  dun kan chiong

  just remember when turning, slow down to lower gear and control your speed

  at red light junction, clutch in... engage e 1st gear and go on to biting point when moving off... let e wheel move for a few rounds bef slowing releasing e clutch and ltr on engage e 2nd gear when there's enough speed or power

  stall never mind... matter more is can you react fast when your engine stall..

  there isn't immediate failure for stalled engine, but there's demerit for slow response to re-start
