Kawasaki Ninja 250R Color Gift

Kawasaki Ninja 250R

interesting indeed laburan color on the body of this Ninja 250R. In accordance theme birthday SN250RC (Solo Ninja 250R Community) who took the slogan We Are Colorful but One. Have a different meaning though color but still single.
That loyalty Agus Budiyono at his club that it deserves thumbs up. How baseball, is brought to you for the birthday SN250RC the second, a month ago (5 / 3), Nyonyo so vocation, prepare a special modification of the bike to look different.
Problem diff baseball just different. Because almost all lines of motorcycles hit a touch of color modifications. Starting from the view of the body, until laburan variation applied in situ. Jump to invite questions nih. Airbrushnya who claim it?.
Oops wrong, that's not the airbrush, but the processed digital printing feature computer-designed graphics. Graphic style similar to wrapping paper at a glance. It is so that undesirable Nyonyo who took Pak Dhe from Jl. Solo-Yogyakarta to design his favorite Ninja.
Then Why Nyonyo interested in digital printing?. "The advantages of digital printing design, not limited to the idea. Similarly, in a matter of choice of colors, very rich. In addition, the design process long baseball. The long process of installation, "chortled a motor-car showroom owners Budi Agung Motor (BAM) in Palur, Karanganyar, Solo.
Ow so, you know how pengaplikasinya. To be sure baseball is easy, let alone altered the contours of the body is not like the original. Because the new made of fiberglass. Front fairing refers to the MotoGP Yamaha YZR-M1. While parts of the body center, sides, and tail a la Ducati GP11 but has been modified and adjust the overall body. As a result it looked more solid body muscular motor.
There is the challenge. Due to cover the entire contour of the body, users a white Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is also claimed to have spent about 5 meter layer of sticker printing which is a sheet with no connection alias intact.
Unfortunately Nyonyo forget the type of stickers are used. He said the hell similar to ordinary stickers. Well lo! As a result the finished design drawings, be continued process of printing on sticker paper, a new trus deh mounted on the body. Previous section would be installed layer of a sticker should be clean.
Process Nyonyo word pairs that complicated. "That's where the need patience. Because of details in the body, eg between tank with tail panel must meet baseball graphic lines can escape. So also in the complex such as indentation. Anyway, the sticker must still be installed evenly, "he explained.
Nyonyo add process pairs use a hair dryer and lighters. Two of the tools it needed to issue a wind bubble that arises when a layer of a sticker attached. Oh yes almost forgot, before the installation of the sticker sheet first whitewash first so shiny varnish.
Then when the installation is complete, clear whitewash again. Sssstt, want to know the cost incurred so Nyonyo for digital printing. He said the hell is only about USD 1.5 to 2 million. (Motorplus-online.com)
Durable GAK YA?
Aka stickers stickers certainly the most simple way to change the appearance. Rather than airbush, stickers fastest completion in a matter of time. Use paint need more than a week to replace color plus motifn. Unlike digital printing pengerjan maximum of 3 days.
Utilizing digital printing on sheets of stickers for motor body, not the baseball may be a virus or a trend. Moreover, as mentioned Nyonyo, excess pattern design results computer settings very dynamic and attractive.
Then durable baseball? "If it's covered with clear, certainly durable. Because there is a protective layer. So, no problem too washed, "he said.
Surely again, do not care too much trouble for digital printing. What's more if you want to replace the standard body, easy and can also be quickly reassembled.

AT Honda Revo

AT Honda Revo

Yamaha's first automatic duck is indeed appear behind AT Honda Revo which has first glide past mid-year 2010. But, it is said Yamaha had no weapons to be more acceptable to the market.
The main problem of the concept of the motorcycle itself. Honda motorcycle went from thinking that dbuat duck so automatic. All devices operate like a duck but without having to move the teeth.
Most notable is that the rear brakes fixed on the right foot. So also Footstep rider whose shape remains pipe with rubber wrap.
Medium Yamaha 4wheeler targeting consumer convenience features. Know yourself, people choose the car as daily transportation because of course comfortable. For Yamaha scooter-style way of driving the most comfortable.
 
Rear hand brake lever is easily operated with the rear brake on the handlebar like a scooter fixed. Wider footrests.
"So we moved to the rear brake on the left handlebar and a large footrest like scooter," explained Paul Firmanto, GM Promotions and Motorsport PT Yamaha Motor Kencana Indonesia (YMKI).
Yamaha is also making improvements to the front suspension Lexam. Inside the tube there are two spring teleskopiknya which is believed capable of providing more comfort.
Just like AT Revo, Lexam is also equipped with a parking brake or by Yamaha called by the name rear hand brake. But in Lexam how to operate different, more practical than the existing on AT Revo.
In Lexam to lock, the driver only need to press the rear brake lever and pressing the brake lock down. To remove it just press and release the brake lever. It only took one hand, and even more like the parking brake on the scooter Honda, BEAT or Vario.
Who's on AT Revo rider must use the feet and hands to menkunci. Must tread rear brakes and pulled the lever under the handlebar. To remove the rear brake must be trampled.Panel's unique speedometer and head lamp design that was different from Lexam Vietnamese version
Oiya, the Lexam also has a rear hand brake indicator on the speedometer panel. When locked, the light turns yellow with the words "lock".
Now go to the machine. It uses a new platform, but the SOHC engine, 2 valve that carries the cylinder volume is 113.7 cc Bore x stroke has in common with the Vega ZR. Equally 50mm x 57.9 mm.
But the energy business, which is slightly larger Lexam 8.69, while Vega ZR hp hp only 8:02. Perhaps this is because the use of larger carburetors, Mikuni 25mm carburetor Lexam wear, moderate wear Vega ZR Mikuni 17mm.
But the matter of fuel consumption, Yamaha reluctant to talk about it. "We're not promising fuel consumption and speed of the Yamaha Lexam. But we promise practicality within driving and ease traffic congestion," said Paul interrupted the launch of Lexam, last week.
Continue to the transmission. It's what makes the difference with the common duck. Yamaha Yamaha technology Compact Automatic Transmission (YCAT). The principle works the same as AT Revo.Design exhaust casual, kick starter on the left and the key magnet
The position of continuously variable transmission (CVT) is on the right side crankcase replace double clutch / automatic clutch-style duck. From the CVT device is then energy is transferred to the chain on the left side of the machine after the previous pass through the clutch.
But YCAT is claimed to have several advantages. Among its ability to reduce engine heat that can create belt (belt CVT), quick wear and inefficient mentransferkan power from the engine.
Yamaha equip Lexam with CVT cooling flow with the air system without a hitch. The air is taken directly from the outside via the proboscis as a vent for later distributed on the space V-Belt.
This trunk is equipped with cooling air filter with a layer of oil. Position the filter and place of entry of the flow of air from outside is also placed on, for Lexam freely hit a puddle.
"Belt CVT on Lexam also specially made from special materials that make it resistant to 40 thousand kilometers, or approximately 4 years," believes Paul. Well preserved dong! (Motorplus.otomotifnet.com)
