Malaysia RIder and Big Bike Fans

Hello, I am a graphic student from Graphic Design of UTAR. As you know it is my Final Year Project. To many
problems i have met durring every single session. After MCO, that is not so many tournament news for every

fans as the Covid 19 stlll spread anyway in worldwide. So i do some intereting interview for you guys.

Malaysia was always delay from import of different motorcycles no either Japan brand or Europe Brand. Many
news we only can recieved from other country website. But it is a good news because consumer can take
longer time to decide buying or not. But we cannot test the motor at the very first so we lost many opportunity

of suprising our reader

Yeah, Malaysia has the highest road fatality risk (per 100,000 population) among the ASEAN countries and more
than 50% of the road accident fatalities involve motorcyclists. This study has collected and analysed data from
the police zzernment authorities, a national and international research institutes. Only fatality data are used
due to the severe underreporting of severe injuries (up to 600%) and slight injuries (up to 1400%). The analysis
reveals that the highest numbers of motorcycle fatalities occur in rural locations (61%), on primary roads
(62%) and on straight road sections (66%). The majority are riders (89%), 16 to 20 years old (22.5%), and 90%
of the motorcycles are privately owned. Of those involved in fatal accidents, 75% of the motorcyclists wear
helmets, and 35% do not have proper licences. The highest number of fatalities by type of collision is ‘angu-
lar or side’ (27.5%). Although fatal motorcyclist crashes mostly involve ‘passenger cars’ (28%), motorcyclists
are responsible for 50% of the collisions either by crashing singly (25%) or with other motorcyclists (25%).
While male motorcyclists predominate (94% of fatalities), female motorcyclists aged 31 to 70, possessing ‘no
licence’, not wearing helmets and travelling during the day, account for a higher percentage than male motor-
cyclists. Malaysia must acquire more motorcycle exposure data and establish an injury recording system and

database based on hospital-recordsstraight road sections. tocyclists

Mlaysia has the highest road fatality risk (per 100,000 population)

BENEILLI RFS 150 I

TRACK KAP

Highest Top Speed 145 KM/H

After switching Malaysian distributors from Benelli Keeway Ma-
laysia to M-Force Malaysia – currently distributor of SYM scooters
– Benelli has introduced the 2017 Benelli RFS150i supercub. Priced
at RM7,407 for the base RFS150i and RM7,778 for the RFS150i SE
(including GST), this is Benelli’s entry in to the 150 cc supercub
segment.

Popular in the region, especially locally and in Indonesia, the su-
percub category is currently dominated by the Yamaha Y15ZR
and Honda RS150R. For the Benelli RFS150i, power comes from
a liquid-cooled single cylinder 149 cc power plant that produces

Advertising15.5 hp at 8,500 rpm and 13 Nm of torque at 7,000 rpm.
Unique to the RFS150i is a three-spark plug cylinder head con-
figuration – called B3SP – that, in conjunction with the bike’s ECU
and fuel-injection system, is designed to optimise fuel efficiency
and produce optimum power, while reducing emissions. Power
gets to the ground via a six-speed gearbox with wet clutch,
as is typical in this class of machine.
RFS 150i - SE 2RFS 150i - YellowRFS 150i - Blue
As “RFS” means “Riders For Speed” in Benelli
terminology, the RFS150i comes with prop-
er racing-style upside-down forks along
with a monoshock rear-end. Braking is
with hydraulic disc front and rear, with
the front carrying a 240 mm petal
brake disc, and a 220 mm diameter
disc at the back.

Comfort seat height

Fuel for the RFS150i is carried in
a 4.8-litre tank under the seat,
and dry weight is claimed to be
115 kg. Seat height is set at 787
mm, and top speed for this new
supercub is claimed to be 100
km/h, but, from experience, we
know that supercubs are some-
what faster than this.

It’s much easier to change your oil when your engine is a little warm,
so plan to get started after the engine has been running.
Some service manuals will tell you to warm the bike up to “operating
temperature” which means you need to actually ride it for a good 30
minutes before changing the oil.

Warning: On air-cooled bikes, do not start it up and let it sit there
idling for 30 minutes. You run the risk of damaging your bike.
