Well, have install the heaviest one.. but not much problem squeezing through traffic. Well, used to squeeze through CTE during heavy jam... no problem... Juz be focus and your belief, if you think you can, you will. If you think of safety, my advice is stay with the traffic... and note to avoid vehicle like taxi, MPV and dun you think that might endanger your life.

 

It's the way, you ride. As I ride bigger bike than this before, the difficult is more. And I found that X8 is very good in squeezing around traffic, as long as you are able to respond fast enough... no problem...

 

Only Words "Road Confidence is very important" Hope this will helps.

eh bro got e heaviest meh?:smile:

But somehow i feel squeezing riding scrambler is much easier than scoot :confused: mayb bcos the weight is at the centre of the bike as for scoot is shifted more to the rear :confused: or mayb juz psychological :confused:

Anyway hopefully nothing happens..coz gonna be away 4 some time due 2 dployment nxt week...:cry:

Only b back end of jan...:giddy:

i had mine installed already also, but then istead of it being sensitive i think the sensitivity is not quite enough..

 

I tried shaking the top box at the backand it dint went off only until i exert alittle more, is it difficult to reset the sentivity...

 

but then the alarm did went off once today when i was away from the bike.. What do u guys check for when u realise that ur bike was touched, as signalled by the red light from the alarm...

 

 

Can i also check with you guys how you all adjust your suspension.. heard from tbteng that its not that diff can any one educate me a bit on this...

The last time my alarm went off was wen my scoot was moved to another spot. Noticed some scratches on the side and top box. was very angry at that time.

 

For the rear suspension its difficult to explain to you by typing bcos i donno wat is the tools called. but u hav to use tat to rotate the dial on the suspension. make sure both sides of dials are tallied wen u adjust. Its best to show you how to do it :giddy:

it depends on how you shake the bike..... anyway if i not wrong the sensor normally they put in front that's y the front more sentitive than the back.....think can put one more nearer to the back..... saw a X9 doing it if i not wrong.....:smile:
