Aftermarket manufacturers have been working on smart helmet add-ons now. In contrast, the smart helmet is now on the verge of becoming a reality. In the past, we’ve talked a lot about Forcite helmets. Smart, linked helmets are a new frontier for an Australian start-up. The MK1S, the company’s new flagship model, has arrived.
The MK1S is the most advanced smart helmet on the market today. Forcite has spent years developing this smart helmet. They have included some of the most cutting-edge technology available. It suffices to remark that no other helmet can match the MK1S intelligence.
Forcite MK1S Build
Also, it promises excellent comfort and aerodynamics—essential features for any top-shelf helmet. The Harman Kardon high-definition speakers and a slew of other handy features cut the need for an intercom system and an action camera.
Smart capabilities
Due to public equity crowdfunding, the new MK1S is now available for presale on Forcite’s official website linked below. Crowdfunding allowed Forcite to bring the MK1S to life. MK1S helmet includes Forcite’s patented RAYDAR system. It combines LED technology, audio interactivity, a military-grade camera setup, and a handlebar-mounted controller. There’s no need to remove your hands off the bars to access the helmet’s various capabilities.

Besides, it has a battery life of up to seven hours when using all the smart functions. According to Forcite, the camera’s battery life is reduced to three or four hours when it is in use. The helmet has a USB-C plug for charging, and it takes about 90 minutes to recharge. You can make and receive phone calls and use Siri or Google Assistant on your mobile device because it has Bluetooth built-in. By 2023, Forcite hopes to have Bluetooth 5.0 support.
Pricing and availability
Customization possibilities are available for the Forcite MK1S helmet. The helmet production is in Sydney, Australia. With its $1,299 (USD 970) price tag, this helmet isn’t cheap, but it does offer a lot of value, given how much technology it features. In June of 2022, orders will begin shipping.
Regular readers are aware of my enthusiasm for sportbikes with tiny displacements. I’m from a place where motorcycles like this make perfect sense. As a first step, they’re a lot more sporty than their more powerful brothers, but without the hefty price tag. They’re also a breeze to ride and turn your regular commute into a thrilling joyride.
It’s also worth noting that the Yamaha YZF-R15 has long dominated the entry-level sportbike sector. So much better than its previous iterations, the Yamaha YZF-R15M is available in special M trim, like the YZF-R1M, Yamaha’s larger sibling.
Performance of Yamaha YZF-R15M
The YZF-R15M World GP 60th Anniversary Edition is powered by a 155cc, 4-stroke, liquid-cooled, SOHC, 4-valve engine producing 18.4 PS at 10,000rpm and 14.2 Nm at 7,500rpm. The fuel-injected engine has Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) coupled to a 6-speed transmission.
The R15M is head and shoulders above the competition in the sub-200cc sportbike sector. It has capabilities reserved for 650cc machines. Among other things, the bike has two riding modes: Track and Street. ABS features on both anchors. What’s cool is that this bike also includes traction control and a quick-shifter to make shifting easier.
There’s an approachable engine hidden beneath all that. To provide the R15M with the 19 horsepower it needs, Yamaha used their tried and true 155cc liquid-cooled, fuel-injected single-cylinder engine. The Yamaha YZF-R15M World GP 60th Anniversary Edition has been released by Yamaha to make things even better. Fans of Yamaha sportbikes will know this livery as the company’s famous Speed Block design. The Valencia GP race bike is the inspiration for the theme on the special edition R15M.
Pricing and availability
Recently, Yamaha has made the special World GP 60th Anniversary Edition R15M available in Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia. Yamaha’s outdated street bike model range in India is getting a much-needed refresh with the arrival of this bike. The YZF-R15M in blue and silver costs $26 more than the normal model, so it’s a no-brainer at USD 2,477. A special edition sportbike is sure to be a hit with both casual sporty commuters and those who like to take their bikes out on the track from time to time.

Regular maintenance is a must for motorcycles. Keeping the chain (if it has one) greased and inspecting the tyre pressures are the most common daily tasks. This involves maintaining the bike clean to inspect it for signs of wear and tear, such as failed bearings, broken seals, and other indicators of wear and strain. To service your motorcycle, you must first read and comprehend your bike’s owner’s handbook as well as this guide of BikersInsider.
