good every day motorcycle for 17 year old?

Corey

Before I start asking you questions I find it more useful to give you some info about my situation.
Im NOT a beginner when it comes to knowing how to ride a motorcycle. I have been ridding dirt bikes since I was 12. When I was 15-16 years old I raced enduros on my 125cc which are any where from 40-60 miles long and take about 3 hours to complete. No beginner rider would be able to finish one of the enduros. I now ride a ktm 300 xc-w which has around 40-50-hp. I have no problem controlling its power, and if you did not know my dirt bike is a 2 stroke so that means I deal with the power bands so ridding a 4 stroke street bike should not be a problem what ever the engine size is. So I know how to ride a motorcycle but the only time I have ridden on the road was during one of my races just cruising around 50mph to the next check point. My current car is a 1995 4 cylinder jeep that gets around 15mpg and can have a hard time going over 50mph. Also I live in Texas so the summers are HOT and my jeep's air conditioner doesn't work well, so in the summer I drive with the doors off which is about as close to a bike as you can get on 4 wheels. I would mainly ride on roads that are 30-50mph but I would like the bike to be able to cruise at 80mph but still have a little get up and go left. I herd super sport bikes are bad for everyday ridding and I don't want to get a cruiser. I want a sportier bike that is somewhat close to my dirt bike but for the road. Im also looking for a bike that would be the cheapest for me to insure less than $1800 a year for just liability because thats what I am paying on my jeep. So my reason to get a street bike is for better gas milage and I just love 2 wheels. I also herd that insurance is cheaper than cars for just liability. So I am looking to save some money because my jeep is getting to the point where everything is getting ready to be replaced and I don't have the money for a fuel efficient car.
> so I am looking for a daily motorcycle (not a super sport or cruiser)
> something that can cruise on the highway but has good handling at lower speeds
> something that gets good gas milage
> a type of bike that is cheaper to insure than a car
(I would also like if you would tell me what your bike is, if you have one)

Answer
You seemed to be pretty familiar with riding already. I was in the same position when i got my first street bike. A Yamaha Seca or Suzuki are great. You want a cheap but great bike try a hyosung gt650. I started with a Suzuki Sv650. Was a great transition from a dirt bike to street because of the torque it had. Traded it in for an Yamaha R1 after I got comfortable. Try looking at the standard bikes for now at least 600cc or more or you'll just be disappointed. Stay away from a performance bike as a first. As for me I now ride a Yamaha warrior 1700cc it's a wicked cross between a cruiser and crotch rocket. Makes any Harley look like a joke. Just remember on the street you cant take the risks or tricks you normally would do on dirt. Good luck and ride safe!

Where's the best place to stay if you're a foreigner and working in Cyberjaya, Malaysia?

ktm car info image

I'm gonna start working in Cyberjaya, Malaysia next month and I have no idea about the place. I will need a place to stay, can somebody give me some recommendation for a cheap place nearby for 3persons? Can somebody give me the price range and another alternatives place to live outside of Cyberjaya? Thx..

Answer
Please give a little bit time to read and you can get all the info regard to Cyberjaya.....

Cyberjaya is a new planned township with a science park as the core that forms a key part of the Multimedia Super Corridor in Malaysia. It is located in the district of Sepang, Selangor and is situated about 50 km south of Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. This town aspires to be known as the Silicon Valley of Malaysia.
The official opening ceremony for Cyberjaya was held in May 1997 by then Prime Minister, Mahathir bin Mohamad.

Public facilities
As an emerging township, Cyberjaya now has a Police Station Complex, and a Fire Station (Bomba). Apart from that, other public amenities which are already completed includes a small recreational park just next to Multimedia University, the Cyberjaya Community Club, the Sports Arena (which offers outdoor sports facilities), bus shelters, pedestrian walkways and signalised pedestrian crossing at road junctions and more than 700 free parking bays.

