thanks for your feedback
all my previous rear tires 100/70 or 100/80 tread wear only at center because roads to my workplace are 95% straight only... not fully utilize at the side of tire and i am planning to downgrade and buy from Shopee sales tomorrow either:
1.4 & 1.6 RM173 (RM185 - RM12 discount)
1.6 & 1.85 RM215
still using the standard 1.6 & 2.5 with 70/80 & 100/70

You have 3 sets of rims?

All kapcai tyres will 'square' in the middle, just some worse than others. Maxxis Volans has dual compound so it's less issue there, but will still happen.

What tyres are you looking to get? I'm using Corsa R26 80/80, Volans 80/90.

I am still using the factory rim 1.6 & 2.5 with 70/80 & 100/70 Timsun TS-692.

I am thinking to get a new set of rim either 1.4 & 1.6 or 1.6 & 1.85 on tomorrow Shopee sales

front 70/80 Timsun still OK but rear 100/70 Timsun not very good already. I am getting a new Timsun 90/80 or 80/90 for the rear

Oh, Timsun. The rear 2.5 can use 90/80 right? Or you really want to change rims?

should be OK use 90/80 on 2.5 I guess... haih thinking to get a new look for my LC also but if I just use the original can save money current rear 100/70 already clocked 33k km while front 70/80 clocked 25k km

aiseh, very tahan lo.

so far this Timsun served me good. previously using Duro which come with my LC tahan 26k, Corsa sports rain 28k and this Timsun 33k. I ride straight with uncle uncle speed only

Mine 8~10k change.

what rim & tire size you're using? 10k seems not even a year old?

if I want to downgrade to a new rim 1.4 front & 1.6 rear, can use back the LC 5s speedometer & speedometer cable? or need to change to 125z speedometer & speedometer cable?

I think it's 1.6/1.85. 80/80 front rear at first.
Then, switched the 80/80 rear to front, and take Volans 80/90 front from another bike and put to rear.

I'm not sure.

Does Lowyat have used motorcycle parts for sale section? I have quite a lot of Y15 original parts that i wish to let go.
Btw.. received my bike last week and proceed changing few items.. lol

thats rcb sp550?

Hello, welcome to the group.
AFAIK, don't have. Post in mudah or fb I think.

after change to a new racing CDI like SCK/ BRT/ Aji Racing/ MB/ BRT etc, do we have to adjust carb. fuel/ air screws? I read lots of comments from FB said that change CDI is just PnP, while some said need to tune back carb.?

Yes and no. CDI need to match the intake and exhaust, and so does the carb jetting - for optimum setting, not just full power or economy.

For daily use, if the CDI doesn't affect the smoothness of the ride, just pay attention to the plug after you put in the CDI. Suggest you keep the old plug, change new plug with CDI so can always refer to previous setup.

looks like it's not really plug and play... thank you

hi guys. noticed my 2 years+ old LC v4 engine sound a bit rough. does anyone have any idea whats the cause? i change my EO and filter almost every month (because i travel long distance almost everyday).

Hi.. Just to ask if anyone here uses LC V4/5? with matte black color scheme? I bought myself some new cover set to replace my old and aging LC135 v2 set.. Now that the set has arrived, since the set does not came with 2k clear what clear type you guys have used? Coz for that set, there are 2 color matte black and normal shiny black.. So now am wondering which type of clear best suited for this, normal or matte clear since I really dont want to screw up my new parts.. Thanks in advance

Yeah.. i prefer the 550 instead of 522 which is the musim nowdays.

Btw.. i change both tyres also. Using Timsun now. I want to know which tyre pressure should i follow. The pressure that printed on the tyre side or still follow the factory/manual recommendation? Manual say 22.5 while the tyre say 30...lol

Thanks
