Extend Payday Loans and CSO Loans?
You have 3 options when it comes to repaying your payday advance loans and CSO loans:
Payment in Full: First is to pay off the loan in full when your next payday arrives.
Extension: If for whatever reason you cannot make your loan repayment in full on your first payday, you may extend your loan and pay only the fees which are due on your first payday. Your loan will then carry over until your next pay cycle at which time your principal and new loan fees are due. The availability of an extension is subject to approval by CashNetUSA and individual state requirements. Extensions are not available in all states.
Partial Payment: If you are unable to make your full payment, you may also pay off the fees on your loan and pay some of the principal of the loan on your first payday. This partial payment of your principal on your first payday will lower the outstanding principal on your loan. Since the loan principal you owe is now lower, the amount of your loans fees will also be lower as a result of your partial payment. Your remaining loan principal and fees will be due at the end of your next pay cycle. payday advance loans and CSO Loans extensions are not available in all states.

You might be asked several questions regarding your driving record. For example, you might be asked how many car accidents you have been involved in, which often happen on big highway systems like the Pennsylvania Turnpike, how many points you have on your driver's license, etc
Emergency Cash Loans
Fast cash loans, also known as payday advance loans, are very short term loans to provide you with emergency cash in situations where there appears to be no other solution. You are able to borrow up to $1000 for a period of between one and four weeks when you will need to pay it back on the agreed date. The date you will agree with the lender will be on the same day as your next paycheck arrives. They are a truly unique type of loan that are only offered by specialist lenders, they do not require a credit check or any faxed documents for you to be accepted for your cash advance.
What can I spend my cash advance on?
You can use a cash advance for any reason you could need Fast cash loans.

Either way a cash advance loan can be used for either of these purposes. In fact, if you're going on vacation and you don't quite have enough spending money for your time away you could consider applying for a cash advance loan to help pay for this.
Whole life insurance
Whole life insurance is a great investment--for the insurance agent who wants to sell it to you. If he can get you to believe that it would be a good investment for you, he will be a richer man by far. For you, trusting
life insurance as something that can help you out when you retire, or to borrow against now, is a bad idea according to many financial experts. Life insurance provides for your burial and financial needs for your loved ones, if you die, but is not a good investment.Suze Orman, Dave Ramsey, and many other financial experts are against whole life insurance period. Many would support term life insurance instead. They are especially against it as an investment.
What exactly is whole life insurance? What is term insurance? Why are some financial experts so against whole life insurance period and especially against it as an investment?
Whole life insurance, which is also called permanent insurance and universal insurance, is insurance that will cover you for the rest of your life. Term insurance will cover you for a particular number of years--such as 5 to 30. The premiums with term insurance usually will remain the same for the term of the insurance. If you want insurance after that period of time, however, you can expect your rates to go up. With whole life insurance a portion of your premium will go toward the insurance cost of the death benefit. Another portion will go toward the savings in your policy. That money will accumulate and increase over time.
PAYDAY LOANS
Payday Loan are a quick and easy way to get cash when needed, especially in an emergency. For example if you need to pay to have your car repaired or have bills that need payment immediately using a payday loan can be an effective way to get the funds you need. These loans are called 'Payday loans' as generally they are short term loans offered to individuals that have a job, but need a rapid loan before their payday arrives. The payday loan is usually expected to be paid back in full when the individual receives their salary, although there is usually a 30 day period to make the repayment.
You can usually get pay day loans between £80 and £1,000, and this can often be in your account within a day. When you apply for a loan, it is usually required that you have a job (you may need to provide a payslip) and a bank account, though terms can vary for each lender. Use the table below to compare payday loans online. Which Way to Pay gives you information on terms, the amount available for individual payday loans, required identification and whether you need a bank account.

BMW announces three two-car teams for 2012 DTM series
Touring car racing fans are eagerly anticipating the return of BMW to the DTM series. The Bavarian automaker last competed in DTM (or its progenitors, anyway) a whopping 18 years ago, but late last year announced it would return to the German touring car series in 2012. Now it has revealed the means to that end.
