This modification is unique and unusual. As we know that the Kawasaki KZ200 is a single-cylinder motorcycle. I was curious and find out about this bike.

V-Engine turns out that look at this bike is only as accessories, not really working properly. The bobber-style motorcycle built by Udivisianto which is a motorcycle designer from Puspa Kediri Custom workhop located in Pondok Gede, East Jakarta, Indonesia.



This bike belongs to Ariawan Wijaya, who is also the owner of the home modification New Motor Sport (BMS) in Jl. Palmerah West No.. 25, Central Jakarta. Ari wants to have another mascot. He wanted to touch different. So PKC workshop that used to build the motor with the concepts of old-school become partner.

So this project is the collaboration between the two modifiers. Ari greeting modifier and importers of used motor spare parts that allow creative Udivisianto board-tracker bobber with a trendy concept in the 1920s.

Classic Motorcycles - The Moto Guzzi S3

In the late 1960s and into the '70s, there was a Japanese motorcycle manufacturer's battle similar to the computer wars of the 1990s, in that the emphasis was on constantly increasing the power. This made for some exciting machines, particularly as the handling aspect came a distant second in their considerations. European manufacturers however, thought differently. The expression "power is nothing without control" was well understood by the likes of Moto Guzzi and their fellow European manufacturers. Whilst they understood power was important and a big selling point for any motorcycle at that time, their priority was in making powerful bikes with "usable" power.



The S3 had a top speed of 125mph and 748cc transverse 90 degree V-twin producing 72bhp. However, more powerful bikes such as Kawasaki's Z1 with a claimed 82bhp was considered no match for the S3 in the real world of twists and turns - in other words, where it mattered. The S3 had a revolutionary braking system. Twin discs on the front and one on the back was nothing new, but their operation was. They were linked. The foot pedal, normally the rear break, operated both the rear brake and one of the front discs, whilst the handlebar lever operated the other front disc.

Combine this with the long, low race developed frame (from the V7Sport) and you had an assured performer that gave the rider confidence in the corners and power with control when needed. There were two main drawbacks for the S3. One was the high foot pegs and clip on handlebars, making the machine difficult to get comfy on for long legged riders.

The second problem was that although the bike handled incredibly well and could show a clean pair of heels to other, more powerful superbikes of the time; it simply lacked the grunt to get it moving. In other words, it was slow from a standing start. However, the "lemon", was going to be arriving in the following year, 1976, and things would change.

Tires are part of safety measures which can affect your comfort, safety, handling and riding on the road. To be able to have best performance and efficiency of your motorcycle, it is critical to have good performance of your tires.

Choosing the right tires is the first step in controlling tire wear.  For instance, softer compounds are excellent in producing more traction though they wear out quickly. Harder compounds have enhanced wear but they may not cause a good grip. Manufacturers such as Pirelli Motorcycle Tires have a variety of tires for different terrains.

Tips to help you decide
-        It is difficult to know exactly when your tires need replacement. If you do not replace your tires in time, you might experience a blow-out. Warm climates make tires age faster than cold climate season. Tires become unsafe when they are worn out, and once the tread is down too, for instance, 1/32th of an inch, the tire is no longer safe and needs to be replaced.

-        Tire wear and age start from the date of manufacture. Tires can deteriorate even when in storage. One thing manufacturers like Pirelli Motorcycle tires consider is dealing with effective grip together with longer mileage when it comes to tires. This will extend the life of your tires. Replacement of your tires can be done at least every six years as recommended by NHTSA. This is regardless of the way you use them.

-        The ‘Penny Test':One way to know when to change your tires is through ‘penny test'. This can be done by outing the penny into the tire groove with its head pointing down. When you are able to see the top of the head of the person in the coin, then it is time to change your tires.

-        Front tire replacement: At times front tires may still need replacement even when there is still ample rubber. They may look fine even if they have gone through considerable heat cycles. When your tires react like this, get them replaced. Look at the owner's manual for specific recommendations related to your motorcycle.  Pirelli Motorcycle Tires manufactures provide such manuals for guidance when using tires.

-        To identify that your tires need replacement, you can use tread pattern test or use special tread depth indicator or gauge tool. Alternatively, you can go to your regular tire place and ask them to check if the tires are worn out.You can purchase at affordable prices from Pirelli motorcycle tires manufacturers. They have a proven track record for transferring torque from the engine to the road in the industry's most efficient manner.

When you are selecting new tires, it is important to ensure that the tire's load rating is at least as high as the tire you are replacing. The mistake that most riders make is selecting tires without considering its ability to hold on the road.

Find the Right Motorcycle Helmets for Your Safety

In today's unpredictable world where numbers of road accidents rising very fast, wearing a helmet while riding a bike is essential to keep yourself safe and secure. Buy a helmet which is high on style content along with being safe and get benefited by it.




Author: Daniel Daly

A helmet that is well chosen and used properly can dramatically decrease the odds of suffering from a drastic brain injury in the event of a motorcycle accident. Most of the accidents which involve bikes cause serious damage to the rider's head and even irreparable brain damage. Therefore, it is obvious why wearing a helmet that fits properly is the single most vital thing that you can do. A motorcycle helmet must be DOT certified so that it is safe and can sustain an accident and protect your head. Other safety gear like a leather jacket, gloves, long leather trousers and boots can definitely help you avoid suffering from painful abrasions (road rash).

There are facilities all over the world that run a battery of tests on safety gear. Only the items that pass their tests should be released for sale, but this is not the case. There is unfortunately a lot of gear on the market that weren't able to withstand the quality control tests. One such test is the drop test. This tests shows whether the helmet would truly be able to protect your skull in the event of an accident. There are committees like the Department of Transportation which uses data from all these findings to certify gear that is adequate for safety. You will come across many uncertified "safety" gear, but it is in your best interest to avoid them.

The term safety gear retention is something that you should be conscious of. It basically means the ability of the safety gear to remain on your head securely. It is obvious that a helmet that comes off while you are involved in a crash is of absolutely no use. A simple check that you could perform to determine if the safety gear will retain its position on your head is to securely strap the safety gear by using the chin strap and then trying to roll the safety gear off your head using your hand. If the safety gear comes off easily, then it will certainly not stay on during an accident. Therefore the safety gear that you choose must pass this test.

Your helmet must be comfortable and the sizing needs to be perfect. It should fit snugly around your head with no strains around your cheek bone or jaw. Every manufacturer has a unique design style so their helmets will fit differently. A properly fitting safety helmet is essential for high retention in an accident. Riders will only wear safety gear that is comfortable, if it's uncomfortable it won't be worn and which is extremely dangerous.

These are some factors that one should keep in mind while deciding which motorcycle helmet to buy. BikerFan.com promotes safety for bikers. They only sell helmets that are DOT certified or Snell certified.  They offer a wide selection of the latest trends in novelty helmets which is why they've been a world leader for the past 10 years.

Kawasaki KZ200 Manual Service E-Book

I have a scanned manual book of Kawasaki KZ200 in JPEG files. Some enthusiast people asking me to shared the file but I think it's too large to stored on website. So I convert it to E-Book format while people can read it from their PC offline.



This book is originally created and owned by Kawasaki Motorcycle Manufacture and have their own license to publish. Since this motorcycle is not produced, it's so hard to find the guide of service. I hope what I'm doing is not violate the law or copyright. I just want to share with other Kawasaki KZ200 owner and lover. And I don't take any benefit from it.

The book is an exe file but there is no need to install, just run the file. You need to install Adobe Flash Player if you don't have it.
