i had posted on another thread, so i copied everything and pasted here for sharing.

 

as for the fc and other stuff ais still not known yet.

 

it's a 125cc with 16L fuel tank.with a digital speedo and 4 gear with a top speed of 90km/h.

 

the Sachs Madass is German made if i'm not wrong. But it's definitely not from Thailand that the Yamaha Fino comes from (no prejudice here); the Fino is essentially a thai version of the japanese version Vino.

 

it's only 4.6L tank impossible to be 16L. top speed should exceed 90km/h depending on rider, i'm not surprised stock configuration can reach 110km/h.

 

it's a simple CUB type engine, which should yield around 40+km/litre regardless of throttling style, since this bike is effectively light and aerodynamic. air cooled means coolant maintenance free this bike maintenance is about the same as a Honda Wave, cheap! but should only use mineral and not synthetic engine oil.

 

changing the carbuerator should yield a top speed in excess of 120km/h, but not sure of fc. A genuine Keihin PC20 carb hould do the trick. changing the rear sprocket to be smaller would yield better fc for long distance travelling while compromising pickup.

 

the only drawback would be the rear suspension, where servicing and maintenance is concerned. but i'm sure an economic version of such a small rear shock would be available from our neighbours soon.

 

a lot of room for customization and performance modding since there are no bike fairings. wheelbase about the same as a KSR, which should mean that it could easily fit into any HDB lift:D you can also fabricate a cylindrical tank and spray in matching colour and use it for fuel and the authorities won't even know!

 

with this bike, you'll spend more on customising than maintaining it no belt to change already saves u quite a sum, cub type engine parts easily available, engine oil change at only 12 bucks for a good 3000km or more, mechanical bikes are easier to maintain than automatic scooters. clutch plates are similiar to that of honda wave (it's a honda copy engine), semi-auto step through transmission gives one the ability to drag and change gears, and being a honda cub copy engine, you can easily boost it up to a 140cc or more displacement as such honda cylinder blocks are long available in the market.

 

if you have the $, get aftermarket japan tuning parts for racing magneto and you'll be revving your Sachs like a 2-stroker bike, but get a clever mechanic to re-route the electrics to the headlight. For exhaust options, i believe big names like Leo Vince and Yoshimura would have them soon legalised in Sg context. Am trying to find exhaust models for this since this model was available since 2006.

 

wah finally our local authorities are opening up to bike criteria; firstly we got the KSR 110, and now this! wahahahaha cheap and economic bikes! save the earth, burn lesser fuel please, do your part in global warming!

ask any biker who rides his cub hard and whether his bike gives him problems, none!

 

you gotta love the Honda Cub engine

great review brinsley, but can u let us know why should mineral EO should be used rather than synthetic ?

[spaiduhz]

oho. but the question is...

 

would you dare to ride this on the highway?

 

a 16l tank. wonder where the fuel is stored. inside the frame?

[Aalex82]

oho. but the question is...

 

would you dare to ride this on the highway?

 

a 16l tank. wonder where the fuel is stored. inside the frame?

 

yup..

the petrol stored within the mainframe..

[slutgarden]

oho. but the question is...

16L?. no way man, how can 16l of petrol be stored in that v.small frame?.

 

guess it's only about 4 l or so to be logical.

[spaiduhz]

motorculture reviewed the bike.

 

and motorculture also listed the specs as having a 16l tank. which i also think is kinda rediculous.

 

a simple google search also lists down the tank capacity as 16l.

[suaku]

Not approved yet. Called up a well known shop and they say "next month you call again".

 

BTW fuel tank is 5.1L as stated in their Oz website.

 

http://sachsbikes.com.au/madass.html

 

Nice bike over all. Give KSR a run for money.

[spaiduhz]

5.1 is mroe believable then 16 liters. odd that motorculture got it wrong. :S

[njh]

I think 1 good advantage of the bike is that u can park it outside your flat but of cos not to park it in a way that blocks the passage way or even inside if there is enough space :X

[Phantom Panda]

Hi guys,

 

how much is this bike?

[nase]

Erm...where shall i start, I'm currently riding this bike, so...

 

The tank capacity is 5.3L (0.3 is the reserve)

and I personally don't think that it will fit into a lift..because its larger than it looks on the pictures

 

and the wheelbase is totally different from KSR, previously I own a KSR for 2 years, thats how I know its different

 

About this baby on road? Stock engine can run faster than KSR and dont worry about riding on highway, its more stable than KSR.

 

Just my humble opinions about the bike, feel free to comment, as I've only been riding this bike for only 1900+km

[bapecraze]

wth.. it look more like a bicycle den a bike.. Personally dun think it's safe to be ridden OTR..

[kish_garfield]

any vehicle also not safe...really depends how u control it...bicycle also not safe fi u ride like u super hero...

[SGGH]

[chowjibye]

[Jagged]
