BETTER than Thailand? Malaysian Motorcycle Market
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 มี.ค. 2024
- 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.
Parts are plentiful, well priced and best of all the shops are all too eager to help.

The feedback on this video is awesome! 5K views in a day is huge for me - THANK YOU for watching. MORE Malaysia videos coming soon!
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 👍👍👍😁
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
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!
those sticker "jangan dekat owner tengah healing" really amuse me 🤣🤣
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...😅
alloy rims doesn't require tubes inside. you can use tubeless tyres. people in Malaysia prefer that 😁
Very good point! Makes sense.
Solid Sense and NKS, you can tell their price is good when there is over 10 shops selling the same thing. Happy shopping!
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
She scam you, RM31 for 4 normal sticker..normally for that kind of sticker cost around rm1.50 to rm3.00 each
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 👍
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
Great info! Thank you for the help.
Sentul was our former train centre during british time. But i am glad it is the bike centre now.
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).
I am Singaporean, as a neighbour of Malaysia, on their behalf and Singapore's, we approve your "Can".
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.
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..
Yeah I spend a lot of time looking on Shoppee it’s cool. But this was more exciting in real life! Haha.
Looking forward to your coming vids. This one was fun.
Thank you there is a lot more to come!
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 💕
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.
Glad you like it! I've got 500+ GB to sift through from the riding too. Gonna be a long one!
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.
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 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.
Haha so nostalgic Sentul where i used to live from 1986-2000. And once had my YAMAHA RXZ engine total overhauled in one of those shops u went in. U are already like a pro buying stuff over there bro😅
Love the RXZ - it's nice to still see so many good ones in Malaysia. Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it.
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.
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.
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.
Had a stopover in KL recently found a shop complex of accessories Pertama just down the road
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.
Wow, watching this video brings back a lot of memories from growing up in Sentul. Thanks for this content.
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.

Thanks for your comment and thank you for watching. Sentul is a great place!
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
hi. Can I request a video about the Yamaha VEGA ZR 115.😅😅😅😅.PLSSSSSSSSSS
Awesome!
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.
We used alloy wheels as we goes tubeless....much more safe if we had a puncture....
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.
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.
nice one boys keep it going ya
Thanks mate! Thank you for watching.
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.
Tq For Buy from my shop❤️❤️❤️😅😅
Wow is one of these shops yours?
This guy hit the 'can' like a pro. Friggin impress hahaha
Gotta do as the locals do. Makes things quicker!
dude come to johore bahru.... one town in malaysia.... 🤘🏾
I would love to visit on the next trip!
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Mai pineng harga CIP
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.
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.
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.
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.
Any plans to come back to Malaysia?
Definitely! Only just got home from Malaysia too.
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.
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.
I from pineng
It's a great place!

Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and comment also!
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.
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.
Welcome to Malaysia bro
Thanks mate - I love visiting Malaysia!
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.
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.
kapcai gang
GANG GANG!

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!
The ' can, can' sentence shows youre starting to melt into a Malaysian.
It's my favourite Malaysian sentence!
Not our secret lair 😂

They were half the price of tyres in my country. Quite good!
Once in a while in those bike places You'll see one of those really awesome 250 2-stroke Cafe race bikes.. And if you get really lucky you will see the 500cc two-stroke Suzuki gamma Those are like Ferraris very expensive you will see some of the owners have them in their shops as their personal bikes.. 95% of those are all garbage four-stroke toilet bikes.. Malaysia has a pretty good Supply of the old pre-ban 2 Strokes you buy those they keep going up in price.. They have worked out the problems with two strokes they might start racing again on the track then it might put price pressure on the old two strokes because the new ones will be fuel injected what different compression and they will be just as clean as the four strokes but so powerful.. They don't know how to bring them back onto the racetrack what they should do in the same way they did against the two strokes the four strokes were considered cheater bikes.. Because they would race 500s against 250s and 125s against 250s.. And the new generation of Two Strokes are so powerful the four strokes are a joke.... Many people do not realize two strokes put out twice as much power for fuel consumed.. As four stroke.
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!
Why Thailand ??? 555+
Because I filmed a parts market there also in 2022.
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.
I WOULD NAVER GO THERE !!! THE LOW LIFE B SWAPPED THE ITEMS THAT I HAVE PAID FOR NEW ONES !! 🤬🤬🤬
That’s a shame you had that experience. There are so many shops though maybe try a different one. I had a great experience buying there.
Thailand more advanced in automotive technology then Malaysia
Probably right - I think it depends what parts you want as to which country has the best options.
But malaysia more to skilled how to modified car and motocycles....
I would gladly say yes, but more in engine modification. Thailand went freaking steroids specifically on diesel engines. But, if looking for standard spares part, both Thailand and Malaysia are on the same level.
I guess depends on what parts you looking at
My hometown
It's a great location!
hi. Can I request a video about the Yamaha VEGA ZR 115.😅😅😅😅.PLSSSSSSSSSS
