2011 Yamaha Jupiter MX (135LC) Side View

Indonesians got to see the all new 2011 Yamaha Jupiter MX (135LC) launched at the 2010 Jakarta Motorcycle Show.

Jupiter MX is as good as what we have been expected with features includes rear disc brake as standard, 5-speed transmission and new radical design.

What Yamaha Indonesia surprise us is the usage of wide front and rear rim that is 2.00 x 17″ for front wheel (or is it 2.15 x 17″ as the technical specification suggested?) and 2.50 x 17″ for rear wheel. Wider tyre give better ride and handling with great improvement on cornering. The rear wheel also got improvement in the chain tensioner department whereby it is now replaced with a new version just like the Yamaha FZ-150i (Vixion).

Also, it got 25mm carburetor (previous was at 22mm)! That is just 1mm less than The Boss (Yamaha RX-Z 135 2-stroke) at 26mm Mikuni VM.

Power figures are up to 12,52 Ps @ 8.500 rpm for the new Jupiter MX (previous is at 11.49ps/8500rpm) and  1,24 kgf.m torque @ 6.000 rpm (previous is at 1.19 kgf.m torque @ 6.000rpm).

Check out the previous model technical specification here and compared it yourself for better view on the improvement areas.

Honda CBR250R in Malaysia

Honda Malaysia has updated their website with images of Honda CBR250R which is going to be introduced soon here in Malaysia. It is available in 3 colours that is black, silver and red.

This bike also features combined ABS, which is a first in its class. PGM-FI also included as standard along with the all new liquid-cooled DOHC 4-valve 250cc engine.

For me, this is a good news for underbone riders who wants to upgrade their 150cc and below bikes to bigger displacement superbike.

Kayaba Laser White Web Rear Absorber for Honda EX5 / Yamaha RX-Z

I got a bike a secondhand Honda EX5 that is fitted with Modenas Kriss rear absorber which look very out of proportion when I got the bike from the shop. I need to change the rear absorber and thinking whether to fit it with original AAP suspension for EX5 or just fit it with Kayaba. I choose Kayaba.

This suspension with this colour also known as Kayaba ‘batik’ here in Malaysia. It is because the decoration on the suspension resembles a bit of ‘batik’ cloth painting.

Most of Yamaha and Modenas bikes use Kayaba as their original suspension supplier. I just want to try this Kayaba on the EX5.

Showa Denso Ignition Coil for Y125Z, RX-Z and 135LC

Great spark will be produced when using this Showa Denso high tension ignition coil.

Ignition coil is actually universal uses, means that you can also use this ignition coil even if your bike is Honda Wave 100. I have seen in my hometown in Kelantan, a Honda C70 uses an ignition coil which is sourced from Perodua Kancil (a car, if you guys out there don’t know). The owner of the bike show me that the ignition produced was powerful when he pulled the spark plug about ONE feet away from the engine, but the spark can still ‘sparked’. He said that this kind of high spark power can deteriorate your piston quickly, as the spark can make a hole in the piston.

KTM Duke 125

KTM is a motocross manufacturer that makes big displacement engine bikes like the KTM RC8 1190. After Bajaj Auto from India expands its share in KTM, the wisest thing to do is to scale down the big engine bike of KTM to small engine, low emission, fuel-efficient but still desirable and still KTM to fit the large Indian market. The bike that holds all the statement is KTM Duke 125.

I never thought that KTM will ever takes this turn to make small bike as nice as this Duke 125. In my head, KTM is one of the greatest motorcross manufacturer along with Yamaha, Suzuki and Honda, that only cater the market for Europe and other countries other than Asia. Now, we are able to get our soul satisfied with this bike that is going to be marketed in 2011.

KTM Duke 125 have everything that KTM bike should have. It have great design by Kiska, great chassis with chromoly steel, great brakes by Bybre (means By Brembo in India) and it got fuel-injection fuel system by Bosch. If you think hard enough, you might think that all this features are NOT meant for a 125cc bikes. This features has raised the price of this bike a little bit compared to Honda CBF 125, which is its competitor.

This bike is assembled in India with local parts, the wheel are made in China with KTM quality specification by Jingfi.

Honda Super Cub 110 Pro

The original Honda Cub C70 function is to serve as cheap and economy people mover. This philosophy has been brought to this new era with the introduction of Honda Super Cub 110 Pro.

The amazing features about this cub is that its fuel economy can reach up to 66.2km/l. This is way more fuel efficient than the current Honda Wave 110RS which only clocked about 49.4km/l. This is being done by equipping this bike with PGM-FI fuel delivery that replaces the carburetor.

The design keeps the retro looks, but all the features are all modern and technologically advanced (compared to the original cub).

For the top of the line version, Honda Super Cub 110 Ultra, it comes with i-VTEC and 6-speed twin clutch transmission for maximum fuel economy. This setup also give the power rating of this bike at 29hp. This is the most powerful 110cc 4-stroker ever. Just kidding.

Will it make to our shore in Malaysia?
