I live in England and had trouble finding parts for a Honda ex5 i own but knew the parts were available in Kuala Lumpur so i got on a plane and went and fetch them myself, they only cost me £16 but have made the bike usable again and I really enjoyed the trip and would do it again just for fun, I have many small bikes some of which are from far east Asia ( Kawasaki Edge 110 )
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 👍👍👍😁
Want to buy parts for a "modern" small bike? Struggle speaking Thai? Head to Malaysia! Specifically Sentul in Kuala Lumpur. This row of bike shops has almost anything to fit an underbone motorcycle, or a Kapcai as they're known here.
Thai is better but for variety of motorcycle model Malaysia win because Malaysian bike scene more older then Thai. For old bike you need to see RetroMania Event.. Malaysia also have own branding like Racingboy, Espada, Rapido, SCK Racing for moped/cubcai motorcycle performance parts.
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!
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
You son of a... This is the most epic video I have seen in a long time. AND you found a shirt that fits you! so jelly. I can't wait to yarn about this trip on the pod.
Ha-ha.. If you came back in 2005/2006 This sparepart street is famous and cheap.. all the kiddo around KL came here for motor sparepart.. back then the street if full if people jam pack.. nowdays, the price is expencive n people no more go there.. people reather by at Shopee platform it much cheaper.. miss those year 05/06..
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.
For the plastic basket just tell the shop you want a BKP(name of the aftermarket company that made it) basket and follow with your bike model like honda wave etc2

Thanks for these vids Callum, keep them coming! I'm planning on spending a decent amount of time in SE Asia later this year... if everything goes to plan, I'll buy a 125 over in Northern Vietnam and do a decent trip, spanning many countries, including Malaysia. These vids give me a nice insight to what's out there 👍
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.
Your video came up my feed, I’m amused to see some western boys fans of underbone bikes and understand our subculture. I live abroad now but it used to be almost all landed house in Malaysia will have some sort of underbone bike at home. Your Malaysia - Thailand teaser looks interesting will be tuning in.
Sentol area are the most ‘ lagend ‘ spare part for motorcycle in KL. You can get any spare part from original to lower grade indifference price depands from you pocket. Enjoy shopping here..
@@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.
Wow! Thats an amazing range and the pricing is fantastic. I would over purchase and then have all sorts of issues stuffing things in my backpack. Did you investigate posting some things home?
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.
@@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.
I've been to Poonsup in Thailand and personally I think it is much better. My preference is for the 400cc 'big bikes' as the Thais call them, not the tiddlers you are fond of. Back home in Oz I spend my ŕetirement fettling and restoring the much bigger 70's and 80's stuff. Pre Covid I located a dismantling business near Icon Siam in Bangkok that was choc full of late 70's - early 80's two stroke stuff. Engines, frames, fairings wheels, stacked on shelves as high as two shipping containers. Just a wire fence at the front with a phone number on it. I would love to be able to buy the lot, fill a couple of 40ft shipping containers and brought it all back to Australia. Everything had been sitting so long it had a quarter inch of dust on it. It all belongs in the hands of the 2 stroke fanatics. The language is not a problem in Thailand with today's smart phones, having a Thai wife also helps. 🇦🇺👍🇨🇷
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.
Hi, You said you are taking the Tyres back to NZ, is that correct? If so, do you take them as luggage or freight them? I am doing a trip to Bali, Indonesia and my bike is more conventional type, a Yamaha Scorpio, but they are masters of modifications to them. I am picking up some newly laced up 17" alloy rims on bare hubs and a new front exhaust pipe. Fortunately they will be light and fit inside my suitcase LoL. There is much more I want to get that I cannot get here because the bike has not sold here for 12 yrs plus, but freight seems to be a killer. Any ideas or suggestions you have would be appreciated. Maybe a trip to Malaysia could also be on the cards. :)
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.
Above the shop house is where I used to live. There are too many memories in this area, in the past this area was not as lively as it is now. On the other side of the road there is a traditional liquor store aka "todi shop". (near Kuaters Polid IPD Sentul). Welcomr to Malaysia bro.
Love to see there are bikers from all over the world that share interest on ridding bikes, from small cc up to big cc bikes, from scooters to adventures bikes, for me, i love all sizes of two-wheels , and enjoy your lane-splitting ride in Malaysia (all Commonwealth countries driving license should be ok to ride here in Malaysia)
The struggle is real to get tires and parts for small bikes when you are not in SEA !!! I carried a BT39SS 80/90-17 from malaysia back to Taiwan for my small bike too :)))
lmao, this IS the spot for KL. There are a few master builders around Sentul area too who work exclusively on big bikes and some only on specific models/brands. Overall great spot for the Malaysian bike scene. Another area is Batu Caves, but it's abit more dodgy IMO.
