Solo ride to Betong using Project Big 1.
PB1 engine overhaul after brought test ride to Betong get ready for 2014
6000km ride but temperature too high even on night ride 140km
temperature stay at 80% 160km will hit top luckily after KL rain all the
way to Betong temperature drop to 30%. Fuel consumption is bad
1L/12.9km something very wrong...
Don't assume there is a fault if we can't achieve who ever had accomplish by hard work nor we only want to stay in our comfort zone living and dreaming about success.
The faster timing I had achieved under Class 2B 200cc bike on a 800km ride from Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. The ride started on 15-9-13 23:00 reaching Thai Betong custom at 16-9-13 10:30 a total of 11.5hr including 1hr break in SG.BULOH R&R 5 pit-stop for petrol refueling each pit-stop last 30min including smoke break and refreshment.
Another
challenge ahead will take how many hour to reach my destination 800km
away? The Vara is the slowest bike I ever own 124cc 14.2 hp with top
speed 120km/h the only advantage this bike has is a large fuel tank of
17L...

I brought a FF plate 2RK TZR 125cc with faring mount on 1st April the ex-owner had done a good job maintenance the bike. I miss this bike it's the very first bike I own 16 years ago and back then I had a dream to ride it to Thailand but due to unforeseen circumstances I only manage to do it now. As I previously had 3 time experience travel to Betong on 4 stroke bike solo hope this time it will benefit a smooth ride this is my first time riding a 2 stroke bike to HatYai.
"Currently there is less than 10 TZR 125 in Singapore most were crashed, raced or run to death by youthful owners in the past."
Challenge I face expect the unexpected.
The TZR is 25 year old.
2 stroke engine fuel and 2T consumption.
Constant riding on 2 stroke engine over heating issue.
Riding and sitting position rather discomfort.
Noise TZR is a loud bike. haha
Before the ride I change back to Yamaha TZR suspension! Cost me a boom!
This cooler solve my TZR heating issue the heat meter never go 50%!
Trip start 5th May 2013 21:45 from JB.
Trip route: Singapore>JB>Alor Star>Bukit Kayu Hitam>Danok>Sadao>Hatyai.
On first day my meter show I cover 960km when reaching hotel car park!
I always watch this video clip before my trip start!
Near Melaka the FE is terrible 1L/16KM
The whole trip I had use up 3 bottle of 2T!
Hungry before the trip hardly eat anything nasi ayam @ R&R Dengkil.
6am @ R&R Tapah, north bound
Very tiring in and out of petrol pump station haha
Enjoy the view before riding up the Menora Tunnel.
"Hi
osxunix, I saw you on the trunk road before Gerik town. Was surprised
to see a Sgp plate Handa Phantom riding alone. Gave you a friendly wave
as i rode past you. I was riding in a group which consist of a Honda
Goldwing, KTM adventure, Harley rocker and me a Suzuki m109r. Don't know
whether you noticed us? We left on Sunday morning from Betong too but
we went up to Hatyai."
