Wsalam En Ahmad Naqib. Maintenance for this bike is not that high. Normal engine oil change every 5000km, tyre change, top up coolant, chnge brake pads, among others. Also depends on how you ride the bike. Most people like to ride hard. So, it could ruin your engine faster. By the way, if you want to use the bike for commuting on the highway, I would suggest you to buy MT-09 tracer. You can get the bike for the same price as duke 690R.

Tq for your reply. Would you mind to share how much exactly the cost for the parts which you mention earlier? Most probably will buy KTM Duke 690 since i really like this bike. Would also be using this bike for daily commuting (go to office/lepak). Weekend ride to visit my wife at Ipoh (twice a month).

For engine oil around RM100 if motorex or half the price if elf, and you need 2 bottles plus 2 oil filters, easily hit RM300 plus for normal change engine oil service. Tyre front around 500 and rear tyre around 700. Brake pad front around 600 and rear brake pad around 400. Few months ago, I had problem with my camshaft, cost about a thousand to repair. And recently, my braking system got stolen, I had to spend about 5000 to replace with a new one. It is costly if coming from kapcai user's perspective, but if you can buy the bike, it shouldn't be a problem to you.

2022 Suzuki SV650

After three years of dormancy, I'm finally back on the bike and eager to share my experiences with you all. In this post, I want to talk about the Suzuki SV650, a middleweight-class motorcycle that I recently acquired. Earlier this year, I was in search of a new bike for my daily commute to the office. My small scooter, which had served me well during the pandemic, had become unreliable after I rode it nearly 100km per day. One day, while riding full throttle on the highway, the drive belt snapped in the middle of the PLUS highway. I had to push my bike to the Kajang toll gate before a good samaritan, a Grab rider, helped me push it to a workshop in Bandar Baru Bangi. It was clear that I needed a more reliable and robust bike for my daily commute. Initially, I considered a few entry-level bikes, such as the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 and the KTM Duke 390. However, I soon found myself drawn to the middleweight class, which included the Honda CB650R, Yamaha MT07, Kawasaki Z650, Suzuki

Just a month after I bought my SV650, Fiza's friend offered her husband's motorcycle at a very attractive price. Apparently, her husband had given up riding and was willing to let go of the bike. After discussing it with me, I immediately told her to grab it because the mileage was fairly low. They settled the deal in just 15 minutes and over the following weekend, we went to JB to pick up the bike. To our surprise, the previous owner not only handed over the bike but also everything else, including riding jackets, boots, helmets, gloves, and more. Even the bike came with extras like a windscreen, new levers, engine guard, belly pan, tail bag, and bike cover. He said he didn't have time or passion for riding anymore, which was evident from the fact that the bike had only 174 km mileage after more than a year. The bike had not even had the first service yet! Before I bought my SV650, I had considered the Triumph Trident 660, but the price was way more expensive. Fiza, on the

One of the wishes I have on my bucket list is to own a big bike before I hit 40. A long time ago (in the year 1997 to be exact), when I came back from Japan after finishing my studies, I wanted to cry looking at the price tag of big cc motorcycles in Malaysia. Due to all kinds of taxes imposed by the government, they are ridiculously expensive!! Probably, the most expensive in the world! (How ironic, big bikes are cheaper in Singapore than here??) With the fresh grad salary I was getting at that time, there was no way I could afford to buy one. If I want to purchase one, I have to choose between owning a big bike or a car. With family on the way, I had to choose the latter. With a car, I can ferry my family around. Fast forward to the present time, only at the end of last year, I realized I still didn't fulfill this wish. I already have in my mind a few bikes within my budget to consider including Monster, Shiver, Versys, Dorsoduro, 800GS, Z800, and Street Triple. Finally, I ch
