This is sure to make Yamaha Nouvo S owners happy to see famous stars riding on the popular and lovable Yamaha Nouvo S.

Rossi is leaving Yamaha for Ducati and we no more see Yamaha bikes with 46 decals, but it is okay since we get the 99 edition of Jorge Lorenzo.

Yamaha Nouvo LC got new decals and named Nouvo LX Limited Edition for 2011 version in Vietnam. Yamaha Vietnam knows how to satisfy the riders there and I hope they will always keep up the good work.

This bike looks almost the same like the Yamaha Mio 125 in Thailand with exception for the front headlight.

I also got to know some rumors about this Mio 125 which is said to be launched in Malaysia soon with the name of Ego LC. I heard this when I check out bikes available at GTMax Motor and asked them about the 135LC 5-speed whether it is going to be launched in Malaysia. The salesman said that there are no news about it yet, but there are some rumors about the Ego LC. From my observation, Ego LC should be the same like the Mio 125 in Thailand, maybe with a little bit of front headlight change.

UPDATE (23/11/2010): The rumors are true. Ego LC is here: https://www.bikesrepublic.com/2010/11/22/2011-yamaha-ego-lc-in-malaysia/

I saw this spark plug on display at GTMax Motor at Shah Alam with the great red packaging that is unusual compared to the yellow box normal NGK spark plug packaging.

This NGK Yamaha spark plug is much more expensive compared to the normal NGK spark plug. This one cost at MYR8, whereby the normal NGK B8ES is just at MYR5. The red packaging really attracts my attention here and with the parts number that relates to the RX-Z model of 5BU and 5XK, I really think that I have bought a correct spark plug for my Yamaha RX-Z.

When you ask to get a spark plug for your RX-Z, the shopkeeper usually handed you the BP8ES, which can also be used . But sometime, you might also get BP7ES or even BP9ES. The different number on the spark plug relates to the heat transfer of the spark plug to minimize the carbon deposit that usually stuck at the spark arcing area of the spark plug. I have wrote a little bit about NGK Spark Plug Reference Model for Yamaha.
