I replied you, and you did a full quote of my post, so I habitually removed it.
Is that ok?

Why not? As long as cooling system remains. If overheats, may just use bigger radiator.

Good headlamp should have the 'E' mark. Not sure any kapcai has it.
I personally like the idea of using 'E' marked lamp modified onto bike headlamp, with projector being the easiest.

On bulbs, the LC uses Krypton bulb, the Y15ZR uses H4 Halogen bulb if not mistaken.
There are halogen bulbs for LC, using the same socket type. OSRAM makes them if not mistaken.

So, unless you want to change bulb socket type, you don't have to change whole headlamp.

Not really, is the wattage that counts. Stick to 35W is fine.
Some ppl using H4, switched to 90W/100W bulb on Thailand headlamp... sure melt.

What headlamp? If local headlamp then no need to try de...
I'm referring to standard Japan headlamp like Koito vs HM thailand... with and without "E" mark. The quality is different.

Ok, then you should try Y15ZR reflector... it's H4.

The petrol u jimat, kasi beli tayar lebar.
Suggest you stick to LC135.

LC135 ES vs SS - similar feature, but ES using dual piston caliper and floating disc at the front. IINM, Y15ZR still using single piston caliper and don't have floating disc. Both LC135 models using carburator, and Krypton bulb among other things that makes it cheaper to maintain.

Y15ZR is a modern bike compared to LC135. Many things are different, and in terms of maintenance, it needs 1.15L engine oil, among other things.

Carburator vs fuel injection:
- carburator is easy to tune/set/replace, but may cause different bike behavior in different temperature. Can be set for peak power, or great fuel economy.
- FI works together with ECU, throttle position sensor, oxygen sensor and requires almost no maintenance. Stock setup cannot be tweaked. The engine response is affected by fuel map stored in the ECU, not sure how to override, and may need to replace stock ECU with programmable ones... think money.

razor_maxChain tensioner - if you don't see it on MotoGP bike, then it's probably not needed for us. Mostly used on motocross bikes where the rear end travels a lot, causing chain slack and unwanted implications.

ES have clutch, you'll learn to love 5-speed transmission.
SS no clutch, and 4-speed.

Floating disc can better compensate disc heating under hard braking.
Dual piston vs single piston caliper just allow you to upgrade to bigger master pump on the brake lever later on.
There is a pump to caliper ratio for good braking feedback, look for it... otherwise, if you don't think it matters, then it probably don't.

I think it's T5. Check the manual.

Consider O-ring.

HASHow old are you? Aeon bike loan is 0.77% per month, not per year.

Need to call them ask. Maybe the bike OTR price or some other hidden charges.
Suggest you take 4k, join invest somewhere, and use profit to pay the loan...

Welcome to the club.

Try YSS fully adjustable.

It seems the DB-Line is a better choice for near fully adjustable suspension - Preload, rebound and damping.
The S-line only preload and rebound.

Depending on design, but wouldn't you need different sets for front and rear?

I'm interested to know more, or follow, your project. Where will it be competing?

Do you mean, direct acting would mean require stronger chassis for the torsional requirements? I don't know a lot, but wouldn't the direct actuation, and the upper/lower arm negates the torsional effect on the chassis?

Bell crank and pushrod is more customizable, it seems, including the bell design for different motion linearity requirements. So to speak, the spring/absorber can be a much simpler type. Would you also need the monoshock data to run the analysis to the design?

No experience, just thinking out loud.
