YEAH! it's honestly a pain since there's no stores for aftermarket parts like my bike is a rare (for the UK) honda CC110 all the part's i have to order directly from japan but thank god the website i use webike has all the parts there

Thats an awesome story! Malaysia is a great country to visit and if you like small motorcycles the experience in country can be even better! We bought motorcycles on this trip - little 110's, 115's and 125's - then rode them north into Thailand and back again. The next few weeks of videos will start to showcase our bikes we had in Malaysia. The Kawasaki edge is cool! We barely got any Kawa's in New Zealand when it came to small bikes.

I’ve loads more small bikes, mobylette 50v, Kawasaki AR80’s ( 3 of ) , Kawasaki AE80’s ) 2 of , Kawasaki KX 80’s ( 3 off ) even a 2022 Monkey plus more, im addicted to small bikes, had the big ones ZX10r superblackbird type stuff it’s boaring 👍👍👍😁

Can’t wait to see the next episode

@@user-wr5zm8vs6m Coming sooooon! Will be a little while before I have the trip videos edited but I'll showcase all our bikes in the coming weeks

Yeah agreed. I think it also depends what bike you have. I found classic parts easier in Thailand but more modern underbone parts easier in Malaysia. I have racing boy wheels on my bike at the moment!

Hahaha I love them. Always funny to see what stickers I can find. Found so many joke stickers in Mr DIY also.

@@SmallBikeStuff hahaha ikr....well some rider really love this. But some not. Let me translate it " Please don't come closer. the owner on healing mode".

the place was near to my high school, wish the video was longer...😅

Very true! I was asking most shops pricing - the tyre shop I had used one time previously and thats why I chose them.

solid sense is where i go if i want to change my bike benelli rfs150i sprocket & chain (1 full set) and their price is way more cheaper than others haha

Very good point! Makes sense.

Thank you there is a lot more to come!

Ah that makes sense. I saw a small piece of track in front of a building around the corner from these shops. I think it was a display about the history.

@@SmallBikeStuff malaya used to make parts at the workshops and some Sent to india(I was told).

Sounds awesome Marv. It's a great part of the world - as far as buying bikes go Malaysia is definitely the easiest place to buy a bike and get one in your name officially. The whole process including paperwork can take just a day. Vietnam has some interesting rules regarding what can and can't cross the border and some of the South East Asian countries require a Carnet De Passage for entry depending on where your bike is from. If you're riding in Vietnam only - rental is a great option from companies such as Tigit Vietnam that allow 1 way rentals for long periods with full cover. Your plans might be set in stone - but Malaysia, then Thailand, then Laos and Cambodia - then back to Malaysia for selling the bike - plus a flight to Vietnam and a bike rental may be the easiest long term option but there are endless possibilities. I'll cover the Malaysian paperwork for bikes in a video soon.

​@@SmallBikeStuffThanks Callum! No plans set in stone, as I've got to finish a project I'm working on here in the UK, before I can go travelling. I used to plan everything out meticulously when doing road trips in the past, but I prefer to just have rough plans nowadays and see what happens when I'm on the road... I was thinking of starting the travelling in Northern Vietnam during September/early October, because it's supposed to be the best time to travel around the mountainous North. Then gradually work my way down to the south, somehow fitting in Laos and Cambodia on the way (as I've read you can take VN bikes into Laos and Cambodia) then sell the bike in Ho Chi Minh. I'll look into the rental for VN though, that might be a good option! I've got relatives in Thailand who I haven't visited yet, so hopefully they can help me buy a bike there and after that I'll work my way down to Malaysia and Indonesia (If Thai bikes are allowed in Indonesia). I still have plenty of research to do and I'm open-minded to changing the rough plan above and will take into consideration what you've said about Malaysia being the easiest place to buy a bike officially in your name (always good to know these things) Look forward to your future vids and I'm enjoying Small Bikes Stuff having regular content again 😊

Look forward to hearing more about your trip as it plays out - I think the border crossing from Vietnam to Laos/Cambodia is correct - even with rentals. I know a couple that did Vietnam-Cambodia-Vietnam with rentals from the company Tigit.

