    Question Honda TMX 155

    Hello, fellow riders!

    I am a newbie from Abra, somewhere in Northern Luzon and I just bought my TMX 155 a week ago. I intend to use this bike as standalone, that is, without a side car. What sort of modifications can you suggest for my bike? Can you give me some tips on the proper break-in of this kind of motorcycle?

    I have included pics of my bike for you to see......

    Lastly, my bike seems to be having a hard time running at its gear specific speed (i.e 1st gear 0-30 kms, 2nd gear 30-60 kms, 3rd gear 60-90 kms etc.) Because for 1st gear I can only reach 10 and for 2nd gear only 30? Why is it like that? Does it have anything to do with changing the front and rear sprockets?

    My motorcycle is a TMX155. No engine modifications. Nagchange lang ako ng gear sprockets: 16T front, 38T rear, and I'm using Dunlop lowprofile tires 80/80-17 front and rear. Oil that I am using now is CASTROL ACTIV PREMIUM 20W-50 4T. Ngayong ko lang kasi po napansin ang oil deposit dito. I removed it before, but after using my motorcycle, may deposit ng oil ulit. Do I need to bring in my motorcycle to the shop for some repairs or adjustment/s?

    I suggest you have a qualified Honda mechanic to have a look at your carburetor. Just to be sure. Just my two cents worth.

    I suggest that you have a qualified Honda mechanic take a look at your carburetor. That leak looks nasty. Just my two cents worth. Keep the faith.

    convertion

    sir, ano ang pinag kaiba ng TMX 155 sa contact point at CDI in terms of speed, RPM and Power?

    Puwede po ba i convert yung contact point sa CDI? is it practical?

    I always liked the tmx to turn into a raked chopper. Wider rear wheel and tires, mono seat, substantial rake and extended fork plus monkey bars or straight handles - perfect Pinoy chopper!

    Re: Honda TMX 155

    Sir...if your thinking of modifying your TMX to a chopper type or cruiser type, you could try changing the following:
    1. Rear Wheel:
    Ang typical na itsura ng chopper or Cruiser ay medyo nakatingala. So bringing down the rear or Raising the Front would be your choice without changing the forks. Still, I prefer Lowering the Rear.... Change the 17" rim to something like 16"x2.5 or 15"x2.5.
    With 2.5 rim width may option ka to use a 110mm or 120mm or 130mm width na Tire. BUT TAKE NOTE KUNG DI NA SASABIT SA STOCK SWINGARM MO...

    2. Rear Shocks:
    Another idea would be to lower the current shocks by using the underbone shocks...you could try the 290mm or the 300mm (bolt hole to bolt hole length)

    3. Front Headlights:
    Change to 7" dia. Round Headlights

    4. Optional: Lower the Carrier rack sa likod
    5. Optional: Install "Sissy bar" or "Passenger Backrest bracket"
    6. Optional: Convert the front drum to Disc brake

    Sorry mitanca... ngayon ko lng nabalikan tong thread na ito.
    Anyway, if your question is sitll standing... here's my reply:

    CARRIER RACK
    Stock carrier rack


    Now by saying..."Lowering the Carrier rack", i mean this:

    ang ginawa ko sa stock carrier ay binaligtad ko lang at pinatabas
    ko sa welding shop then did some welding. Ginawa ko to para maiba
    lang yung rack ko at ng maka-accomodate pa ako ng sissy bar or
    passenger backrest.

    UNDERBONE SHOCKS
    Yung Underbone shocks that I was referring to was about the EIKO
    SHOCKS I bought intended normally para dun sa mga underbone but
    by the looks of it magkasingbilog lang ito sa stock na shocks except
    for the length dahil 290mm ang bolthole length nito compared sa stock na 310mm ang bolthole length nito.

    BACKREST
    From time to time, I switch types of backrests depending on my needs...pag kailangan ng malaking space sa kargahan I use the backrest from "Sinski cruiser"...most of the time I use the backrest
    from my old "Hyosung cruiser"... may madami ka pang sources for the backrests.....lalo na yung mga nagmodify ng mga cruisers nila
    na ayaw mag backrest, you have those from a "Kawasaki Eliminator175", "MotorstarPredator150", "LifanCyclone150"... plus many more...maghanap ka lang.

    HYOSUNG CRUISEII backrest


    SINSKI backrest
