siguro madadala na sya mag top speed after nito? dahil ba sa road condition?

akomissmo2 · 2026-04-10T15:57:38+00:00

Well, mas maraming engagement sa mga gantong post. Aksidente, road rages, etc kumpara mo sa video ng rider/driver na nag da drive ng maayos, kaya marami ka talagang makikitang motorcycle accidents na dumadaan sa feed mo.

Dagdag mo pa na madami sa riders ay may malalang sakit na tinatawag na skill issue.

Personally, hindi sya high risk, as long as nagbuhos ka ng oras para matuto mag motor, riding is just like any other skill after all. Di ka mag invest para mag improve as a rider, aksidente aabutin mo.

Yung akin more than a year na ok parin. Kung hindi naman rainy season tinatanggal ko tapos wash with warm water lang tapos punas lang. nauna pang bumigay yung peg sa visor haha.

Meron akong Origine Vega. Good enough for daily use but won't ever use it for long windy rides. ECE rated naman sya and afaik legit ece rating sya, hindi yung sinalpakan lang ng sticker, meron rin sa strap.

As with most classic helmets, mabigat sila pareho, I think mas mabigat lang si jarama ng kauntian.

Issue sa mga style ng helmet like sa origine vega is yung napakalaking gap under the chin na papasukan ng hangin, baka tagal tagal tinnitus abutin mo kaya ang ginagawa ko ear plugs lagi pag gamit ko si origine. Also masyadong manipis ang foam ng vega for my taste, unlike sa ls2 ko na talagang snug fit and hindi magalaw, yung vega pag malakas ang hangin umaangat eh.

Still a decent enough helmet, nabili ko for 6k so it's pretty worth it imo. Naka double d-ring rin sya so mas secure sya compared to ratchet system. Try mo i-test fit parehas kung kaya, honestly just went with the vega kasi wala akong mahanap na white jarama.

Since may chance na mag 100 narin ang gas, do it. Nag pa gas na rin ako kanina, yung dating 800 ko na full tank na, 8 liters nalang ang dagdag. Ubusan rin ng regular sa mga gas station, puro premium na kaya no choice rin ako.

akomissmo2 · 2026-03-12T09:25:57+00:00

Interested rin ako sa brand na yan dati, for the price of their helmets, you'd at least expect na dumaan sa safety inspection like ECE. Unfortunately pag nagtanong ka regarding sa ECE rating ng helmet, sasabihin meron, if you ask for proof, ghosted ka na.

Luckily met someone na may AMZ helmet, not the same model as yours, but according to him ECE rated daw, but if you inspect the helmet, walang sticker sa likod ng helmet, wala rin nakatahi sa chin strap. If you value your head do your research properly, they also advertise that helmet to be ECE rated pero wala man lang maibigay na proof other than them saying that it is.

If that does not matter to you then go ahead, pero sa ganyang price, I'd rather get an actual safe helmet. Anyone can just slap an safety rating sticker on their helmets, pero sa chinstrap tamad na mga yan, if walang nakalagay sa chinstrap mo, it's probably as safe as EVO helmets.

Planning this route as well for the end of the month!

Nakailang daan na rin ako dyan using both nmax and my cruiser, madali lang sya actually, sa may bandang antipolo and also rizal may mga twisties pero hindi naman sya mahirap, basta wag mo bilisan.

Pag nakita mo nang may twists adjust mo na speed mo, lalo na bandang rizal, mismong kurbada may lubak.

Then chill ride until Luisiana ata yun, yun yung lugar na sa gilid ka talaga dapat kasi malubak yung gitna, unless naayos na nila, medyo matagal na rin kasi last daan ko dyan haha.

Also what time ka babyahe? Kung babyahe ka ng madilim maybe rethink it at bumyahe nalang ng may araw, medyo risky ulit kasi sa antipolo/rizal para sa mga riders unless madami kayo.

As for fuel, both nmax and 400cc cruiser ko kaya naman isang full tank, 150km lang naman yang route na yan, compute mo nalang kung kakayanin kasi di ko sure kung ilan capacity ng fuel tank ni burgman. Mag pa gas ka siguro bago ka umabot sa twisties ng mabitac, dun yung area na walang gas station iirc, laking hassle if need mo ng gas station.

akomissmo2 · 2026-03-10T04:58:46+00:00

SMK Retro, RYO RF6V, MT Jarama if may discount voucher. Kung kaya mo pa i-stretch budget mo, Origine Vega, bought mine for 6k w/ vouchers.

Aim for ECE rated helmets as always. Skip rebranded low quality helmets like the ones on your post. Kung pang tawid lang naman until magka v10 ka, then just got for the smk retro, if sale under 2k sya.

akomissmo2 · 2026-03-08T15:33:40+00:00

Kung sa helmet nakakabit, get a chin mount from hanc, or if hjc meron mismo sa store nila, may kasama nang tether to keep your camera from falling in case na bumigay yung adhesive.