Came across your channel last night. Watched a 5-6 videos. Loved it. You guys crack me up. Dissapointed that you seem to think Malaysia is small. 😔 You failed to realize that there are two more states of Malaysia on the island of Borneo. It’s known as East Malaysia. The state of Sarawak alone, is as big as ‘west Malaysia’. Then there is the state of Sabah. Both of which are magnificent states. I do hope you and your mates find time to do Small Bike Stuff, one day, in East Malaysia. The roads are not as good as West Malaysia but there are some epic adventures waiting for you here. I am a Chinese Malaysian and I am from Sarawak! Keep up the good work. I have a discontinued SYM Power Jet 125 😅 ✌🏽
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.
I am from Malaysia, funny I just got to know about these bike shops from this video. I was looking for motorcycle raincoat and already got a plain looking one from Decathlon (and expensive too!) BEFORE I saw this. Damn.
Hey! If u don’t mind me asking..the shop where u bought your stickers from(the first one) I noticed a few fox,alpinestars.. gloves plus agv helmets in the back ground,just wanted to know if they were legitimate,thank you.
Most of the Motorcycle Accessories and Parts along this Sentul Street is not approved by SIRIM Malaysia For Safety Test. The materials is below grade or consider class C & D without manufacturer warranty. Your own risk and may damage seriously. Good Luck.
@@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.
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 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.
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.
Is Malaysia cheaper than Thailand? Not just in parts and clothing, but cost of living (hotels, food, etc) I am planning a trip and trying to choose between the 2.
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
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.
Many people use tubeless tyres, because if use tube inside make worse went Flat or hit by a nail, but tubeless tires don't go flat even if hit by a nail, And in Malaysia there are a lot of foreign objects on the road and the road has a lot of potholes which is also why many people use tubeless 😂😂
Hi. Come to Melaka. I will show you around. I will show you my 1997 suzuki moped. A 120cc 2 stroke 6 speed. 😊 I also have a Honda Future, with digital.speedometer.
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.
The range of accessories in this place is far better than in southern Philippines. Manila may have shops like this, but anywhere else choice is very limited.
This was at the end of a long trip on bikes - here’s the trailer for the video series about it: ua-cam.com/video/1NWCgqsFsQ8/v-deo.htmlsi=cNd1aQWPq-n6xExx
I know it was not the topic.. but when I was there I was in an area like where you are and it is so sad that you cannot get those bikes anymore. Because if they did all those bikes you were looking at would have been the bikes you just mentioned. Maybe just 125s or 250s? It's just hard to look at these new bikes. They're producing and all the guys that are not old like us don't even really understand their existence as we once had.
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.
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.

I am picking up some newly laced up 17" alloy rims on bare hubs and a new front exhaust pipe. Fortunately they will be light and fit inside my suitcase LoL.
There is much more I want to get that I cannot get here because the bike has not sold here for 12 yrs plus, but freight seems to be a killer. Any ideas or suggestions you have would be appreciated. Maybe a trip to Malaysia could also be on the cards. :)
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.
Above the shop house is where I used to live. There are too many memories in this area, in the past this area was not as lively as it is now. On the other side of the road there is a traditional liquor store aka "todi shop". (near Kuaters Polid IPD Sentul). Welcomr to Malaysia bro.
So cool! What a cool place to have lived. Great if you love bikes!
Love to see there are bikers from all over the world that share interest on ridding bikes, from small cc up to big cc bikes, from scooters to adventures bikes, for me, i love all sizes of two-wheels , and enjoy your lane-splitting ride in Malaysia (all Commonwealth countries driving license should be ok to ride here in Malaysia)
Lane splitting was fun in Kuala Lumpur! Thanks so much for watching.
The struggle is real to get tires and parts for small bikes when you are not in SEA !!! I carried a BT39SS 80/90-17 from malaysia back to Taiwan for my small bike too :)))
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
lmao, this IS the spot for KL. There are a few master builders around Sentul area too who work exclusively on big bikes and some only on specific models/brands. Overall great spot for the Malaysian bike scene. Another area is Batu Caves, but it's abit more dodgy IMO.
