How to? Wheelie

Approach in sit position, throttle slightly open, 1st gear right foot ready-to-brake. Then close the throttle shortly and lean your upper body to the front. The front-fork dives in a little bit.

In the very next moment, synchonized to the rebound of the fork: bring your upper body into an upright position again, pull back on the bar with straight arms. At the same time, open the throttle (=gas-wheelie) or shoot the clutch hard at mid-revs (=clutch wheelie, mostly used with rather small engines or heavy bikes).



Attention: Best use only one (index) finger for any clutch-wheelie, you'll need the other fingers to hold on to the bike. The right foot remains ready-to-brake- it's your life insurance!



After a while of practice, try to get closer to the tipping-point (angle about as on above) by using the throttle and the rear-brake at the same time. the tipping point has been reached as soon as you can ride the wheelie at the same speed for some distance. That is target. Avoid dropping sideways by balancing the bike with your (moving) upper body.

In case you go over the tipping point by accident: stay cool, close the throttle and hiot the rear brake to get the front of the bike down again.

Use some throttle while dropping the front in case you still have got some reverse revs at hand in order to soften the touchdown of the frontwheel.

How to? DONUT

Approach in stand-up position and in first gear with pulled clutch. Maximum (rolling) speed should not be more than 10km/h. Clutch lever should be pulled with only one or 2 finger, in order to be able to hold on tightly to the steering bar.

Bring your body weight to the front, apply brake on the front wheel (also with two fingers maximum) and dynamically release the clucth at the medium revs at the same time in order to get the rear-wheel spinning. Carefully dose braking power in the front in order to allow the brake the bike to still move forward slowly.



Now lean the bike slightly to the inside in order to enter a circling direction.



By now, you'll feel stability through dynamics. The circling continues, as long as the balance between throttle and front-brake is right. The front-wheel should keep rolling slowly at all times.

Keep your body leaning forward in order to put pressure on the front wheel.

Half-circle accomplished! Keep up the balance by balancing throttle. front-brake and body weight. It's all matter of practice.

The circle is almost completed. bring up the bike again straight by using your body weight and slight counter-steering.

Slowly release front-brake, bull the clutch again and close the throttle.

Full donut accomplished, round like an apple-pie.

TIP: Start with straight, rolling burnouts as described in picture 1 and 2 at first. Only once you'll be familiar with that, continue with circling (dinuts) as describes from picture 3 on.

Suhadi Does The Rain Dance

Expert defending champion Md Suhadi Ali Rahmat will be doing the rain dance in Kuantan in the hopes that a wet track will give him a chance to climb up to the top step of the podium. Having watched his two team mates conquer the first 2 rounds of the 2007 season, Suhadi is vowing to do everything he can to end his winning drought. "I was very happy for my team mates when first Fazrul won in Kluang and then Fazli won in Sepang. I finished 3rd in both occasions. I've never had a good track record in Kuantan but I'm hoping this year to change things around," said Suhadi who has not won an Expert race since 2005. "This winning drought is not for a lack of trying," he explained. "In fact, I tried really hard last year to score at least one chequered flag but luck was not on my side. Perhaps the tables would be turned if it rained during the Expert Finals because I believe that my motocross experience would give me an insurmountable advantage on a wet track."

UTM Racing Returns

Their absence in opening leg of the 2007 PETRONAS Sprinta AAM Malaysian Cub Prix Championship was sorely felt. But in Round 2, team UTM Racing returned with yet another 2-man line-up for the new season. Now, both university teams in the Championship are back in the thick of action - UTM Racing and UTHM Motorsports. UTM Racing's riders from 2006 have all moved to other outfits - Md Edzuan Ab Ghani is now with team Motul KMC YY Pang and Md Afiq Azhar has signed up with team PETRONAS Sprinta Ah Hong. This year, team UTM Racing will be participating in the Expert and Novice category through Expert rider Shahrul Nizam Ahmad Tajuddin and Novice rider Md Idris Hassan. Shahrul was equipped with a Yamaha whilst Idris entered the Novice class with a Momos bike. Unfortunately, luck was not on their side in their first outing of the year. Shahrul Nizam Tajuddin's bike gave out after only 3 laps on the track and he was forced into early retirement. Idris also suffered a similar fate despite a strong showing in the early stages of the Novice Final where he was 4th for most of the race. However, mechanical failure struck in the final lap and Idris had to drop back down the order and settle for 7th place. Nevertheless, team UTM Racing has always shown a remarkable ability to bounce back in fine form. With a complete new line-up this season, it may take a while for their new riders to get used to racing on the team's bikes. However, there is no doubt that UTM Racing will soon be back in their race-winning form as demonstrated by Md Afiq Azhar last year.

