KOM135, it's another forum.

Charge, have you tried the Kpg Jawa entrance from mainroad under the hiway after a rain? Notice the zebra crossing? I slipped on the white stripes twice. At first I didn't realize I slipped because of the paint, as I normally don't look at the road when I ride, until yesterday.

Heavier tyre will reduce acceleration no matter what.
Wider tyre will reduce top speed becoz of grip = friction, same with soft compound. Dual compound good, hard in the middle soft on the sides - like Battlax and Supercosa Dragon.
For braking, heavier tyre takes longer to stop, but better grip avoids skidding.

Mass = inertia. To increase angular momentum of a bigger mass, you need bigger force (torque = acceleration).
Bigger angular momentum makes cornering more stable, as steering won't goyang.

Also, bigger tyres softer compound means more expensive and wear out faster; riding is more enjoyable and you go out more - in the end... burn out wallet faster.

Btw guys, there really is a 'sotong' tyre. I saw "TT Sotong" marked on a capalang brand the other day. No kidding.

I know most of the stripes are slippery after rain. I normally ride damn slow when the road is wet, hahaha.
but I drive fast on wet road, like to hear the tyre skidding sound

bro..just want to ask ur opinions la kan...i use both front and rear tyre duro 90/80 in size...i need ur comment to know whether it is appropriate or not for me to use that size of tyre on my lc...???

be careful with that stripes bro. my friend already down because of them. luckily he woke up fast and run to the road side, if not I think he would gone forever



nice explainations there bro, well done

one more thing, is it true bout the bigger tyres and their compunds thingy?

anyway, that TT Sotong is not a joke

i've seen couple of dual-compound tyres after use, and esp obvious on the Supercosa. The mid portion with the hard compound is worn like normal tyre; but the sides, made of softer compound, looks like melted rubber and it's worn out as much as the mid portion, all the way to the edge of the crown.
Our normal tyre would flat out at the mid portion after use.

Evo1288: IMO your tyre on stock rim ok. Already wider than stock tires, right?

Can anyone tell me which bike is better 135lc or 125z considering all the facts, normal ride, for speeding, smoothness, cost of maintaining and many more, with a conclusion.
i'm asking this bcoz my fren will buy one of it and if he decided to buy 125z, what should i do to prevent 125z from tapau my LC(standard, only installed CDI) can reach 160kph less than 1min)..

Wow what a big request u wan =.=" i guess if standard LC modi it wont reach 160 in less then 1 min..and i bet standard 125zr also cant do so..and for u notice 125zr is pickup type since its 2 stroke.and LC is ending type since its 4 stroke + liquid cooled..if u race a long highway with ur friend..i bet ur LC and win 125zr..


Thats my opinion..Correct me if im wrong

Front 70/90 is enough, unless you have racing footrest. Else you cant really fully utilize the sides of your tyre.
70/90 pair with 90/80.
80/80 pair with 100/80.


Dunlop TT only has one compound, very fast the middle kong liao. Duro Racing I dont know. The grip is quite good, but the center is hard to finish. Michelin dunno yet, need to use longer only know the effect.



If highway run 100km LC can win la. but on normal road, 125Z for the win, LC has no chance.
Unless you mod like me, 160cc, port and polish, racing valve, 28mm carb, 250 deg camshaft, after market exhaust, remove air filter...... a long long list to go. Like that only can match 125Z pickup and top speed, hahaha.

as a former 125z owner i would like share opinion.. LC135 is totally a non-match for 125z in terms of performance which includes both pikup n top speed even if both are stock bikes.. but in terms long distance riding and maintainance, my vote is for LC.. liquid-cooled, no need to fill 2T oil, no need to worry about 'jem panas' and bonus is LC's lower fuel consumption... so ask ur fren to make up his mind based on riding style and 'pocket depth'.. in terms of security, both bikes are top of thieve's wishlist..

Last tried combination of 70/90F pair with 90/80 to tackle simpang pulai downhill, it is quite good, gripped well and stable, a bit understeered but controllable.

Last time my setup with 58.5mm block+racing cam+24mm carb also can get even with 125z in acceleration. I can only manage to follow him, but not overtake....

yeah, high speed is good to have slight understeer. We can open the throttle more.
consecutive corners (fr tapah to cameron highland that kind), 80/80 + 90/80 is recommended, else its a bit hard to control.

I have not tried with 125Z these days. Usually ppl riding stock 125Z is slow on normal road. Only modded + rempit riders will go fast. That one I cannot fight, hahaha.

I hate consecutive corner, im using F:70/90 R:80/90 go up hill to Air Itam Dam, walao nearly every corner going to ''char'' the road side dam geli ler... And i found out my frens EX5 and Revo is much more faster during up hill.. Why??

Slower bikes usually have better torque to climb hill...

alexei, wats the bore size and stroke of tzm?

train your skill

EX5 is damn poor in uphill la. If not I oso won't sell and get a 135LC.

59x54 compression ratio 6:1.

bizzy: read up on countersteering, i think this is what you need.
