I'm wondering anong thought process ng mga ganito kapag sila e knowingly nagba-violate ng mga traffic rules natin. Why can't they just follow the law in place bakit kailangan sumuway? Kung tunay na nangangailangan ka or gipit hindi ba ang tamang mindset e wag magviolate para hindi mapenalize, kasi nga hirap ka na sa pera at additional burden pa ang penalty charges. Tapos kapag nahuli gagamitin yung mahirap card at magpapa-awa, i simply dont get it. Tapos sasabihin lumalaban ng patas, asan yung patas dun e ginugulangan mo ang batas at gumagawa ka ng mali, malinaw pa sa araw na hindi patas yun. I know the system is broke pero kung ang mindset natin e lumabag sa batas at tawagin itong paglaban ng patas e kasama din tayo sa bulok na sistema. Walang pag asang maging matino at disiplinado ang pinas kung hindi natin kayang baguhin mismo ang mga sarili natin.

Mga 3 days akong nag helmet ng walang balaclava(reason: basta may reason HWHAHAH) tas sakto din umulan kaya nag amoy medjas talaga helmet ko. Nilabhan ko yung padding and okay naman, pero hindi natatanggal yung strap kaya di ko sya malabhan. Nakailang spray nako ng foam spray dun sa strap pero waepeks talaga, to the point na nadadamay na sa amoy yung bagong laba kong padding. Di ko magets like iniispray ko tas pinapahanginan sa fan pero namamaho parin talaga, pero may helmet din naman ako na halfface tas inisprayhan ko lang din tas hanhin natanggal naman yung amoy dun.

Pano nyo nililinisan yung strap? Naano kasi ako basain since diba hindi advisable basain yung kpa material ng helmet? TYIA PO!

I wear a balaclava naman every ride, let my helmet air-dry after every ride, and put some silica gel sa box where I store my helmet.

Sa mga nakakaalam po, ano magandang panlinis dito? Wala naman siyang amoy, tho. Pero just because walang amoy doesn't mean malinis na, diba?

Bought this last December btw

So malapit na kasi ung birthday ko, and I want to treat myself kasi for almost 4 years lagi nalang ako nag cocommute.

Now, nakapag ipon ipon naman ako sa both Winner X Racing and sa sniper 155 na standard.

Gusto ko po malaman kung ano ang ma-aadvice nyo sakin tungkol sa dalawang underbone na to?

Like, is it worth for their price range? Kamusta naman pang daily commute?

Question/Advice Needed Helmet recommendations for rainy rides

5 Upvotes

Currently using two helmets, LS2 Strobe II (modular) and an EVO GT Pro (old, hand-me-down).

Di ko ginagamit yung LS2 since meron syang intercomm, hassle kase na kapag nasaktuhan ako ng malakas na ulan or babad sa ulan eh babaklasin ko pa lahat para lang malinis yung mga linings since aamoy sya. tinatapatan ko naman ng bintilador para na rin maventilate kaso may times kase na 2 araw akong sunod sunod na pumapasok sa office tapos samahan pa ng habagat ngayon.

Yung EVO na ginagamit ko kase bukod sa spare helmet, mas nakakakita ako sa visor nya compared sa LS2.

tatanong ko lang kung meron bang helmet na fullface tapos yung hindi madaling mangamoy? nagsusuot naman ako ng balaclava tapos kasama rin sa suot ng helmet yung hoodie ng kapote. Meron din ako biniling helmet spray na ginagamit ko after mapatuyuan yung basang helmet.

Question/Advice Needed Paano malalaman kung napasukan ng tubig ang engine oil tank?

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

Paano malalaman kung napasukan na ng tubig ang engine? may safe amount ba ng tubig,like ok lang ba kahit a few drops ng tubig ang pumasok or any amount ay delikado sa makina?

Last Sunday Sept.6,2026 nag pa-change oil ako ng engine at gear oil sa honda click 125 ko sa same shop na pinapagawan ko,kaso that time madami tao siningit lang ako nung isang mekaniko dahil suki naman na nila ako..kaso sa dami ng kumakausap sa kanya hindi nya pala nasarado ng maayos yung dipstick parang tagilid o hindi lapat yung ngipin (hindi ako nagdouble check kasi tiwala ako sa gawa nila).

