Are_keem: thanks for doing this...
supporter reporting in.

saran: only kapcai carb have the 2T inlet. Bigger bikes like TZM KIPS don't have. I'd suggest getting a rubber cap and glue it shut to make sure no water gets in.

saran: just smack it in. with that mod, you will wanna rich the mixture a bit. As long as the air and idling screws are ok, it should be fine. looks like a keihin?

saran bro, I dunno what to to check on camshaft.
AFAIK, if we have the blueprint to the camshaft, such as the dimensions so we can measure it, for one. When put back to engine head assy, make sure use torque wrench. Can ask Yamaha service center what's the torque to tighten that. Check clearance to the valves, etc...

Can the TPS be removed and separately connected to the throttle cable and CDI while using aftermarket carbs?

Thanks to reply on TPS.
Charge: got pipes for 2-strokes?

Zeus website, but doesn't seem to have 606 model...

webbikeworld has mixed but mostly positive review on an older 5 series modular helmet... I'd say this brand has made it global.

ARC helmets: There are two models, the Discovery and another one I think is called Pilot. Only the Discovery is made of fibre glass (or maybe the Pilot, whichever is more expensive).

RM140 is cheap tho.

I remember I did a research when looking for helmet. RM130 on mudah.my about half a year ago. The seller told me got SIRIM, with fixed liner and he told me is 'ARAI ciplak'. I found them in store penang for about the same price...

daush12: you ask your friend loh...

serigala: I see. thanks. That makes the RR4 even more worth considering.

UncleCheang: I found it at the row of bike shop outside BJ complex near to the Perodua showroom one. Hope this helps.

Mind you, this helmet also famous kena 'potong' one... Well, generally brand new helmet lah... I bought a bike last time, sold the free helmet to a fren, white color... got stolen within that week.

Charge: Can tell us, what's the sign of piston-rod gone case?

Can we just ignore the fella? Maybe this poor kid's mama don't let him ride bike leh?
I hope everyone come in the LYN forums has something useful to say.

joehunt: Can raise the bike on double stand and roll the wheels? Can you tell if the chicky sound repeat as fast as the wheel spin, or similar speed to some other parts of the bike?

kinozawa: where to access RMC?

Ok, I found RMC website. It looks new and has about 50 members.

joehunt: that avatar is generated at nokia website. It's a standard 2D barcode. BB should be able to read it too.
That rubbery thing, AFAIK, is hard plastic shud not make squeaky noise. I'm thinking it may be the brakes, either front disc or rear drum. Good luck with that.

I think I'd use older engine oil for my LC, if I have one. API-SG, instead of API-SM.

Another thing to note, is that the Shell Rimula X, is API CH-4/CG-4/ CF-4/CF1,2. (Shell PDF result from Google)
This corresponds to API SJ (CH is SJ equivalent) and below.

I've mentioned this before, mainly concerned for the camshaft used in LC engine. In this case, it may apply to conrod bearing too.
Critics to my opinions are welcomed.

My experience tells me, that bearing is one of the fastest to go, being the first contact point from the piston. When that goes, so does the conrod. When the conrod goes, so does the main bearing...
When Charge mentioned his engine got noise, that's what i thought at first.



Wiki:
Motor oil
Ball bearings
Notice the major brand mentioned in the Wiki page - SKF.

charge: I fancy having racing parts on my bike but not for daily use. I'm a lazy man now, try to use original parts as much as possible... my recommendations on the engine oil, and bearings are mainly for daily use with better reliability.

Charge, 170??? makes me wanna mod my bike too... now only 130-140...
any modded 4stroke can outrun me: EX5, Kriss, Lagenda, LC...

Guess what, long time didn't ride my bike liao... I forgot my plate number.

Quick poll, gathering TT in May?

Added on March 25, 2010, 5:11 amI think LC is the most expensive bike among all kapcai. So, riding one is like driving a Mercedes among cars... some, just let the thrill of speed overwhelm them...

me and my frens are still 2-stroke old schools... maybe someday we'll turn to the dark side and ride a 4-stroke.

Note: 'dark-side' is just a matter of perspective. No offense to anyone here..

charge: I'll only be back to PG in May...
I can relate the dislike for the smoke. Would you be upgrading carb to 28mm? Or recommend any shop for 26-28mm carbs?

bro saran: can you intro places for 2stroke spare parts?

For the Proarm mod, maybe bro Alcalie can tell us what to do? Any extra welding on the chassis for reinforcement? Of course, if can share good kangtow for legit spare parts, we'd be glad...

Are_keem: Can you get in touch with Alcalie while we're at it?
