How to take corners:


On wet asphalt, only brake and accellerate in a straight line, and stay off the oil strip.

Agak how much?

That's water-cooling mia maintenance.

2nd hand? I hope the bike is accident free lo...

pedobear1992 To me, RM250 consider big budget for tires. For me, it would be somewhere below RM200 for both front and rear.
70/90 front and 80/90 rear.

90/80 tires are much more expensive, if compared to the difference between 70/90 and 80/90.

For small rims, 100/80 can fit better than 100/70. Still not recommended since your main purpose is highway, and you want speed.

cold start need choke is normal... otherwise, why they give you choke? once engine warm up, then it will be smooth.

if no need choke, and bike can start normally, means a bit rich already.

also, if no need choke, then mikuni, keihin and all other carb makers are all wrong... since they put choke on a carb.

Yup, still on my RGV. Took it to KL Sepang for MotoGP months back.
Came back, change piston and ring set, RM50, did it myself using liquid gasket.

The bike does 180-200km daily ride per full tank, or about 280km on highway. Full tank is 4.5 liter, not yet touch reserve. Actual tank size is 5.3 liter. Need choke to start in the morning, for about 2 minutes.

I met a friend, Honda Future, also same thing, need choke to start, then need to let it idle for few minutes to warm up. Otherwise, pull throttle when engine is cold it will stall and turn off.

yeah, I use minyak sayur, less than 1 bottle since we travel less than 1200 km.

yeah, because after I change from minyak sayur to Shell VSX 2T, it caused the block to jam twice before the trip.
I wanted to change it before the trip, but found no time doing so...

yes. just don't use green one, cheapo, get red one, like those original OEM type for Toyota.
Make sure read the label about not mixing with others etc.

wah, how much?

paroys the workmanship nice? use solid mounting or glue/epoxy one?

I bought my bike and it no longer has its original headlamp.
After trying a few aftermarket headlamp, I gave up, and decided to install a projector lamp on the bike.

I chose a 2 inch long oval shaped reflector (the type that people put in the front bumper hole), it has a wide beam, no high light. It uses H3 bulb, which I can change to HID if I want. Unfortunately, HID will need re-wiring, and a stable current from a healthy battery all the time, which I simply prefer not to upkeep that way.

The projector came with 55W bulb, but I need a 35W. Took a while to find one by importing from US.
I used a metal ring strap to make a custom mounting, and installed it on the bike.
The end result is not as fancy, but so far so good.

Here is a shot.

saranjeevi
Thanks, I didn't know. But, yeah, looks like this one here:

It's ugly I know... you must be laughing very hard now.
Thanks for the compliments.

saranjeevi does it have a shroud? or just a bare projector in the front like mine. Looks not pretty eh?

LC5 stock is IRC.
Recommended tyres depends on your budget. Anything below RM100 does not have good wet grip, just be careful.

refer to the german coolant, and check for the main component and compare with stock LC one.
if they are similar chemical, should be mixable.

if those RM3~5 green color one, sure is ethlyne glycol, don't mix these up with expensive stuff.

how you 'tengok kat blok'? did you open the engine head after the installation just to check?
do you use new head gasket? with or without RTV gasket sealant?

yup.
