Kenda Tires

I was at a motorbike shop a few days ago. When I check on tires, I found that there are a full ranges of Kenda tires there.

Their sizes ranges from from 130/90-15 for light cruisers, 110/70-17 for small sport motorbikes, 90/80-17 for moped/kapcai and the 12inch series for scooters. These tires are from Taiwan and they are labeled 'Made in Taiwan'.

From the prices that were displayed, they were very reasonable. I am very sure some of you may want to have a look at these tires. From my experience using it on my 150cc scooter, they are not bad in all conditions. Not bad at all. Pretty lasting too.

600km On Small Motorbike

I rode 600km last weekend. On my 150cc scooter!

I am more convincing with the scooter now. There were no major problem during the ride. The only thing that worried me was the coolant temperature which was a little bit higher than normal.

After the ride, there were no sign of stress or damage to the engine. It is still running smoothly and effectively.

To you out there! Do not hesitate, start the engine and ride.

I do not mean to promote this company but their involvement are very significant in the motorbikes industry in Malaysia. Of course they seems to be more interested in the bigger class, but their scooters and mopeds are improving in distribution and quality.

They have a full range of motorbikes from 110cc to 650cc in all category (sportbike, cruiser, scooter and moped@kapcai). Have they really done well in the market? Well, I wouldn't say so, but with a lower price and improving quality, I think they will, soon.

Being a new player in the challenging market, they seems to be having a lot of problem with their early models but with a little luck, a little attitude and willingness to learn, they can go far.

Their latest collection are Cruise 650, Blade 650, Blade 650R, Blade 250, Blade 250R, Cruise 250, Prisma 110/125, Blitz 150 and Symphony 125.

How Often?

How often do you ride?

Do you ride everyday? Or, are you once of those weekend riders?

Regardless which one are you, to enjoy riding, you will have to do it often. I ride as often as I could. I ride every day. That is why my motorbikes often record an average of 30,000km every year.

When you ride regularly, you will improve in many ways. For a casual rider like me, I am more interested in developing riding endurance. I do not ride very fast but 200-300km is considered a short distance riding.

Weekend riders? These riders only ride during weekend mostly in a group. They often ride fast on the highway or on twisty mountain roads.

So, go on now! Ride… ride… ride….
