Guys...which is better, shop loan or aeon credit?
Seems like shop loan i need to pay high d/p while aeon just 2k
but monthly is not really much different. except aeon can do 4years and shop only 3years max

What kind of question is this? Take out the calculator and figure it out lar. doh.gif

But rule of thumb is to pay as little interest as possible. This probably means taking the more painful choice which is to pay higher d/p and shorter loan term.

I suppose 17% U suggested is positive error right?

I believe it's not only Yamaha, I believe most of the locally manufactured motobikes r having a very high percentage error on their speedometer read-out. I had the EX5 Class and the 125Z, noticed tht both r having positive error on the speedometer but the 125Z is rediculously high and I totally agree with Ur suggestion on Yamaha, their speedometers r having positive error a way too high than the other local manufacturers.

I guess this is probably 1 kindda of their makerting strategies, assuming many hv riden their bikes and got "cheated" by the speedometer, well I'm sorry to say "cheated" here, subsequently, they will inform the other non Yamaha riders saying tht Yamaha bike is fast n thus convincing them to buy a Yamaha. Well, this is juz an assumption, I might be wrong but I was cheated by their speedometer too.

As for the LC135, I don't think it can goes faster than 130km/h in stock condition even it's riden in a so called ala-racing style. I was once driving my car at the speed of 130km/h on Pantai Timur Expressway going bec 2 K.L. n met this LC135 n was riden in ala-racing style, so I "invited" him but I later found out tht is the fastest he can goes, I would say the speed of the bike was abt 120 +-5km/h due to my car has positive speedometer error too.

Kindda curious y they called this model as "supersport" as it's only a SOHC bike with the output of lower than 15 horses even lower than the FX125 and Nova Sonic 125.

I wanted to do it but mine has got no removable silencer  cry.gif

Actually vat is the reason of removing the silencer frm the exhaust system instead of changing the entire exhaust system?

My mistake. It's not about removing the silencer. Usually they upgrade(?) to a new pipe that does not have a silencer.

It seems like all or most of the after market exhaust piping systems for locally manufactured motobikes are made without proper back pressure calculations huh.

Most of those I guess r frm abeng or akau workshops or machine shops I guess.

I was riding a 5BU1 (125Z) but no longer is, but there is a rarely used NF100 (EX5 Class) parked at the car pouch, only using it whenever going for some groceries shopping.

Yoshimura is mostly for Suzuki bikes and the Raider 150 too has the Yoshimura whole muffler as an optional replacement. The 1 for Shogun 125, I've no idea, can share with us here?

I was told by S.E.A. motocycle sparepart store that Polini does custom make exhaust but I guess in order for them to calculate the appropriate exhaust dimension and the back pressure it can reduce, they need as many details they can to customize it for U, the best would be send Ur engine or whole bike to them lo.

Can't really imaging how much would be the shipping charges alone.

Can U suggest me any non Abeng or Akau made exhaust for the NF100?

can u post a review? thanks

sorry for missing your reply,hahaha

alright,after using the madass 125 for about 3 month now,all i say so far,its quite reliable,for town riding its suites me perfectly,haha

but the topspeed is very slow tho,around 100kmh only,hahaha

for fuel consumption its quite saving because you cant ride it fastly hahaha

its pretty rare in malaysia but sooner or later,more people are going to use this bike,my belief la!

do u plan to keep the rxz, or totally convert to 4stroke?

4stroke easy jaga, just change 4T.
But if you're used to riding comfortably at 120-130kph, and you ride the 4stroke also that speed, they won't last very long also...

if talk overhaul maintenance, 2stroke cheaper...
takde oil filter, engine head, valve, tapet, cam gear, cam chain semua tu...

Do U want to be more specify which type of 4-Stroke? The single 650 or twin 1litre bikes can last very long eventhough riding above 150kM/h.

Is it bcoz of underbone bikes having high reduction ratio transmission thus engine running at high speed most of the time hence effecting the durability of the engine?
