oh OK2 next size will be 90/80 for my rear 2.5 rim brows.gif

I think can go 80/80.
90/80 will start getting expensive, and you'll still get squared wear pattern.

My 80/80 on 1.8 has contact patch of middle 1/3, with 2/3 of left right untouched. With corner wear, another 1/3 of the tread. So, 1/3 closest to the rim is not used...

when change the tyre, is it recommended to change both tyre or it doesnt mind?
because i change the rear tyre only ast week as thread already worn out compare to front tyre

Depends what kind of person you ask.

For me - Put new in front, old put at back, botak throw.
Which is why I use same tyre size on both front and rear. 80/80

Noob question here. How u guys lc135 & y15 users bring your raincoat when riding your bike? I know that those who installed givibox have no problem to bring raincoat & other stuff, but how about for those who dont have one, or will never install one?

Put in the bakul perhaps? but then your bakul will be full by the raincoat itself, cannot put other things like groceries..

I'm interested to get lc135 but a bit worried about this tiny issue especially during this rainy season.. I'm so used to having underseat compartment like honda wave kapcai, which easily u can put your raincoat though..  sweat.gif
*
I think the black one piece type, fold into a square, just squeeze under the seat. Or, put in the front basket between legs.

not sure about how accurate the apps is... but location accuracy can be improved by activating high-accuracy option in phone settings, GPS will be accurate typically within 5 meters range.

Do you mostly ride highway? I noticed your fuelly data is good.

Just bought myself a used lc v1 standard, just for motor backup, and.. just for fun  tongue.gif  I did some restorations since the bike is kinda old & many things nearly broken except for the engine (since the engine is still quiet).  I've done the essential fixes to my bike (air filter, bulb, master pump, switches & meter replacement)

The bike's performance is still okay but the only thing that bothers me the most is the fuel consumption.. I only managed to get 9x km-ish full tank with the standard ratio sprocket. I did manage to get 13x km something full tank before with the rear sprocket size of 33, the size when I got the bike from the shop, which later I changed to standard size which is 39.. as part of my restoration process.

Is that consider normal for 10 years old lc v1 to have such lousy fuel consumption?  sad.gif  I've read around that lc135 standard should be able to get around 140 to 150 km full tank..

Should I service the carb or buy a new carb, or is there anything else that I should do?  icon_question.gif

I also have a plan to change the carb to fi somewhere next year, given if I got the budget.  tongue.gif ( there are two available brands for such conversion; Apitech conversion fi for lc or Fuel Gain Kit - retrofit efi..)

Welcome to the club.
Learn to set the carb first. Just minor adjusting pilot screw will make a difference.

This is what I am experiencing now. I suspect it could be caused by worn out hub rubber, I've already replaced the rubber but it seems that damage has already been done.
My question now, is it safe to just change just the chain without changing the sprockets as both front & rear sprocket is not worn out yet. Or should I just play it safe and change the whole sprocket & chain set  cry.gif .
*
Pull like this photo, if the chain can be lifted, change it.

For sprockets, look at the spikes where the chain contact. It should still shape like arrow head, instead of sharp and pointed.

For chains, look for O-ring.
RK 428 KLO about RM90.
The chain like is worth the money.

Other than difference in wheel diameter, traction and center wear, I just choose the one within my budget with best rubber quality.

Rubber quality comes first, then is size. That's how I picked R26 80/80.

For standard lc,  which carb is the most fuel efficient? V1 or v2/v3/v4? I want to restore my lc v1 carb system since it is kuat minyak now, lazy to do carb service since nobody wants to offer such service to me,  (tired of asking around & no shop or pomen seemed to be interested to do carb service)  hence  I decided to get a new carb directly, malas nk pening kepala lagi now..  sweat.gif
*
Pusing the fuel screw only...
New carb also won't last very long if you refuse to set a carb yourself.

Yeah..  I know,  I did ask some pomen at several Kedai motor,  to do carb service &  do what u had suggested for my bike,  but non seemed to be interested to do that for me.. This one pomen even suggested me to change cdi,  which is wayy off
from my actual issue. What..?  I just own lc not even 2 months yet,  I'm not familiar at all with lc.  And I can't afford  to learn all the tips & tricks that easily,  with me busy with work & family stuff.. I guess I will just let it be then until the carb got prob by itself. Luckily  that lc is just my backup bike, not my daily ride..

Once you figured out the fuel screw, you would need a torchlight and a long screwdriver.
A bit tricky to reach.
Just a 1/8 of a turn at a time is all it takes. Test ride, and see if you can feel the difference.

For LC carb, the more you turn out the fuel screw, the richer it is for pilot jet.
This affects 1/4 throttle opening and below, and then it feeds the carb all the remaining throttle opening at the constant rate.
The effect is quite significant, from my experience.

Nowadays, foreman also lazy to service carb. I am sorry to hear that.
Moving to the future, with all bikes coming to injection, everything will be replaced if failed.

For LC135, is it better to use RKM standard chain or RKM O-ring?
*
standard chain is lighter, less durable, requires more oiling.
- as it is used, it stretches and wears the sprockets together, gradually over time.

O-ring chain is heavier, with the locked in grease makes it more durable, less oiling required.
- the roller section will need additional oiling

Guys, Is there any difference between 14-41T & 15-44T? As in the table the ratio of them both are the same. There's one workshop offer a package of o ring chain with 15-44T, like is there will be any different power output whether 15 or 14 at the front?
*
Same ratio, same output.
Bigger sprocket, longer chain lifespan, but slower acceleration because of heavier rotational mass.

last Tuesday 30/04/2019 when I was on my way home, my lc rear left bearing finally decided to 'failed' after 85,334km of usage. luckily I was doing 80-90kmh only (relax2 balik kerja) and riding at left most lane along mrr2.

no choice so I had to ride it below 10kmh then 'tolak' until finally rear tyre stucked couldn't rotate anymore. 1st got a guy riding an LC want to help but after he 'look and see', he suggested to call pickup/ lorry.

then another guy on a Honda cub stopped by and this guy really 'die-die' wanted to help. after few adjustments he then pushed my bike side by side for about 3km until we reached to a workshop. his name is Hafiz, thanks again.
