Lorenzo and 2010 Yamaha Jupiter Z 115cc on Yamaha Indonesia website

Lorenzo and Yamaha Jupiter Z 115cc

Yamaha Indonesia has just updated their website to include the new Yamaha Jupiter Z 115cc with Jorge Lorenzo in their bike lineup for this coming 2010.
I’m guessing this is going to be one of the highest selling bike in Indonesia or anywhere it is being marketed.

My friend in Indonesia, Haen, have sent me this brochure of the 2010 Yamaha Jupiter Z 115cc that is available on 22th November in Indonesia. The design of this bike is quite futuristic and out of conventional mind of what moped bike should be. Yamaha always have the design that is radical but still acceptable to all sort of people.
One of the most important design changes is the key slot. It is different than what we have seen in any other bikes. For better picture, find it in the page 2 of the brochure.
Indonesia got the new Jupiter Z 115cc, Vietnam got their Lexam and Thailand got the Fino, what about Malaysia?

2010 Yamaha Jupiter Z Now Available… in Indonesia

2010 Yamaha Jupiter Z 115cc

The guys in Indonesia are now a happy person since they just got the new 2010 Yamaha Jupiter Z 115cc (in Malaysia, we have the previous model, Yamaha Lagenda Z 110) launched on 22th November recently.
Yamaha also sponsored an event for a 20-day bike test drive around Indonesia to capture the audience from all over the country.
Initial review of the bike shows that this bike is very nice in terms of power and also in terms of design which beats its competitor from Honda and Suzuki.
I personally like this bike since it happens big front headlight that looks like YZF-R6 that can contribute better night driving with the wide spread light beam. Safety can also be improved with this features.

Yamaha Lexam 2010

This is the official pictures from Yamaha Motor Japan. It has been launched on Nov 27, just a few days ago. Vietnam is the first country to have this bike since the moped market there is very big. Almost everyone in Vietnam owns a bike.
For us Malaysians, we need to wait few more months or few more years to get this bike on our shores.
Yamaha Lexam is a new breed of bike which combines the usual look of moped but, with automatic gearset (CVT) mated with roller chain and sprocket for the final drive.

I have posted earlier the Yoshi Racing Engine Gear Set Teeth Count, but I forgot to post about the Yoshi Racing Engine Gear Set itself. So, here it is.
This gear set has a better gear ratio for the great power that comes with the modified 125Z engine. Usually, this gear set is used in drag racing with the front and rear sprocket modified to have higher ratio for better pickup. You can also use this one for track racing with the front sprocket set to 15T and rear 37T. This is a good ratio to be used with this gear set.
Also, SKF high speed bearing is a good addition to be used with this item for better power delivery at high RPM.

Item are available for sale here

SKF Enduro High Speed Bearing for Yamaha 125Z/R

My mechanics tells me that this is one of the popular high speed bearing used by Yamaha 125Z/R owners to add more performance to their bike. Other than SKF, there are FAG and NSK high speed bearing. Usually SKF and FAG are more expensive than NSK due to their durability and ability to stand high strain and pressure of the high speed engine load.
This high speed bearing from SKF is a good addition to the new gearset that you have like the Yoshi Racing Engine Gear Set or IKK Racing Engine Gear Set.

The item is available for sale here

I have found this Shell Advance Scooter engine at SCK Motor in Shah Alam. It is imported from Thailand because all the writings at the back label is in Thai language. You might not see it because the picture is blur anyway.
I wrote about this engine oil just to share that there are a lot of JASO MB oil out there.
Price is at RM25.00.

2010 Yamaha Lagenda or 135LC?

2010 Yamaha Lagenda or 135LC

Motorcycle-thai has released a spy shot for the Yamaha new bike for 2010.
I don’t know whether this one is for Lagenda or 135LC. It is because the headlight is like Yamaha Lagenda but the pilot light is like Yamaha 135LC. After further observation, I saw that the rear suspension is not monoshock but normal double shock.
What do you think, readers? Yamaha Lagenda or 135LC?
The answer will be out on 2010.

Racing Boy 4-piston Caliper

This 4-piston brake caliper from Racing Boy has been fitted to Suzuki Shogun bike which is featured in Malaysian Cub Prix Championship. This fitting means that 4-piston caliper is already enough for racing.

Racing Boy 4-piston Caliper and Racing Boy 300mm Disc Plate

Racing Boy 4-piston Caliper fits very nicely with this Racing Boy 300mm disc plate. As you can see from the picture above, the brake pad of the 4-piston caliper grip the 300mm disc plate and gives a nice brake line feature on the disc plate. Usually, the wrong fitment of the caliper and disc plate will make the disc plate only being gripped on the outer side by the brake pad.
