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

Enggan ikut tradisi, seorang pelajar kejuruteraan UNIMAS memutuskan untuk mengadakan sambutan majlis konvokesyen di Litar Sepang sempena perlumbaan MotoGP Malaysia minggu lalu. Ridhwan Shah Busrah yang mesra dengan panggilan 'Shah' memutuskan untuk menyambut konvokesyen di sana setelah berjaya menamatkan pengajiannya selama lima tahun yang amat mencabar dalam sejarah hidupnya. Memiliki minat yang mendalam dalam bidang sukan permotoran, Shah bersama kawan-kawan rapatnya pernah menyertai perlumbaan final Kapchai-KBS Endurance Race di Litar F1 Sepang dua tahun berturut-turut sebelum ini. "Being normal is too mainstream. We have to push to another level," katanya. Semoga cita-cita Shah untuk mengharumkan nama Sarawak dalam bidang sukan bermotor dapat dicapai.

Yamaha Crossplane Cranshaft

Image
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 no...
