Front Brake Rebuild

Hi,

This is a real confess of why my bike hit the wall during the MSS race last year. I have a fucked-up caliper. It was sold to me second hand and i didn't bother to change the seal.(well i dont think i'm alone on this one).The oil seal blows where its slowly spit the brake fluid to my disc. In addition to that i also have a DUMMY rear caliper.Nothing much to tell, learn from mistake. End of story.

Now, i managed to find this after i cleand up the disc, and yet my disc is still wet the next day. I have to used back my standard caliper last race. But with the front brake drag i dont get to use the full power of the bike. That is why i HAD to buy this, last week.

BIKETEK Front Stand. Made in China, just rebranded and should i say "repriced".

I have take apart my fron caliper and cleaned them up. For those who yet to know, it's a Brembo Caliper 4 pot 65mm.It got 4 pistons, the sizes is 30mm and 34mm.

There is a replacement oil seal sold on the net,available as new eventough Brembo themselves doesn't sell it. They advise us to change the whole thing. Yeah,right.

The whole thing gonna cost about MYR 300, but it is not complete. I still have the pistons and the seal in good shape, whatever wasn't listed was exactly what i really need.

I still get the seal from the shop, they use another seal from another bike. Good practice but not always work.

More to report when it finishes!

New Race, New Challenges, New Problem

Hi,

As you all know i am competing in the Selangor Motor Race. Since Sepang Intranational Circuit does not want us to be anywhere their track, these guys from WADACS Resources come out of nowhere to become our saviour.

They have introduce this race series to add another challenge in the Malaysian motorsport arena. This seems to be the good replacement for us who compete in the previously Bikerz Mag Cup. The only thing that is not in our side is the track itself. It is basically a go-kart track, and it is suitable for smaller bike e.g moped / scooter.

So we all need to adapt to the track layout, and then make some adjustments to our bikes for this purpose. That doesnt mean it can finish first, but to malke sure that we wont be the last.

The problem is, we have to compete with smaller bikes,in underbone chassis.The obviously have the weight benefit, and also maneuvribility since they had a short wheelbase.

Another problem is the ASR,  most of the components were to be remained standard. We have adhered to the rules in the Malaysian Super Series, but then in SMR we have to buy a replacement standard components.. and winner from the 1st up to 5th need to be dismatled their engine for scrutineering. So much for the Cost Saving concept.. :(

Selangor Motor Race Round 3

Hi,
Last weeki have competed in a motorbike race scheduled at the Speedway PLUS Circuit, USJ. The event were held for 2 days, with the 1st day being filled up with 3 practice and 1 Qualifying session which i managed to qualify for the 11th place. The race day is scheduled on Sunday, where 2 races took place.

There were of course some 'obligatory-last-minute-problems' that shows up, but i still managed to get thru eventhough that means there is only 2 hours to sleep before the event started.

The full race consists of 20 lap (yep, you read that correct!) in which the stamina of every single racer is being tested. I managed to score 8th position in the 1st race, which costs all of his stamina that we normally use for 1week.LOL.

 In Race2 i starts on the 8th grid, where everyone witnessed my flying start which made me overtook several riders and then managed 3rd position on the first few laps. The race got through with no energy left, numbness in all of my limbs. Somehow i managed to finish the race, and podium finishes just makes the day better. The score? 4th place.

Next race is on the October, 13th & 14th. Please give our racer some support he needs, ok?

Yup, i forgot to turn ON the fuel tap.

The competition were tough as we battle with those Underbone bike. But 3 of them got disqualified due to the rules setup by the organiser.That's how i got the 4th place. But the way i see it, these 2 bikes does not belong in the same categories. Only the engine capacity makes them " similar" but thats the limit.There will be 1 post about that so stay tune for more.

NSR servo

Hi,

While i'm browsing thru pages of GP memorabilia, i was shocked to find this picture.

A servo from an NSR 150! that is directly from my bike! and the bike that use it is not even a Honda!

and the worst part is,my servo is broke. I just found this during the last week race. It was turning OPEN - CLOSE forever. I need to unplug it for the race. :( A bit loss i guess, but 4th place is not bad at all! LOL