​​​​​​​@@SmallBikeStuffNo, you need so called "blue card" when crossing border between Cambodia/Vietnam and you will have hard time to enter Thailand with VN plate. Believe it's better to buy scooter in Malaysia and register it in your name, insure it and then you are golden.😅 if you ddcide to buy scooter in VN, avoid Detech (fake Honda) which usually sold by rip off brotherhood , vietnamese will pay max 50 USD but they are sold to clueless tourists up to 300-350 USD,and these start to break apart on first 100 km of your trip haha OP and others you can ask me about motorbike driving in VN, I did 30.000 km there and in Cambodia few thousands.

Love the RXZ - it's nice to still see so many good ones in Malaysia. Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it.

Glad you like it! I've got 500+ GB to sift through from the riding too. Gonna be a long one!

Thank you my friend! I was at first thinking it's my new favourite word - but now I realised it's a whole sentence and I love it even more.

Great info! Thank you for the help.

Great location to live! Thanks so much for watching I'm glad you like the videos.

@@SmallBikeStuff you guys should do a trip in East Malaysia, namely the Borneo side. The highways just finished recently and I'm sure it will be a good experience. Speaking of Borneo, you guys can travel through 3 countries, Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia.

Nice to have you here! Thanks so much for tuning in. Where do you live now? Underbone bikes are great I wish there was more around the world.

Shipping back is fairly easy using POS Malaysia and the bike shops will happily pack it nicely for you into a box. Seach Pos Malaysia Rate Calculator and it should come up with a tool to see pricing based on weight. I had to increase my baggage allowance coming home as all my purchases went on the plane home with me.

Yeah I spend a lot of time looking on Shoppee it’s cool. But this was more exciting in real life! Haha.

betul bro.. sy asal jln ipoh skolh MBS. Zaman main motor dua lejang sini lah lubuk beli barang2 moto.. Sekarang bangunan/kedai pun nampak mewah..

Thanks so much - I am glad there are people enjoying this video. Sentul was a great place to visit and I wish it was that easy to buy parts where I live.

@@Andy_pallawarukka orang bercerita pasal kedai motor murah kamu cerita pasal nama tempat...😂😂

These went in a large 32" suitcase for the journey home. Tyres can be tricky to take to another country if they are used - so brand new ones still wrapped up were the way to go. I also took a 32L Givi topbox in the same suitcase.

Eh not really an issue mate. If it was too much I wouldn’t have paid.

Stiker bersepah boleh dapat stiker murah😂

@@SmallBikeStuffjust to let you know 👍

Lane splitting was fun in Kuala Lumpur! Thanks so much for watching.

I come from New Zealand so I'm used to small - not a bad thing. I think the reason most stay in mainland Malaysia is because of the logistics. I wanted to ride to Thailand and back - can't easily get a bike over to the other half so it's just easier to stay here. If I had more time I might adventure to the other parts of Malaysia. Hope to visit everywhere soon!

@@SmallBikeStuff it’s roughly a 2 hour flight from KL to anywhere in East Malaysia. Recommend that you start from Kuching. Once there you would probably go through the same process of getting a bike and travel up north on the Pan Borneo Highway. You’ll reach the most Northern point in Miri (approximately 10-12 hours of non stop travel). But most will make 1-2 stops to enjoy the scenery. From there you’ll enter into Brunei (another country). It would take all of 2-3 hours to cross this country and then enter into the Malaysian state of Sabah. Pull up a map on Malaysia and you will see what I mean about the size of Sarawak and Sabah versus West Malaysia (what you refer to as the Mainland). There is also a huge small bike culture in the East. Tallest mountain in Malaysia. Massive cave systems. Primary rain forests. Beautiful beaches. Incredible food. Friendly people. Etc. anyway, it’s just a suggestion.

