It is good to know that Modenas are now taking agressive steps in winning the hearts of Malaysian bikers. This time they have introduced new colour for the Ace 115 that is blue. Previously, Modenas Ace 115 comes in two colour choices that is Sand White and Fire Bricks(Red). After that they introduced a new colour that is the Ivory Green. That makes up 3 colour choices, now they are adding the blue that makes 4 colours to choose from. In my opinion, the livery design of this Ace 115 is one of the best Modenas has ever made. It has a great looking dynamic lines (lines that make the bikes look fast, even when standing still), simple and trendy.

Kawasaki has just recently launched a gem in their bike lineup. This is Kawasaki D-Tracker 150. Before this, we are accustomed to one of the popular scrambler bike from Kawasaki that is the KLX150S, but this D-Tracker differentiate itself from KLX150S by having smaller tyre for both wheel at 14-inch but with wider profile compared to the KLX150S at 19-inch for the front and 16-inch at the rear.

Another great features is the 5-step adjustable Uni-Track rear suspension to better suits your riding style. Both of the brakes are equipped with single disc brake type with 212mm for the front and 156mm for the rear. If you are still thinking about the intake system of this bike, I can assure you that this bike is still using carburetor or more specific Keihin NCV 24. The 250cc D-Tracker X comes with the fuel injection system with Keihin 34mm single barrel throttle body and I thought this should comes with it too.

Also included is the electric starter for easier startup. One of the reason people like to use scrambler or offroad bike for daily uses is because of the higher strength and higher durability of the chassis and parts of the bikes. This can make the bike last longer than normal moped or automatic bike. You also don’t have to worry with bumps and pothole on the road if you accidentally get into them since this kind of bike are ready to take the abuse. Anyway, it might hurts your butt.

Price for 2012 Kawasaki D-Tracker 150 is at RM9,689.00. Check out the specs and more pictures after the jump   (more…)

Samuel has sent me an email about this radiator protector cover for superbikes. The brand is written ‘KIJ’ on the metal frame of the radiator cover, so, I’m not sure why it is named SUS radiator protector cover in the email that I received. No worries about that. The function of this radiator protector cover, yes, as the name suggests, is to protect the precious radiator from debris, stones and chips from the road from doing damage to it.   (more…)

Josh  has contacted me on Facebook about sending some product pictures of their latest product – an oil cooler set for the Yamaha Exciter (Crypton, Sniper, LC135).  For your information, KTL Tecnic – are the performance tuner based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.  In addition to the products they develop under the brand KTR, they are also the agents for Malossi, Arrow Exhausts, Dynojet and a number of other companies.
For the Yamaha Exciter, KTL Tecnic saw the opportunity to replace the original oil filter cover plate with their own KTR design. The engine oil is pumped across a very sturdy aluminum oil cooler.  The tests show that the oil is cooled by 10deg C, with normal riding, and normal oil pressure is maintained.  The cooled oil is then pumped back to the crankshaft and up to the cylinder head.  The sturdy oil cooler has another advantage in that it’s mounted directly in front of the radiator and serves to product the radiato fins from rock damage.
I’m spreading the word to you all reader since in my deepest opinion, this KTL Tecnic Oil Cooler Kit is a great product many extreme tuners are waiting for, since the problem with extreme modification to the engine is the heat. You can contact Josh via the information as shown below. Also be sure to check out more pictures after the jump  (more…)