Rather than field its own entries, BMW will be supplying the vehicles and factory support for three independent teams: BMW Team RBM, BMW Team Schnitzer and Reinhold Motorsport GmbH. Both RBM and Schnitzer have a longstanding relationship with BMW Motorsport, while Reinhold is a completely new outfit. Each of the teams will be fielding two of the new M3 DTMs that are currently under development.
The move to DTM comes on the back of some big shakeups in BMW’s racing program. Although it pulled out of Formula One two years ago, and eliminated its works World Touring Car Championship effort at the end of last year, it has recently pitched the Mini division into the WRC with Prodrive and launched the DTM program to pick up where it left off in the WTCC.

PRESS RELEASE:
BMW Motorsport presents the teams for its DTM project.
BMW Motorsport heralds a new era on its way entering the DTM. Development of the car has been running at full speed in Munich for some months now, as has the central preparation for the logistics and assembly of the race cars. Three teams, each lining up with two BMW M3 DTM cars, will be responsible for the races themselves.
BMW Motorsport has enjoyed great success in production car racing in the past with both BMW Team RBM and BMW Team Schnitzer, and all those involved are hungry for more of the same. In Reinhold Motorsport GmbH they are joined by a new team still in its fledgling stage, but which boasts individual members with a vast wealth of motorsport experience.
Mario Theissen, BMW Motorsport Director, says: “In recent months we have worked very intensely on the DTM project. The agreement with the teams was of paramount importance. We were pleased with the high level of interest and numerous applications and presentations received from a number of professional teams. The concepts presented by BMW Team RBM, BMW Team Schnitzer and Reinhold Motorsport GmbH ultimately convinced us. This is an excellent team line-up for BMW. For us, it is important that all three teams have absolute equal rights. We are looking forward to cooperating over the coming years – and hope to enjoy great success together.”
Bart Mampaey, Team Manager of BMW Team RBM, says: “The DTM is one of the toughest and the most popular racing series in the world for production cars. From a sporting point of view this poses a great challenge – but an appetizing one. We are honoured to be able to continue our successful cooperation with BMW Motorsport, which has yielded many WTCC titles, in the DTM. We still have a lot of work ahead of us over the coming months, and are now looking forward to getting to grips with the project.”
Stefan Reinhold, founder of Reinhold Motorsport GmbH, says: “In April last year, BMW announced its intention to compete in the DTM. From this day on, we have always wanted to be a part of this project. Shortly after the announcement, we presented our concept to BMW in Munich, and started to work on meeting the prerequisites for any potential cooperation. We are very proud to have been given the nod. To be part of the BMW Motorsport family with immediate effect and to strive for DTM success together is simply fantastic. We can hardly wait to get started and to vindicate the huge amount of trust BMW has placed in us.”
Charly Lamm, Team Manager of BMW Team Schnitzer, adds: “We are really looking forward to tackling the DTM project together with BMW. Schnitzer Motorsport has enjoyed a successful past in the DTM and achieved many victories together with BMW. However, past success is no guarantee that we will also be victorious in the future. The bar is set really high in DTM, and our preparations will be intensive to meet this challenge. Every team is highly motivated and the anticipation is mounting every day as we get closer to the start of the 2012 DTM season.”
BMW Team Schnitzer will run two BMW M3 GT cars for BMW Motorsport at the major endurance races in Europe and Asia. BMW Team RBM is involved in BMW customer racing projects, including the development of the BMW 320 TC and the further development of the BMW Z4 GT3.
Mario Theissen says: “While the preparation for this year’s involvement on the endurance racing circuit with the BMW M3 GT is in its final phase, the DTM project has picked up pace over the past few months. In naming the teams, we have taken the next step. As well as developing the car, it is now a matter of assigning tasks and establishing structures and processes. The cooperation between BMW Motorsport and the teams, as well as that between the team bases and the race track, must be well established. Only then will we make a statement regarding the driving line-up.”
BMW Team RBM in profile.
In 2012, BMW Team RBM will compete in the DTM with three world championship titles to its name. Under the leadership of Team Manager Bart Mampaey, the team from Mechelen, Belgium, not only won the 2004 European Touring Car Championship with Andy Priaulx at the wheel, but also proved to be the team to beat in the World Championship…
BMW Team RBM in profile.
