HONDA CBF STUNNER 125


Honda Motor India have released new motorcycle called Honda CBF Stunner 125. It is a very new model of Honda. It has an engine which is like Honda GL-Max in Indonesia. They are no longer produce it. Indian designs always have the specialty. Try to focus on the headlamp. You'l see the kind of similarities with Bajaj's products. They are usually made big head lamp but it has no undercowling to close the engine.
The 125 cc conviguration is basically the same with the older version of 125, but if we see in the cylinder head there will be a differ. the shape is more alike the Honda bikes new generation such as Honda Vario, Honda BeAt, Honda Blade 110 and Honda New Revo 110. They claimed the new technology reduce gas consumption and increase the power and speed.
Probably, this Honda will also released in Indonesia. Since in this 125 cc class have ruled by Suzuki Thunder 125 for a long time after Honda stopped GL-Max production. If it is so, it will be a great punch of Honda. The design is one of the weapon.

The prototype of Iragashi Design has been introduced is quite revolutionary of the overall concept. Tuvie.com says the aim of the project was to develop a concept wherein the same is controlled by high performance motorcycle robots. The bike driven by high power electric motor with a built in battery pack. The balance of the vehicle is actively controlled by swinging the boom by the hydraulic actuators. Since the vehicle is driven by motorcycle robot, hence is far more accurate well not bad considering the fact that the promoters aim to break the records in the MotoGP circuit. The question is, where should I sit?

Side Stander Sensor


Many of safety features in motorcycle are applied in Indonesia’s product motorcycle. Like in Suzuki Skywave 125, Honda BeAT or in Kawasaki Ninja 250 R and KLX 250 R. If the side stander is active the machine will not start anyway.

A problem appeared when those motorcycles used for racing, because the mechanics usually remove the side stander. We afraid that if when we remove the stander and the sensor is still discharged in the motorcycle, it can’t start.

For instance Kawasaki KLX 250 R when used for enduro racing. The stander was removed and the mechanics just put the sensor on the chassis near left footstep. Motor Plus journalist when participated in enduro racing at Jakarta sometimes ago said that when landing after a bowl, suddenly the motorcycle was not running. He first thought that the engine is overheated. Apparently, the sensor’s switch was turned off.

“That’s because the switch uses ON/OFF system just like a common electric switch.” Engineer Manager of PT. Kawasaki Motor Indonesia (KMI), Reiner Sitorus explained. There’s always possibility if the switch is put at random will be easier to turned if for instance hit by shoe. Automatically the switch will turn change and effected in the electricity to CDI is turn off.

Maybe it will be better if remove also with the switch although it is connected with engine-stop and clutch sensor.