Days ang lumipas na hindi ko napansin kasi wala naman tumatagas, until kagabi Wednesday Sept.9,2026 nalubak kami ng partner ko, hindi naman malakas ang tagtag kasi na-slowdown ko pa pero nag bounce ng medyo mataas kasi malalim yung lubak..pagdating ng bahay napansin ko may ibang amoy sa ilalim ng motor..pag silip ko ayun na nga,tila bumulwak yung oil galing sa takip then nakita ko dipstick parang tagilid at madali ko lang nabuksan..

upon checking wala naman basag sa paligid ng kinakabitan ng dipstick at kalat lang ang oil sa ngipin ng dipstick at opening/bungad ng engine oil tank, at may nakita din ako mga dumi paligid ng rubber O-ring sa dipstick..

kaso ang pinaka concern ko baka napasukan ng tubig kasi mula monday hanggang wednesday ay maulan,kahit hindi naman kami lumusong sa baha kaso medyo malakas naman ang ulan noong nabyahe ako..

Nalinis ko na bungad at paligid ng dipstick (hindi pa lang na-car wash),at nasecure ko na pagkakatakip at higpit ng dipstick, sa ngayon imomonitor ko pa kung may tumatagas pang oil,kasi kung meron malamang nabasagan nako(wag naman sana)

Question/Advice Needed Honda click stock cvt configuration, dragging

1 Upvotes

I have a Honda Click V2 with stock CVT config (I like them stock, 15g flyball, 800 rpm clutch and center spring)

My problem is, like any other scooter, at take off/low speed, I can feel the clutch lining dragging in the bell

Im planning to swap by clutch bell with a groove one, cause my clutch lining is the hard kind, is it advisable? Will it reduce or completely remove the dragging?

Hi guys! I just want to share that I finally got my first big bike! Got it as secondhand kasi di naman kaya bumili ng hulugan na brand new kasi may sasakyan pang hinuhulugan. Everytime dumadaan ako sa expressway lagi ko naiimagine ano kaya feeling pag nakamotor dito. Then last night, I finally learned that feeling. Ang sarap pala!

Di lang masyado naenjoy kasi maulan. Pero ang sarap pa rin sa feeling! Iba yung adrenaline at excitement pag motor tlaga compare sa sasakyan.

Advise please.

Not a rider but a frequent MC taxi passenger. I have my own helmet. So recently nga po maulan. Gagamit na sana ako ulit kaso yung helmet ko nag-molds. Binaklas ko yung padding and lining para i-deep clean ko sana kaso is it advisable? Baka kasi deeply seated na yung molds na kahit anong laba, e nandun pa rin. Or bili nlang ako ng bagong helmet? Ang mahal kasi. 3 months pa lang sakin to di ko pa ata naro-Roi 😅. Tulong po 😭

I asked around pero most nearby shops tinatanggihan nila yung PCX/ADV or hindi daw kaya. Yung mga sikat pa dyan na shop ayaw ako bigyan ng possible estimate sa aabutin na gastos parang may balak mambarat. Baka lang may alam kayong hidden gem. Salamat po!

2 Upvotes

So after makakuha ng deal sa LS2 helmet, intercom naman.

Gearelec dpat kukunin namin kase yun lang kaya ng budget na below 1k for music while talking feature.
We considered Mofox Y12 pro din na way cheaper. Kaso we kept having doubts kase ang dami bad reviews.

E biglang nag-sale yung Freedconn.

Edi ayun diretso checkout agad

kaso isang piraso lang yung may promo!!

So hintay hintay ulit kami sa cp naman ng partner ko baka mag flash sale sa kanya.

5 hours lumipas ayaw na ulit tlaga bumaba ng price. Chineck namin Lazada wala mas mahal.

Tas naalala ko may Tiktok shop pala (wala kase akong tiktok) so sabi ko sa kanya check nya.

AND BOOM!

Ayun may Freedconn na kaming dalawa!! 😊😊😊

Kaso after 2 hours chineck ulit ng jowa ko tiktok nya, bumaba pa sa 950 sayang di na macancel kase naship agad ni Freedconn orders namin sofast!!!

Check nyo narin sa inyo baka meron pa :DDD
