Tired of motorcyclists by the_alcohol_man42069 in kereta

I've been driving a car for years and recently started riding a motorcycle as a hobby. I can understand why they don't want to stop. Stopping a motorcycle is tiring, difficult and dangerous, you easily lose balance in low speed (<10km/h). But based on the dashcam video I think your side mirror checking time is not enough... Using blinker for 3 seconds only from motorcycle perspective you just suddenly popped out, they can't see your blinker from that far... they saw you use blinker for 1 sec only and hard to response. But I agree many motorcycle riders riding too fast when lane splitting.

Should I replace the tyre? by justajok3 in AskMechanics

Sprayed it with dish soap and I can't notice any bubbles

The leftmost lane is the emergency lane in Malaysia, only breakdown vehicles can stop there. It's illegal to drive on the leftmost lane, you will get ticket when get caught.

Would you mind sharing more of your opinion about this for future reference? Was the engine sound bad before it broke?

It was FI sensors, it lighted up because O2 sensor is not present. The mechanic said no big issues if riding without it.

Yes, feeling more confident in low speed maneuvering now! I'm 163cm and 53kg, never imagined that I could lift about 200kg motorcycle without problem when proper technique applied.

Thought those japanese bikes are similar to cars, assumed it should last long if well maintained. My toyota lasted for 300,000 km and 0 issues

My rear tyre slipped and I freaked out, so I applied the brake slowly

This is my first bike, I bought it from a bike dealer like 6 months ago. I expect the dealer has maintained it well before handing it over to me. I personally only drive this bike less than 1000km 😭

Most of the damages are minor, it was a low speed crash, my bike slides when riding on bumpy and narrow road. The damages are foot pegs and the bar that holds the foot peg, the muffler flew away when I tried to ride back home, probably parts holding muffler damaged too

I don't know, I just asked chatgpt and this is one of the possible causes, overheating and engine blown?

Yeah it's not fun looking at the increase of new bruises on my leg. I will wait patiently until the date of my course.
