Jalan Sentul - Motorcyclist Heaven

Jalan Sentul, Kuala Lumpur (GPS Coordinate : 3°10'28.66"N 101°41'33.98"E) is one of the busiest motorcycle workshops area in Malaysia. Many shops doing repair in this area, there are various bike undergoing repair from simple tyre change to more major overhaul.
I was there looking for few spares for my scooter, SYM VTS 200 belt priced at RM 85.00 each this is the original Japanese made Bando belt. Tools for bike repair I didn't manage to get any, due what I'm looking for are few specialise tools.
Good fun place to be for those that incline towards mechanical gizmos especially bikes. 
People from all walk of life is there, and those shops really competing with each other to get customer. 
Mopeds and scooters dominate this area, however there are bigger bikes around doing minor accessories upgrade.  
Don't know how good are their workmanship, it may be a good idea to closely monitor their job. After all its your life is at risk if anything wrong. 
There are few guys where their job is to call on potential customer. They will approach you to see what you need, and if you don't show any interest they just check on others. In all they are not bad, they don't harassed you or do anything nasty. 
Being a biker for so long, make me feel right at home in these surrounding. Its best not to rush to any particular shop once your reach there, take your time roam around get the feel of that area. Once you overcome your excitement only then you check on what ever you need.
 This guy with his scooter SYM 250i Evo just get his rear tyre changed, the old tyre Maxxis shows sign of bulging and he changed to Bridgestone Scooter tyre. Not cheap this Bridgestone RM 200+++ for the rear.
I was there for my VTS belt and few other stuff, will visit again next time.
