My friend has fitted this Acerbis Flash Handguard to his Yamaha 135LC ES 5-speed for a test review. We don’t have anything to expect at first and thought that it is only an accessory to add style to the bike. At first, the fitment of the handguard looks odd and unusual. In fact, I have never seen any Yamaha 135LC fitted with this thing. (more…)

Raining season is coming in Malaysia and you as riders should prepare yourself for it if your motorcycle is the only option for your daily use. If not, you can just easily drive a car.
Here are my tips on driving on wet condition:
1. Change your tyre to a medium-hard compound with aqua channel tread pattern to disperse the water away from the rubber.
2. Test the slipperiness of your tyre by giving it a good hard brake so that you have better understanding of your tyre grip. If you are not sure, just drive slow and don’t take the risk.
3. Anticipate danger in front of you so that you are aware to pull the brake sooner since disc brake have lower grip in wet. Also, try to pull the brake few times before really apply the braking force to dissipate the water on the disc plate.
4. Prepare a full rain suit. Jacket and pants.
5. The more grip the tyre is on the tarmac, the more slippery it is on cement or tiles (mosaic) pathway. So, be careful.
6. Avoid riding on the road lines and markings since it is very slippery in wet condition. If you need to brake, stay away from it, then you brake.
That is just a little info based on my riding experience, hope it can give benefit to you.

Yamaha Thailand has officially launched the much awaited TTX 115i which have the styling of a supermoto. The design has a lot of edgy lines that adds cyber looks and big headlamp on the front fairing that looks masculine enough. I personally like this TTX 115i very much and willing to plonk money on it if it is arrived in Malaysia. It got fuel injection system named YM-Jet. FI system can adds fuel efficiency to the bike and this mean lower CO2 and waste fuel since the FI system metering is accurately measured to the combustion chamber. (more…)