Transportation
The completion of the KL-Putrajaya Highway in December 2007 has cut short the travelling time by car from Kuala Lumpur to Cyberjaya to 20 minutes. The KL - Putrajaya Highway allows motorists from Kuala Lumpur and various other places along its alignment to get to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) within 30 minutes. The Highway which ends at the Putrajaya Utama toll plaza links up to the Elite Highway which will then give motorist only another 10 minutes to get to KLIA. However, one still needs about 30 minutes to travel to KLIA from Cyberjaya. Drivers also have a toll-free alternative route now with the completion of the B15 Road extension that passes through Dengkil and Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi. The North-South Expressway Central Link (also known as ELITE Highway) and the North Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE) will make the travelling time from Cyberjaya to Port Klang, the nation's main port to be less than one hour.
Other than the above mentioned highways, Cyberjaya is also linked to other major towns by expressways including Damansara-Puchong Expressway (DPE), South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE) and the North South Expressway (NSE).
KLIA Ekspress provides express rail link (ERL) transit service to Cyberjaya and Putrajaya. Due to the closeness of the these two cities, both share the same station which is located in Putrajaya. There are feeder buses that run from the Putrajaya Sentral to rest of Putrajaya and Cyberjaya. These buses are timed to match with the timing of the train services and cost RM1 for travel within the circle.
To further improve the accessibility to the city, especially for the working population, Cyberview has initiated the Cyberjaya Dedicated Transportation System, with routes running to important hubs within the Klang Valley, Banting, Klang and Seremban. The service runs 24-hours, 7 days a week and the buses are equipped with state-of-the-art tracking devices and monitoring systems to help ensure timeliness of the service and passenger safety.
To improve the internal transportation system within the city, Cyberview has launched a free Park & Ride system which operates a viable alternative for those wishing to park at the designated free parking areas in Cyberjaya and commuting to the various areas of the city.
Cyberjaya also features a single bus terminal, known as the Cyberjaya Transport Terminal. Taxis are also available at the Cyberjaya Transport Terminal.
The neighbouring transportation hub of Putrajaya Sentral provides conventional bus routes from Bandar Utama (U43) and Serdang KTM Komuter (U42); Express Bus Route to Jalan Sultan Mohamad, Kuala Lumpur (E1) and the Local Bus (T429) as a feeder service from Putrajaya Sentral to Cyberjaya.

Residential areas
As of 2005, Cyberjaya still lacks significant residential properties apart from the D'Melor condos, the Cyberia condo and townhouses. This results in de-population of the area when office workers commute home every night.
However, this issue will be resolved soon with the launch of more than 900 units of affordable housing comprising of various type houses by Cyberview. This development, which will be developed in phases, is expected to have a population of more than 3,600 residents once it is fully developed.
The Cyberview Lodge Spa Resorts also have a few Villas managed by them, which are situated just across the road from the Spa Hotel. The name of the Villas is Cyberview Garden Villas. They offer apartments for both short and longer stays. The hotel reception has all the required information.

Good luck hope you get what you need....

Is it safe to go to kuala lumpur alone?

ktm car info image

D.Connolly

i roughly know the city area to get to places via the monorial /ktm etc.. so i will not be taking a taxi over there..
but will it be safe for a lady alone to be travelling over there?
places that i will be going are like petaling street/the museum/the towers/mosque/masjid india but will not go to any night spots.

help out thanks
i'm not a local and no matter i try to blend it i will still wont look like a local malaysian

Answer
Hmm..travelling ALONE around Kuala Lumpur is sometimes not very advisable..its the best if you could bring somebody to go along with you..but for your info, Kuala Lumpur is actually a very safe city to do your own sightseeing and that will be including petaling street/the museum/the towers/mosque/masjid india and others..just be wary of pick pockets and strangers who stopped you to sell you things or asking directions from inside their car..

we never know when bad things gonna happen..so just be extra caution whenever you go, alright? but dont worry too much as you wont be enjoying your trip to Kuala Lumpur.. :-)

Clutch on my KTM dirtbike isn't engaging properly. what could this be?

Glen y

I have a 2006 KTM 450 sx, i just recently had the engine rebuilt and since it has come bak, the clutch wont engage properly. Ive tried bleeding the line like you would car brakes, and adjusting the lever itself. It doesn't seem to help, what else should i check? Is there a different way to bleed the lines? I was going to bring the bike back to the place where i ahd the engine rebuilt, but it wud save me a trip if i could just fix it myself. Any Info would help! Thanks

P,S i know KTM uses a special clutch fluid, i bought the "special stuff" haha

Answer
if you tried adjusting it then see if its even hooked up, because you can adjust it but i wouldn't be in its slot and if this dosent work it shouldn't have anything to do with them rebuilding it but your clutch just might be worn out.
