Racing Bee Racing Booster for Yamaha 135LC

This item is used to boost ignition power from the coil to deliver it to the spark plug. The more spark power that you get, in theory, the better the combustion will be in the combustion chamber.
Anyway, in some cases, the are reported problem that the piston has been leaked in the middle due to very powerful spark from the spark plug.
Use with caution.

FAG High Speed Engine Bearing for Yamaha 135LC

The price about MYR100 per piece. Very expensive I must say. Good thing is not cheap, and cheap thing is not good. That is very true.
This FAG 6305TB.P65 high speed engine bearing is very recommended if you want to get smooth running engine with good power delivery.
I have used two pieces of FAG high speed engine bearing for my Yamaha RX-Z and the results were good and beyond my prediction. Before this, I have used 15T-40T 428 sprocket set for Yamaha RX-Z. My bike has been less pickup and not good at low RPM. But when I use the FAG high speed bearing, I can use 15T-37T 415 sprocket and the power are good from low to mid to high RPM.
Great product, highly recommended and worth the money!

Yamaha Thailand No Cut-Off CDI Unit for Yamaha 135LC

My friend Shah has sent me a new addition to the already many variation of Yamaha 135LC CDI. This one is sourced from Yamaha Thailand which have one special feature that we don't have in Malaysia, that is no cut-off. I'm not sure whether this one is referred to RPM limit cut-off or speed limit cut-off.
Based on Shah's interview with the mechanic at the supplier shop, it is said that this CDI from Thailand is much better compared to BRT and Rextor from Indonesia. Also, I'm not sure about this. By better, it means that the ignition spark and timing are good all around the RPM.
I have spoken to the mechanic who work at Malaysian Cub Prix about racing CDI and he replied to me that he only use original stock Yamaha CDI unit, but, tuned at Hong Leong Yamaha for each and every track for the suitable ignition timings and ignition sparks. Therefore, I do really think that this Yamaha CDI unit from Thailand is as good as told by the mechanic which my friend has interviewed.
Final opinion is up to you to try it yourself. Don't just take my words for it, buy it, feel it and share it here for all of us to know.

X1R: The Another Version of Yamaha LC135

Yamaha X1R Thailand version of Yamaha LC135 is a very special model. It has front and rear brake disc whereby most of the other version only has front disc brake such as Yamaha Sniper (Bermuda) and T135(Europe).
The design of the bike is also very different when compared all of the other version of the LC135. It look much more naked, meaner and more manly. The rear lamp is designed well to suit the overall radical look presented by the absence of front head lamp on the head cover. The front head lamp is being replaced to lower position that is on the fairing. This remind me the look of new Nuovo that is Nuovo LC. It is good design and I think a lot of Yamaha LC135 like to have their bike to resemble this look.
Yamaha X1R also have another version in Thailand that is Yamaha Spark 135i, and as the name suggest it is being equipped with fuel injection.
For those who are looking to convert their bike to resemble X1R, read the post here.

Yamaha 125Z Racing Clutch Set (6 Spring)

Yamaha 125Z Racing Clutch Set (6 Spring)

This racing clutch set is made in Malaysia by Syscast Marketing Sdn. Bhd.
It is different that the stock clutch set fitted to Yamaha 125Z since this one have 6 clutch spring compared to only 5 clutch spring for the stock.
Additional clutch spring will better clutch grip distribution for better power delivery from the engine to the gearbox. You can also upgrade to harder clutch spring used in racing for much better grip of the clutch. You should also know that this will make the clutch lever harder to be pressed.

Yamaha R15 Expert Bike Review

The Yamaha R15 is just the right bike for the most horrendous of riders amongst us to hit the racetrack and learn how to ride fast. It's so technologically advanced, so technically correct, so confidence inspiring, so smooth in its power delivery, so planted with its vice-like grip around corners and so stable with the Deltabox frame working its magic all through that even the clumsiest of riders; the ones who are so slow that they're considering committing suicide; will get hope once they ride it.