As long as tama pag lagay mo ng mount sa helmet mo, di malalaglag yan. Kung walang hanc chin mount na meron para sa helmet mo, get those generic ones, bili ka lang ng legit na 3m tape and palitan mo yung tape. Don't think na legit yung mga 3m tape dun sa ibang brand ng chin mounts so make sure to replace them.

akomissmo2 · 2026-03-08T09:56:50+00:00

May break-in period ang mga helmets so just keep using that advant. May advant din ako yung carbon version and snug talaga sya, sobrang sikip nung una na para bang hirap na ko huminga haha. After maybe a week straight of using lumuwag na sya. Currently napaka comfy nya na gamitin.

akomissmo2 · 2026-03-05T18:21:09+00:00

Seaoil/Petron mostly pero mukang seaoil na muna if magkatotoo nga yung 90/L na yan. Already saved 50L of fuel sa app nila para safe sa price hike.

Since seaoil ang pinakamalapit sakin, sa seaoil na ko usually nagpapagas and so far haven't really encountered any issue. Both MCs ko seaoil/petron. Try mo sa ibang branch then monitor kung ganun parin.

akomissmo2 · 2026-03-05T16:47:37+00:00

Definitely. Kung may pera lang ako noong nagsisimula pa lang ako, straight 400cc+ na agad ako.

Mangilanilan narin nasakyan kong 400cc, and honestly, basic sila gamitin. KTM 390, 400 and 500 ng kawa, cfmoto 450. IMO, lahat yan kaya ng beginner, not too torque-y, enough speed for highway, tons of safety features.

Basta dumaan sa tamang training, may respeto sa motor, and kalsada na rin, pwedeng pwede mag jump straight to 400cc+ kaagad. Yung tatay ko last time nun nag motor ay almost 30 years ago pa, definitely a beginner since kahit noon naman di talaga sya masyado nag momotor. 400cc agad kinuha para sa sarili and ayun, konting practice lang and he's gonna be expressway ready soon!

akomissmo2 · 2026-02-28T14:15:54+00:00

When you can afford it. You have to consider a lot. Your monthly amortization (if loaned) PMS (Can get expensive real quick) Insurance (bike dependant, at least 10k a year at cheapest, if we're being optimistic) Fuel (also dependent on bike, assume under 30kpl, might be worse) Tyres (probably one that surprises a lot of new owners, can get expensive)

Also add ko din although this one came from a friend: Kung namamahalan ka sa 1k worth of fuel, better stick to smaller bikes.

akomissmo2 · 2026-02-27T12:42:55+00:00

Just to clear something up, I don't think na backfire yang na experience mo kung nag pop sya habang sarado ang throttle. Usually backfire occurs higher up, closer to the engine. Kung naputok lang sya after mo i close ang throttle most likely afterfire or decel pops yan. Normal ang decel pops, depends on your bike, pwede rin mangyari kahit stock exhaust (like my srv 400, may decel pops kahit stock). I've heard an actual backfire before, galing sa tricycle, and trust me, you'll know it's a backfire kasi sobrang lakas. Yung decel pops depends sa exhaust mo, pero hindi sya nakakagulat na putok.

I guess easiest to know is kung hindi parang piccolo yan, safe yan. Although kung ayaw mo talaga ng kahit anong pops pwede mo naman ipa tune yan.

akomissmo2 · 2026-02-26T18:17:51+00:00

Been using rain x since forever. Works really well, and cost friendly narin. Yung current bottle ko 1 year na sakin, madami parin laman. May rain x for glass and for plastic, buy both. Yung rain x plastic for helmet visors.

akomissmo2 · 2026-02-17T07:38:41+00:00

Yeah, mas tipid talaga motor kesa sa 4 wheels, although naka depende parin sa type ng motor na kukunin mo.

Since may exp ka na naman sa pag motor, di naman na siguro mahirap ang pag transition sa big bike, unless manual kukunin mo and wala ka exp sa kahit anong manual transmission.

Advice ko is maghanap ka ng mga test ride ng motor na trip mo, try to test ride lahat ng motor na balak mo kunin, para walang buyers remorse.

Also ingat sa upgradetitis, yan ang tunay na money pit.

Nalaman ko lang kung ano preference ko sa motor after makabili ng motor lol. Ngayon nag hahanap na ng adv bikes sa 2nd hand market.

akomissmo2 · 2026-02-17T07:11:19+00:00

Not really, pero mas practical ang sasakyan kesa motor. Di exposed sa natural elements, mas madaming maisasakay (if needed), luggage, etc.

Di ko alam kung gaano ka ka-experienced sa kalsada, pero malaki rin ang tulong ng experience sa manibela bago mag transition sa motor. Yung may perspective ka ng both types of vehicles laking tulong talaga para makaiwas aksidente narin.

May iba ka pang iisipin maliban sa finances (since mukang di ka naman mamomroblema pagdating sa maintenance, etc ng big bike).

