The new triple clamp cover from the GEN 2 Hayabusa, tested proven to work with no issues after this trip. (Note also the wristband was still around when we reached our destination, see next picture)It's been a long while since I've got the chance to take the bike out for a ride. In midst of the many rainy days this month, I've decide to just go for a trip up to Kuala Lumpur. And who would have expected that the 2 days over the weekend was totally dry.
The ride up the KL was excellent, with minimum vehicles on the NSHW, the bike was riding great and the weather was wonderful. There were long stretches of empty road where the bikes were given a chance to rip the highways but gone are the days where maxxing out the bike's power was like a walk in the park. At the back of the head, it's already screaming, " That's fast enough!" when the meter just barely crosses the 300kph mark.
Picture was taken the following day, notice the wristband on the brake fluid reservoir is missing (curse the bugger who stole it.)Probably because it's been quite a long while since we last went to KL, I managed to just get ourselves lost right in the middle of the city. So there we were circling around the city for about 30mins before finding our way to the hotel. But still we manage to reach the hotel lobby in under 2 and half hour.
Finally found, the hotel where the bike was given a place to rest over the night.
Returning back to Singapore the ride was quite straightforward as well. Ride pump and go. But probably the main hiccup was when I decided to push for a further fuel stop for our first stop out of KL. I had originally wanted to pump at Seremban or Ayer Keroh but pushed for Pagoh instead. Managed to reach Pagoh with another 2liters or so of petrol left in the tank, but it was kind of nerve-wrecking as the needle was already buried in the red zone and the reserve light has come on about 30km away from Pagoh. Still we cruised at about 190-200kph to the petrol station. From there on, it was smooth sailing all the way back to Johor Bahru for a bike wash and back across the customs (where there was no jam at all).
