Yamaha PG1 Upgrade that could be a bit too much!

Upgrading your motorcycle pegs can significantly enhance comfort, grip, and control, especially during long rides or off-road adventures. Stock pegs are often basic and may not provide enough traction or support for aggressive riding. Switching to aftermarket options with wide platforms, better materials, and improved ergonomics can reduce fatigue and give you more confidence on the bike. It's a small change that can make a big difference in your overall riding experience. Well I did it with my yamaha PG1 & the result is awesome! 

Stock pegs, slim & rubbery. 

Fresh from shopee! 

To be honest, this pegs actually feels good on my feet, more comfortable if to compare to the stock one especially when I'm riding standing. I never really feel the sharp point of the metal studs instead they are more grippy. 

The gear lever side. They are wide making my feet feel comfortable. 

Upgrading Yamaha PG1 Spark Plug to NGK G Power

Using an NGK G-Power spark plug in a motorcycle offers several benefits over standard plugs. Here are the good things about it:

1. Improved Ignition Efficiency:

The G-Power plug uses a fine-wire platinum center electrode that requires less voltage to spark, resulting in more consistent ignition and better combustion.

2. Better Fuel Economy:

Due to cleaner and more efficient burning, your engine may consume slightly less fuel.

3. Smoother Acceleration:

The improved ignition helps in more responsive throttle performance and smoother acceleration.

4. Reduced Fouling:

The platinum tip runs hotter than standard electrodes, which helps burn off carbon deposits and reduces the chance of fouling, especially at lower RPMs.

5. Longer Lifespan:

Platinum electrodes wear more slowly than conventional ones, so G-Power plugs generally last longer—great for riders who want lower maintenance.

6. Reliable Cold Starts:

It fires more easily in cold weather or after long rest periods due to its high ignitability.

The stock plug, getting eroded already but still working perfectly fine! I'll keep this as a spare plug in any case of emergency. 

The difference between stock plug tip (on the left) & the NGK G Power plug tip.

Different code number CR6 on the stock & CR7 on the G Power but still share the same sizing, length & diameter. 

Old versus new!

What's Up With Primaax Tyres!

New player is in town! Get ready everyone! 

The logo! 

Primaax tyres that I recently used for my yamaha PG1 for my new wheels setup, 17 x 1.60 inches instead of the stock setting which is 16 x 2.15 inches. It was known as the Bigfoot model, a dual purpose amazing tyres. 

Pretty grippy & handle any road conditions with superb performance! I tested it myself and I'm very impressed! 

Long riding & testing, all the way from Kuching to Telok Melano & back! 

These are the stoppers that Primaax uses to keep the tyres from flatting during packaging, something that I never see from other popular tyres brand that I have used before for example the brand MAXXIS & CORSA (which also from Indonesia) 

I was very surprised to see these when I cut open the tyre wrapper & I said to myself no wonder the tyres are awesome in dry & wet condition, even in the heavy rain! It's the effort of the tyre company in making sure that the tyres are not being squeezed in during packaging is just something else!

So if you haven't tested this tyre brand you better be, I swear you'll never regret it especially for those that love dual purpose tyre style! Ride first, worry later!