In 2005, 2006 and 2007 the celebrations after the final WTCC race in Macau all took place in front of the RBM garage. Bart Mampaey is now looking forward to the DTM. “Competing in the DTM will be a big challenge for our team,” he says. “We are delighted that BMW is putting its faith in us again. We will use the time leading up to the first race to prepare as well as possible. The whole team is extremely motivated and hungry to get on with the development work. It is fantastic to be on board right from the start when a manufacturer like BMW launches this kind of project. We have a lot of hard work ahead of us, as the standards in the DTM are extremely high.”
Efficiency is an important factor in daily work for BMW Team RBM. Mampaey is constantly striving to use time and resources efficiently, in order to extract the full potential of the car. The team profits from the infrastructure of the BMW dealership, which the Mampaey family manages under the name JUMA. Synergies and allows RBM to concentrate on the basics: the performance on the race track.
JUMA stands for Julian Mampaey. Today’s RBM boss inherited his love of motor sport from his father. The JUMA team made a name for itself in the 1970s and 1980s, claiming three overall victories for BMW at the Spa-Francorchamps 24-hour race. Nine years after the final JUMA race, Bart Mampaey stepped into his father’s footsteps in 1995. At first, RBM was responsible for the cars in the BMW Compact Cup in Belgium. Soon after that, the Mampaey family celebrated a successful comeback at Spa: the Group N one-two in the 1997 24-hour race was followed by overall victory with the BMW 318i one year later. This was also the last overall victory for BMW to date at the “Ardennes Rollercoaster”.
RBM sent a BMW 320i to the European Touring Car Championship for BMW Belgium for the first time in 2002. One year later the team appeared for the first time in the colours of BMW Great Britain, and Priaulx was signed up to drive. After a year gaining experience in 2003, RBM caused a sensation in 2004 when Priaulx claimed the ETCC title in Dubai. Three World Championship titles show categorically that this victory was not a flash in the pan for Mampaey and his crew.
“A change of scenery will do us good, particularly when we have the prospect of lining up in a successful series like the DTM,” Mampaey says. “Having won three World Championship titles, everyone in the team is looking forward to seeing how we fair against the other teams in the DTM.”
Back to the future.
Back to the future: this could be the motto of BMW Team Schnitzer for the 2012 DTM season. Charly Lamm’s team sported BMW colours in this series back in the 1980s and 1990s – and with great success. A Schnitzer driver crossed the finish line in first place in a BMW M3 on 17 occasions, and the team also claimed eight pole positions and set 18 fastest laps.
BMW Team Schnitzer’s greatest success in the DTM came in its very first season, when Roberto Ravaglia won the 1989 drivers’ title for the team from Freilassing. BMW Team Schnitzer will make its DTM comeback in 2012, almost 20 years after its last victory in Hockenheim on 11th October 1992.
“We lined up with the BMW M3 in the DTM for the first time in 1989, and were able to win the title with Roberto Ravaglia at the first attempt,” Lamm recalls. “The four seasons up to 1992 were a great time, with spectacular and thrilling races, which will always have a special place in the history of Schnitzer. Even back then, the DTM was extremely popular in Germany. It is now almost 20 years since our last DTM race. We are well aware that the series has changed dramatically. The level of competition is extremely high and the series has a far more international flavour to it. As a result, rookies like us face a huge challenge. However, we will approach the task in hand with great verve.”
During the break from the DTM, the Schnitzer team continued to line up for BMW, adding many new chapters to the brand’s motorsport success story. In 1999 it claimed overall victory at the legendary Le Mans 24 Hours (FR) with the BMW V12 LMR prototype. In 2001, BMW Team Schnitzer won the drivers’, team and manufacturers’ titles in the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) with the BMW M3 GTR.
The team also has a very special relationship with the legendary 24-hour race at the Nürburgring-Nordschleife (DE). BMW Team Schnitzer finished as overall winner in the “Green Hell” in 1989, 1990, 2004, 2005 and 2010, making it one of the most successful teams in the history of this classic race. Schnitzer also enjoyed success after success in the European Touring Car Championship between 2002 and 2004, as well as the World Touring Car Championship between 2005 and 2009. The team’s drivers crossed the finish line as winners on 45 occasions in the European and World Championships.
