I know some of you who ride Honda scooters might have problem looking for the the JASO MB motor oils. JASO MB is required for the scooters as scooters use dry clutch system compared to normal 4-stroke bike that use wet clutch system. Wet clutch system is a system where the transmission, clutch and gears share the same lubricant oil with the piston, cams and crankshaft.
Dry clutch is the one that is not shared. That’s why you have transmission oil for scooters.
JASO MB oil have friction modifiers compared to JASO MA which does not have the friction modifiers.
Even though that is the case, you still can use any motor oil with API SG and above grade, but make sure there is not ‘Energy Conserving’ label on the pack.
I have checked my Honda iCon manual book for the transmission oil and it is only required for 0.10L.
For more info, try to search Wikipedia entry with the word ‘JASO MB’.

Geoffrey have sent me an email containing the images of his bike shown here. It is now resides in Great Britain. He told me that this bike has been imported from Thailand. I guess there is no X-1 available at the shop there.
It is good to know that there are also Yamaha moped enthusiasts from GB as I thought they were only interested in big bikes, street fighters and choppers.
If there are any of you from GB that like to feature your moped here, just email me here

Many of us like to use a very high quality of tools for our Yamaha bike repair. I have stumble upon to this very good online store that sells spanners, pliers, screwdrivers, socket sets and many more. The brand that are available includes Stanley, Proto, Danaher Group Tools, Bahco and RS brand itself.
This tools is very different from the one that you buy from supermarket that is made in China.
Quality for this products sold here are from medium to high quality. Also this means, the price is not cheap. Quality comes with a price. I have bought one Stanley Proto 1/4 socket ratchet driver and that one cost me for RM160.

Exhaust pipe are the easiest performance upgrade we can do to our bike whether is Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki, Modenas, big bike or small bike. For 2-stroke bike, exhaust pipe is very important as it is very closely related to performance of the bike and that is very true if you look at the exhaust pipes YYPang has to offer for Yamaha Y125Z bike. It has 6 different pipes!
Different exhaust dimension will give different performance at different RPM. For stock exhaust pipe, the pipe is tuned for good overall performance with almost silent sound. But, if you look for the sprint test exhaust pipe, you can see it is shorter and the ‘belly’ or the chamber is slimmer. This is due to the fact that this exhaust need to perform very well and at its very best at highest RPM. Meaning that the performance of this sprint test exhaust is not good from low to mid RPM. In sprint test, who doesn’t hit the throttle to full carb opening and highest RPM?
Choose your exhaust wisely.
