Naza Blade 250gtr review

Assalammualaikum 7 selamat sejahtera
hola
ok review for naza blade? after almost a year? seriously. lulz
so, ok, why update now, because one day while i was checking my blog, some fella comment on my old post about my dream bike naza blade. that time, i was noob. he's mistaken the post as a review, but actually that entry is not a review, its my opinion about the bike. he said that there was no info or whatsoever on that and i should research more as an owner. that time, it was waayyy back before i have the bike. and i learned a lot then. ok, main point is i suddenly realised that i have not post any reviews about the bike. yes, there are one post about my first experience handling the bike but not much on details
so here it is.


overall

its a very big & heavy bike. in one glance, it looked like a 600cc or a litre bike
for some people who did not know much about bikes, they will surely thinks its a superbike.
when i was at the shop surveying the bike, blade put next to kawasaki zx10r, boy they looked the same size! and my father's reaction when i show point out that bike he was shocked and was like, besarnya! cari la moto kecik sikit! and he pointed to the cbr650f. lol



meter and handle
the meter is half analog(for rpm) and digital for speedometer, odometer & fuel gauge
i installed handle clip, a bit higher handle position(1 or 1 and half inches higher) for less aggressive riding position, although the reducing strain effect on back, waist and palm is minimal. it still hurt after a while, but better than nothing right? boleh la kurangkan sikit sakit tu. kalau nak lagi best pakai la handle naked, tapi buruk gila lah..
because of the handle clip, the maximum rotate of the handle can go will touch the windshield

tank
the tank is 17 litre. similar to 600-1000cc bike. normal for 250cc is around 15 litre. the tank design is okay i guess. not too fancy, and not too plain. just nice.i dont really know for sure the capacity, but i have tried, the maximum petrol i put in is 11 litres at 2 bar untill it almost spill out.  they said that it have reserve of approx 5 litres of petrol left when the fuel indicator at 1 bar and started to blink.
but still, dalam kalangan motor 250cc, blade la yang paling jarang refuel kalau ride jauh2.

seat
seat dia keras sikit. for both pillion and rider. i have not yet take on any pillion yet, nor i have seated on the pillion seat. but by feeling and pressing both the rider and pillion seat, its pretty much the same. orang pun mmg ckp seat dia keras sikit. the split seat design is very garang looking. under the pillion seat not much of a space. ada 2 lock, roadtax, sepana boleh laras yg kecik dan rantai(utk lock helmet) and thats it. oh dan dah ada bberapa kes seat stuck x boleh bukak sebab jamm dgn barang2 bawah tu/ (pernah terkena kt diri sendiri jugak. at first dah cuak gila & pasrah. thought of nk bwk ke kedai ja buka coverset. lepas ride dgn agressif kt atas jln xrata, last skali boleh bukak. hahaha...) dan ada jugak a few case seat belakang hilang. tertanggal waktu ride, sedar2 dah tak ada. lolz

foot rest
i was told that the foot rest can have 3 different setting. mine is at set at postion 2. just nice for my kind of position. not too lean front, and not too high up(usually for naked). tak pasti lah kan mcmana nak set. ada dlm manual, tp baca sepintas lalu aje.

brake
front have dual disc brake. as i tell you all bikes that are below 500cc (except ZX2R & NSR) only have single disc for front brake. thats why this bike looked like bigger cc bike. and puts some more weights too. the design of the disc just average looking, not fancy.

tyre
tyre is big, but standard for 250cc bike. original stock tyre is MRF. they said this brand not very good. its a standard for stock tyres to be like that. but at least its better than the previous one, shinko. i dont know because i have no other experience riding other bigbikes or knows about tyres. but for me when riding it i felt that the grip is not that good. especially during cornering.im not so good when it comes to handling the bike tbh. especially cornering & cilok2..
while taking corner it felt like as if its going to slide off and fall. idk. mybe its just me.