In the last 50 years, Schnitzer has won 16 championships with BMW – including the 1987 World Touring Car Championship, three European Touring Car Championships, and championships in Germany, England, Italy, Japan and South East Asia.
Lamm adds: “We will attempt to readapt to the DTM as quickly as possible. We have great respect for the current manufacturers and teams in the DTM. They have set the bar very high. From now on we will be working on equalling, or even surpassing, the standards they have set as soon as possible.”
“Our greatest asset is definitely the people in our team”.
Stefan Reinhold’s team, which will line up at BMW’s DTM comeback in 2012, may be a newcomer to the series – but its members are by no means lacking experience. The team’s great strengths are its individual know-how and the precise way in which it uses each member’s skills.
“The crew comes from all areas of professional motor racing,” Reinhold explains. “From GT racing and the World Rally Championship, as well as DTM and Formula One. Almost all the team members have experience gained in several fields of motorsport. They are used to working at the highest level. Clear communication and the optimal use of experience and resources, as well as uncompromising commitment, are fundamental attributes of the team. Our greatest asset is definitely the people in our team.”
The team structure started with a blank sheet of paper. Reinhold took the time to analyse the individual strengths of his crew and used this as a basis to assemble his team step by step. By the start of 2012, 25 engineers and technicians will be involved in the DTM project.
Reinhold himself has Formula One and GT racing experience to his name and has been toying with the idea of launching his own racing team for a long time. When BMW announced its return to DTM this idea took shape and work began on the conception. “In late summer 2010 we started with the concrete planning and then applied to BMW with our concept in the autumn,” Reinhold recalls. “The fact that we won BMW Motorsport over with our concept is the perfect reward for the hard work we put in during this phase.”
The team has moved into headquarters in Niederzissen. The proximity to the Nürburgring is not the only reason for motor racing being omnipresent on the team’s premises, as its former tenant was also a prominent name in motorsport: the Zakspeed team previously operated from this site and has now rented the facilities out to Reinhold.
Over the coming months, Reinhold and his team will work at full speed on the team structure in order to be ready for the first test drive with the BMW M3 DTM. “Everything from the washers to the semi-trailer will be new in our team,” says Reinhold. “However, I do not by any means see this as a disadvantage. We are very keen to take on the established DTM teams and, along with our partner BMW, to be competitive as soon as possible. “
First Drive: 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class
We usually see women behind the wheel of the Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class. Who can blame them? It’s a cute little car. The original SLK debuted in 1996 with a four-cylinder powerplant and all of 136 ponies. What it lacked in the motivation department it made up for with its Vario-roof retractable hardtop. Not since the 1957 Ford Skyliner could a car stop so much traffic while parked.
The SLK gained some testosterone with its first facelift in 2000. While the exterior was still rather tame, the chick car jokes ceased in 2001 with the introduction of the 354-horsepower SLK 32 AMG.
Things continued to get better with the all-new 2004 edition and its sleeker styling that paid homage to Mercedes’ Formula One designs and the beastly McMerc SLR. The reality that AMG could stuff its hand-built 5.4-liter V8 under the hood made the second-generation SLK a serious performance car.
For 2012, the SLK officially begins its third generation, and you can see the difference from 100 yards. Especially from the front view, the roadster looks more mature and substantial. The split-grill design reconstitutes the 190 SL’s design from the late 1950s in a handsome, modern manner. The bolder aesthetics continue in the rear, which features large arches over the rear wheels and LED taillamps. And it keeps getting better on the inside…
Inside, the modernized retro theme continues, with our SLK350 tester’s circular vent outlets ported through the handsomely contoured dash covered in hand-stitched Nappa leather (like the SLS AMG). Round analog gauges flank a center digital display in the main binnacle, while a bright, seven-inch LCD handles navigation as well as manipulating the climate control and infotainment systems.
While the interior and exterior are mostly new, from an engineering standpoint, the third generation seems more like a Gen 2.5.5; a facelift of the 2008 facelift. The 2012 SLK rides on the same 95.7-inch wheelbase. It’s about an inch longer and an inch wider (overall width and track), and the tidy dimensions help this car stay true to what SLK stands for: Sportlich (sporty), Leicht (light) and Kompakt (compact).
