in KL eh... hmm.. so troublesome... there got alot of TZMs right? u shld try ard ur area first lah..

I will be heading down south sometime next week. Would be great if we could meet.

 

To find stuff in KL is rather hard. People here aren't really that organized anyway. Majority of chinese here don't go for bikes. even if they do it's ex5 or they just leave everything to the mech.

 

Malays here love RXZ. Every Fri, Sat night you see them in a huge group in KL itself.

 

I don't want to do any illegal modifications. Just want to learn how my machine works. That's all.

 

I've tried many forums and websites. Even bookstores but to no avail.

Opt for Bridgestone Battlax. BT-39 Front 50/60, BT-090 rear 110/70 radial.

Ok.. btw.. what does 50/60 mean?

bravo supafly, for the wonderful theories abt out dear Magneto fren.

 

wanna learn how a tzm work? first learn abt the fundamentals of 2-stroke combustion, the compression & combustion strokes. then learn about carburetor fundamentals, the 4 different valves/jets working together with throttle positions. then learn abt the autolube system, why do u need 2T for a stroker? once u've done that, u'll be familiar with terms such as slide valve, jet needle, needle jet, clip positions, choke circuit, pilot & main jet, carb float & float bowl, float height, cylinder, conrod, crankshaft, bearings, crankcase etc...

 

tyre config? man nocturnized, 50/60 for front is way too small. a cub uses 70/70 for heaven's sake. x/y -> x represents width of tyre, y represents sidewall height. smaller the y, deeper u can corner. bigger the x, steering is affected. stock tzm is 90/80 front n 110/80 rear. most riders experience smoother cornering just by changing the rear to 120/60. but such tyres, mostly BT-010 or 090, do wear out fast. BT-39 is the most durable among bridgestone line of sport tyres. i'm personally using 90/80 front & 110/70 rear.

oh ya laa.. hehe should be 90/80. Thx for pointing that out !

For those using 120/60, i'm not too sure if can really use the tyres up till the very side end ?

Thanks for the tip bro..

Very detailed explanation on the tyres. Will keep that in mind.

 

Another question though, how much can I lean with the bike say if I have them 90/80 front and 110/70 rear? Since you've used it, I thought maybe you can give me some insight.

wow that's low.. doubt i would go that low.. hehe.. scared lar.. had a few crashes before.. but not on this bike..

 

I also realize that I'm more confident when it comes to left corners than right.. but also that depends on how confident that day when I am driving..

Can scrap till ur footrest feelers lar. But be mindful of the road conditions also. Be careful of sand and wet road surface. Other than that, can always try how low u can corner by going to the track. Thats the safest place to try out and practisinc your cornerings.

salam sejahtera my frens. question wanna ask.

 

just drained my EO just now. EO nvr looked like EO. More like sewage water. Could it be oil seal broke and coolant seeping thru? cos ive seen if coolant seep thru the color becomes like milk. This is more like sewage milk water. Rather sewage water. Anyway ive changed to rockoil EO but too over ah. more den half. Abit like 3/4 over the circle shaped thing. Feels abit heavy. Infact it feels HEAVY. Is it safe meanwhile or shud i try and drain off a lil? thanx!!
