Update: Metzeler Sahara Enduro 3

Heyya..

It's time to update some parts of the KLR 650..

After almost 18,000 km of mileage clocked, the front Metzeler Sahara 3 rear tire looks pretty soft and there is only almost 50% tread left.. I guess i can ride safely for another 5,000 km with this front tire..

Whilst the rear tire needed to be changed, most probably only 20% of tire tread left... hence, i changed only the rear tire to a new Metzeler Sahara 3 Enduro... it costs RM320.00 only for the rear tire at Sunny Cycle, KL..

With 18,000 km of mileage done, the tires have served me very well... the performance is much better, more comfortable, smoother than the Standard Dunlop tires and they reduce the high speed wobble significantly... I would totally recommend the Metzeler Sahara Enduro 3 for those who travel long distance a lot!!!

HooRahh!!

Metzeler Sahara Enduro 3 & Givi Topbox

Heyya..

I was recommended by Sunny Cycle to change the stock tires (Dunlop) to Metzeler Sahara Enduro 3..

the front and rear tires cost only RM580.00 ... to me, they are very cheap compare with my previous superbike tires (~RM1100.00)... how i wish i could have ridden dual-purpose bikes for a long time...

Anyway, the handling of the Sahara 3 can be obviously noticeable... at high speed of 140km/h, the bike does not wobble at all.. this gives me more confidence to ride at high speed... and this is what i have been looking for..

Also, i have installed a Givi Top Box on the KLR 650.. the capacity of the box is 50 liters.. Oh Yeahh!! i can put lots of stuff inside it.. even, i can keep 2 full face helmets inside the box..

I paid the Givi top box for only RM480.. yeap, another great item at very low price... the other option is Hepko & Becker top box which costs RM1200.. i can see the Hepko & Becker top box is very solid and strong built compare with the Givi's.. The Givi came with a universal rack, which needs time and effort to drill onto the existing stock rack.. where else, the Hepko comes with a rack which is already designed for the specific bikes and easy to install.. anyway, i'm very cheap.. hehehe



HooRahh!!