Thanks for watching - yes visit this place! It's awesome.

Thanks for your comment and thank you for watching. Sentul is a great place!

No problems - it’s a great place!

So cool! What a cool place to have lived. Great if you love bikes!

Gotta do as the locals do. Makes things quicker!

Thanks mate! Thank you for watching.

Thats awesome - and yeah there are endless places for accessories and parts. It's a great city!

Pertama was mainly mc apparel ,100 ring per tyre?Apparently their currency is at Rock bottom atm,I watched the start of your trip

@@adrianloney8009 yeah the currency has taken a big dive sadly for the locals. The video featured in the channel is my old trip back in 2019 - just did another one this year.

Ah that’s so cool! Thanks for watching. I’m happy you found the video. This is definitely a great place to visit.

Yup I was at Poonsap in 2022. It's a nice market if you've got the right vehicle. Language barrier isn't really an issue for me - but it was a nice change to speak English when buying parts instead of fumbling along in my elementary level Thai. Always amazing what you can find laying around in South East Asia.

Great info! Love it. Thanks so much for watching and thanks for the comment.

Haha I knew I wasn't the only one who did this! It's a great idea to take parts home if you can.

Wasn't these motorcycles very popular in taiwan? Kymco used to make a lot of honda clones

@@tristan6509 its all 110/70-17 and 90/90-18 rims... my small bike is a SEA desendent

Yes, it was my 4th time to Malaysia. I rode Kapcai with some friends to Thailand and back again.

Yes this was the most recent trip. 2024. We rode 2600km starting and finishing in Kuala Lumpur.

Haha I love these Small Bikes. More interesting for me than anything bigger in the west.

@@SmallBikeStuff yeah big bikes are nice but underbones for me is special 💕

Wow is one of these shops yours?

Thanks it's a great city!

You are so lucky to have it so close to you!

@@SmallBikeStuff ure right. Thank goodness. But now there were so many new model moped. The old one need to survey carefully to get genuine parts

Awesome! It's nice to have more than one bike to choose from.

Thanks bro 🙏

Great place to live!

You can but you would only get it stamped into the country for as long as your Thai entry is. Generally not more than 60 days. As they have competing bike industries they won't let bikes permanently cross the border easily. Riding in and out of Thailand with a Malay bike is fine - and very easy. I just did exactly that and will release videos on it soon.

It sure is! I went to two different JPJ’s. One when I bought my bike and another location when I sold it.

Don’t base your trip on cost. They are so similar in that regard. Base your trip plans on what you want to do and which country will give you the best experience

Haha thank you. Makes things more efficient!

Most western countries don't get Kapcai or underbone bikes. But it's ok because Malaysia has many!

@@SmallBikeStuff dia translate ape kita tulis la haha. thank you.

Yes the range is really awesome. Something for everyone.

I agree! They can do anything. Thanks for watching!

I would love to visit on the next trip!

Even RM135 is half the price than my country.

Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and comment also!

They do have a lot available. But as far as turning up and being able to buy stuff easily this market was the easiest so far. Thailand does have Poonsap, but the language barrier and distance from the centre of Bangkok makes it more of a journey. If people can visit both I would highly recommend it!

@@SmallBikeStuff understood

Hahaha someone else also told me this. Still cheaper than NZ - it would be 100+ here.

Love that basket! I have one on my motorcycle in New Zealand now.

That would be awesome! I last went to Melaka in 2022 but it was only one night I stayed. I hope to visit more of Malaysia again soon!

I'll be sure to keep that in mind for my stickers, shirts, pirelli tyres and my knee basket 🤣

​@@SmallBikeStuffno worries mate. Sometimes these stuffs just dont hv those passes but not necessarily risky. They just didnt pay the taxes for it, thats all.

