Captured this while waiting for my bike at GTMax Motors.

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.

Yamaha Nouvo LC got new decals and named Nouvo LX Limited Edition for 2011 version in Vietnam. Yamaha Vietnam knows how to satisfy the riders there and I hope they will always keep up the good work.

This bike looks almost the same like the Yamaha Mio 125 in Thailand with exception for the front headlight.

I also got to know some rumors about this Mio 125 which is said to be launched in Malaysia soon with the name of Ego LC. I heard this when I check out bikes available at GTMax Motor and asked them about the 135LC 5-speed whether it is going to be launched in Malaysia. The salesman said that there are no news about it yet, but there are some rumors about the Ego LC. From my observation, Ego LC should be the same like the Mio 125 in Thailand, maybe with a little bit of front headlight change.

UPDATE (23/11/2010): The rumors are true. Ego LC is here: https://www.bikesrepublic.com/2010/11/22/2011-yamaha-ego-lc-in-malaysia/

I saw this spark plug on display at GTMax Motor at Shah Alam with the great red packaging that is unusual compared to the yellow box normal NGK spark plug packaging.

This NGK Yamaha spark plug is much more expensive compared to the normal NGK spark plug. This one cost at MYR8, whereby the normal NGK B8ES is just at MYR5. The red packaging really attracts my attention here and with the parts number that relates to the RX-Z model of 5BU and 5XK, I really think that I have bought a correct spark plug for my Yamaha RX-Z.

When you ask to get a spark plug for your RX-Z, the shopkeeper usually handed you the BP8ES, which can also be used . But sometime, you might also get BP7ES or even BP9ES. The different number on the spark plug relates to the heat transfer of the spark plug to minimize the carbon deposit that usually stuck at the spark arcing area of the spark plug. I have wrote a little bit about NGK Spark Plug Reference Model for Yamaha.