All the components of the Yamaha R15 work in harmonious unison and right from the time you get astride the bike, it feels 'just right'. The footpeg-bar-saddle geometry, the height of the handlebar, the feel of the clutch and brake levers; this bike is extraordinarily well put together in every perceptible way. It's sporty but not uncomfortably so, revvy but not torquelessly so, small and light but not powerlessly so and its suspension is tuned for great dynamics but not stiffly so. Full points to Yamaha boffins for bringing out the most uncompromising track oriented motorcycle without trading off any of the virtues that a street rider desires.

On the track, all it would take for even the most inexperienced rider to find the humongous difference between the R15 and the rest of the bikes is one lap. The new Yamaha is leaps and bounds ahead of its competition; it's like chalk and cheese, if I maybe allowed to be a little cliched. Turn the ignition on and the engine emanates the most refined and revvy hums you have ever heard from a 150cc bike. Slot it in the first gear, and you'll realize the gearbox works like nothing else; butter-smooth with loads of feedback. The gear ratios are terrifically well sorted out, delivering loads of punch to accelerate hard from low speeds and to deliver the grunt to keep accelerating after reaching the triple digit figures.

Around the MMSC racetrack, the Yamaha R15 was the only bike of the quartet to have a perfectly perfect gear for every corner. All other bikes feel as if they are over or under-revving at some or the other corner, but on the Yamaha R15 you have a gear that enables you to power out without the limiter cutting in too soon or the low revs urging you to shift down.

Apart from the smooth revving, punchy engine and an equally brilliant gearbox, Yamaha R15 also has the best underpinnings to qualify as the niftiest handler around the circuit. If putting your knee down is something that you have been dreaming of ever since you learnt how to spell BIKE and have been failing to achieve the feat till date, just take this bike around the racetrack. Like an angel, the R15 will have your wish granted in no time. You're more of a SWAT commando than a rider aboard this Yamaha.

Just point and shoot, and another corner goes down - the Yamaha R15 really makes it that simple. The beauty of it all is that the bike never scares you as you try to go faster. It always lets you know that you could do better, improving you as a rider with every lap unlike some other bikes which would scare you to death every time you tried to take them to their limit. Supremely accomplished and incredibly effortless, the Yamaha R15 is a class act and it'll take a Herculean effort from any manufacturer to match it; in its class at least.

Racing Boy Yamaha LC135 Rear Disc Brake Kit

Click to enlarge

This time it is for Racing Boy Yamaha LC135 Rear Disc Brake Kit. I guess this one is more expensive than the one that I have featured recently.
I like this one since it has a very nice red colour for the caliper with the grooved and cut disc plate. This kit also consist of disc plate, caliper, brake pump, brake fluid reservoir, but some things has gone missing in the picture that is the brake lever and caliper mounting plate. I forgot to ask the shop whether it came with those items. If anyone have any info about this, hope you can share.

What to Look For in Motorcycle Oils

Every biker should consider the type of oil needed, before changing his or her oil. There are many things to consider first. Changing motorcycle oil is not like changing your car oil. There are differences that we have to look at.

Before you select a motorcycle oil, look at the difference between motorcycle engine oils and car engine oils.

A. Cars are used more often than motorcycles. Sometimes our bike just sets in the garage for weeks or even months. Inactivity of the motorcycle engine puts stress on the oil. This brings about concerns for rust and corrosion protection.

B. When we ride our bikes, we tend to operate at a higher engine speeds than our cars. These high RPM's will produce foaming, which speeds up oxidation.

C. Your Motorcycle will operate with a higher engine compression ratio than your car. This will increase engine temperature.

D. Your motorcycle engine produces about twice the horsepower per cubic inch of displacement of your car engine. Again more stress and higher temperature.

E. Cars use water-cooling system to control engine temperature. You may have a bike that the engine is air-cooled. If you do, the engine will operate at a higher temperature causing you oil to thin.

Every biker should consider each of these statements, before selecting their Motorcycle Oil.

For years, I listen to different bikers, about what type of oil to use. Bikers saying use this oil and use that oil. Therefore, I decided to look into this myself. After reading all the studies and test done, I concluded that Synthetic Oils was the way to go.

I have been riding and racing Motorcycles for over 30 years. This does not make me an expert on the maintenance and care of a bike but I have learned a few things in my years as a biker. I have decided to set up my own personal web site at http://www.texaslubeoil.com so that every can see what I have determined to be the best Synthetic oil on the market today.