I didn’t ask - but I am sure they can. I have friends in Malaysia I usually get to help me send parts home if I want them. Pos Malaysia service to New Zealand is quite reliable.

Definitely! Only just got home from Malaysia too.

Love it there!

Honestly not sure. I imagine it would need to be a country that has an abundance of those bikes already for it to be worthwhile.

Thanks mate - I love visiting Malaysia!

Thanks for the comment! I do enjoy tubeless tyres.

Btw is actually legal to put diskbreak on Ex 5 & was Approved by jpj & puspacom but only 1 disk break if u don't have one

Nice!

Ah yes - I rode near the Modenas factory but we didn't have time to stop.

Yes please!

@smallbikestuff I really like to have a dealership in the Philippines 🇵🇭 (One-day)

Probably a smart idea - would have saved time. I ended up pointing to bikes outside the shop for a reference.

There was riding gear in some shops but we had bought our helmets from NZ so I didn’t bother looking too closely at what was available

@@SmallBikeStuff I made a huge mistake buying from USA and found out that the European helmet was 350 gm lighter . And now I have a bad neck because of all that unnecessary weight. I have so many visors for the shoei rf 1200 that I have to buy another one but the European version.

PIRELLOOOOOO!

Malaysia would be the easiest one I’d say.

Too many parts 😅😅

This ride has finished already but I'll back again for sure!

The best area for toy shopping 😂😂

It's a great place!

This was at the end of a long trip on bikes - here’s the trailer for the video series about it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z7SHdsqi2KzXgWw.htmlsi=cNd1aQWPq-n6xExx

Haha yup someone else pointed that out too. Ah well. Still cheaper than NZ!

Honestly I wouldn't know - I struggle getting shops in Malaysia to send internationally so I usually wait till I arrive and buy in person. It could be an idea to click the google maps link I posted in the description - see if any of the listed shop names come up on Facebook and then message/contact those shops to see if they can send things for you. Shoppee and Lazada Malaysia are also places that list lots of parts - but only sell inside the country.

hey man, I can order these accessories for you and have it shipped internationally; NZ etc.

GANG GANG!

Haha maybe if Alan ritchson ate way too much Nasi Goreng everyday we'd look similar.

@@SmallBikeStuff haha probably you're right bro.. 🤣🤣

It's not correct as per english - but it's a great sentence in Malaysia. So much can be achieved with this word. I love it. Boleh!

Eh, things change. If you want those kind of bikes they aren't hard to find. Can't expect shops open 7 days a week to only cater for old bikes no longer in production. It is a shame there is less, I agree. But it is what it is. I film and record older 2 strokes when I can. There are a few on the channel.

Haha already 143cc! Here's a video showing me riding it recently. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bt2Thq2Zr528aZ8.html

Haha gets things done quicker.

​@@SmallBikeStuffone more short cut..."have"? I.E. ... do u have?

Hi it’s bro - everyone likes different things. I show what interests me.

It's my favourite Malaysian sentence!

Very good point! I had to settle for 100 plus.

@@SmallBikeStuff to make more fun, we called it "Air Seratus"🤣

Haha it took me a few trips to realise it was here.

The EX5 is an awesome bike!

yeay but i use honda rs 150@@SmallBikeStuff

@@MrThugg777 Love it! Such a cool model. So many in Malaysia.

Ex5 in Malaysia have bigger group I remember another Malaysian gathered with the biggest ex5 haha

I’ve ridden an RG500, RZV500, all editions of TZR250, many NSR250’s, an NS400R, RG250’s..I could go on. I love 2 strokes. But that wasn’t the topic of the video - more just showcasing these shops exist. Which even some locals have found helpful so I’m stoked!

It can be for certain things. Depends what bike you have and what parts you’re looking for.

They were half the price of tyres in my country. Quite good!

Most likely! But it was so much fun. The locals didn’t seem to care at all. They were busy and had stuff to worry about that was more important than a few weird dudes buying parts.
