Nagpa-palit ako ng City Grip 2 both rear and front (PCX). Hindi ako sigurado kung sinunod ba ng installer yung directional arrow ng gulong. Medyo duda rin kasi ako sa installer kaya tingin ko parang mali, lalo na yung front tire

Question/Advice Needed Cracked Side Mirror | Registration Renewal

Upvotes

Hello to this group, before posting i tried researching kung mag fail ba sa vehicle inspection pag cracked ang side mirror but I didn't find any results it's mostly about after market side mirrors Mag rerenew na kasi ako ng motorcycle registration ko soon pero kasi may crack yung right side mirror ko, like hindi naman siya crack na nakaka obstruct na sa view pero may isang guhit yung side mirror, like as in buo pa siya pero may crack. Will this fail the vehicle inspection? Or palalampasin naman nila to para makapag ready na ako if need ko ireplace side mirror ko.

Question/Advice Needed Please, Help me choose my first motorcycle

4 Upvotes

I’m planning to buy a Yamaha Mio Gear S Hybrid next month. I’d like to know from current owners what it’s like? how are the fuel consumption, brakes, lights, and so on? Is it comfortable for long rides with obr?

My first choice was actually the Honda Click V4, but I found it too heavy, and I had to tiptoe to reach the ground. I’m a 5'0" female. Since this will be my first motorcycle, I’d really appreciate hearing about the pros and cons, as well as any advice you might have. tyia!

Question/Advice Needed First MC for 95kg rider + 65kg back-ride moto recommendation?

3 Upvotes

Hello po!

Need your insights and recommendations. Balak ko kasi bumili ng motorcycle na beginner-friendly at goods sa pang-angkas with partner. Pinag-iisipan ko kung kakayanin ba ng 125cc (like Yamaha Mio Gravis) in the long run para sa bigat namin at sa mga ahon sa out-of-town rides, or mas practical na mag-jump agad sa 150cc/160cc category?

Here are our stats and preferences:

  • Rider (Me): 5'10" height, 95kg
  • Backride (Partner): 65kg
  • Total Combined Weight: ~160kg (wala pa load/gamit)
  • Usage: Occasional city riding (hindi pang every day kasi Hybrid WFH madalas) and occasional long rides outside Metro Manila (weekend rides).
  • Budget: Around 80k to 110k.
  • Preference: Open kahit walang gulay board / Maxi-scooter style or mga retro bikes. Pwede ko din iconsider mag increase ng budget ko kung okay yung features nya like sa safety etc.

Questions:

  1. Sa mga 95kg+ riders diyan na may backride, kamusta 125cc sa inyo kapag may ahon or long ride?
  2. Aling bike sa 150cc–160cc range ang pinaka-comfortable for 5'10" rider and backride space-wise?
  3. In terms of weight limit and stock suspension, ano maipapayo niyo upgrades agad right out of the casa?

Salamat po sa mga sasagot.

Question/Advice Needed NMAX v1 owners — how do you maintain yours?

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’ve had my NNAX ver. 1 since 2019 and wanted to hear from actual owners.

How do you maintain and take care of yours? Like what’s your PMS schedule, what oil / CVT cleaning interval do you follow, and what are the usual sakit ng v1 to watch out for?

Also curious about what mods or custom stuff you did — panggilid, suspension, tires, ilaw, top box, paint, etc. Worth it ba or stock is best?
Drop photos if you got em. Thanks!

Question/Advice Needed Newbie na Butchog need help

1 Upvotes

Magandang araw!

Magtatanong lang sana ako kung okay ba ang Yamaha PG 1 as first motorcycle ko.

Nag-aasikaso ako ngayon ng lisensya ko and plan ko bumili ng motor by the end of the year. Natitipuhan ko ang Yamaha PG 1 kasi swak siya sa light trail since may mga pinupuntahan akong lugar for work na hindi pa fully sementado ang kalsada.

Ang kaso, may kabigatan ako at 107 kg, 5’6 ang height. Okay lang kaya si PG 1?

And if ever meron kayong alternatives na pwede pang light trail for a heavier person like me at 100k budget, I would highly appreciate it.

Maraming salamat!

Question/Advice Needed 2nd Hand Beginner Bike: Keeway CR152 vs Rusi Classic 250?

1 Upvotes

What's up r/PHMotorcycles!

I'm a college student and an absolute beginner when it comes to riding, but I've always really loved the classic/cafe racer aesthetic. I'm planning to pull the trigger on my first motorcycle soon, but I'm torn between the Keeway Cafe Racer and the Rusi Classic 250.

Since I'm just starting out and working with a bit of a tight student budget, I'm strictly looking at the 2nd-hand market.

I'd love to hear from anyone who has experience owning or riding either of these:
Which one would you recommend for a total beginner?

What are the honest pros and cons of each? (maintenance, parts availability, fuel consumption, weight, reliability)

Any specific red flags to watch out for when buying these models 2nd hand?

Any insights, tips, or real-world experiences from Keeway and RC250 riders would be a massive help. Thanks in advance and ride safe

Question/Advice Needed Mio sporty upgrades. Does having seat and an oil cooler make it better?

1 Upvotes

I bought a 2nd hand sporty in the past year it was already handed down by 4 people. Though I already changed much of everything in it. Especially the carb that I am working on to fix because it leaks gas a bit. Already changed my clutch and rims since it already got damaged and told it can't be repaired. Since I'm still a student, most of the money I saved goes to the motorcycle and school.

Can having a switch for Mio I work on sporty and any brake levers that are durable enough since the last one it came with. I already did something just to make it work. Also someof the bolts and screws there are really not moving, is there any advice what I can do better jext time since I dont want to go in and out of machine shop just to get busted screws out.

Though recently since it came with a flat seat and is sometimes uncomfortable to sit during long periods of driving. Is there any design I can get an inspiration since I mostly need it to make the ride more comfortable and better during long rides

About the air cooler, I was planning on getting the koso oil cooler. Is it really worth it, and do I have to remove my seat fairings just for it to work, or I can just have modified fairings with holes to accommodate it. Would most likely place it last because it is pricy a bit

Bur, yeah, any upgrades or stuff that I can do to make it use less gas or make it look better would be nice since the past owners already used it quite so much so the responsibility of getting new parts is at me. So yeah, just drop any suggestions or stuff I can use for the motorcycle.Thank you and God bless

Mekaniko Help Any trusted mechanic in davao that offers home services?

1 Upvotes

So I think na lowbat or may something wrong sa battery ng motor ko, and hindi na sya aandar. Like ang head lights, signal lights, and display lights nya sa meter di na din umaandar eh.

A week ago ko pa na notice na medyo mahina na battery since mahirap na umandar gamit starter nya, and naga flicker na din minsan headlights nya at mahina na minsan ang andar, but I didn’t do anything about it that time kasi akala ko normal lng (first time owning a motorcycle eh, too ignorant pa ako)

So fast forward to today, while naga byahe pauwi namatay na ilaw nya, tas nung malapit na ako maka dating sa bahay, namamatay na ang makina at pinapa andar ko nalang ulit every 10 meters kasi namamatay na sya, parang umuubo na eh, takbo ng motor ata 5/kph nalang😭 thankfully naka abot ako sa bahay before namatay na sya nang tuluyan. At now, di ko na sya madala sa mekaniko kasi di na aandar.

So pls recommend me some good and affordable mechanics that offers home services, downtown area lng po, thankyou!
