MCS 15-37T 415 Sprocket for Yamaha bike

MCS 15T Front Sprocket

MCS 37T Rear Sprocket

MCS is one of the sponsor of Malaysian Cub Prix. The quality has been proven in races in the series. 415 series sprocket and chain is considered race chain setup due to its closer teeth configuration and obviously lighter in weight compared to 428 and 420 setup.
The problem with 415 setup is that it is easy to wear out and hence, needs a more frequent maintainance and replacing.

Greece Yamaha 135LC Fitted with AHM Black Muffler Exhaust

Close-up view

This picture is sent to me by Nikolaos Stamatakis in Heraklion, Greece. He has fitted his bike with the black AHM muffler that has been featured recently in MotoMalaya. In Greece, Yamaha 135LC is known as Yamaha Crypton.
I like the execution of this black AHM muffler to the black 135LC. It looks mean and very simple. There are also a lot of muffler colour such as gold, silver, red, carbon fibre and titanium, but they are not easy to find especially the one in colour gold.
Thanks to Stamatakis for the pics. Happy motoring Greece!

Yamaha RXZ Catalyzer Original Mikuni VM26 Carburetor

Made in Thailand but the quality is high according to Mikuni carburetor of Japan. I have used this one in fact to one of my bike and it is as good as the one which comes with the bike.
The problem with the non-original carburetor is that it is very hard to do the setting. The thread of the air screw is not made precisely as needed. Even if you manage to set it to good setup, the thread tends to adjust itself to improper position.
This carburetor doesn’t have that problem. It is good to go. And if you notice, the slide inside the carburetor is in black colour.
VM26 means the carburetor size is 26mm.