Yamaha YZF-R1 LE (Limited Edition) Review

Yamaha has unveiled it’s 2010 model “one”. Yes, the much awaited 2010 YZF R1 has been revealed by Yamaha that has taken a clean sweep of all the racing hearts around the world. The reason? It’s pretty simple with the technology that is offered in MotoGP is now on R1.

Yes, we all know that it’s already available in 2009 YZF R1, anything new? The answer will be a big yes! Because, Yamaha has finally come up with the bold and the beautiful Rossi replica theme in the 2010 YZF R1 with those stunning “Fiat Yamaha” Team graphics, “#46” and “The Doctor” decals including a bright replica of Valentino Rossi’s signature on the fuel tank. That provides the ultimate style with substance for all the Rossi fans.

Ok, apart from all show, does this bike really go? I know this sound really stupid to put such a dumb question against the “one” but what’s the truth, as Honda also have showcased their 2010 CBR1000RR and so do other manufacturers as well with their own state of the art technologies. What separates this bike from the rest of the liter class super bikes?

The “One” Engine

The Cross plane crank shaft: This is the “one” that separates men from the boys. This technology was first pioneered in MotoGP racing with the YZR M1. The technology behind this is that it puts each piston at 90 degree from the next with an uneven firing interval of 270-180-90-180 degrees respectively.

Crazy stuff isn’t it? Does it matter in street bikes? Yes, because Yamaha wants the world to know what kept them winning in MOTOGP and now they wanted to implement them in street bikes preferably in YZF R1. I know there are questions arising like, are there any advantages? And the answer is yes, the advantages of these are pretty huge, as it lets the power to build up smoothly which provides better and smooth roll-on’s out of the corners with a firm plant of the bike on ground. The engine also features forged aluminum pistons that take maximum advantage of the power characteristics coupled along with titanium intake valves that are lightweight in construction.

Forced Air Intake: The bike is adopted with an Forced Air Intake system that helps to increase the air intake efficiently by utilizing the natural airflow while riding that pressurizes the air in the air box that contributes to an out standing power delivery in the top end range while the new design also minimizes the air intake noise.

Slipper clutch: This is quite common in all super bikes, but a slipper clutch with a back torque limiter?? Only in the “One”, the slipper clutch with a back torque limiter helps in breaking or downshifting from high rpm a risk free and a smooth one.

Dual Under seat Exhaust: The dual under seat exhaust not only enhances the look of the bike but does more than that. The exhaust is carefully designed to enhance the engine output while the three way catalyst technology will take care of the emission and sound norms and with all these norms the bike is still a screamer.

Fuel Injected: The fuel injected engine has the full advantage of Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle YCC-T coupled with the MotoGP inspired YZR M1’s Fly-by-Wire technology that delivers instant throttle response irrespective of the engaged gear. The engine also features the Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake YCC-I a variable intake system that wideness the spread of power. The fuel injectors also have 12 nozzles for optimum fuel optimization that translates power from every fuel that burns.

Drive Mode: Yamaha offers the Yamaha D-Mode also known as Drive mode variable throttle control in which three drive modes can be selected according to the purpose that are easily accessible in the handle bars. The “A” mode is typically track mode that puts more emphasis on engine response in the low and mid range rpm. The “B” mode provides less sensitive throttle response that can be used for city riding and the last the Standard map is designed for optimum overall performance.

“One Chassis”

Yamaha the inventor of Delta Box frame, will they do any lesser for this beast? The frame is rigid and solid and is composed of controlled-fill die-cast, stamping and gravity casting that contribute a majority of the bike’s handling.

Forks: The bike features SOQI front forks (for people wondering what’s SOQI, it’s just a division owned by Yamaha that manufactures Shocks) that is exactly the same in the race winning MOTOGP YZR M1. What’s the difference it makes? The difference is that both the forks always move together which shares the duties among themselves where the compression damping duties will be taken care by the left fork while rebound damping is precisely handled by the right fork which eventually reduces oil cavitation.

