Im sure this topic already been raised up before but can I know what is the best/ secured lock that can be used for LC?
*
Nobody knows for sure, Xena 2 with alarm used to be highly recommended.
To me, a decent chain with padlock, locking up both the wheels to the fork and swingarm is the best.

Just bear in mind, a lock can only be deterrent to a thief. Use some common sense how to apply the lock.

Here are some of the things they could do to mess with your bike:
- Rim and fork lock - Low. Too many weak link, so IMO it is not secure.
- Disc lock - Moderate. Thief can remove your rim, open the disc, and put back the rim and ride off. Cheap locks are not stainless mechanism, so after a while, the key mechanism will jam inside and cannot be opened.
- Standard steering lock with magnet cover - Moderate. Can be dismantled, or break open by force. In some cases, the steering head will loosen first before the lock is broken. So, in case your bike kena langgar, check the steering lock for cracks and have it replaced.
- Rear sprocket padlock or disc lock - More secure than putting the disc lock at front disc, but can be messy due to chain oil.
- Long chain with padlock securing the bike to a pillar or something - Must have good padlock. More secure, but troublesome and can scratch coverset.
- Bicycle lock - Cheap one can open with hammer.
- Immobilizer - some add on electronics to guard your bike from unwanted ignition. Can simply DIY and hidden switch to the battery terminal or the CDI. Make sure wiring is installed correctly. No alarm is better, otherwise the thief will know your bike got alarm, and prepare for it.

For a good padlock, prepare to spend RM50+ each.
If the padlock is RM50 for 2 or 3, it is for hiasan, and will not stand a chance.

What about double stand lock?
*
I wanted to add that, but wasn't sure if LC has that. Does it?

IMO, I would say, it will be as good as the lock used. Double stand lock is troublesome to attach, since everytime you need to squat down to reach below the bike, but it is even more troublesome for a thief trying to break it. However, a thief can try to pry it open, but if the lock can withstand it, the lock ring would bend first.

What you think, bro?

Only LC V1 has double stand lock, but not V2. Not sure why they remove it then yawn.gif

I remembered last time when I left my bike at hostel during one week break, I did lock the double stand using those cheapo Globe brand lock. After coming back from holiday, I noticed that it seemed somebody tried to push/move my bike since the lock's ring is bent. So I would say double stand lock is quite reliable, plus using three circle brand lock also recommended thumbup.gif

Good for you. And yeah, that's exactly how I imagined it.

The manual didnt provide the wiring diagram. It only state that connect the blue to ignition and red to ignition coil. So far just donno where the ignition coil is now so the rpm feature still not available haha.

Then you need to find the wiring diagram for LC and figure out the ignition coil wire.

how bout the original yamaha ES rear disc brake, got any shop selling outside? and how much?

You'll need to pay for some extra stuff, like footrest modification and labor charges.
I'm guessing a ballpark of RM300~500.

Parts you'll need: Rim, disc, brake pump, brake hose, reservoir, brake fluid, brake pads.
Mods you'll need: Swing arm for caliper mount, footrest for brake pump, brake reservoir mount.

Make sure when you sit on it, there is free play with the chain.

radiohearBuy what you like. Would you regret more if you have chosen another color, but still wished you have taken the white instead?

yes. i know that. this is why i'm asking here. hope you guys can help me to find perfect setting for mikuni bs25 carburetor.

Stupid BS carbs...

Tips for you:
Close the pilot screw, and open 2.5 turns.
The bike will run very poorly, or not at all, without the airbox installed. The airbox also needs to be properly sealed, so consider replacing any deteriorated foam seals as needed.
If pod air filters are installed the carbs will have to be rejetted to match the low restriction airflow.
Fine tune the carbs (engine fully warmed up and idling) by adjust the pilot screws in roughly equal amounts until the highest idle speed is achieved. If the engine speed doesn’t respond to this tweak, leave them at 2.5 turns.
If the engine stumbles just off idle, try opening the pilot screws another ½ turn and try again.
The maximum number of open turns is four, otherwise you should get larger pilot jets.
If the engine surges or feels like it’s running outof gas when cruising at steady speed, such as on the freeway, opening the pilot screw more and/orshimming the needles may help.

thanks for the tips!
i just know that screw which located near the intake manifold is FUEL screw. this mikuni bs25 is not for performance but i has good fuel consumption.
i just changed the stock paper air filter to a high flow K&N clone air filter. then i set the carburetor fuel mixture screw (this screw located near the intake manifold) to it's fully close position. i started the bike and set the carburetor idle to 2000-3000 RPM and open the fuel mixture by turning it counter clockwise until i hear the bike revving to it's maximum RPM. it is about 3.5 turns counter clockwise from the fully close position. after that, i added 1.5 more turns from the 3.5 turns position. means 5 turns out. im not sure if my setting now is lean or too lean or rich or too rich.
*
How good is your FC? Can you share?
Fuel screw means, the more you open, the more petrol.
For you, to open another 1.5 turn is too rich already. Normally, after you get the max RPM, is richen a little bit, that's even less than 1/8 turn.
For carb setting, even 1/8 a turn is considered sensitive. In my case, after setting done, I mark the pilot screw to check next time if setting go off.