exhaust
standard exhaust is triangular in shape. sound soo noob. like sewing machine. need to change muffler. v twin engine sound nice la on aftermarket exhaust. im planning to get EJM because its really suitable for blade, good sound and most important of all, one of the cheapest around. luls

engine
v twin engine. got window to check engine oil. no radiator. its oil cooled. which means that it uses the engine oil to cool itself. the oil cooler is positioned as exact as radiator would be placed, but it have no fan.
thats why this bike have issues with plug cap. the heat form the engine is too great for the parts.
ada org advise utk balut plugcap dgn wiring tape utk bagi tahan panas. ada plan nak letak kipas satu.

headlamp signal & tail light
diamond headlight, its dim. tail light not too big, but not too small. just nice. i like the design.

handling
this bike is heavy. very.
for noob like me, i can just say what im feeling. i have no other experience riding other bike to compare to. so here it goes.
its so shiok ma... on highway. on jalan jamm on the other hand, nightmare. tabley cilok, and the engine gets hot fast if slow moving. its a very hot, bulky, heavy bike.
cornering is scary.. i dont know the technique. i have ride for almost a year, yet i still dont know how to corner properly. during cornering i maintained 60kmh or sometimes below(lolz)


so there ya have it... if you want to ask or share anything, dont be shy ok?
jangan malu jangan segan kalau nk tanya or komen ape2.. kita share okeh?

My baby dah habis pantang!!!!!

Assalammualaikum all
this post was meant to be posted last year. well, i got distracted. well here ya'all

so yeaha, its a celebrattion!
moto aku dah habis pantang!!! dah 1st service
technically belum la fully habis sbb baru 820km aada baki 180km utk cecah 1000km, but dah tukar EO so, kira halal la baki 180km tu. so now this bike can go its full capacity



but, for those who knew me, you know what ill do. aku bukan jenis speedfreak. lagi takut laju ade la. jadinya xde la aku nak rembaih smpai full throttle, pederaih smpai 170km/h top speed dia.

aku servis awal ni bkn apa, sbb nak senang free gear. katanya tukar EO yg elok memudahkn free gear. lgpn aku xtau masa memula dia pkai minyak apa, jadi baik aku tuka trus kpd minyak yg berkualiti.

aku pun xde la cadang nk tuka hari tu tp sbb ada geng blade nak dtg ke kepala batas ni nak g kdai moto nak settting moto & survey tayar. alang2 dah mcm rmai yg join aku pun follow je lah. then tu diorg encourage utk servis ksrg, so okaylah. first before diorg smpai, aku tunggu naz sejam lebih. tunggu lg yg len smpai 2 jam lebih. dah la cuaca panas. dahaga. long story shortsemua dah smpai gather kt bigbob cafe lepak jap. laps tu g kdai moto tu.

aku guna silkolene full synthetic, recommend by staff kt AMS motorworks, tmpt yg aku servis tu.
RM60 sebotol(1liter). ptut blade ni pkai dlm 1.5l so sebotol stgh. tgk2 dia pkai smpai habis 2 botol. aik, xbnyk sgt ke? xpelah dia dah siap pun so aku ok jerlah.


now, moto dah servis, dah habis pantang.
where to then?

First experience with NAZA Blade 250gtr

Assalammualaikum all.

for this entry its all about my experience bout me new bike le naza blade 250
Firstly aku nak confess yg aku ni sbnrnye noob gak la psal moto. ada la reseach sikit2. tp tu psl info lah. On riding skill on the other hand also noob. yerp mmg aku dok nek moto kecik tu dari dlu tp aku xpergi jauh. ulang alik g kelas je. xnaik highway, xg jauh2, xpecut. lalu jalan jamm pun dak. so bab speeding, cilok mencilok, mmg zero, i rise my hand up and declare give up siap2. lol
bab moto klac aku jrg gila bwk tp tau la sikit2. xcekap sgt. so sblum cuti tu aku ada la pnjam jap moto membe try testing dlu, bljar guna. guna fz je.

ok nuff on that.
about the bike itslef.
its huge. its big. its heavy. biggest and heaviest bike on its class(250cc). with 17 litre tank and dry mass of approx 180 kg.
correct me if im wrong, but the usual spec for 250 sportsbike is around 160kg and 15 litre tank

sebelum ni on my last port kan aku dah bgtau yg aku letak handle clip. for a higher handle and less aggressive riding postion. even bwk fz pun dlm 10 minit dah rasa lenguh. yg ni lagi la.