Engines are familiar to fans of the Three-Pointed Star. In the States, we will eventually get two of three available engines for the new SLK: the 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and the naturally-aspirated 3.5-liter V6. Four-cylinder models will be called the SLK250, while V6 models gets the SLK350 badge. For 2012, both engines gain direct fuel injection in a nod to efficiency. Horsepower, torque and preliminary estimated miles per gallon figures are 201, 229 pound-feet, and 23/31 for the 1.8-liter engine and 302, 273 lb-ft., and 20/29 for the uprated V6. On this trip, only the six-cylinder SLK350 was available for us to drive, as it will be the only model offered when the SLK goes on sale in June. The SLK250 is scheduled for availability in the U.S. later in the model year.
Both engines run their torque through an updated seven-speed automatic modified to accommodate a new fuel-saving start/stop functionality. Unfortunately, cars coming to the USA won’t be getting the latter feature – at least for the moment. That’s too bad, given where fuel prices are trending and the system’s relative smoothness. Mercedes-Benz engineers use the crankshaft position sensor to know which cylinder has stopped closest to the optimum position for re-starting the engine. The engine control module then re-fires that cylinder first, an action that helps smooth out and quicken the re-start event.
To prepare for our drive, we needed to store two large duffle bags and wondered how much room our SLK350’s trunk provided. Mercedes-Benz literature claims 6.4 cubic feet with the roof lowered and 10.1 cubes with the roof raised. Since we would soon be driving from sea level through the clouds to the observatory at Teide National Park, some 7,800 feet above the Atlantic in Spain’s canary Islands, the top would be down and up depending on the precipitation (or a lack thereof). The trunk easily swallowed two large backpacks and a camera case with the roof stowed. Nifty.
The SLK’s hallmark retractable hardtop comes in three varieties: solid steel panels, a tinted roof section or with Benz’s trick new Magic Sky Control electrochromatic roof section. The later roof’s trick is that the transparent panel can shift its tint from almost clear to heavily darkened.
The glass section is a glass-matrix polymer-glass sandwich in which nearly microscopic rectangular particles are suspended in carrier-type fluid. When a small electrical charge is put through the polymer layer, the particles obediently arrange themselves in a vertical orientation, letting light pass through mostly unencumbered. When the juice is cut via a switch on the windshield header, the particles rotate 45-degrees, blocking most of the light (and heat) attempting to pass through. The shift requires nary a second. (Geek Note: Magic Sky Control uses a similar principle to Delphi’s Magnetic Ride Control dampers that control the flow path of damper fluid.)
When it came time to press the starter button and head for the observatory, temperatures were mild, and low clouds hung over our oceanfront starting point. With rain threatening, it neither felt nor looked like top-down driving weather, so the top stayed in place.
The imperfect roads on Tenerife presented a less-than-ideal surface that worked to shake and rattle the SLK. It accomplished neither. The roadster easily absorbed the punishment with the aplomb of a true fixed-roof coupe. Interior noise levels (engine, road and wind) were well subdued, and the exhaust note of the V6 sounded sportier than the same mill in the C-Class sedan. No surprise there, but still a welcome discovery.
Short-wheelbase cars can feel skittish, but the SLK simply doesn’t. Even at full throttle with every foot-pound of torque twisting the rear half shafts, the SLK350 felt unshakable and secure.
As we left the island’s primary roads for the twisties ascending the extinct volcano’s walls to the observatory, the SLK’s locked-down feeling continued. Our route took us into the clouds that were heavy with moisture and the narrow roads turned slick. It seemed that the entire ride up the mountain was a Falling Rock Zone, and plenty of rocks littered the asphalt – like we needed more excitement.
Even running uphill, the 302-hp six-cylinder had plenty of power in reserve. Thinking that leaving the electronic stability control in the ‘On’ position was a good idea, we’d often feel it working to keep the SLK in line. As expected, it immediately curbed any oversteer, but did so in a way that wasn’t retaliatory – it simply chided for being overexuberant.
