TZR 125 solo HatYai trip

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.

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.

Your 2b 2 stroker touring is like the best expression of motorcycle touring. Its adventurous and its all down to a man and his machine.
