u need a sterring damper for this bike at high speeds of over 200kmh...

cos the front is light, and headshake is common at such speeds.

 

top mount dampers - scotts, toby, hyperpro

undermount dampers - sprint

side mount dampers - ohlins, bitubo

 

 

average is around $600+............

after the singapore customs towards msia, the bridge is a nice place to speed up. but once down the bridge, there are about 3-4 bumps which u need to be careful lor.

a steering damper would be a good investment but not sure which brand would be good. anyway lucky thing i a bit heavy so the front of my bike feels ok when i travelling around 220km/h.

 

i only start speeding up after the 1st rest point cos usually go in already hit reserve.

hi, i am getting my Z1000 soon... anyone know how much is the insurance for a 2nd party fir and theft from AIG will cost me? me 24 this yr....

 

and can i get the insurance by myself without getting any motor shop involve?

Around S$1,500 for no. 2 insurance. I don't know can DIY the insurance or not, but its a package so I let motor diam one time do for me...

 

Pricing wise correct me if I am wrong

 

So may I know you getting what colour? New bike

when travelling above 140km/h(usual travelling on malaysia highway), i would already be in a race tuck postion.

 

but travelling at tat speed or higher, my neck aching is the last thing on my mind, only concentrating on the road ahead n thinking wat the hell i doing travelling so fast hahahahaha

 

tried travelling on the N-S highway once at nite, no street lites so it was quite scary.

Yes, agreed

 

I just losted my way last week at GP/Perling & I reach Kulai alone, that was about 1am midnight.

 

Try to hit back to GP Esso at the speed of 170km/h, lucky I reach GP Esso to link up with other guys soound & safe. Come to think of it, if that time got one cow or goat sleeping on the highway, I think I Sayonara liao

 

I consider myself vary lucky

Just read through other folks comment on insurance pricing...

 

On the average S$1,248 is somehow reasonable market price for your age, I think...

 

The metallic Zed is lovely, but I don think you can ride your Zed without your insurance, so hope you can settle your insurance soon

[Ah Fai]

Just had a short trip to GP Esso with my Zed Guarantor

 

But riding alone also scary siah, I scared of heads on with Malaysia motor gang, somemore I alone & pillion a girl but heng heng at custom there are at least 10 Singapore bikes around

 

Then whack to GP Esso & surprise, see Pauche & his friends. So I tag along with them for makan session at GP

 

Going back is tiring siah, I pillion my Zed Guarantor from GP Kopi diam to Marine Parade to take her handbag, then ride her to Chua Chu Kang to drop her, then I ride back to Marine Parade

 

But I still enjoy the short trip
