On our way back from Su-ngai Kolok... we choose to ride a different route to gain riding experience.
After we clear Malaysia custom and not long after we spotted route 4 that will link to route 8 about 2hr ride we had link to route 8(408km) toward KL everything was fine until we ride pass Gua Musang... although it was only 8pm the road was dark no lamp post or lighting at all our location was on a hill top 8km away from Gua Musang town..
Mr Teng riding his ST1100 in front of me sudden blackout it was very obvious no brake light and no front light power loss and his bike slow down... I ride pass him as cars was behind me and it was a narrow 2 lane up down road, I was only able to stop almost 5 car length away. As I walk up to Mr Teng position he had try turn off turn on every possible way to start the bike. We suspect the battery flat but no worry as we had back up battery starter... my only worry it's not common while riding battery flat up. As the road was narrow and on and off big truck will pass by Mr Teng is in charge of controlling and guiding the on coming vehicle while I try to figure how to fix the bike. As I open up my bike seat for tools I took my phone from pocket and screen shot a picture "26th May 2014 20:55pm" the horror thing happen NO NETWORK I'm using the DIGI Malaysia sim card... what if the bike cannot be fix?
While I try to open the left side cover where the battery is located the screw does not even move by force! Mr Teng and me switch place he also can't unscrew the nut so we switch back place and I force open the cover with damage on the side cover. (When we are back in SG our mechanic also can't unscrew the nuts)
I find out the main fuse was not only burst and also melt into the socket! Due to fuse socket had damage we had change several fuse till I risk using a wire and it last the longest ride...
We had survive riding the Malaysia urban legend E8 I broke my muguard due to all the holes...