What was unexpected was the so-called torque-vectoring function of the Electronic Stability Control. When diving into a corner under braking, we’re trained to expect a certain amount understeer – particular from Mercedes. The SLK senses the understeer and helps to mitigate it by adding a measured amount of braking to the inside rear wheel, helping to increase the car’s yaw rate and make it rotate more easily.
We’ll have to wait for the AMG-tuned version of the SLK to arrive before this chassis can be completely exploited, but indications are good thus far. Unfortunately, the ESC on the SLK350 cannot be completely disabled. When the dash switch is toggled off, the tires will spin to aid acceleration on snow or through mud, but any yaw immediately triggers a throttle intervention. When the AMG version arrives, expect an option to completely shut down the ESC.
Even with ESC on, the SLK remained a remarkably fun steer. The traditional hydraulic rack-and-pinion box had a natural on-center feel. Rolling off of center, starting at about 5 degrees, the box cranks the wheels with a constant ratio. At 100 degrees of steering angle – just beyond a quarter turn and just before your arms get crossed up – the ratio increases and the wheels turn more quickly. This is a huge help on roads that twist enough that you spend as much time looking out the side glass as the windshield. On the roads of Tenerife, we rarely had to shuffle the wheel or get our arms completely crossed-up.
Somewhere north of 6,000 feet we broke through the clouds and the top went down. It was chilly enough for us to turn on the Airscarf, a feature that blows warm air on your neck. We also put up the Airguide windstop. With the heater cranked up, we remained warm in the cabin, and buffeting was kept to a minimum.
After shooting some photos, we headed back down the mountain. This strained the brakes, as evidenced by the soft pedal and burning odor. However, the Continental SportContact5 tires (225/40R18 front and 245/35/R18 rear) – known for their ability to shed speed with authority – never faltered. The average SLK driver probably isn’t going to give their drop-top the same workout, so for daily duty, the standard stoppers should do nicely.
In all, the 2012 SLK’s driving experience was a good one. It did, however, leave us wondering about a few things. First, we’re looking forward to some time behind the wheel of the lighter SLK250. The tonnage is down by more than 100 pounds and weight distribution should be closer to 50/50. The SLK350’s smaller-engined sibling could end up being the better of the two offerings – that is, until the V8 AMG model enters the mix. We’ll let you know as soon as we get the chance to try them out.

CAMPUR BENSIN DENGAN ETANOL
Pada buku petunjuk pemakaian / penggunaan motor baru terdapat anjuran penggunaan bahan bakar ber-oktan 92 (PERTAMAX), sedangkan bahan bakar yang sering kita pakai adalah bahan bakar tipe premium yang ber-oktan 88. Perbedaan harga dari keduan tipe bahan bakar tersebut sangatlah jauh premium Rp 4.500/l sedangkan Pertamax Rp7.850,-. Bagaimana cara kita mengatasi masalah tersebut?????
Mari kita buat oktan Premium setara Pertamax yang beroktan 92 maupun pertamax plus yang beroktan 95, bagaimana caranya?. Kita beli etanol di toko kimia dekat rumah anda 1 litarnya berkisar Rp 9.000,- dan nilai oktan dari etanol adalah 117.
Untuk membuat premium setara pertamax 92 caranya adalah kita buat campuran premium 85% dan etanol 15%. Rumusnya adalah (85%xoktan premium)+(15%xoktan etanol)=oktan campuran premium dan etanol, mari kita berhitung (85%x88)+(15%x117)=92.
Untuk membuat premium setara pertamax Plus 95 caranya adalah kita buat campuran premium 75% dan etanol 25%. Rumusnya adalah (75%xoktan premium)+(25%xoktan etanol)=oktan campuran premium dan etanol, mari kita berhitung (75%x88)+(25%x117)=95.
Sebisa mungkin campuran etanol tidak melebihi 30%, karena mesin akan kering, panas dan akan cepat overheat.
Kelebihan dari etanol selain dari bahan alami dan membuat pembakaran di dalam mesin menjadi sempurna, etanol juga menekan emisi gas buang yang di hasilkan dari proses pembakaran mesin.
