn't really much to choose from. Other choices like the Angle GT and Roadtec likely be the sportier choice. But the Angle GT doesn't last as long, and the Roadtec is expensive....likewise the equally pricey T32.

Supersports like the S22 will last me 2 months at most. Hahaha

saw my voltmeter pushing up to 15.2v a couple of times... read online that a dead/ weak/ faulty battery can cause rectifier to push out more voltage to try n charge the battery causing it to overwork n burn out. n since my battery has died once and recharged and sort of dying again... got the battery changed. RM150....otw back noticed it didnt go above 14.7.

I dont even know where it is hahahahahha

Why u wanna know?

Changed out my usb port from blue to green led.

May look like green is very glaring in the pic but in real life blue is much more glaring for my astig eyes. The green can see the numbers clearly n easily...dont need to squint n get closer to tell the numbers.

Also bcoz it's blue....i keep thinking my high beam is on 🤣

(29/6/24)
So after 7k KM mileage, I decided to clean the fork dust/wiper seal.
The owner manual on the KTM made it sound easy, but that wiper seal was a pain to remove, thankfully had plastic trim removal tool to mitigate any damage if I had to use a flat head.
They say push, I had to pry it.



Clean it and grease it like in the other thread recommendation.

would try that method the next round.
you're right the front end feels better, to be precise, i feel less stiction.

Replace my year old tires with RM95 combo set include shipping with valve & sealant solution, have to do it around petrol station though for easy access to tire inflator.

Acceptable quality no matter dry/wet consider the price and only time will tell how is the durability.

How is your Benelli Leoncino 250 performing so far?

Overall ownership experience?

Going on YouTube and Google there are not much resources about this Leoncino 250.

So have to ask actual owners for tips, tricks and DIY How To's.

so my bike (er6n) wont start yesterday, after changing new starter relay. lifespan only halfday or 3 time use then kaput.

-dump start, i dont know how to shift to 2nd gear, always N after the 1st gear. so tried on 1st, unable to start. (i may doing it wrong as the tyre lock after dump clutch + throttle abit)

-short B/M at starter relay, but engine still wont start. ended up replace to old stater relay, then can start.

does this mean shorting the terminal on the starter relay, is not 100% make your engine start? still depend on starter relay condition?

most likely no1 . 2,all light remain constant, no dimming/or flickering. 3,didnt hear starter crank. but when i short the terminal around 5 sec + throttle bit (starter relay) it crank but wont start.

however i suspect stator/battery. Happen twice and after both happend after ride. (20-30min ride). Notice that voltage during idle or low rpm ride not exceeding 13v. Lowest was 11 idle at traffic light. will rectifier cause this or just stator?

whats your milage?

myself quite very low milage one year maybe just over 1k?.
I rode in to a yamaha sc after 6 months bout 500km in, i was asked to go home, said 1 year is fine.
owners manual suggest 10k (never did mention a duration)

but when i approached an outside workshop, he said big bikes 3 bulan must change... i pun abit surprized.

Just clocked 2K KM after my previous oil change, it's definitely louder now for cold starts and at lower speed it's a bit rougher but not enough to affect riding experience. Starting to enjoy the sound of my 400, there's a nice whistling sound from 15~40, and when I was riding it up my brother's condo he remarked that it sounded like an engine of an electric motor which I have always thought so.