Rear Shock: The mono rear shock a feature both high and low speed compression damping and also has an easy-to-use hydraulic screw adjustment for preload. The unit incorporates pillow-ball-type joint for exceptional shock absorption, road feeling and exceptional damper response. The brilliant and crisp handling characteristics are achieved by the bottom linkage that is designed to work with the rest of the chassis.

With all the features, the bike is sure to set the pulse racing. Here goes the news for the light hearted people, this bike is a limited edition “one” and only a few will be available throughout the world although there is no idea of Yamaha India bringing this bike to India but when here will surely keep the hearts and tracks on fire.

Yamaha Launches V-Max In India

Yamaha have launched the 2009 V-Max in India, this is the third bike in its stable beside the R1 and MT-01 in India and this would help Yamaha to expand its product portfolio in the country. In case you were wondering, this machine is powered by a 4 cylinder 1679cc engine that produces 200bhp with an amazing torque of 167Nm.

The Engine: A 1,679cc liquid-cooled 4-stroke DOHC 65 degree V4 engine that develops 200 PS at 9,000 rpm, together with a torque output of 166.8 Nm at 6,500 rpm, is the heart of this machine, features such as YCC-I (Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake) and YCC-T (Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle) work together with the high capacity engine to enhance performance and drivability.

The engine also features forged aluminium pistons that are extremely light weight and hence help in improving performance and efficiency of the bike. Another technical innovation used is the Fracture-split carburized con rods, which are rods that connect the piston to the crankshaft, these were first used on the 2004 model YZF-R1, and in order to reliably handle the massive torque of the Vmax engine, this technology had to be put into use. The YCC-I (Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake) system varies the intake funnel length electronically in order for the intake valve to provide a positive intake pulse that suits the engine RPM.

Shaft Drive System: The V-max employs a shaft drive system instead of the usual chain and sprocket and the advantages that this type of a mechanism offers is not hard to figure out. The sealed shaft drive becomes handy specially in India where in monsoons, chains would have to be lubricated every once in a while, with the new system, a V-max owner can enjoy a low maintenance drive system and also a reliable one which stands ahead of traditional chain systems.

Exhaust System: The V-max also comes equipped with a 4-1-2-4 exhaust system featuring short, upswept mufflers. After leaving the cylinders, the four header pipes flow into a single chamber, where the system splits into a left and right side pipe, and then each of these divides again to give a 4-1-2-4 system. This not only enhances the throttle feel but also the sound of the engine.

Advanced ECU That Watches Emissions: An 02 sensor detects oxygen levels in the exhaust system and alters the supply of fuel via the fuel injection system to ensure that emissions are minimized, while a 3-way honeycomb catalyser ensures the VMAX stays well within emmission regulations.

Frame and Chassis: Yamahas engineering department have showcased their capabilities with the frame of the V-Max that features that is made up of a variety of gravity-cast, die-cast and extruded aluminium sections. This results in a frame that is both rigid and at the same time lightweight.

Titanium Coated Front Forks and Adjustable Suspension: A special titanium coating ensures that the forks always operate at its best as titanium helps in reduction of friction between surfaces in the forks itself. The rear suspension is a link-type Monocross system which is fully adjustable for preload, compression and rebound damping.

The bike is also equipped with a hydraulic remote adjuster for changing the preload setting, a remote control dial under the footrest helps in adjusting the compression damping. Another remote control dial beneath the left-side swing arm allows adjustment of the rear shock’s rebound damping.

ABS and ECU Controlled Braking: This bike is equipped with one of the world’s most advanced braking systems, its brakes are hydraulically actuated while being linked to the ECU in order for it to calculate the optimum braking force required to bring the machine to a safe halt. The control systems are placed under the seat and operate without interfering unless absolutely required this placement also makes the mass more centralized, something that has been done a lot even on the FZ 16. Yamaha claims to have tested this system on various road conditions.

What We Say: Import duties in India are 60% and taxes and insurance add another 30% to the price of the bike, in effect you are paying double the amount of money to own an imported machine in India, the government seems to have no plans in particular to lower these taxes and hence, this factor alone shows why imported bikes don’t sell as good as in the west or other places. For the record, this beast costs 20,00,000 Rupees, Ex showroom, Delhi. So, whats it going to be? A luxury sedan or the V-Max, the choice is yours.

Why LC135 have only 4-speed gear and 125Z have 6-speed gear?