Minah rempit step out of boyfriends’ shadows

A NEW breed of illegal racers is menacing the streets with their daredevil stunts – and they are not boys, reported Harian Metro.
These minah rempit do everything their biker boyfriends do, including racing for thrills, money and sex.
The paper interviewed two girls, who confessed they started out by being groupies and gradually learned from the mat rempit how to do wheelies and other acrobatic stunts on their machines.
A self-confessed 17-year-old minah rempit, who identified herself as Lia, said she learned the ropes from her boyfriend.
“I borrowed motorcycles from friends and three months later I could speed up to 130kph,” she said, adding that her skills were still not as good as some other girls.
Lia, who is being rehabilitated at the Darul Islah welfare home in Selangor, claimed girls who mix with street racing gangs are likely to be “spoilt” as they eventually become the “trophies” for the mat rempit who wins the race.
“I was nearly a victim after my boyfriend lost a race and I had to spend the night with the victor.
“I refused and coaxed the winner to take my money, instead,” said Lia, who added that she regretted becoming a minah rempit.
A similar tale was told by 21-year-old Jun.
She said within a few weeks of learning to ride a motorcycle, she had plucked up the courage to do wheelies on her boyfriend's Yamaha RXZ.
“It’s just to show off to the boys,” said Jun of the reason why the girls were turning to racing.
> Utusan Malaysia columnist Awang Selamat lamented that many Muslims had questioned the wisdom of the National Fatwa Council, which ruled that Internet investment is haram (forbidden in Islam).
The paper, he claimed, has received numerous e-mails, letters and SMSes on the matter and many of them vented out their anger and criticised the decision.
“They seemed so blinded by money that they failed to see the reasons for the judgement,” the columnist said.
> Kosmo! warned shoppers that a major supermarket chain is duping them by changing the tags on frozen foodstuff that had passed their expiry dates.

Mat Rempit

A Mat Rempit is a Malaysian term for 'an individual who participates in illegal street racing', usually involving underbone motorcycles (Kapcai) or scooters. Minah Rempit can refer to either the female counterpart, or a female companion of a Mat Rempit. Not all Mat Rempits involve in street racing, some of them just ride their motorcycle's dangerously on public roads just for thrills. Mat Rempits usually travel in groups and race in bustling city centres on weekend nights. As of recently, Mat Rempits have been linked to gangsterism, gang robbery, fighting, vandalism, thefts and bullying. Most motorcycles used by the Mat Rempits do not meet standard specifications, or have been modified extensively. Additionally, some Mat Rempit do not have valid licenses, do not pay road taxes, and ride stolen motorcycles.More and more housing estates were turned into racing tracks.It is estimated that there are about 200,000 Mat Rempits in Malaysia.The terms of Mat Rempit also used in Singapore and Indonesia for the same reason.

Lingo and Tricks

1. Wheelie: standing motorcycle on rear wheel while front wheel on the air.
2. Superman : Laying on the bike with both hand still hold the handle.
3. Baring : Laying on the bike where the leg is touching the handle, the inverse way of Superman.
4. Skating : Standing on the motorcycle with a leg on the handle bar and the other on the seat.
5. Cilok : Weaving left and right between cars at high speeds. Wikang: The name wikang is actually a contraction of wheelie belakang in Malay.
6. Korner: Rounding a turn with enough lean to bring the side of the motorcycle in contact with the ground.
7. Pacak: Literally means standing idle like a stick in Malay, the pacak technique is the technique of lifting the motorcycle 90-degrees vertical with the front wheel raised. The pacak technique is almost as same as the wheelie, but is performed when the motorcycle is stationary with the rider standing.
8. Layang : Standing on the motorcycle with 1 leg on the seat and the other 1 must acting like flying and the two hand lift the handle like wheelie.
9. Seret/Sereng : Drag the motorcycles tail while performing the wheelie
10. Twins Kapal Layar : This technique must be done with 2 person.The 1st person must put the left leg at the gear section to control the gear.The right leg at the left back carrier.The 2nd person must put the right leg at the rear brake section to control the velocity of the motorcycle and the left leg at the right back carrier.Then the 2 person must perform a wheelie using that motorcycle together
    
    

