wevilli reporting in too.. haha...

yes it is true.. but it can be solved. After that no problem ! Just send it to the shop. Go to shop like Sentul because they already know what need to be done.

Some shops dont know what is wrong with the radiator. Best is go Sentul.

some shops should know.... you should ask around and see..

but i use 35W/35W halogen in my original head lamp no problem also.. wont melt.... only if i used it on those cyristal headlamp that just cost RM 16 will melt.

sorry been quite busy lately.. with my dissertation.


how come the rod can be out of balance ? That bike is Modenas Kriss II. Normally if you dont do anything with the rod / crankshaft the thing wont out of balance. Even if you bore the block or change bigger ones... wont harm the rod.

OK.... maybe it is just the screw area is not center. Because you dint use the special tool to open the nut ?
Dont worry.. if it is just the crew area that is not balance it is ok... you can check.. move the crankshaft by holding and moving the rod itself ( front and back ) then observe the main part only.. not the screw part.
Should be fine ...

*Dont worry... most of the time i found out that only the screw area is un-balanced only.

by the look at the place... it seems that you are in a motorshop. Look at those holes on the floor.

Added on September 29, 2007, 4:49 pmDefinately all bikes have battery. Actually you dont need to charge the battery after long time no use. Motorbikes other than superbikes dont need battery to start. The battery are for the signals. Some bikes do have electric starter but then he/she can still use the kickstarter to start the engine.

After using the bike for few kilometers.. the battery should be ok. Normally if you put your motor for months also.. the water wont dry up... unless you really dint check the battery for years.

it depends on your things/product. Normally it will come near to RM 250 + -

how bad is your bike ? change piston + rings = RM 40... valve seal RM 30 (Japan) , valve ( condition ok or not ?RM35) , timming chain RM 35, rebore block RM 20, Workmanship ( RM 35 ? i dont know.. i do myseft) , gaskets RM 12, timming gears one set 3 pieces ( RM 50 ++ ) , lubricant 4T RM 12 ?... after rebore.. dont use sync oil. use mineral oil for the block and piston to set in.

hymn... RM 60 is normal price. Fine with the price. Since the bike is open already... i think better to do balancing. But have to open the whole engine... from engine head , block and the gearbox.

How you see the thing is not balance ? if the screw there is not balance doesnt mean that the crankshaft is not balanced. I have open few bikes that have the same problem. When i check... most of it is only the screw, because some machanic uses screw driver to bang out the screw on the auto-clutch. They dont use special tools. That why some of it will result as such case.

Is your rod in good shape ? because since opening.. you might want to change it. One shot finish fixing everything internal.

Added on September 30, 2007, 1:14 amWhat i have experienced from 2T bikes is , when the bike is new ( brand new bike).... fuel and 2T comsumption is high. After breaking in..... you will notice that fuel comsumption will be lesser. I wont recommend you to use cheap mineral oil. It is a bit different between 2 stroke & 4 stoke bike. But both also need the piston ring to set in. Use motul

ook.... people do get wrong perception on this !

If you read automobile book... they stated that every new engine cannot rev more than 80% of total speed.

so.. why people say go only 80 km/j because that theory from Honda Ex5 --> top speed 100km/j so .. 80% is 80km/j


but if you refer to this.. they mention different method of break-in... http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm

one thing they did mention that " DonT use Synthetic Oil also "

THIS THEORY I COPY AND PASTE FROM THE SITE

On the Street:
Warm the engine up completely:
Because of the wind resistance, you don't need to use higher gears like you would on a dyno machine. The main thing is to load the engine by opening the throttle hard in 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear.

Realistically, you won't be able to do full throttle runs even in 2nd gear on most bikes without exceeding 65 mph / 104 kph. The best method is to alternate between short bursts of hard acceleration and deceleration. You don't have to go over 65 mph / 104 kph to properly load the rings. Also, make sure that you're not being followed by another bike or car when you decelerate, most drivers won't expect that you'll suddenly slow down, and we don't want
anyone to get hit from behind !!

