Nasihat Biker Tua untuk Isu "Pelesit Jalanan"

Image
Pelesit oh Pelesit Sekarang hangat isu bikers "Pelesit Jalanan" ini saja mainan media supaya dapat menengelami isu isu yand lebih penting dimasakini. Budak budak bikers pulak melenting tak tentu pasal. Bagi saya lebih elok perbaiki diri sendiri saja daripada melenting tak menentu. Buktikan yang kita benar, tak merempit atau membesit dijalan raya - Ada Berani ? Dibawah satu contoh yang saya sendiri lalui semasa memandu. Ada saya kena dgn Versys 650 di lebuh raya pantai timur ketika itu saya di laluan kanan. Dia kasi high beam.... yg bangang nya ialah masa itu saya sedang memotong lori dan bas... bayangkan mana nak pegi. Saya pon bikers, selalu saya bila bikers datang dari belakang saya akan tunggu tengok reaksi dia. Takut takut dia cilok semasa saya nak kekiri. Lepas beberapa saat saya akan beri laluan, tapi kalau sudah nampak dari jauh saya akan beri laluan terlebih dahulu. Tak payah beam beam pon, sebab saya bikers dan saya pentingkan keselamatan mereka. Berbal...

BMW C600 Sport Owner Review - Long Distance

Image
Today 27th December 2012 my scooter clocked 2525 km total after slightly more than a month usage. I pick it up on 23rd November : Here Use if for commuting occasionally alternating with my SYM VS 150  and done few ride with friend taking twisties at Genting Sempah and Kuala Klawang corners and over longer distance to Penang, Malaysia.  Scooter handling is different from that of a bike, firstly it being a CVT Automatic it doesn't have that engine braking or the "Drop Gear" function as normal bike do. Instead we has to rely on brakes for corner entry and that takes some time to adjust if you don't ride scooter  that often In Kuala Klawang and Genting Sempah, these are stretches where most twisties are. Klawang being the back road which is more dangerous, has many more obstacles short corners as compared to Genting Sempah where it more hilly and longer cornering sweep. Both places this scooter did handle well, with Pirelli Diablo Scooter tyres hugging the road a...

Rear Tyre Puncture - Internal Patch

Image
Just a few days out tire got punctured by a very fine wire, its very minute but during bubble leak check there are bubbles forming at the puncture point. Temporarily I use the Puncture repair kit, but then for high speed and prolong usage its best to get it internally fixed. So I drop by Welly in Subang Perdana, Shah Alam for a quick fix.  Tire was removed, 5 torx screw No. 45 holding it. This bike uses Torx fasterners, so I need to get a set of Torx wrenches handy for my own use. To get the wheel out, the Exhaust need to be move aside a bit for clearance. The exhaust mounting need to be undo and the pipe clamp loosen as photos below.  Below is the exhaust pipe clamp which need to be loosen. Once out can be removed for internal patch.  This is a 15 inch wheel Pirelli Diablo Scooter fitted as standard for this scooter from BMW. Care has to be taken during tyre removal due to Tyre Pressure Monitoring Sensor (TPMS) is mounted inside the wheel. That is ...

A short video review of the BMW C600 Sport Scooter.

SYM VS 150 atau SYM Excel II

Image
Ok.. ni motor SYM Excel II atau ada tempat bagi nama SYM VS 150.., tapi kat Malaya ni masa itu jadi buatan Mofaz dan diberi nama yg cukup menarik sebagai Genzo G 150S. Motor Fan (Air) Cooled kecil 149 cc lebih kurang itu ler.. dibawa masuk pada tahun 2008, masa tu SYM bukan satu jenama yg dikenali ramai di sini. Walau pon begitu buatannya cukup kemas.. Anda masih ingat SYM GTS 200, ya motor itu pon di bawa pada masa yg sama.. dan terbukti lebih power dari VTS 200 sekarang. Lampu hadapan dua bijik.. kiri kanan, dua dua akan menyala serentak pada low beam dan juga high beam.. tak lah tempang seperti SYM 250i. Atas pada head light tu ada dua LED light.. ini DRL (Daytime Running Light) seperti pada BMW C600 Sport, tapi tahun 2008 dah ada kat mesin Taiwan ini. Signal pada handle, mengunakan mentol biasa tetapi motor ini dilengkapi dengan signal light pada side mirrornya seperti motor motor mahal. Brek hadapan sama seperti Modenas Elegan, dan sungguh berkesan. Brek belakang meng...
