2017 BMW Motorrad G310 GS released – 34 hp, 28 Nm


While Malaysia still awaits the official release of BMW’s “baby” Motorrad, the G310 R, BMW has announced the international arrival of the dual-purpose styled 2017 BMW G310 GS. Drawing heavily on BMW’s heritage of Gelande/Strasse (land/street) machines, the G310 GS looks like smaller version of the massive R1200 GS overlander machine.
Using the 313 cc DOHC liquid-cooled single-cylinder that is used in the G310 R, the G310 GS has 34 hp at 9,500 rpm on tap, with 28 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm. All this pushes a package that weighs 169.5 kilogrammes, which is a DIN number, not a manufacturer’s claim.
Two-channel ABS – which can be user deactivated – comes standard, and suspension is with upside-down forks and a monoshock in the rear. The front wheel is a 19-inch unit, while the rear wheel uses a 17-inch hoop, held by an aluminium swingarm.
BMW Motorrad has not indicated when the 2017 G310 GS will enter the market, or what the likely pricing might be. It should be noted that the G310 GS is designed to be an all-markets machine, which means the engine meets all worldwide regulations.
As for the BMW Motorrad G310 R, BMW Motorrad Malaysia has remained non-committal about its likely local launch date. While the quarter-litre class roadster has been seen on display in roadshows, and we’ve had a close up look at it in Bangkok and Jakarta, it remains a game of wait and see. Paultan

Yamaha Crossplane Cranshaft

Completely new crossplane crankshaft design to increase the throttle and drive ability by reducing the inertia force. Function   Crossplane design means that each of the crankpins are at a 90° angle compared to the next.  The crankpins are therefore in two planes crossed at 90°, thus the name crossplane crankshaft.  The crossplane crankshaft is designed to reduce inertia torque created by the engine to a minimum.  The torque that a rider feels is a combination of two kinds of torque: the Combustion torque coming directly from the firing of the engine, and the Inertia torque coming from the movement of the parts (such as pistons and crankshaft) inside the engine.  The inertia torque acts as ‘noise’ interfering with the combustion torque and thus throttle feeling for the driver.  Just like music we don’t want to have any cracks, hick-ups or other disturbances to interfere with the quality of the music. In other words we don’t want noise in the music!  With the

Periuk kera mangkuk tandas tupai dan kelawar?

Dalam pelbagai juadah pada musim perayaan Aidilfitri, hidangan lemang periuk kera antara yang menjadi bahan perbualan sejak beberapa tahun lalu. Lemang periuk kera dikatakan lebih enak berbanding lemang buluh yang sudah menjadi kebiasaan dihidangkan Juadah ini dimasak dalam kelongsong periuk kera atau nama saintifiknya Nepenthes Mirabilis dan sangat popular di negeri Pahang dan Johor. Namun di sebalik populariti lemang itu, barangkali ramai yang tidak tahu bahawa tumbuhan periuk kera sedang mengalami ancaman. Dan apa yang wajar diketahui juga, periuk kera  merupakan mangkuk tandas buat haiwan mamalia seperti Kelawar dan juga tupai. Perkara itu didedahkan oleh akaun Twitter rasmi @ZoologiMy yang menyifatkan menghidangkan lemang periuk kera di hari raya bukan pilihan yang bijak. "Lemang Periuk Kera, bukan pilihan yang bijak untuk  musim perayaan," kata @ZoologiMY. Satu kajian baru yang dilakukan oleh sekumpulan saintis dari Universiti Brunei Dar