Have you ever wonder about this? Why is it the marvelous and lovable Yamaha LC135 only have 4-speed gear and Yamaha 125Z having additional 2 speed gear? Is Yamaha neglected the important aspect of speeds and thrills? Well, I have been thinking about this for a while and tried to find out why. Here is what I've found out...

The reason why Yamaha 125Z needed to have 6-speed gear is due to narrow powerband that is natural for 2-stroke engine. 2-stroke engine needs RPM more than 5000 (depends to the cc) to deliver its optimum torque, whereby 4-stroke engine can deliver the optimum torque from as low as 1500 RPM. So, because of this, 2-stroke engine needs to have a lot more gear than 4-stroke engine to make sure the torque can be spreads out all along the speed (km/h) starting from low speed to very high speed.

For example, LC135 can run on 4th gear as low as 20km/h and from there you can also speeds up to 160km/h without hesitation from the engine. Try this on your 125Z, and tell me how does it feels.

As you can see, having only 4-speed gear on LC135 is not a disadvantage, it is the nature of 4-stroke engine that have wide powerband. But, I think it is also not a wrong decision if Yamaha engineers decides to make LC135 being 6-speeder! More power, more fun!

Yamaha Jupiter MX 135 LC Prototipe

Japanese motorcycle manufacturer, or Europe does not create doubt in the prototype. In fact, Indonesia also did not want to lose. Although up to now can not make full motor, Indonesia is able to show through the modification of motor Yamaha Jupiter MX 135 LC. Results of children of the nation's North Sumatra included in this modification Mofest Contest 2 Region III, North Sumatra.

Budi Udin Fakkar of Jatayu Motor Sport classified Jupiter MX remodel the property of Jimmy's. Basically, he just did not want to change the body that is designed like the body of motor concept. "I want so enggak. Prototype mengaplikasi also true that some components mengaplikasi different mechanisms work," said Budi.

For, the concept of motor preparation technology manufacturer also offers a component that is different from the bulk product. There is also a component of the mechanism which was developed from the previous component.

That reference Budi. Hence, the MX technology, which has been far from the actual MX. He also said if it was ciptaannya motor sport of the future.

Modifications in the technology components are offered, there are three sections that can Dilirik. First, the system be the steering wheel ratio. There are comparisons within a radius turn bar to be moved in and out.

Second, the mechanism of shock reducer is a new innovation. Budi as Advance Suspension. Mechanisms related to the application of wheel hubless. Handbook velg ditopang two pillars that send a shock load to the reducer.

The principle works like a shock unitrack back, but the position is placed upside down. Interestingly, although the system hubless, this part remains soft when bermanuver.

Finally, the keyless ignition. Turn key ignition engine life by using the sensor gesek. Yes, such a card which is used as the key in the hotel room.

Budi with courage, be appropriate if his work as The Best Region III. Congratulations.

Features

Yamaha Sniper 135 Hand Clutch Version

• DiASil (die-cast aluminum cylinder) which has better heat conductance to dissipate excessive heat easily.
• Lighter forged piston
• Roller bearing rocker arms with less friction than typical rocker arms.
• 4-valve water-cooled engine - The 4-valve engine configuration provides better volumetric efficiency compared with other 4-stroke moped models which uses 2-valve engine design, enabling the engine to produce higher torque at high rpm. However, the engine displacement of 135cc limits the ability of air-cooling system while retaining the small kapchai design at the same time, therefore water-cooling system which has better cooling efficiency is used.
• Fuel injection (2008 Yamaha Spark 135i in Thailand only) for less dirtier emission and better efficiency than the carbureted version.
• Carburetor with throttle position sensor and accelerator pump (other countries) - The Y135LC uses Mikuni VM22 carburetor equipped with throttle position sensor for more precise ignition timing, increasing the engine's efficiency, and also an accelerator pump for better acceleration and instant response during take-off.
• Catalytic converter - Even though most 4-stroke kapchai models are capable to surpass strict emission standards without even using the catalytic converters, Yamaha has taken an initiative to install a catalytic converter to the Y135LC to surpass even stricter emission standards in the future.
• Sport rims with tubeless tires (standard for Malaysian models only)