The biggest problem with breaking your engine in on the street (besides police) is if you ride the bike on the freeway (too little throttle = not enough pressure on the rings) or if you get stuck in slow city traffic. For the first 200 miles or so, get out into the country where you can vary the speed more
and run it through the gears !

Be Safe On The Street !
Watch your speed ! When you're not used to the handling of a new vehicle, you should accelerate only on the straightaways, then slow down extra early for the turns. Remember that both hard acceleration and hard engine braking (deceleration) are equally important during the break in process.

please do check the plug cable & the plug head. It might be wet. After drying it.. should be fine.

you need suggestion like what ? you can either use SS2.. or Lagenda or.. others Honda hurricane also can !

I thought in V2 got discuss this matter before ?

If got block ... comfirm your motor will get "tahan"

pricing ? you can get your bike done within RM 350. (mostly China products intalled)

yup... definately will get tahan ! My experience was... i wasnt on disk brake that time but my engine is not standart with 'ekzos potong' , i got through.... but other people with standard configuration with disk brake in front was block. I manage to watch it while i show my IC and driving license. I think depends on Police also or operation.

sure will get tahan le... where got EX5 got disk brake ? police sure block u if u put disc brake at front coz they know the motor in stock DONT have disc brake la.

The disk will mulfunction when there is air inside. And dont use cheap hydraulic oil.

wow... nice...

i have seen and used good quality gaskets... what i notice is the quality is better... the material is good. It is not paper type nor rubber.... it is 50/50... resulting no leakage.

High cam for more intake to go in the combustion chamber. Valve open bigger and more fuel.

Added on October 5, 2007, 7:49 pmyup... correct... the highest is No.6... the lowest is No. 3 if not mistaken. The higher the number the more opening to your valve.

ok... you need a adapter to change the angle of the position... you go YY Pang or any shop in sentul might have. It is round and have many holes ... for you to chanage position of the manifold so that you can face the caburator where you wish. So look around ... sorry.. cant take picture and show you. Just mention adaptor to change manifold location in spare part shop... they might know... if not.. you go YY Pang shop.

Added on October 9, 2007, 4:18 pm1st of all.. you must understand the concept of turbo. It is not changing gear only have the blowof sound. The sound comes when there is extra compressed air from the turbine to the intake. So in between there is blow-off valve so release this pressure.

I dont think you can fix it. haha... maybe in the future people come out with electronic gadget that can produce this kind of sound... but for me... what for ? people see nice.. but no power one... it is a disgrace. As for me... quiet bike with low profile can go fast... people will be shocked

Added on October 9, 2007, 4:22 pmok... this normally happen. It is not your clutch problem. It is your auto-clutch. that is the part that make your bike move. Clutch is only a 'pause' for you to change your gears when the engine is on the move.

But it is good to change it also since you are opening the engine. the plates will cost around RM 10 per-piece. Kawasaki parts are abit expensive. you need 4 plates. Auto-plate will cost you around RM 80 ( T.A.A brand)
workmanship around RM 40... so in total you need around RM 200 ( rough estimation only- better to have more than less on that day)

nop... it is in Sri Muda, Shah Alam

the shop basically sell racing products that can get in sentul. Only thing that YY Pang display most of the stuff inoder for customer to view it. But of course the things there are much more expensive than what you can get in sentul.
One thing is that they have wide range of exhaust system for most bikes. But sadly those pipes are for racing use only not highway use.

It is good just to go there and check it out. I really interested in Keihin FCR carburator that he is selling. VERY expensive ..out of budget. It is around RM 1.5 K

me toooooooooo..... i miss riding so so much

yes the shop is called 'Y.Y. Pang'

ok... when you coming from shah alam... then you will find the round-about... then go straight (12 o'clock)... you will see allot of shops on the left... then you can see bus station like that... allot of buses and people. then go straight again you will see a another roundabout. Go straight (12 o'clock) then you will see allot of shophlots on the left. YOu will see allot of motorshops there. Then you will see his shop is there !

it is not big...and it is not that small too... it is not facing the main road... but once you reach there.. you can see YY pang shops once you go in those 'lorong'. I not sure where is GT Max. never hear before le... sorry
