Newbie Rider aiming for B-Full

minizian — Wed, 15 Nov 2023 00:02:27 +0800

As per title, I am newbie motorcyclist without any prior experience in it aiming for B Full.
I have few questions as below:

0) Should I get proper riding boots, glove, pants, jacket and obviously helmet before starting my lesson? if so, how much would that be cost generally for decent kit. Don't mind spend a little bit more on safety kit since i forsee that jatuh bodoh would happen.

1) Is there any biking gear shop that can be recommended where I can go as newbie and try it out instead being pushed around for the sake of sales.

2) Is it necessary to get an personal bike to train on other than going through the bike at Driving School?

3) Is a 150CC sport bike (R15/GSXR150/CBR150/Etc) considered a good bike to begin with? I am considering this over kapchai since sport bike had different riding requirement which I think its transferable to higher CC bike should I choose to do? Or I should be better off with proper big CC bike like Dominar 400 for a start. I tried on those 250 bikes and I find it to heavy for me (skinny arm) hence looking at those 150cc sportbike.

4) I am skinny build guy but 170CM height person and 65kg, should i be worried with the heavier bike that was used in driving school (I think Jaguh and Vulcan are used in the place I enrolled in).

5) Is there any advance riding course outside that I can attend once I got my lesen? I have Keith Code book on the side but I dont think it would be helpful prior unless I got the bike myself. I think I am more like "learn as you go" type of rider.

6) This may sound silly but my research suggest to me that bikes price varies between dealership? and availability is depending if one is paying full cash vs someone taking loan (I am more keen on cash payment). Sorry for such Q since I am coming from car world where prices are more or less fixed as per RRP.

Think that what I can think of now.

Look forward for answer from fellow members.

*Seems like now I can get L lesen straight away without doing undang2 test at JPJ, just need find time to convert my lesen.

Wheels/Sport Rim Refurb

minizian — Wed, 11 May 2022 12:36:29 +0800

Just wanted to know if there any decent shop that can help to refurb wheels as I just got myself some used wheel.

It would need some deep cleaning and also proper wheel re-spray into different colour..

I have randomly check with few tires shop and noticed that prices ranging from RM450 to RM650 for all 4 piece of wheels.

The question is I not sure which shop is the legit one and which shop I should avoid it.

Some old thread i found here https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/649871/+20

where it shares that Heap Soon tyre are one the better shop around which oven bake the wheels. Are they still that good?

Found this one too from older thread https://www.facebook.com/sls160523/

Any other recommendation would be helpful for sure

Mold on Car (Cushion) Seat Cleaning

minizian — Tue, 29 Sep 2020 11:47:30 +0800

Hi Guys,

I wanna ask, my friend preve seat (non leather seat, just regular cushion type) is getting mold as he left it there while he was stuck overseas unable to get back to current travel ban.

Can you guys recommend a good place that does good job around KL town itself please.

I dont think normal car seat will do the trick as it is currently moldy hence I reckon some specialize cleaning is recommended.

I tried post in subforum but do not get any responses hence opening out a thread about it.

Topaz Labs DeNoise AI Feedback

I just wanna ask if anyone of you actually used the above application? I know they have Trial version but I just want to be certain before I pull the trigger.

Keep seeing various video review by photographers in YouTube which make it look like absolute real deal. However, it seems like most review and forum review are in a way sponsored by them via commission (click on the link to buy) which I usually tend to take it with pinch of salt.

Not sure if there any real user who can give real world feedback about this and since there is no active topic here so I decide to post it here.

I primary shoot Canon Full Frame and Micro 4/3 and I am using RawTherapee as my raw processing tool for images.

Price to let go: RM4000 with shimano 11speed freehub attached. Cassette in the photo is NOT INCLUDED … Fulcrum wheelbag is included

This is non basic fulcrum racing speed, not the XLR version.

Location: KL (we discuss where and when to meet if you are interested in it)

Dealing method: COD

Notes:
-The tubular tires attached is not usable anymore, so you need to change it when you intend to use it on the road as I no longer riding.
-Only did around 700ish km ride in it over its life.