Regardless matter how frequently you ride, the oil filter in your motorbike should be replaced at least once a year.
Servicing of a bike
If your bike has an oil warning light on or is running rough, you’ve waited far too long; you should service your bike at regular intervals for both safety and performance.
Remember that oil, filters, and plugs are only a small portion of necessary maintenance; you should also inspect the brakes, tyres, bearings, cables, electrics, etc.
Tools required to change oil, filter and spark plugs
The intention of this article is not to be all-inclusive of all you need to know about servicing a motorbike. So we strongly advise consulting a manual first.
Our goal is to give you the confidence to do the task yourself, but you will only have the right process if you have a workshop guide relevant to your machine. You will also require the following.
Oil filter wrench – you can use a chain-type, but it’s worth investing in a cup wrench, which fits over the filter and makes it easier to remove and torque up correctly
Spark plug socket – there should be one in your bike tool kit, but if not, it’s a huge help to get one that has a rubber insert to grip the plug
The most essential thing you can do to maintain your bike’s engine healthily is to change the oil regularly. As a bonus, it’s one of the simplest tasks to perform.
Step 1: Warm up the engine before the next step.
Run the engine for a few minutes before removing the old oil to let the oil drain more readily and remove more deposits with it. Take extreme caution because the engine and exhaust will be extremely hot.
Step 2: Open the oil filler cap when the bike is upright.
If your motorbike does not have a center stand, a paddock stand will be good. It has been a big benefit to have my motorbike mounted on an Abba Sky Lift for all the work I’ve done on it.
Removing oil filter
Step 3: Ensure that the oil filler cap is open, so that air can get in and prevent oil glugging.
Next, it’s time to tidy everything up.
Clean the sump plug and the surrounding region and the area where the oil filter joins the engine of any dirt.
Step 4:Unscrew the drain plug from the sump pump.
Use a spanner or socket set to loosen the sump bolt, then carefully pry it apart with your oil collect tray beneath (with your latex or similar gloves). You can feel when the threads on the bolt have run out by slowly removing it while keeping it pressed in; The sealing washer should be on the bolt; if not, remove and discard it from the sump.
Draining the oil
Drain the oil completely out.
Step 5: To finish, tighten the sump bolt.
Ensure the old washer is out of the way, but the new one is on, and then insert the bolt into the sump. Tighten it to the specs with a torque wrench if you have one.
Filling oil in bike
If you don’t have a torque wrench, be cautious not to overtighten this bolt. It’s just 20Nm.
Step 6: Remove the oil filter in the final step.
Change where you place your catch tray.
If oil is dripping from the filter-to-engine block gap, you can unscrew it with a filter removal tool. After draining the engine, there shouldn’t be any further leaks, but keep in mind that the filter will still be dripping with oil.
Step 7: It’s time to lubricate the new filter!
Applying oil on oil filter
The huge rubber O-ring in the filter may be cleaned by wiping some of your new engine oil on your finger.
Step 8: Replacing the oil filter is the last step.
After cleaning the filter seat:
Turn on the filter by spinning it.
Tighten the necessary tension with a torque wrench and cup wrench (10Nm on this bike).
Spin it on till the rubber seal hits and tighten it by hand 34 of a turn if you don’t have the necessary equipment.
How to clean or replace spark plugs of your bike.
You can tell a lot about how well your engine is functioning by looking at the life expectancy of your spark plugs. Like my Honda Grom, getting to the plugs is a breeze in certain vehicles. Still, it may be a tedious process in other vehicles, which is why having a dealer do it for you can be so expensive…
Step 1: Removing the tank and airbox is the first step.
On this bike, in addition to removing the airbox lid, you must also remove two additional bolts and the hoses that connect to the base of the airbox.
Laying a towel over the intakes will ensure that nothing falls into them.
Step 2:Remove the plugs and wash the area surrounding them.
You don’t want to get any grit or tiny stones in the wells where the plugs sit since they’ll fall into the engine when you remove the plugs. Remove any loose grit by using an airline (I used my Brühl bike drier) to blast it away after you’ve cleaned the area thoroughly.