At first it was scary. riding an uncomfortable clutched 180 kilo machine is no joke. anything could go wrong anytime. sebelum ni pernah try kwn punya blade 650. baru gear satu clutch xlepas habis pun da rasa agak laju. at that time xberani lg nak masuk gear 2. Doing a U turn is the scariest thing sbb that is how org jatuh bodo for first timer.
bawak slow je kt taman. it was scary bcos at my house all the road is a dead end, xde jalan tembus. and it is very small housing area. cuma ada 3 lorong semua jalan mati. lorong tu is about 60-80 meters je. about 8 semi d house on each side.nak keluar dari situ kena lalu jalan besar yg sibuk. nope, its too risky.

I was told that kena tgk EO(engine oil/minyak itam) level lepas beli sbb selalu kedai letak sikit. i proceed to buy a litre to top up a little. seeing the level of the window it does not show any oil.
Jadi secara naturalnya dia sikit jadi aku tambah je la. letak sikit xjadi apa pun. letak lagi. xnaik pun. letak bnyk. lepas tu br teringat nak check EO level kena tegakkan moto. aiseh dah melebih2 la plak. siap lebih paras full lebih tinggi dari tingkap. aahhh sudah. i was so freaked out. call member dia ckp xpe. tanya kt fesbuk otai2 ckp it is ok. lebih lagi baik dari kurang tp moto akn jd berat sikit. tapi xkan damage moto pun.
phew, thats a relief.

cuba utk DIY nasib baik xfail. huhu

ni la 'tingkap' utk tgk minyak itam tu

after a day training, the next day dah berani sikit. keluar ahad pagi xde org utk round taman..
by then its coming together. but paling susah nak free gear. mmg xberjaya free gear dari awal lg. it is told that it is a common phenomena. after first service and change to certain high quality EO that problem will be no more. 
bila tanya otai2 what to do diorg ckp sruh adjust clutch lever. which i did. yes it worked well

but not for long. bila enjin panas xboleh nak free gear gak. Some of them even suggested to free gear before stopping. which means while slowing down drop gear untill free gear. its hard to do it.
while riding slow, the engine gets hot fast. betul apa org ckp. bila laju sikit kurg. but at that time, im still going 50kmh sbb takut sgt. bahaya, but, sementara nak built up feel, confidence and skill.


gila la bila ada motor ni lain mcm. betul mcm membe aku ckp. kejap2 nak tgk motor.. kejap2 rasa nak bwk motor. haha..

my dream bike. Naza Blade 250

Assalammualaikum & good day people~
for this post im going to talk about my dream bike, which is a 250cc sportsbike.

this is Naza Blade 250

so why do i like it so much? the fact that there are lot of other bikes out there? ok lemme break down fo ya.


price
brand
cc
maintenance
speed
physical looks
overall overview personal reason


PRICE
first and foremost is because it is one of the cheapest bike around. with price of 14k-15k for a 250cc sportsbike, its damn cheap lah. kawa 250, cbr 250 & y25 the price is above 20k lor.

BRAND
The bike is actually korean made, Hyosung.. based on my reading Hyosung have a bit of suzuki technology. it is said the the parts is similar, compatible & interchangeable. Hyosung is licensed to import by NAZA. The hyosung itself is cheap. Bila da bawak masuk msia, oleh NAZA lagilah murah. and it is assmeble here. so that explains the price. 250cc 14k-16k, 650cc 22k-24k.