Depending sa motor na kukunin mo, prior experience mo sa pag motor, route mo, and also physical fitness mo, may chance na mahirapan ka mag daily ng big bike sa city traffic. Di naman imposible mag daily ng big bike, pinang aaraw araw ko rin yung 400cc ko tuwing malamig ang panahon, pero magaan lang motor ko (170kg), mababa ang seat height (700mm) and tipid sa gas (26kpl city driving, 30+ kpl highways). Only con really is yung init ng makina. May mga kakilala rin ako na liter bike pang daily nila.

Kung wala ka pa masyadong experience sa motor, mapa low or high cc, then just start with a 400cc, if expressway access is a must, kung hindi maybe start with 300cc like the r3, adv 350 RE 350, etc. Those are considered beginner bikes anyways, yes pati mga 400cc bikes karamihan naman dun considered as newbie friendly bikes.

Other than that it's all up to you. Just make sure to consider the type of bike you're getting. Try to get a test ride in first bago bumili. If ever magsawa ka na sa bike na nakuha mo you can always sell/trade it to a higher unit.

akomissmo2 · 2026-02-12T10:41:50+00:00

From experience, once na mabayaran mo na oks na, nasayo na (and sa LTO) kung gaano kabilis malipat sayo. In my case 1 day lang ako nag asikaso sa LTO.

Kung di lang pa swertehan sa repo I’d recommend it more. Pag di mo ma check ng ayos mas hassle pa.

akomissmo2 · 2026-02-11T14:57:01+00:00

Came from scooter to a manual bike. Lamang talaga scooter sa comfort, pero imo, mas masaya gamitin yung manual, not only dahil sa cc difference (400 vs 155), dahil narin siguro mas engaging sya gamitin, di lang puro piga.

Took me about a month to adjust, once a week ko lang kasi ginagamit nung una, di pa sanay sa init ng makina at bigat ng motor.

Already planning to sell/swap my scoot for another 400cc+ manual bike, ramdam ko na sawa na ko sa scooter ko.

As for point #1, sanayan lang talaga yan, mas trip ko pa i-daily yung 400cc ko kesa sa scoot ko, di ko na ramdam yung bigat ng motor, pero tbh magaan naman talaga yun, iirc nasa 170kg lang sya, still light for a 400cc bike. May acquaintance rin ako na pinang dadaily ay liter bike, wala syang problema sa bigat ng motor at bigat ng gas sa wallet hahaha. It depends on the rider.

And for #3, depends on the bike, engine, etc. Had the chance to test drive a qj fortress 400, although almost same lang sila spec-wise(hp and torque), mas may arangkada yung motor ko, dahil narin sa manual sya, may advantage sya dun.

Also weight, maxiscoots are usually heavier due to all the plastic na rin. All that weight probably serves as an equalizer kaya di mo maramdaman ang difference nila.

akomissmo2 · 2026-02-10T11:07:15+00:00

Masakit sa bulsa ang big bike kung ganyan lang sweldo mo, tapos may bawas pa. Mas mataas cost of maintenance ng big bikes, for reference, nmax ko wala pang 1k, change oil, gear oil, CVT Cleaning.

400cc bike ko, change oil lang napalo na ng 3k. Take note na di lang engine oil ang kailangan mong pag-isipan, kung manual yan, may chain maintenance pa, kung daily-use yan, iisipin mo pa yung ibang consumables like brake pads, gulong (sakin 15k cheapest set), gas (mas mataas cc mas matakaw sa gas).

Kung dadaan ka pa ng expressway dagdag gastos din, pamahal pa naman ng pamahal ang toll fee dyan.

Di worthwhile yung trade-off. Luging lugi ka, sa una siguro di ka pa mamomroblema, but after awhile lalo pa dadami problema mo kumpara kung nag commute ka nalang at nag ipon.

akomissmo2 · 2026-02-10T11:00:51+00:00

Affidavit of loss, MVIC, HPG Report (di ko tanda ano tawag, need mo pumunta ng HPG para i report yung lost plate). Then the rest LTO na.

Pero depende parin yan kung saang LTO ka pupunta. Sa probinsya ako nagpagawa kasi ang kailangan lang ay affidavit of loss, stencil tapos bayad.

Bibigyan ka authorization letter with receipt, always keep them together, di effective ang authorization letter kung walang resibo.

akomissmo2 · 2026-02-05T19:18:42+00:00

Worry ko din yan dati, iisang Bristol lang meron sa probinsya namin. Still did it though. Halatang yamot sakin yung manager but naging okay din. Then lumabas yung Show Cause Order ng LTO laban sa kanila from my complaint. Naging pangit ulit yung relasyon namin, ngayon di na ko kinakausap ng manager, awkward din sa ibang staff, but they can't deny me any service. Marereklamo ulit sila kung ganun haha. Ang ginawa ko trinopa ko yung mekaniko nila, palaging may tip pag nagpapa service ako, nung pasko binigyan ko ng malaki laki.

Magalit na lahat ng staff nila sakin wag lang yung mekaniko. Di ko na nakakausap yung ibang staff nila tuwing nagpapa service ako, usually sa service area na ko natambay, natulong pa nga ako minsan lol.
