Racing Boy Shock Absorber with Gas for Yamaha RX-Z

Compared to liquid, gas is much more lighter and compressible, thus making it suitable to absorb shocks. Based on this criteria (compressible), many high performance shock absorber tend to use gas as their shock absorbent.

The effect than can be achieved by using this gas shock absorber is better ride, more comfort and more control. Also, the design of this Racing Boy shocks is very nice with white colour and short metal holder case.

Uma Racing Engine Block for Yamaha Ego

Performance parts from Uma Racing is well accepted by most bikers here in Malaysia. Now, they have introduced a racing block for Yamaha Ego.

They are two sizes available for the bore size that is 58.5mm and 61mm. Even a slight increase of displacement can affect greatly in the combustion chamber size. For example, Kriss 120 only needed to be bored by 1mm to increase the cc to 125.

Racing Boy Adjustable Damper

This damper from Racing Boy can be installed to various bike namely LC135, 125Z and RX-Z.

It can be adjusted up to 6 different hardness or dampness. The harder you set, the more damp your handle will be. The hardest setting is good for sprint test but not for curvy track as this will make your turning much slower than usual.

Yamaha RZR, Mexico Version of RX-Z
Different people have different taste. Different country, different market. So, what has been done by Yamaha in order to catch the motorcycle market in Mexico, they have modified Yamaha RX-Z version in Asia to Yamaha RZR.

The differences can be looked at the full-fairing set compared to the naked look of RX-Z and the rear brake that has been equipped with disc brake where RX-Z only have drum brake.

IMHO, I prefer the current look of RX-Z. The full-fairing maybe give a better aerodynamics than naked configuration but at a cost of more weight. The full-fairing also will make the access to the engine much harder. The thing that I want from RZR is the rear brake disc configuration to be installed on RX-Z as standard. Rear brake is important since it can give a better confidence in braking while in high speed. Some biker said that it is useless to use the rear brake, but for me, it is very important. Since RX-Z use a rear drum brake, that is a good way to make the bike much cheaper than other competing bike. The only competitor for RX-Z that I know is Honda Raider 135, but it is not so popular compared to RX-Z.

Looking back to Malaysia, I’m happy with the current design of RX-Z and my favorite colour for it is BLACK.