Selain kelebihan Etanol juga mempunyai kekurangan, karena oktannya sangat tinggi etanol gampang menguap ke udara dan mudah mengikat air. Oleh sebab itu bagi anda yang ingin mengaplikasi pada motor harian, sering - seringlah mengontrol karburator motor anda

Setting Roller CVT, Matik SUZUKI
Kebanyakan pemilik matik SUZUKI bingung, bagaimana caranya menyeting kendaraanya agar lebih responsif. Karena kendaraannya di gunakan sehari - hari di perkotaan dan berkendara secara STOP & GO. Jika pada motor bebek (cup)perubahan yang di lakukan agar motor lebih responsif sangat, gampang cukup menaikkan atau membesarkan gir belakang motor di jamin lebih responsif. Bagaimana jika pada motor matik, apa yang perlu di modifikasi agar motor lebih responsif tampa merubah setelan mesin.???????Setelah berdiskusi dengan mekanik SUZUKI Jember bernama Gusti Johan Hidayat, beliau menyarankan untuk menyeting ulang roller CVT. Menurut beliau untuk menyeting roller CVT matik harus melihat karakter jalan yang sering di lalui, jika matik di sering gunakan pada daerah perkotaan yang menuntut motor STOP & GO karena banyaknya lampu merah, akang dayat menyarankan untuk mengganti roller dengan yang lebih ringan, sebaliknya jika motor sering di gunakan untuk touring atau perjalanan luar kota sebaiknya roller di ganti dengan yang lebih berat untuk mengejar top speed.

Merawat Bearing/laher agar awet
Secara sistem pelumasan Bearing dibagi dua yaitu bearing yang di lumasi oleh grease, contohnya bearing roda dan bearing yang dilumasi langsung secara kontinyu oleh oli, contohnya bearing as-kruk pada mesin. Untuk bearing yang dilumasi oleh oli(didalam mesin) tidak akan kami bahas, karena tidak memerlukan perawatan. Nah, yang akan kita bahas adalah bearing yang berada di luar mesin.
Mengapa kita akan membahas perawatan bearing, karena bearing suatu part yang sering di lupakan perawatannya oleh pemilik kendaraan bermotor. Padahal tugas dari bearing sangat vital dan menentukan keseimbangan dari laju kendaraan itu sendiri.
Apabila bearing tidak di rawat dengan baik akan mengakibatkan :
1. Keseimbangan laju roda akan kacau dan bisa - bisa akan mengakibatkan kecelakaan
2. Rusaknya part rem cakram yang di akibatkan oleh tidak stabilnya putaran roda
3. Getaran yang berlebihan pada roda dan akan di teruskan ke seluruh bodi kendaraan
4. Dll
Bagaimanakah caranya agar bearing roda kendaraan kita awet?
Inilah hal - hal yang perlu di perhatikan agar bearing kita awet:
1. Pada waktu pemasangan bearing baru, usahakan jangan mengelap grease yang ada pada bearing, karena grease yang ada pada bearing baru sudah di formulasikan khusus untuk bearing.
2. Usahakan jangan menambah grease secara berlebihan, karena penambahan grease yang berlebihan akan mengakibatkan menumpukan grease dan lama kelamaan grease akan mengundang kotoran untuk masuk ke dalam bearing.
3. Jangan sekali - kali membuka kedua penutup bearing, apabila akan menambahkan grease usahakan membuka penutup bearing pada sebelah bagian saja. Dan pasang bearing yang telah terbuka penutupnya menghadap ke dalam dan yang masih lengkap dengan penutupnya menghadap keluar, agar air hujan yang mengandung asam tidak masuk ke dalam bearing.
4. Pada saat berkendara usahakan seminimal mungkin untuk tidak melindas jalanan yang berlobang, karena akan mempercepat umur bearing.
5. Apabila di salah satu bearing mengalami kerusakan/oblak, gantilah bearing secara bersamaan di kedua sisinya.

Setting Roller CVT, Matik SUZUKI
Kebanyakan pemilik matik SUZUKI bingung, bagaimana caranya menyeting kendaraanya agar lebih responsif. Karena kendaraannya di gunakan sehari - hari di perkotaan dan berkendara secara STOP & GO. Jika pada motor bebek (cup)perubahan yang di lakukan agar motor lebih responsif sangat, gampang cukup menaikkan atau membesarkan gir belakang motor di jamin lebih responsif. Bagaimana jika pada motor matik, apa yang perlu di modifikasi agar motor lebih responsif tampa merubah setelan mesin.???????Setelah berdiskusi dengan mekanik SUZUKI Jember bernama Gusti Johan Hidayat, beliau menyarankan untuk menyeting ulang roller CVT.

