The stock side mirror that comes with the bike is very high and have long neck. It must be replaced with a shorter and lower side mirror.

On my visit to Storm Bikers, Shah Alam,  I found this Kuni foldable side mirror on sale at only RM12.

Even though the side mirror is foldable, I didn’t fold it because I do use the side mirror to look behind me especially on high speed. Many bikers like to remove their side mirror so that they bike look nice, but you should know that you might get fined by the JPJ or traffic police. At least you need to have one side mirror on the right side of your bike to be road legal.

I think I have been visiting GTMax Motors almost every week. This week, I found out that they already got the new Yamaha Ego LC at their showroom. Since they know me, they allow me to take pictures of the bike.

The salesman there are very helpful and tell me a lot of information about the bike. You should go here even if you were just looking for bikes and not buying it.

I have went to GTMax Motors to have my Lagenda 115ZR rear suspension checked since I suspected there is a leak on the right side of the bike. The leak was in the form of very thin oil which splatters around the rear suspension and also on the exhaust. You can see it in the picture at the bottom. (more…)

Do you still remember the Honda EX5 Dream Drag Race Modified ? I stumbled upon this spark plug when the owner of the drag modified Honda EX5 Dream buying this item at Yulite in Sentul. He said that this Magnum 3X is good for modified bike since it has 3 ground electrode around the center electrode.

We can expect to have enhanced ignition efficiency, better acceleration, faster starting, smoother running engine and better fuel consumption by installing this Magnum 3X spark plug.

I have bought this spark plug and will install to my Yamaha Lagenda 115ZR.

Hong Leong Yamaha has released new addition to its family that is Yamaha Ego LC! I have heard rumors earlier at GTMax Motors and it is true. This bike is the same model with Yamaha Mio 125 in Thailand and Yamaha Luvias 125 in Vietnam.

I think this bike is a little too late to arrive in Malaysian shore. The interest for it have dropped since it is already being launched in Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam long time ago. In fact, I already assumed that we will never get to see this bike in Malaysia and ready to accept it. Now, we are eager to get the 2011 Yamaha Jupiter MX which is 135LC with 5-speed, but there are no news for it right now whether it is going to be here or not.

Anyway, what’s great about this Ego LC is the bike under seat compartment at 12.8 liter which can accommodate helmet easily. This volume is much bigger compared to my Lagenda 115ZR under seat compartment at only 7.0 liter.

In terms of sticker design, this one look okay. Compared to the Yamaha Mio 125 MotoGP Rossi Edition in Thailand, that one is purely desirable. But, you can have the cover set sprayed and embed the sticker of the Mio 125 to the Ego LC.

This is sure to make Yamaha Nouvo S owners happy to see famous stars riding on the popular and lovable Yamaha Nouvo S.

Rossi is leaving Yamaha for Ducati and we no more see Yamaha bikes with 46 decals, but it is okay since we get the 99 edition of Jorge Lorenzo.
