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.

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.

Fuel blinking, far from home, stop by petronas, open flap n saw a tonne of white powder...same kind on older wet cell battery terminals...tough time putting in the key..once in couldnt turn....sigh.

Managed to open n fuel up after purchasing multi purpose cleaner.

Got home, picked up my wd40 n sprayed the fuck out of the key barrel..n more.of this shit came out...n i mean sprayed a tonne of wd40 til my rag was actually drenched yet this stupid powder still kept coming out. Spray sampai puas hati.

Leaving it to dry...gonna send to bike wash tomorrow if i have time....then more wd40...then let dry again...then only will put some lube into the barrel.

I really hate kawasaki key barrels...annoyingly the one exposed to crap the most, the one we rarely use, the seat key, is the one that never gives problems on both my bikes.

Just bought this Benelli Leoncino 250 Se abs 2019, 12k mileage from Imotorbike Glenmarie.

Just did a front tire change to Michelin 110/70 R17 for RM260 at glenmarie 55 workshop. Back tire just changed by Imotorbike, but they changed to a wrong size tire at 140/70R17, the original size is 150/60R17. Currently the back tire is rubbing the mud guard🤦. And coolant have been added by myself, due to it was below the "lowest" indicator. I dont know how they said it was fully inspected before selling to customer.😔

Next is engine when idling, the rpm keep going up and down by 500rpm. Tomorrow will have to go fix that, and the tire. Fingerscross can claim back the coolant money i spent.🤣
Also my chain will need some cleaning and lubing, I did saw ipone cleaning kit if that is good... And i need help with cleaning of the rust on the exhaust pipe.

If someone know how to locate the battery for Leoncino 250 please hit me up, i cant find it below the seats.

DIY custom windshield for the 800NK.

Making the it the first and only NK in Malaysia with one.
Windshild is from a z650. Needed to modify the bracket, along with another windshield bracket for the 800nk basic.

not exactly TO my bike... but more for my bike rides. DIY over the shoulder camera backpack mount.

headed to MHS in Q3 so i wanted to record it. but my SJ4000 AIR has no stabilization so i didnt want to mount it on the bike in case of vibrations. didnt wanna mount it on the helmet either as that will add weight and my helmet is a flipup.

been thinking of building this for years actually but now have a good reason n already had most of the parts on hand. i also carry a camelback with me on long rides so might as well use it fully.

havent tested it yet... hopefully doesnt shake much while riding.

why i dont just buy a camera with stabilization? well its too damn expensive and i dont use the action cam much and this cam also has the waterproof charging case. so i can charge even when its raining heavily (provided the other end of the cable doesnt get water in it as well)

only thing is, i cant decide which angle to put it on... left shoulder or right shoulder....

Is a bit odd that CFMoto is distribute by MForce, but is not under MForce lineup/website. Kinda weird but in a way is good hopefully is an independent arm at least, and yea I'm surprise the Flagship shop is open at Penang rather in KL. hopefully down the road all 3S is trained well for aftersales

versys meter started to burn...

by the time i got to changing it, it was burnt worse than this pic

got it fixed and also reversed the colors.


looks really nice but i do have some regret... not as easy to see as original, especially the smaller texts like odo, trip a, trip b.

will just get used to it i guess... worse come to worse, just pay another RM170 to get it reversed.

how much did it cost n how long did it take?

holy shit! wat bike is this? so expensive to service the suspensions?

front fork i did at RM7xx iirc at 66speeddbike for my v1k. no idea on rear shock price though.

I bled rear brakes last weekend, and changed out my muffler
raised my rear shock by 3mm

Patent good suspension is very important, next to brakes and tyres
the forks should be NIX30, standard cartridge type, not TTX

Ohlins is cheap for the amount of joy and safety it buys
I would Ohlins and Brembo my bikes any day

yeah i did woolich at dr dyno in puchong. was about RM1.5k 6 years ago.. dunno price now.

last weekend change EO and OF
pomen said my bike need to change oil every 3 months

Some still insist 3000km. I have to change every month then if that was the case. 300+ each time. 400 if I use motorex.

Manual says 15k. I change at 10k or 3 months. Which ever comes first. I do about 3k ish per month.

sent my scooter for suspension treatment - front cartridge kit and rear YSS shocks

Today I decided to wash my bike and aim to clean up my front sprocket

shows that if you didn't open up the sprocket cover and get in there with brush

the gunk grease won't come off

Cleaned my chain and front sprocket yesterday. Crazy amount of gunk at the bottom of the front sprocket cover, despite the sprocket itself being very clean. The gunk was like hard mud that I had to scrape off with my gloved finger. Now I am thinking I should probably open it up every other time or so.

I am not sure if I over-applied the chain wax or that's just the nature of it, but I saw grit splatters that stuck to my swing arm, the cover and my rim. My chain is noticeably noisy at slow speed and the bike also has a tad more vibration. Think I may have to reconsider using chain wax, or apply it very conservatively.

Is there a chain cleaning/bike washing service that can do everything and have the bike be collectible in an hour or two? Think I can use my time better.

Is it possible to ride away just right after lubing?

My biggest complaint is being able to do this in the morning only, because I need the bike to dry throughout the day under sun so I can then lube it right before it gets dark in the evening, so I can see whether the chain is lubed well or not. Also, if I missed the morning window it gets too hot for me to do it, because I don't wanna do it in the covered porch since I will have to clean the ground after, so I usually do it roadside and spray water over the diesel and guide it to the drain.

I am considering using old clothes or worn rags to soak the dripped diesel next time, and clean the wet spots on the ground after, maybe with those Daiso wet wipes.

Edit: After checking the price of Shopee, a brand new set of sprocket/chain will cost me RM400 or so, makes me wonder if it's even worth taking that good care of the chain. Imagine the extra time spent amounted to a 30% increase in chain lifespan, that's only 400*0.3 = RM120 for a lot of time spent.
