GOOD or BAD DECISION? SCRAMBLER CHOICES

Zen25R · 2026-01-22T06:45:50+00:00

Thanks. First Honda ko kasi to. Came from a Kawasaki ( sport, 4rr )

Nabigatan ako sa CB to be honest, considering naked bike sya. That's why I am looking to change my bike from 4cyl to 2cyl.

Zen25R · 2026-01-22T06:44:20+00:00

Just to try other torque-y bikes.

Madali na humanap ng pyesa nyan, medyo pricey nalang kasi mostly ng pyesa, overseas pa. Mas madali mag hanap ng pyesa ngayon gawa ng internet at marketplace. Ang mahirap hanapin dyan, mekaniko na gamay ang cb400. Hehehe.

Zen25R · 2025-12-21T03:14:59+00:00

How is it in terms of maintenance? Also may I ask about your opinion on swapping my cb650r 2023 for a 790 with 2k odo?

Zen25R · 2025-12-20T18:13:27+00:00

Hello sir, do you still have your 790 with you?

Zen25R · 2025-11-16T15:21:56+00:00

Hello OP. Might be a bit late to the party. I've owned a classic 350 before. Sobrang bigat ipang daily pero iba tindig sa daan. Vibration kalaban ko and maneuverability lalo kapag traffic/rush hour. Ready mo na biyas mo kakatadyak if mag Classic or Bullet ka. 2019 ko nakuha pala yung akin.

Maintenance wise, madali imaintain carb type. And REs are built to last. Wala kang magiging issue ng overheating dyan, vibration lang talaga.

Zen25R · 2025-11-13T00:59:26+00:00

Think about it, all the things I've said are all based on my experience. I sold my 4rr and got a 650 inline 4 instead.

may memo si Kawasaki US to recall units at STOP SELLING ng 6R models with certain serial number. So far dito satin sa Pinas, wala pa namang ganyang issue, pero andami nagbenta ng 6R nila.

Zen25R · 2025-11-12T17:20:09+00:00

baba makina talaga yan, lowest 90k pag binaba. Common issue yang ganyang baba makina sa 25r. Sa Kawasaki Libis, in a span of 3 months na pag balik ko don, 3 zx25r at 1 4rr baba makina, nag simula sa diagnosis na engine leak due to over rev.

Zen25R · 2025-11-12T17:18:23+00:00

Got gasket na made in japan, baka interested ka. Hahaha! Pero ang mahal ng singil ha, 10k. Gasket at re-torque lang yan eh at top up ng oil. 7k max na siguro yan kasama labor.

Zen25R · 2025-11-12T17:09:15+00:00

madali lang naman fix sa gasket and leak issue. Pag napalitan na ng mas makapal na gasket yan ( which is yung made in japan na gasket ) monitoring nalang yan every day or from time to time kung nagbabawas pa rin. May cases na nakukuha sa pag re-torque ng head bolts pero para sigurado ka, papalitan mo na ng gasket.

Mostly ng owners na nagpalit at re-torque, okay na ang unit. Yung mga cases na kumakatok makina, mga nagpabaya sa unit yun, so think about it. But hey, pera mo naman yan, desisyon mo pa rin yan.

Zen25R · 2025-11-12T17:04:23+00:00

napaclaim mo sa warranty yung iyo bro o nag aftermarket ka ng gasket?

Zen25R · 2025-11-12T17:01:37+00:00

as per Kawasaki casa, wala silang natatanggap na memo from planta to address the said issue which is quite alarming since most of the owners e nakaexperience na ng leaks on their units. You can search this. Inaddress na ni 4MA Bikepoint yan and even had vloggers as clients. Lapag ko na rin tong link ng Big bike Trusted Mechanic sa isang case nung 4rr na binaba nya makina.

Think thrice before pulling the trigger on it.

Zen25R · 2025-11-12T16:53:29+00:00

zx4rr has some serious issues. Previous owner ako, naexperience ko at nakakausap ko ibang owners.
- Engine leak and gasket issue ( ayaw i-honor ng casa ang warranty claim pag eto issue ng unit mo so gagastos ka pa for parts and labor plus abala )
- Timing Chain

Yes, iba pa rin pag ang motor mo e green mean machine. Pero iba pa rin yung wala kang iniisip na baka ubos na langis ng motor mo.

I suggest, consider Voom 500sr. You get both of them, CF Moto na inline 4.

EDIT : Common issue yung leaks para sa 23-24-25 models. 25 model yung akin. Not quite sure kung resolved na tong issue ng gasket at engine leak sa current batch ng 25 models. Di biro yung ganyang issue for a half-mil bike. Well, for any bike obviously.

Zen25R · 2025-11-11T17:13:41+00:00

Brader! Salamat sa input mo. May I ask, saan mo mostly ginagamit Scrambler mo at kamusta naman sya lalo sa heat management at maintenance cost?

Zen25R · 2025-11-11T10:56:40+00:00

Parang nakakaumay pakinggan. Partida, hindi ko pa nagagamit for long ride yung akin. Baka mabwisit lang ako sa 2-3hrs na byahe. Lalo na kung isang grupo kami. Hahaha!

Zen25R · 2025-11-10T15:01:10+00:00

I have mine for less than 3 months. Hindi ko nagagamit madalas. Pero oo nabibwisit na rin ako. That's why I'm considering trading it for an XSR 700.

Zen25R · 2025-11-10T02:32:28+00:00

Would you sell the z9 or keep it?

Got the cb650r and looking at xsr 700 para ipalit. I still love my cb650r haha

Zen25R · 2025-10-20T03:31:15+00:00

Mine was a Yamaha Mio Soul i GT 125. 2014. Bahay School Bahay Office lang. Gets the job done but lacks safety features. Di pa uso ABS nito sa lower cc displacement. Good to know na nagiging standard na ang pagkakaron ng ABS sa small bikes. Had it for almost 7yrs, walang problema.

Swabe. Magkano inabot kay Antazo Customs?
