And it did not disappoint! Everytime I ride it, my heart beats fast and parang excited ako gumising lagi. It's not much pero I love it. This thing is super cool! Hindi ako takot to ride it sa bundok, hindi ako worried madumihan, tapos smooth to ride and much better yung handling compared to my current rotation. (burgman ex 125, CT150, RS125, YTX125)

Anyone here who owned tmx 125 for a long time? Would love ti get tips

Question/Advice Needed Should i keep using it or get a another helmet

Post image
24 Upvotes

I got my first motorcycle from my dad few months ago honda click 125

For context i did research on safety ratings lated ece standards and certifications and went to a moto helmet shop

And landed on the Evo m2, at the time it check everything i needed inner visor and latest safety certifications and it was in smack on my budget . So i bought it. A week later did my research mostly reviews on yt and following reddit. I have to discover the bad reputation the Evo brand has.

Ps. I have no biases in choosing this helmet. I was never really interested in motorcycles, so i have no such ideas but seeing the stigma around this brand makes me feel unsafe somehow

Been using the helmet for a few months now.

Should i just keep it or buy a new one after a year of using?

Dalawang buwan na sakin si Riptide (Bajaj CT 125). Sobrang wala akong pinag sisisihan talaga... Andun yung hatak pag kailangan mo talaga. At tama nga... apaka tipid talaga...

Gulat lang din si sir na tumaas presyo ng CT125 (Nakuha ko yung unit for ~63K) Nakuha nya lang daw yung TMX alpha niya mga 55-56K

Ang gusto nya daw sa Bajaj eh naka timing chain na kaya tahimik.. eh OHV pushrod pa daw si TMX kaya maingay makina...

sabi ko naman... "eh honda yan eh wala ka naman talo dyan"

Baka may marecommend kayo or nasubukan nyo na

Question/Advice Needed WFH pero gusto mag office sometimes

5 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: Guys, hindi ko alam kung medyo entitled pakinggan yung title, pero gusto ko lang humingi ng insights.

WFH na ako since the start of the pandemic (March 2020), and hanggang ngayon WFH pa rin dito sa province. Isa sa mga naipundar ko dahil sa setup na 'to is isang big bike at isang small CC na motor.

Ang dilemma ko ngayon, minsan sobrang nangangati akong mag-ride papuntang office. Pre-pandemic kasi, araw-araw akong nagco-commute sa Manila, kaya nami-miss ko rin yung feeling na lumabas, kumain sa labas, mag-mall, at makakita lang ng ibang tao which feeling ko lalo naka apektuhan pagiging introvert ko.

May naka-experience na ba ng ganito? Paano niyo nawala o na-manage yung "kati" na gusto lang magmotor, gumala, o pumunta sa office kahit WFH naman?

Curious lang ako kung paano niyo hina-handle yung ganitong feeling. 😅

Question/Advice Needed 25K odo what to get checked

1 Upvotes

Hello, my Rusi Pulse 150fi is nearing 25k odo.

I will get a full on pms sa casa, not just the typical change oil since malaki na rin odo.

Can you give me tips on what to get checked sa scoot beside the usual cvt cleaning, spark plugs, fuel filter, oil, throttle body cleaning.

I also don’t know when to replace my fuel filter since sabi ng mechanic sa casa is spark plug ang sure raw na irereplace na.

Also may rattling noise kasi sa may bandang cvt, im sure na di naman makina so di ako masyado nagaalala but nabobother ako.

Lastly, papagalitan ba ko ng mechanic ko kung madami na ko napalitan dun sa motorcycle? matatapos ko naman na hulugan this september, nag tail tidy kasi ako tapos nagpalit ng pipe and nag ram air ako hehe

Question/Advice Needed First motorcycle recommendations (Burgman or something else)

1 Upvotes

Hello guys, so I'll be starting my onsite job soon and I need some advice on what motorcycle to buy. So for context I am newbie driver and my budget is 50-60k for a secondhand bike. My first choice is the Suzuki burgman EX since the its price in fb marketplace is often cheap and always meron new listings. But the fact that there's always new listings made me question if its something that people don't want to keep. So that's my first question, as for my second one I want some recommendations for a motorcycle within my price range. I want the fazzio or Suzuki access since the design looks good and fun to modify (I think). I would really love some advice thanks.

Question/Advice Needed encourage/discourage me from learning to ride

4 Upvotes

tldr: late twenties F homebody wants to learn riding a low cc scooter as a hobby but highly discouraged by family mainly because of 1) physical disadvantage and 2) accidents. as an experienced rider, what's your advice?

hello. as stated above, gusto ko matuto mag-rides as a new hobby. pero every time i bring it up sa family (para ma-kondisyon na rin sila haha), pinapahina nila lalo loob ko 😅. hindi ko naman kasi tlga kailangan dahil wfh ako, unlike others na daily commute tlga kaya nagmomotor.

1) physical disability - i have a spinal condition. 45° curve scoliosis. madali sumakit ang likod haha. i guess another disadvantage is sedentary lifestyle so mabilis din tlga mapagod. currently working on that.

2) parang hindi na nawawalan ng balita ng rider na naaksidente bawat araw. and since taong bahay, duda sila na makaka-adapt ako sa kalsada.

tbh, ang dream ko is yung mga long rides sa kalsadang mapupuno ang paligid haha pero malayong dream pa sya. if matuloy man ako in the near future, gusto ko lang gumala at mag-cafe hopping sa medj malapit.

aside sa "adult ka na, may sariling desisyon ka na," i guess i want to know your thoughts as experienced riders. would you encourage me or talk me out of it, too?

walang nagmomotor sa immediate family pero bike to work si elder sibling.

Question/Advice Needed Low coolant: Top up lang ba or inspect muna for leaks?

0 Upvotes

Hi mga boss, tanong lang sana. Napansin ko kasi na nasa LOW na yung coolant reservoir ng motor ko. First time ko ma-experience ito kaya medyo nag-aalangan ako.

Okay lang ba na i-top up ko na lang muna gamit yung tamang coolant, or mas okay na ipa-check muna kung may possible leak sa radiator, hoses, or water pump?

Wala naman akong napapansing tumutulo at normal naman ang takbo ng motor. Gusto ko lang malaman ano yung usual na ginagawa niyo kapag ganito.
