Worth to invest this?

Quite cheap though, only US$24.

Can get from sim lim for $30. The brand starts with V. Quite useful if you got a flat battery, but needed to charge for 8 hours.

If you in US now then just get it.

I think haven't reached yet. Should I tour on new tyres or use old ones then come back change? Old ones 2.5 years, 20kkm, lots of thread left but slightly hard like you've said previously.

[SW9000]

Any questions or need to pay $$ for Kuantan Trip can do so tomorrow during weekly Meeting.

 

Also, there might be an Adhoc 3D2N ride to Betong (Thailand) again during Hari Raya Haji.

Orgyniser is not me. Very secretive because the main objective is RT for specific sports/games. However, SAF100A will not be issued.

Hotel cost for 2 nights is expected to be SGD$66 (Modern Thai Hotel) or SGD$100 (Sri Betong Hotel or Betong Merlin).

I would get a new set to enjoy the trip more. SW tires is dirt cheap compared to sport bike. Your super bike front tire can buy a set of SW tires and SW tires last 2-3 times more than the class 2 tires....

free parking is available at space (unmarked) just next to coffee bean but lets be considerate, park anyway that do not obstruct human traffic.

Btw, the white lines on the ground... are not bike lots. Best to park 45 degrees forward left.

Just get diablo first. Your gixxer go clear carbon? All SWs will not see you....

If your gixxer got new tires then why not. Get yourself a tail bag good to go...

Yes exercise some care as there are modding agent on the tires itself. Need usually 200km or full tank to really :run in the tires...

Scooby, if new tyres need around 200km to break-in, by the time you reach thailand, the tyres grip should work better already, isn't it ?