Great info! Love it. Thanks so much for watching and thanks for the comment.
U back in msia dy?? I tot u guys came before few yrs ago. Welcome
Yes, it was my 4th time to Malaysia. I rode Kapcai with some friends to Thailand and back again.
Just when there today buying head cover gasket
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
We used alloy wheels as we goes tubeless....much more safe if we had a puncture....
Came across your channel last night. Watched a 5-6 videos. Loved it. You guys crack me up. Dissapointed that you seem to think Malaysia is small. 😔 You failed to realize that there are two more states of Malaysia on the island of Borneo. It’s known as East Malaysia. The state of Sarawak alone, is as big as ‘west Malaysia’. Then there is the state of Sabah. Both of which are magnificent states. I do hope you and your mates find time to do Small Bike Stuff, one day, in East Malaysia. The roads are not as good as West Malaysia but there are some epic adventures waiting for you here. I am a Chinese Malaysian and I am from Sarawak! Keep up the good work. I have a discontinued SYM Power Jet 125 😅 ✌🏽
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 coming to Malaysia bro, ❤❤❤
No problems - it’s a great place!
I am from Malaysia, funny I just got to know about these bike shops from this video. I was looking for motorcycle raincoat and already got a plain looking one from Decathlon (and expensive too!) BEFORE I saw this. Damn.
Ah that’s so cool! Thanks for watching. I’m happy you found the video. This is definitely a great place to visit.
Hey! If u don’t mind me asking..the shop where u bought your stickers from(the first one) I noticed a few fox,alpinestars.. gloves plus agv helmets in the back ground,just wanted to know if they were legitimate,thank you.
Hard to say honestly I didn't look close enough.
Most of the Motorcycle Accessories and Parts along this Sentul Street is not approved by SIRIM Malaysia For Safety Test. The materials is below grade or consider class C & D without manufacturer warranty. Your own risk and may damage seriously. Good Luck.
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.
Was this the latest trip here in Malaysia in 2024?
I missed catching you on your last trip in 2023 when you went to Singapore and then came up to KL.
Yes this was the most recent trip. 2024. We rode 2600km starting and finishing in Kuala Lumpur.
glad to see you guys having a good time in KL
Thanks it's a great city!
I never expected that a guy from new zealand knows about the bikes of the south east. Cheers! 🇵🇭
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 💕
This guy hit the 'can' like a pro. Friggin impress hahaha
Gotta do as the locals do. Makes things quicker!
nice one boys keep it going ya
Thanks mate! Thank you for watching.
i love to ride, got big n small bike, small for daily ride, big one for long ride
Awesome! It's nice to have more than one bike to choose from.
Very cool! I will check it out.
I want to sell or be a dealership here in the Philippines 🇵🇭 🏍️🛵🏍️🛵🏍️🛵🏍️🛵
Yes please!
@smallbikestuff I really like to have a dealership in the Philippines 🇵🇭 (One-day)
As Malaysian, i think Thailand got most to offer.
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
They sold sticker 'pangkah kuat'😂😂..
Wait. Diablo Rosso 17 80/90 goes for RM135? Price gone up huh? It was RM80 before.
Even RM135 is half the price than my country.
Malaysia assembles ktm bikes in kedah state
Ah yes - I rode near the Modenas factory but we didn't have time to stop.
Buddy, do you know a similar market in KL for cars?
Only in Malaysia you have that busket. Most Malaysian can speak English easy for tourist to communicate with local
Love that basket! I have one on my motorcycle in New Zealand now.
dude come to johore bahru.... one town in malaysia.... 🤘🏾
I would love to visit on the next trip!
Tq For Buy from my shop❤️❤️❤️😅😅
Wow is one of these shops yours?
JPJ is our road transport department
It sure is! I went to two different JPJ’s. One when I bought my bike and another location when I sold it.
What about ECE helmets. Like a shoei nxr 1.
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.
when ur local mechanic says they cant do it, come here, they built it, and always can do it, always... and yes.
I agree! They can do anything. Thanks for watching!
The shirt the guy said in cantonese RM40 then suddenly english RM45 😂
Hahaha someone else also told me this. Still cheaper than NZ - it would be 100+ here.
Ade moto ex5 dekat europe ke? Biar betul. Mat salleh bawak kapcai impress haha
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.
I live in Thailand.
Can I buy a moto from Malaysia and bring it to Thailand, by riding on it?
Shall I face any problems at the customs?
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.
