Message: <blockquote data-quote="gunnerzz" data-source="post: 1064742842" data-attributes="member: 166532">Update on my trusty EX5..The mileage clocked 110k km last month. The engine is showing its age with timing chain noise, teppet noise which can only be solved temporarily, clutch is not so grippy. This bike has served me faithfully all these years while receiving hard riding style.Initially i thought of a block refresh only. After discussion with my mech i decided to go for block upgrade to 53mm block set with semi dome piston. Original is 50mm. Additional supporting mods are better clutch plate and clutch spring. My mech knows how i ride based on the teppet situation and knows that i change my oil on monthly basis regardless of mileage. This mod good enough for daily ride while maintaining reliability.The bike was completed last week and i have been riding it with no issue at all. With the std 50mm block the capacity is 97cc and now its 109cc. My brain tells me not to expect much as its minor increase. However, everytime i twist the throttle the bike pulls in an effortless manner. Its not viscous (only 53mm block) but so smooth and very convincing. That can be felt in all gear. My weight of only 70kg is a helping factor too. Reaching 80kmh on the speedo is too easy and it felt that 'habis meter' is easily achieveable. I havent pushed it as usual as my mech advised me to take it easy for the first 2 weeks. I also had to adjust my riding style esp on corners ( i drop a gear most of the time b4 a corner) as opening the throttle to much causes the rear stock suspension to compress more and front end to lift which led to unconvincing feel from the front. This needs another mod...haahaha. FC? Or course it increases a bit but not significant. If i tend to enjoy the pull 1/2 throttle from 1st gear to 3rd gear frequently, i can see the increase in fc even more but i dont mind that as it makes me smile both physically and mentally everytime i felt the torque.Is it worth it? Its a big yes for me as first of all its cheap, very cheap. Then it makes the bike a lot better for daily riding. [ATTACH=full]585778[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]585779[/ATTACH]I will play with this setup for few more weeks and then decide if i need a new sprocket setting for better cruising, its standard size now. For now i am still having fun with the torque.</blockquote>