QUOTE(lms2005 @ May 9 2014, 12:22 PM)
I also replaced with k&n usa, need setting again?
*
Yes, for BS carb, as it is sensitive to air filter change.

QUOTE(piju @ May 9 2014, 12:30 PM)
i also changed the stock exhaust to a 28mm manifold exhaust.
this is why i kacau the stock carburetor setting.
if we set the carburetor too lean, the engine will be easy to start on cold temperature, but the combustion chamber can be hotter so not suitable for long distance and it also not good for spark plug.
if we set the carburetor too rich, it will be hard to start on cold temperature because fuel is more than the air but good for long distance and also not good for spark plug.
i'm looking for balance between this 2 conditions.
waiting for bro alexei to answer the question.
*
For cold start, you need to richen the AFmix, that's why you have a choke. So, the bold parts in your quote is incorrect.

Rich and lean does affect the plug life, but that's not the right way of putting it, because when the plug already dead, most likely the engine, too. Practically speaking, it is the other way around: The plug has to be 'hot enough' to clean itself, and reading the plug can tell you if you are running rich or lean.

You change to 28mm manifold, and does it taper open? Or, is it 28mm all the way to silencer?
If it tapers open, better torque for low-mid RPM only, but if 28mm all the way, no torque at low RPM, peaky engine.

thanks bro for the detail explanations.

now i understand that choke means to richen the fuel mixture by choking the air.
so, my max RPM i can hear is starting from 3.5 turns and above until 6 turns. after that it will get low again since fuel is more than the air. is it the best for my FUEL SCREW setting is at 3.5 turns only ? not 5 turns ?
i need to know which is the optimal setting for my fuel screw with KNN air filter installed first, after that i will check my spark plug condition later.
BTW bro alexei, i am a little bit confuse here since some people said i need to set the idling engine at 1100-1550rpm before setting the fuel screw, and some said i need to put engine idling rpm to 2500-3500 rpm first before setting the fuel screw. which one is the best method for mikuni bs25 carburetor ?

bro alexei, about the exhaust, it was 28mm manifold with standard muffler same design as stock. better sound than stock exhaust. but not too loud
*
The fuel setting goes like this, lean -> ideal -> rich.
Only when over-rich it will bog down the engine, so, I would say start with 3.5 turn, and add another 1~2 minutes of a turn. This will only affect idle and 1/4th of the BS carb, which is something you can't tell. You will have to feel the engine response from off idle (slightly opening throttle) all the way to cruising speed.

Idling just need to set higher than normal during carb tune. If 2.5~3.5k RPM, that might reach the jet needle setting range already.
Once you get the pilot fuel screw correct, and notice cruising steady at quarter to half throttle is not good, then you adjust the jet needle.
After that, test half throttle to full throttle, look for flat spot, and adjust mainjet.

With the 28mm manifold, you might need to tune mainjet later. But, don't worry too much, figure out the pilot fuel screw first.

My RGV plug reads between 'good' to 'best' now. For a 2 stroke to read a clean plug like that, took me a long time.
Perhaps later I open it and have a look again, it's been a while.
My journey took me through setting the pilot air screw, dropping the jet needle, reducing mainjet twice, and set the pilot air screw again until satisfied.

Now, FC is city @ 170~180km, highway @ 280km per 4.9 liter petrol.

piju1~2 minutes of a turn, expressed like a clock face, a small amount of turn. Example, if 5 minutes would be like 1/12 of a turn.

Yes, experience the acceleration by slowly twisting the throttle. If there is a bog or hesitant, tune again... until satisfied.

NewGUYThat fuelly profile is you? I added as fuelly friend now. My RGV FC seems better, using 70/90 and 80/90 tyres.

Duro with biji on side? Is it like sisik? Maybe too new to me, haven't been looking at tyres lately. Can you share pics? There are 2 commonly good one, the HF-918 that looks like Battlax BT039, and Duro RS that looks like Michelin Pilot Power.

thanks bro,
now i understand that i need to tune my carb again.

i will close the fuel screw, open it to 3.5 turns and play around with 1~2 minutes turns.
maybe i need to open or close more or stay at 3.5 turns right bro alexei?
however, i need to set and play with the throttle first. different bikes and riders may comes with different result i think.

btw, bro. which is the best way to increase RPM ? is it by turning the idle screw or just twisting throttle using hand ?
*
Start again from 1 turn onwards, until the max RPM. Then, open another 2~3 minutes, just so slightly.
Idle RPM is adjusted with idle screw.