CC
This bike is a 250cc. might say its a starter sportsbike. for me, i have never ride sportsbike before. but i ride kapcai quite a long time la. 250cc bike is a great start. kita mula dengan kecik dulu. but then again, people said when you start riding a quarter litre bike, you will be wanting more, so better start with a big bike terus la senang. no need upgrade later. yeah maybe that is the case but let future me deal with that later on. as for now, kecik dulu. bigger bikes means bigger money. the maintenance, fuel, roadtax, also you need to maintain higher speed at highway. im not a speedfreak or adrenaline junkies. saja suka2 naik moto besar. oklahmoto ni.

MAINTENANCE
as for the maintenace, 250 should be quite cheap. yes i know, there had been a lot of bad reviews regarding this particular bike. macam2 problem. kalo baca kt forum or group la, mmg bnyk gila yg ngadu. however, there is not always negetive, there is also positve feedback. For some, major problems didnt get them. so i concluded that it depends on your luck la. nasib xbaik, bnyk problem, nasib baik ok je memanjang. The bike also improving. Naza had looked to most of the frequent and common problems and they try to fix and improve it. the periodically service not that expensive, fuel consumption is great, roadtax & insurance not so expensive. basicly its an affordable sportsbike. Due to this bike is cheap and affordable so a lot of ppl who did not have a strong financial, bought it. so later they complain the maintenance is high. it depends on budget la. i hope that this bike will not meragam on me and i can maintain it well according to my budget.

SPEED
for most people speed is the most important thing. for me its not. if i prefer speed i would go for KIPS RR. murah, laju, senang upgrade. tapi bukan nak speed. nak sedap cruise. syok naik moto dlm keadaan r position. nak nampak macho sbb naik sbk. hihi...
but still, this bike can go up to 170kmh. actual speed is lower, but meter dia ni xde la ringan sgt mcm kips or fz. can maintain cruise speed of 120-130kmh easily. no problem. i have read that RR mod boleh kitai je blade standard ni. xtau lah. i dont plan to race. kriss nak potong pun, like i give a damn... org kata beli moto mahal2 bawak slow2 buat apa? sukati akulah, moto aku, sikit xkacau korg pun. lol
at least maintain min speed supaya enjin xpanas oklah.

PHYSICAL LOOKS
The NAZA Blade 250 body is quite big. it looked like 500 or 600 cc bike. as my personal preferance is i like small bike like ninja or cbr. but, as long as it is not so bulky, its ok la. reality is everything about this bike is big. the size is big, it looked like bigger cc bikes, the sound is loud, everything is big. i prefer the fairing one compared to naked. mula2 dulu rasa mcm huduh gila lampu sebijik bulat kt depan. tapi lama2 nmpak mcm okay. tambah pulak with the new facelift, more streamlined design & improve headlamp design. jadi lagi lawa. gua jatuh cinta terus beb. mmg dok nampak ni je la.

OVERALL CONCLUSION AND PERSONAL OPINION
As a conclusion blade 250 is a good bike. its suited for me. cheap, quite reliable, quite easy to maintain with a few minor porblems. walaupun sbnrnya ak lg minat kalo moto tu bersaiz lebih kecik & bunyi lg slow, tp xpe la. i can live with minor thing like that. also i hope that it is not a hot bike. jadi xde la nak ilang sgt mcm fz & rr. parking, letak lock berkualiti, mahal skit, xde la risau nak tinggal dah.  hopefully xla ilang. the fuel consumption is good, top speed ok, maintenance so-so, hehe. i love it man! XD
aku mmg nak sgt pkai moto besar ni cepat2. xsaba dah. thats why amek naza nih. murah. if long term, then should be like ninja 250 or y25 or even ER6. tapi dah xsabar sgt dah, sangap nak pakai sgt2 dah. head over heels for blade.

sekian dari saya yang noob. kalau ada salah tolong tunjukkan & minta maaf atas kekhilafan. thanks again~

p/s: there are other cheap 250cc bikes out there like MEGELLI 250r, SYM t2 250i, REDZA velocita 250.
