Yamaha Byson in Indonesia at 2010



The rumor says that Yamaha Indonesia will launch a new motor sport. It's called Byson (FZ160). Have the energy capacity of 153 cc.

Although still in the testing phase, it seems the motor will be able to rule the streets. Byson look similar with Yamaha FZ16. Very sporty and cool. With the lights under the handlebars and a big motor exhaust style, this bike have a taste of big Motor bike.

Together with V-Ixion, Byson presence will make a rival who also has a motor type is difficult to pursue sport. The price for this bike? Probably around 20 million. Yes, it's just a prediction. The reason there is no official price of the Yamaha.


Ok, in terms of FZ160 certainly looks more ferocious look. The reason is the base model used is the Yamaha FZ6 and FZ1 which is true streetfighter. And as usual here is the appearance of all things, as well as soap operas where the performance artist looks is more important than acting ability. Following advantages compared FZ 160 V-Ixion:

1. Rear tire size of 140 was recorded bigger than even Kawasaki Ninja 250R.
2. Bison FZ160 exhaust form that resembles YZF-R6 far more beautiful than the stock
V-Ixion exhaust's .
3. FZ160 large tank besides supporting performances are also supporting the comfortable
4. FZ160 headlamps have a more modern look rather than V-Ixion is still retro
5. Although FZ160 engine doesnt have radiator but looks full, while the V-Ixion seem like hollow.
6. In overall shape resembling a bull FZ160 more handsome than the V-Ixion conventional

So if Bison FZ160
released before theV-Ixion, the Vixion fate maynot as well as now. But that clearly should be released YMKI pleased this bike, considering the price which existed under Vixi at least not be able to increase sales of yamaha, but also capable of pounding the 125cc class bike like bajaj XCD 125, Thunder or Megapro. ..

How to Clean the fuel Tank



Fuel tank could be leaking due to age and bad quality of the fuel. water could be mixed in fuel can cause corrosion and sediment deposits that cause fuel flow less smoothly.
To avoid the leak of fuel tank, it need to be cleaned.

The first step is to release the tank from the bike frame.
After that the remaining gasoline spilled or stored in containers or buckets that have been provided.
After all the gas is exhausted, then enter the mixed water and detergent or a pumice stone marbles. Why use marbles? The function of pumice marbles or earlier is to peel sludge and crust that is on the inside. Note that, the water was quite 1 / 3 the size of the tank.

After that drain the tank by opening and closing of the tap hole. If it still remained in the tap water before, then it can be aspirated using a small injection or commonly used for printer ink. Position dried them with holes facing down tanks. This drying process can take up to 4 hours to dry completely.

While waiting for the dry tank could also clean the faucet with a way to brush using an old toothbrush.
To ensure there is no more water can blow pressurized air into the top. If the hole faucet cold out there it means the remaining water. Do not ever try to dry it by wipe away with some cloth, because it could have cloth left and causing new deposits. also not recommended using a tissue or paper.
This process can be done once a year to improve the tank durable.

Custom Chopper Engine Oil: Petroleum-Based Motorcycle Oil vs. Synthetic



If you want to get an argument started about motorcycle oil, just ask a group of custom chopper owners whether synthetic or petroleum-based oil is best for their engines and then ask why motorcycle oil costs so much more. You'll find some very, very strong opinions on these issues.



A while back, a Donny Petersen article appeared in American Iron magazine where he recommended synthetic oil for motorcycles. Harley-Davidson challenged his recommendations. ExxonMobil then provided information about synthetic motorcycle oil and the advantages of the synthetics.

There are clearly two strongly divided camps about this topic. For years, research results lauding the advantages of synthetics have been published. In fact, the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has reported the benefits. Some of the benefits attributed to synthetic motorcycle oil products have been improved fuel economy, more power, less friction, better temperature control, increased engine life, less part failures and more. Sure, a car is not a custom chopper, but an engine is an engine - isn't it? Well, one significant difference between custom choppers and cars is that the chopper, at least in most cases, doesn't have a radiator and water coolant system to maintain engine temperature.

Most custom chopper power houses are cooled by the flow of air around the engine, dissipating the heat build up. The rear cylinder in a V-Twin engine will run hotter than the front cylinder as a result of this air cooling system. When the engine gets too hot, that is a bad thing. Yet, synthetic motorcycle oil producers and supporting research both indicate that synthetic oil helps keep the engine temperature down.

Another question that begs to be answered is: What is so different about motorcycle engine oils than automobile engine oils? Why do we pay double, triple or even more for motorcycle oil to put in our custom chopper engines that we pay for the engine oil we put in our cars? Whether petroleum-based or synthetic, this price difference is always there. Of course, after investing our money and time into building or buying just the perfect custom chopper, no one wants to use the wrong product and damage the engine of our well-loved sleds. But then, I don't want to damage the engine of my classic Dodge Charger, either. Having to do a rebuild on either engine is not something I plan for the immediate future. So, if the motorcycle oil manufacturers are telling me the truth that motorcycle oil is so different and so much better than automotive motor oil and that synthetic oil shouldn't be used in my motorcycle, perhaps I should be using the more expensive motorcycle oil in my cage, right?

Well, the bottom line is that custom choppers and cars are NOT the same and there are some differences in the oils that need to be considered. Let's look at these differences and then, you can determine for yourself whether to choose motorcycle-specific or automobile oil, petroleum-based or synthetic motorcycle oil in your custom chopper engine. Differences To Consider When Choosing Engine Oil Viscosity is one of the issues that are important when considering engine oil. But what, exactly, IS viscosity? According to John C. Woolum, PhD a Professor of Physics and motorcycle enthusiast who, in 1994, performed research on car vs. bike oils, defines viscosity as: "a measure of the friction between two layers of a liquid sliding relative to one another." Maintaining viscosity during the high operating temperatures and through the grueling transmission lubrication process is something that must occur to make an oil product effective for your chopper engine. Dr. Woolum that revealed that viscosity retention in automotive oils was frequently equal to, or even greater than, that for oil products labels as motorcycle oil. Other things that Dr. Woolum found during his research include the fact that synthetic oils experience a drop in viscosity more slowly than petroleum oils when used in the exact same ways. The largest drop in viscosity occurred during the first 800 miles or less of use. His research also indicated that motorcycles are, in fact, much harder on engine oil that automobiles. There was not a clear difference in his findings as to any ways that automobile oil was better than motorcycle oil, whether petroleum or synthetic. Friction modifiers are another issue. Cars benefit from friction modifiers. However, if you look at your custom chopper engine documentation, you will probably find a warning not to use any oil with graphite of molybdenum additives. This is because wet clutches clip when very low viscosity oil or oil with these additives is used. Read the label of any oil you put in your custom chopper and be sure it does not have these additives in large amounts. If your custom chopper engine handbook indicates that you should only use a specific oil, many are afraid that their warranty will be voided if they use any other product. The Magnusson-Moss Act says, simply put, that an original equipment manufacturer cannot base their warranty on making a consumer use an OEM part or fluid unless that part of fluid is provided to the consumer free of charge. So what's the real bottom line? The fact is that the choice is yours. There are very good automotive motor oils that some of my friends use in their custom choppers, while others wouldn't even THINK of putting something in their engines that didn't say clearly on the label that is was created specifically for motorcycles. Some of my friends are completely sold on the fact that synthetic motorcycle oil doesn't break down as quickly and wouldn't use anything else - in their motorcycles or their cars. Others choose to stick with the dinosaur oil. As long as you choose a top-of-the-line oil product that meets the specs for your engine, the choice is yours.