Is Malaysia cheaper than Thailand? Not just in parts and clothing, but cost of living (hotels, food, etc) I am planning a trip and trying to choose between the 2.
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
Will the shop courier it back to nz?
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.
Many people use tubeless tyres, because if use tube inside make worse went Flat or hit by a nail, but tubeless tires don't go flat even if hit by a nail, And in Malaysia there are a lot of foreign objects on the road and the road has a lot of potholes which is also why many people use tubeless 😂😂
Thanks for the comment! I do enjoy tubeless tyres.
Do you know where I can get wholesale 600cc upwards motorcycle parts for reselling?
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.
hi. Can I request a video about the Yamaha VEGA ZR 115.😅😅😅😅.PLSSSSSSSSSS
There is one coming out next week! Same model but called the Lagenda 115ZR
Its easier if you show them a picture of the item
Probably a smart idea - would have saved time. I ended up pointing to bikes outside the shop for a reference.
Any plans to come back to Malaysia?
Definitely! Only just got home from Malaysia too.
Proud to be Sentulian
Great place to live!
Hi. Come to Melaka. I will show you around. I will show you my 1997 suzuki moped. A 120cc 2 stroke 6 speed. 😊
I also have a Honda Future, with digital.speedometer.
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!
Can you let me have mail order details for kl
Thanks
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.
Mai pineng harga CIP
Welcome to Malaysia bro
Thanks mate - I love visiting Malaysia!
wow alan ritchson lookalike....
Haha maybe if Alan ritchson ate way too much Nasi Goreng everyday we'd look similar.
@@SmallBikeStuff haha probably you're right bro.. 🤣🤣
Awesome!
My town 😇
Love it there!
I think you learn how to use the word 'can' in malaysia right?? its not really correct as per english language i believe.
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!
i want to buy rx king sparparts Which country the best Thailand. Malaysia . Indonesia
Malaysia would be the easiest one I’d say.
Can i join your ride ?
This ride has finished already but I'll back again for sure!
I from pineng
It's a great place!
The range of accessories in this place is far better than in southern Philippines. Manila may have shops like this, but anywhere else choice is very limited.
Yes the range is really awesome. Something for everyone.
Mind blowing that people go to this country to get motorbike parts. The stickers cost more than the basket 😂
This was at the end of a long trip on bikes - here’s the trailer for the video series about it: ua-cam.com/video/1NWCgqsFsQ8/v-deo.htmlsi=cNd1aQWPq-n6xExx
You can buy part for bore up you honda future too😂
Haha already 143cc! Here's a video showing me riding it recently.

Thanks bro 🙏
Pirelli + Diablo = Pirello. Everybody knows this!
PIRELLOOOOOO!
You paid 45 instead of 40😂 for the Honda Repsol ….the guy said 40 in Cantonese but 45 in English 😅
Haha yup someone else pointed that out too. Ah well. Still cheaper than NZ!
I know it was not the topic.. but when I was there I was in an area like where you are and it is so sad that you cannot get those bikes anymore. Because if they did all those bikes you were looking at would have been the bikes you just mentioned. Maybe just 125s or 250s? It's just hard to look at these new bikes. They're producing and all the guys that are not old like us don't even really understand their existence as we once had.
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.
why does bro always miss and not talk about the cooler bikes and only show and compare the scooters
Hi it’s bro - everyone likes different things. I show what interests me.
Can can can😂😂😂. Nice!
Haha thank you. Makes things more efficient!
Otw from Penang
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!
Briliant Video................................ 3 xL ........................................ My arse !!!
Thai are better coz got coconut water nearby, this place will made you thirsty.
Very good point! I had to settle for 100 plus.
@@SmallBikeStuff to make more fun, we called it "Air Seratus"🤣
I'm Malaysian. If i go to the shop, i die 😅
Too many parts 😅😅
The ' can, can' sentence shows youre starting to melt into a Malaysian.
It's my favourite Malaysian sentence!
kapcai gang
GANG GANG!
My favorite toy store 🤣
The best area for toy shopping 😂😂
Kena berak harga tayar tu😢
They were half the price of tyres in my country. Quite good!
👍👍👍
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and comment also!
can can can can very malaysian style🤣🤣
Haha gets things done quicker.
@@SmallBikeStuffone more short cut..."have"? I.E. ... do u have?
long live honda EX5
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
Not our secret lair 😂
Haha it took me a few trips to realise it was here.
Lol.. u guys must be looking weird blending in.. small bike stuff
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.