Modifications

1. Larger carburetors - One of the most common engine modifications is the installation of larger carburetor to deliver more air-fuel mixture flow to the engine, which increases the engine power at the expense of fuel consumption.
2. Performance exhaust systems - Many Mat Rempits install low restriction custom exhaust systems. These increase power slightly and make the exhaust note more pronounced which is generally preferred by riders.
3. Removed air filters - A typical air filter element for an underbone motorcycle is made of either a paper element of a foam element, which restricts air flow. Furthermore, the air intake duct is often facing backwards. Removing the air filter can not only provide zero restriction for the air flow but also provides 'ram-air effect' which may improve the engine power further.
4. Larger bore - Increasing the engine's bore increases the engine displacement, thus increasing engine power. However, the rebored engines may have shorter service life due to risks of engine overheating and jammed pistons.
5. Cylinder porting - Some 2-stroke Mat Rempits make more transfer ports at the cylinder to deliver more air-fuel-2T (2-stroke lubricant) mixture to the combustion chamber for a significant power increase at the expense of fuel and lubricant consumption.
6. High-lift camshafts - Some Mat Rempits who use 4-stroke motorcycles modify their engine aggressively by using high-lift camshafts for better volumetric efficiency which may significantly increase the engine power but with the risks of the valves hitting the piston.
7. Performance CDI - A capacitor discharge ignition module controls the ignition timing advance for every engine speed. A performance CDI module provides more advanced ignition timing than the standard ones which may increase power and torque, but users of performance CDI modules can only use gasoline with higher octane rating numbers (RON) - commonly RON 97 in Malaysia - due to the risk of detonation.
8. Smaller rims and tyres - A smaller rims will increase the bike acceleration due to smaller size tyre that touches the road but with poorer handling at sharp corners.
9. Removed cover sets, rear lights, etc. - Many Mat Rempits remove components from their bikes for weight reduction, including essential components such as rear brakes and lights.
10. Tinted rear lights - Smoked rear lights, indicators, fog and brake lights to give the motorbike a custom look.
11. Shrunken number plate - Reduceing the size of the number plate for aesthetics.
12. Modified braking system - Some Mat Rempits modify their braking systems for better stopping power. For instance, front drum brakes are replaced with disc brakes, while those who have already got disc brakes replace the stock disc rotors with the larger ones. However, there are some Mat Rempits who remove rear brakes for weight reduction.
    
    

Misconception of Mat Rempit

Most of the public, the media and even politicians may misconception about Mat Rempits. For some of them, Mat Rempit means anyone who riding an underbone motorcycle or low budget motorcycle as most of them belonging to low income group of people. In Indonesia and Singapore, the terms of Mat Rempit usually means motorcycle lover or riders not illegal street racers.

In Malaysia, motorcyclists are fond of zig-zagging/squeezing in and out between other vehicles (cars, lorry, and bus) on the road to overtake them during a traffic jam. It is a normal but irresponsible and dangerous practice. Due to their small sizes, underbone motorcycles and scooters are the fastest forms of transportation in a city with lots of traffic problems. It also been practice in many countries with small motorcycle (underbone or moped) or scooter such as Taiwan, Singapore, Greece, United Kingdom and Japan.

There are a few reasons as to why motorcyclists prefer zig-zagging during traffic jams apart from wanting to arrive at their destinations quickly. The other reasons are the hot weather in Malaysia, smoke from vehicles around them and the engine heat coming from other vehicles. While keep moving will helping them to get fresher air to cold them down. However, they usually cause traffic accidents and other mishaps such as hitting the side mirror of other vehicle.

Beside that many motorcyclist in Malaysia have a bad habit of riding their motorcycle into pedestrian street or wrong way. As their motorcycle is smaller as they threat it like a bicycle. There even some motorcyclists run off the red traffic light as they don’t have patient to wait it turn to green.

There is some who blame on motorcyclist who refuse to use the motorcycle lane which provided in some major roads/highways in Malaysia. However most of the motorcycle lanes are in bad shape due to the lack of maintenance and poor planning before construction. Most the motorcycle lanes are sandy, not level, covered with potholes and flooded even though the weather is dry. The width of most motorcycle lanes is about 2m which is considered too narrow and only half of the width on normal lane on the highways. They have dangerous and sharp curves and corners compare to the main roads and when at night, the motorcycle lane become dangerous as there are many tunnel that some of them are very dark and there are sometimes robbers waiting at the end of the tunnel to rob the motorcyclist.

One good example is the motorcycle lane on the Shah Alam Expressway and Federal Highway. Most of the motorcycle lanes are not provided with streetlights and countless robberies happen on these lanes, especially during late hours when it is dark. It become a trap at night when some culprit work by putting nail on the motorcycle lane, and advertise for replacement tire for motorcycle at a ridiculous price.

Dealing with Mat Rempits

According to some former Mat Rempits, it is very hard to approach the Mat Rempits and bring them to be useful assets to the community, as they are very stubborn. It is due to the fact that most Mat Rempits are often under high influence of drugs (especially marijuana) which was said to give maximum "feel" to them when racing. As a result, they often attack policemen and anyone who tries to stop them, causing the public to label Mat Rempits as "the public enemies".
Therefore, many people criticize the viability of the attempt by Khairy Jamaluddin and Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim to rebrand Mat Rempits as "Mat Cemerlang". This attempt has not only fueled anger among former victims of Mat Rempits whose vehicles were hit by Mat Rempits, but also among former Mat Rempits as well.
Some believe the only way to change Mat Rempit is to provide them with legal sanctioned motor racing tournament such as Malaysian Cub Prix. Some of the successful Malaysian professional motorcycle racers are former Mat Rempits such as Shahrol Yuzy Ahmad Zaini and Wazi Abdul Hamid. According to them, if the Mat Rempits are being brought to legal motorcycle racing tournaments, their talents can be unleashed even to international level. However it was not cheap to enter a legal motorcycle race for the Mat Rempit, therefore some motorcycle racing tournaments such as Malaysian Cub Prix and Pesta Pasti Honda offer subsidies and incentives to newbies.