Obat keSATRIA suka Nembak
Bagi pemilik SUZUKI Satria Fu 150 yang suka nembak dari knalpot, jangan bingung dan menyalahkan pabrik menganggap motor cacat produksi. Coba cek dan perbaiki satu persatu part ini secara berurutan busi, selang PAIR dan Pilot Jet, karena bisasanya penyebab dari nembaknya knalpot di sebabkan oleh komponen berikut:
1. BUSI
Coba cek busi, apakah api busi masih baik apa sudah setengah rusak. Lebih baik ganti busi setiap 7.500km. Apabila masih baik, atur kerenggangan busi sesuai standar pabrik 0,7-0,8mm. Karena apabila busi setengah mati/rusak, penyalaan api oleh busi di ruang bakar tidak akan maksimal dan akan terjadi suara nembak di knalpot.
2. PAIR ( Pulsed-secondary AIR-injection System )
Sebenarnya part ini di berfungsi untuk mengurangi polusi yang di hasilkan oleh pembakaran kendaraan. Akan tetapi karena seringnya biker membongkar pasang fairing motor, secara tidak sengaja selang PAIR terlepas dan akan mengakibatkan kacaunya udara yang di injeksikan ke dalam knalpot. Coba cek juga selang PAIR siapa tahu ada keretakan atau terjepit fairing.
3. PILOT JET
Jika kedua Part di atas telah di periksa dan di perbaiki, tetapi si keSatria tetap nembak - nembak pada knalpot. Coba ganti Pilot Jet dengan ukuran yang lebih besar, bisa naik 1-2 step. biasanya di ganti dengan ukuran 17,5.
SEMOGA SI-keSATRIA TIDAK NEMBAK LAGI..........................

STROKE UP UNTUK MATIK SUZUKI
Mengacu pada artikel saya sebelumnya, untuk menambah akselerasi awal motor matik. Selain lewat merubah roller CVT dengan yang lebih ringan, jika kurang puas dapat juga dengan memodifikasi mesin dengan modifikasi memanjangkan langkah piston (Stroke Up). Mengapa harus Stroke Up bukannya Bore Up (membesarkan Piston), karena liner selonsong silinder matik SUZUKI memakai sistem SCEM sehingga tidak bisa di oversize.
Ada beberapa cara proeses Stroke Up, yang pertama dengan membeli Pen Stroke Up after market yang kedua dan cara yang paling sering di lakukan dengan tetap menggunakan setang piston standar. Triknya, lubang asli di kruk as di tutup, lalu dibuat lubang pen lagi dengan posisi lebih keluar.
Dengan cara kedua maksimal Stroke Up 3mm, sehingga total perubahan stroke menjadi 6mm. 3mm naik dan 3mm turun. Dan jangan lupa untuk menambah paking almunium setebal 3mm pada blok silinder, agar kepala piston tidak bertabrakan dengan klep atau mentok kepala silinder.
Masih kurang puas,???? Ada cara alternative dengan menggunakan setang milik SUZUKI Smash yang lebih pendek dari dari setang bawaan matik SUZUKI. Dengan tampa menambah paking di blok silinder, Stroke Up bisa mencapai 10mm.
Pada proses Stroke Up, rantai keteng atau rantai kamrat harus memakai yang lebih panjang. Solusinya bisa memotong dan menambahkan rantai keteng sejenis atau solusi kedua dengan memakai rantai kamrat bekas yang sudah memanjang (mulur)
Dan yang paling penting setelah Proses Stroke Up selesai , jangan lupa untuk men-balance ulang kruk as motor matik anda.
Masih Kurang puas.?????
Sebaiknya jangan, karena motor kesayangan anda bisa menjadi mesin pembunuh bagi Tuannya.
