Shinko K3 iTrack tyres are now making its appearance in QBEE Motor shop. This K3 iTrack is designed in Seoul and made in Jinju, Korea. You can show your support of K-pop by using this tyre. In fact, I’m listening to Big Bang – Monster while writing this article. Hehe.

Previously, it is very hard to find tyres for our much loved Yamaha 135LC 5-speed which comes with an almost rare tyre size that is 100/70-17. Many had to revert to use the stock IRC tyre if it is available or use different size, maybe at 110/70 or even 130/70. But now, Shinko K3 iTrack comes with all that sizes that is 100/70-17, 110/70-17 and 130/70-17. The choice is now yours.

We have previously tried the previous generation of Shinko tyre that is the SR877 Evo, which we really liked. The performance on dry are great but at the same times gives a good grip under wet condition. It is made with a medium-soft compound which I think is easy to be worn, but actually it is quite durable, but not as durable as a very hard compound tyre.

This Shinko K3 iTrack is the upgrade of the SR877 Evo, so, we can expect better performance on it. How would we know unless we try it? No worries, we will receive the tyre for review next week. For men, getting a brand new good tyre really makes me happy inside.

BTW, here is the price, not cheap though (RRP from QBEE Motor):

Reading the word ‘Ex 2 Thi’ on the Youtube video as posted by Kevin Le make me clueless about what the video is going to be about. Then, I notice in the video that there is Yamaha 135LC (Exciter in Vietnam) with an exhaust from a 2-stroke bike. Literally, that word means ‘2-stroke Ex’. When the bike is started and the exhaust started to make noises, it is really 2-stroke 135LC! This mod is not just an engine transplant but most of the part used are still maintained from the original 135LC engine. We can see the engine casing is still standard stock from the original 135LC. The job in making this modification possible is not easy in my opinion. So, we from MotoMalaya.net salute you, Vietnam modders.

You’ll want to see the video as the prove that the engine is really 2-stroke:  (more…)

We have installed the eni iRide Moto 4T tec 10W-50 fully synthetic oil few weeks ago to one of our rider’s 135LC. It is a great oil to be tested since eni is a parent company of Agip oil which is the WSBK, Moto2 and Moto3 exclusive fuel and lubricant sponsor. Definitely we are satisfied with this RM65 oil.  (more…)

We have seen the sketch (above) about this naked Kawasaki bike that follows the design of Z800 and Ninja 250R. Taufik from TMCblog, Indonesia, reported this bike earlier to be named ER250C (a named written on the sketch paper), which a probable name for it. Now, I have a very strong source that said that this bike might be named Kawasaki Z250 that will be launched as soon as this January 2013. This Z250 will be sold along side the beautiful Ninja 250R FI which is logical since the Z250 is the naked bike and Ninja 250R is the full-fairing bike.  (more…)

NE Apartment in Japan has designed a special apartment exclusively to the motorcycle enthusiasts. Riders can bring their bike to the apartment and park it inside the house with the built in garage. This is a very nice idea. I always wanted to put Cagiva Mito SP525 in my living room as a centerpiece because I think it would be looking perfectly beautiful.  In Japan, people are riding more bikes and bicycle as an alternative to cars to beat the traffic and the high cost of ownership of it.

BLH Motor, the reliable source for upcoming Yamaha model, has updated us in the FB about the Yamaha XJ6 naked that are going to be launch soon in 2013. The sweet 4-cylinder 600cc engine that is used in YZF-R6 and FZ6 is something that makes this XJ6 a force to reckon with in the arena of motorcycle in Malaysia. Also rumored earlier from Pengecat Bintang is that the Lagenda with fuel injection might also be introduced here.

Will the Yamaha XJ6 naked be as beautiful as this Yamaha XJ6N?
