[Doremi]

Lol.

Going by e22 highway. Easier to go by 2nd link. Direct link. All my trips up will meet at 2nd link. Never like meeting at shell jb. Too cramp a place n dangerous.

[topgearalwaysrock]

Ahh. Ok.

 

I shall gain experience via Woodlands link first.

 

Simple thing like going in just to pump petrol. Haha.

Frankly speaking, doubt you gain much experience by doing that. You only rode on the malaysia roads for less than 20km

[BaMBiNo]

[Doremi]

Nice ride out! Till next time!

Yes, Bloody Fantastic!

Especially it's my virgin ride out, glad to be leaded by Doremi.

Estimated 300km clocked.

Yup confirmed, even at average speed of 110km/h still cannot get better mileage. ~25.4km/l - 0.4km/l better.

For those not doing oil change at Kymco agent, if you guys need lube oil filters, I have several for sale, $13 each. Those who serviced at agent will know the price difference.

[topgearalwaysrock]

Letting ah Lao change my rear brake pads now.

 

Its a faff to insert the new ones.... FizPower. Haha!

[topgearalwaysrock]

Cost me $30. Haha.

Interesting...going down to change engine oil later. Can ask for detail. Hasnt visited kl for a longgggg time

[topgearalwaysrock]

Yeap. MS reopens from today.

 

More of mix-scooter ride up. Not only limited to Kymco models.

 

Already 2 DT125i confirmed, excluding me. Haha.

[juanpauk]

WOW!!! So jealous I wish I was there the food looks great, maybe one day I'll pay Singapore a visit and rent a bike to join you guys

 

Update on the clutch + bell situation, during the weekend I removed my Malossi bell (I don’t recommend to buy it, good grip but there is something wrong with it). I bought a brand new Kymco bell, the noises and shudder are gone but I don't know or how long??? When comparing my old Kymco bell to the new one I can notice that the old one lost a layer (paint, metal I don’t know) on the inside where the clutch makes contact with the bell. I also used to sand the inner bell hopping to improve grip but I think it was making it even worst. The idea this time is to take it easy when pulling away and pray to the goods the solution is definitive.

 

The other theory is that maybe the bell lost its shape due to overheating mainly caused by my desperation. Anyhow this is my last attempt to sort the clutch issue enough money spent in that area if the noises come back they will be ignored

[topgearalwaysrock]

If there's any consolation, I didn't make it for the trip too..... =(

 

 

Anyways have anyone caught the latest episode of TopGear SEason 18 Episode 1??

 

It's a must watch I tell ya!!

[BaMBiNo]

To doremi: were u at marine parade at abt 6.30pm?

Hi juanpauk, the food is especially great after a long ride ha ha. We traveled to the eastern side of Malaysia (Desaru) and ate there before heading back to Singapore. Singapore on the other hand don't have the distance and scenery like what Malaysia offer but the food is just as good too.

 

I notice after the Malaysia ride, the scoot felt more torquey at lower speed now especially below 60km/h.

The vibration when moving off quiet down quite a bit, in fact more than acceptable . Let's see how long it'll last.

Fuel consumption is the same @25km/l 2up @ average cruising speed of ~110km/h.

Once a while when you full load the piston at the appropriate rpm for a considerable distance , it helps to 'clean' the rest of the piston wall. ^_^. Glad both of you had enjoyed the ride. Next round, we go muar for seasoning shopping!
