Rocker arm or also known as cam follower is a piece of metal that follows the cam (SOHC or DOHC) to transfer the lift and close instruction from the cam bump to the valve.
Conventional rocker arm does not have a roller. See picture below.
So, what is the advantage of the roller rocker arm? (more…)

I’ve found this interesting read from Kawasaki website while browsing for their bikes lineup for 2011.
This PDF file of Kawasaki Ninja Story 1984-2009 tells how Ninjas has evolved and undergo revolution for lighter weight, better handling and greater design. My favourite Ninja is the ZX-6R. For me, this bike has the balance of lightweight and power which I can say feels like a pocket rocket. Small but fast. But nowadays even the 1000cc bike has weight that almost as light as the 600cc bike with the introduction of aluminium chassis and lighter plastic fairing.

The comparison for Malaysia version of 2011 Yamaha 135LC Auto Clutch and Manual Clutch version are highly requested by readers. Maybe they need to compare between these two before they can choose what to buy. In my humble opinion (pada pendapat saya dengan rasa rendah diri), both bike are great, but the ES version are absolutely desirable. Very desirable. I think it can be a great replacement for Y125Z that has been stopped production. Anyhow, Y125Z is completely different beast because it is two-stroke bike. I’m guessing this ES will be next popular bike from Yamaha which can be placed along the legends like the RX-Z and Y125Z.
It will be ‘All Conquering’.
So, here it is:
Differences:
1. The foot protector in ‘P’ shape for ES is projected forward while the SS version is projected backward that looks like inverted P.
2. The crankcase design is difference. Maybe this show new crankcase design for ES version. SS version crankcase is the same like the 2006-2010 135LC version.
3. Kick starter also designed differently.
UPDATE (25/04/2011):
4. The wheel of ES is Enkei brand, SS is Yamaha brand.
5. The wheel of ES got wheel lining in red colour.
6. The wheel of ES in black colour, SS in gunmetal gray.
