FAG High Speed Engine Bearing for Yamaha 135LC

The price about MYR100 per piece. Very expensive I must say. Good thing is not cheap, and cheap thing is not good. That is very true. (more…)

RS 18-pieces Screwdriver Set

There is one believe that one screwdriver fits all. They are wrong!
Using a non-suitable screwdriver will make more pressure is needed to turn the screw, this in case make the screwdriver sometimes slips away from the screw head. When this happens, the screw head can be damaged and sometimes up to a point where it can’t be used anymore. This is bad if you original screw set that comes with the bikes. I have once tried to buy original screw for my Yamaha 125Z and it cost me about RM3.oo (USD0.90) per piece!
In the above picture, it is shown a 18-pieces screwdriver set RS brand tool. The Mikuni Super Tuning Manual shown there is printed on A4 paper to give you the idea of the size of the tool set.
Even though I have 18-pieces of the screwdriver, I think I need more than that, maybe another 30 pieces of it with different. Maybe that is just pure indulgence of tools.

2010 Honda CB Twister 110cc

Honda has launched CB Twister 110cc to be marketed next year on January February 2010 in India.
Honda CB Twister target the young with stylish design adopted from large European super-bikes. This combination creates a low maintainance, high fuel efficiency and cutting-edge looks.
Low maintainance is achieved by using a low displacement cylinder with naked design that makes engine access is easy.
High fuel efficient is contributed by the application of low-friction 4-stroke cylinder and also by the low displacement inherent of the bike.

My friend in Indonesia, Haen, have sent me this brochure of the 2010 Yamaha Jupiter Z 115cc that is available on 22th November in Indonesia. The design of this bike is quite futuristic and out of conventional mind of what moped bike should be. Yamaha always have the design that is radical but still acceptable to all sort of people.
One of the most important design changes is the key slot. It is different than what we have seen in any other bikes. For better picture, find it in the page 2 of the brochure.
Indonesia got the new Jupiter Z 115cc, Vietnam got their Lexam and Thailand got the Fino, what about Malaysia?

2010 Yamaha Jupiter Z 115cc

The guys in Indonesia are now a happy person since they just got the new 2010 Yamaha Jupiter Z 115cc (in Malaysia, we have the previous model, Yamaha Lagenda Z 110) launched on 22th November recently.
Yamaha also sponsored an event for a 20-day bike test drive around Indonesia to capture the audience from all over the country.
Initial review of the bike shows that this bike is very nice in terms of power and also in terms of design which beats its competitor from Honda and Suzuki.
I personally like this bike since it happens big front headlight that looks like YZF-R6 that can contribute better night driving with the wide spread light beam. Safety can also be improved with this features.

For us Malaysians, we need to wait few more months or few more years to get this bike on our shores.
Yamaha Lexam is a new breed of bike which combines the usual look of moped but, with automatic gearset (CVT) mated with roller chain and sprocket for the final drive.
