Hmm thats not too expensive.. But how did they take out the "125" logo and put it back?

 

Btw, I pump 98 today and dunno if its illustration but I felt the bike is smoother especially during pick up lol....

[parotae]

Tire thread still very new le...but I guess should be ok if test on a straight road especially espressway.. Nvr use this Kenda tire b4 but seems not bad for normal usage.

 

Another fellow xciting 300 owner says Kenda surprisingly good. He use to ride Super4.

 

Check with Motorsport if got any up coming outing. You maybe able to try top speed.

 

From now until 3 Nation Charity Ride may not have any program.

 

Wanted to go for 3 Nation Charity ride but was told smallest cc is 750 and not advisable to go because their average speed is 130km/h and therefor suggested that it's not a good idea as bike stress running at near limit and that rider will be indirectly stress out from the engine noise.

As going in big convoy, not advisable. Small group to Thailand is fine.

For the carbon sticker, they didn't stick on the 125i emblem. Haha.

[topgearalwaysrock]

Was at Ah Boy JB ytd 10pm - 3:30am. Happening place!! I've never seen a whole street of workshop open till early morning!!! Haha.

 

But too bad, the accessories are only for bikes, and not really for scooters. =(

 

Got stuck in the terrible jam at Checkpoint also for 1hr. Sian.

 

They selling the same Acerbis hand guard as mine for Rm195!!!! Bell and Arai full gloves for Rm 60, hand grips from Rm 35....

The problem with jb. Chiong 1 or nt...

[topgearalwaysrock]

But I realise, their service really slow. Just a simple change of engine oil, can take 30mins. Haha. So actually, not really worth to go over to service. But if wanna mod, of course JB shiok lah (speaking for bikes where they have spare parts for).

 

Their one bottle of Shell engine oil is Rm19.

Engine oil filter for Yamaha is Rm15.

Exactly. There's once someone mention, eh the bike accessories shop (Sell jackets, helmets and etc...) across the road got Alpine Gloves very cheap. Full glove in sin like over $150, the shop only sellRM100. So curious i went over and see.

 

Wah really $100 but Chey.....chiong one. Give me free i also won't wear. Wait wear a few times gloves tear ha ha.

Can use lah but why compromise on quality especially it's for safety.

[topgearalwaysrock]

Malaysia boleh what. Haha.

 

Don't laugh at fakes. Good quality Grade A fakes from China are better than real one hor. Don't play play. Hehe.

 

However, when it comes to their business ethics, that's another discussion altogether. But seriously, who can live without Made-In-China these days? It'll be too ridiculously expensive if that were so.

[kongfu]

For the carbon sticker, they didn't stick on the 125i emblem. Haha.

 

What do you mean?? So they cut according to the shape and paste?

[parotae]

Mr Kongfu Panda, tomorrow you go MS change oil hor.

Do update us on any trips by MS and ask about the Xciting 400 ok.

[topgearalwaysrock]

Meaning they didn't stick on the 125i part. They stuck on the whole fender but the 125i logo....

The Downtown needs a full width windshield. Currently, its only wide enough to shield the width of the speedometer

[chen_kiap]

What's your top speed for R15? I did ask a couple of riders when I met them in JB Racing Boy. They told me without mod to ECU (prior to the 1yr warranty), it max out at 120kph cos of engine cut also. After 1yr when they don't have the warranty already, they'll mod the ECU. So max speed is 150kph. But they tell me, 120kph, the bike start to wobble already. And windblast like crazy, so most of the time, 120kph for them good enough le.

 

Anyways, now have R15 version 2, with split pillion seat. Whoa lao! Sibei nice! Went to the showroom to see. Almost like the R6!!! I also like the FZ16ST =D Looks like a baby version of the FZ1!!!!

 

I never mod my bike at all. top speed 130km/h. The bike wobble a bit when above 100km/h. But so far I think is good. But if there are strong wind coming from the side can be quite dangerous... version 2 is very nice. I saw that a few days back..

 

But I prefer scooter... sportsbike is not good for the hands and the balls in the long run.. haha..

[kongfu]

Mr Kongfu Panda, tomorrow you go MS change oil hor.

Do update us on any trips by MS and ask about the Xciting 400 ok.

 

Kongfu Panda lol.......

 

Herbet says they are going to Malacca for a 1 night stay in Nov. and if wanna go gotta let him know quick cos he don't know if any room left bo..

 

But I was thinking what can we do in Malacca??? Been there before and it doesn't really interest me leh...if you going let me know k? am still considering. He say for day trip can always organise go in and have seafood lol...

 

As for our long waited Xciting 400, sorry dude no news at all. Dunno wtf is taking this taiwanese to announce leh...maybe they really rectifying or attempting to make the bike even better? Anyway its tested and proven to be more powerful than the 300 lor....estimated date now will be year end

 

What interest me when I was there is the pair of carbon rear view mirror with LED. Certainly look very nice lol..

[kongfu]

Meaning they didn't stick on the 125i part. They stuck on the whole fender but the 125i logo....

 

Ya so means to say they have to cut the shape of the 125 logo before they paste or paste liao then cut the shape? Otherwise cant think of any idea how they do it man... Maybe get it done when I change to xciting 400...depends on how the bike look in my eye then lol

Erm, yup. Haha. They stick the whole sticker on the whole fender, then cut off the shape of the 125i logo. It's not take out the 125i logo, stick the whole fender, then stick back the 125i logo. The 125i logo is some heavy duty sticker. Very hard to prise off....

Whoa Lao!! How can Xciting 400 be worse than Xciting 300?? That's why, those who are waiting for this scoot (I reckon not many in the first place), will have to wait longer and longer lor. Haha!

 

All the best to those who are waiting for Xciting 400!

[kongfu]

Ya lor its going to b a long wait i guess. But i can still wack n enjoy my bike at e moment so no problem lol

[topgearalwaysrock]

Right. My fuel consumption dropped to 30.2km/L for the last petrol fill up....

[topgearalwaysrock]

Yay! Finally have one Used Majesty 400 Reg 2006 on sale in SBF bikemart for S$5.2k.

 

But when I call up if they can do trade in with my DT125i, they say flatly that they don't want Kymco. I was like.... Ok....

 

The fact that any bike shop wanna take in Kymco is good liao, nvm the value.... Sian man.

Lol...so sad man...but honestly I have learn to accept the fact that no single cylinder scoot can b compared to the twin of SW. In that sense, Kymco is not too far off any of the single cylinder scoot out there.

 

Yes, resale price sucks but if you ride it for more than 5 years shd be ok la...hopefully more ppl will begin to accept that actually it's not a bad scoot after all just like what ppl think of SW initially. That said, I'll most probably be switching to the Xciting 400 lol...To me now, it's either back to SW or Xciting 400. I see no point in trying out any other single cylinder scoot and having to spend more unless u talking bout SYM, the jap made price is simply crasy. SW at least is worth it cos of the twin other than that why spend more on something similiar when u can get it at a lower price.

 

My 0.002 cents tho..

[kongfu]

@ parotae

 

Ask me to check then disappear? lol....

 

Was there this morning again. I found out it is orgainsed by a company for their 30th annivesary and a total of about 100 bikes/scoots(might be less) is participating.

 

Based on this alone, it really tempted me to go not bços of the destination but being able to ride in a big big convoy is something i wud like to experience lol...I'll most probably be signing up for it...