Step 3: Take out the ignitor
Make a mental note of how the plug leads are out; if they have no label, you’ll want to use tape to help you reinstall them correctly.
You’ll need to remove the plug covers first, then use a socket or wrench to unscrew the spark plug from the vehicle. If the rubber bung on the plug isn’t holding it in place, use a magnet to pry it out.
Step 4:Inspect the spark plugs for damage.
You may learn a lot about an engine by examining the end of each plug as you take it out. At first, I was alarmed when I noticed oil on a couple of the plugs in my ZX-6R, but closer inspection revealed that the oil covered the whole thread. Because of leaks in the valve stem oil seals or piston rings, the end of the plug would be coated with oil while the threads would be completely unscrewed from the cylinder head. For no apparent reason, the oil began dripping down the plug well and coating its threads as soon as the spark plug was withdrawn from its socket.
Step 5: Observe the electrode gap in step five.
Cleaning plugs is possible if done carefully with a wire brush and after making sure there is no damage. When it comes to me, I just replace them.
Spark Plug worn vs new gap
You should use a feeler gauge to verify the electrode gap. Still, I haven’t seen one in the recent 10 years that needed altering from the factory settings. You can bend side electrodes to fit if necessary. When using fine iridium plugs, avoid pulling on the electrode tip.
Step 6: Finally, insert the spark plugs into the engine.
Cross-threading the plugs is important because they’re into an aluminum cylinder head with steel threads. Once I’ve found the hole, I turn the plug anti-clockwise to unscrew it. The threads will drop over each other as the plug spins. You may start turning the plugin by hand immediately after the threads drop over – it should have picked up correctly.
Inserting spark plug into the engine
Make sure to insert the plug completely by hand before trying again.
It’s a good idea to use a torque wrench. Taking them apart will cause the crush washer on the plug to compress when you remove them… Although it may seem as though the treads are coming out, remember that you screwed the plugin by hand, which should give you some comfort.
When changing spark plugs for the first time, you’ll want to borrow or buy a torque wrench. You must be extremely cautious when doing so.
Afterward, reinstall the airbox and tank and the plug covers in the right sequence.
There will be a new entry-level ride available in the UK from April 2022, according to Zero.
According to Zero‘s press release, “tuned to generate 166Nm of torque, peak power of 74 horsepower, and a top speed of 104mph,” the Zero SR design is on the same platform as the SR/F model.
The bike’s performance can boost to be on par with the SR/after F’s purchase if the owner wants. A top speed of 124mph is 190Nm, 90hp, and 90hp.
Z-Force batteries
Zero SR will feature new Z-Force batteries, which will have the latest generation of Zero’s Z-Force battery technology.
The new Z-Force batteries have a slimmer and lighter design and increased range and energy density.
By purchasing a Cipher Store upgrade kit, SR owners can extend the bike’s energy storage capacity from 14.4kWh to 17.3kWh.
Peroformance of Zero SR
A new Cypher Store feature from Zero allows users to enable the “Speed & Performance Boost”. It allows the SR to be upgraded to Advanced Bosch Motorcycle Stability Control. Which adds the cornering capability to the SR’s straight-line ABS and traction management, as well as drag torque control.

A few images of the new SR’s front fascia with “Power is as strong as 500CC” emerged on Facebook. It’s as light as a 250CC in weight. This engine’s specs read 37 kilowatts (49.6 horsepower) and 39 Newton-meters of torque.
Compared to the Kawasaki Ninja 400 and Honda CBR500R, this is a good figure in the 400cc to 500cc category. The CFMoto 450SR should compete well against its Japanese rivals in this class of motorcycles. And in this category, every cubic centimetre and horsepower matters. The Honda CBR500R may have been the target of the post’s caption.
It has been revealed that the finalized CFMoto 450SR sports bike has broken its cover. Its saw characteristics are first seen on the SR-C21 Concept prototype unveiled at the 2021 EICMA event.
CFMoto, a growing number of Chinese motorcycle firms aiming to enter the European market, has made the most progress.
Build and design
Before known for badge-engineered low-capacity models, the 700CL-X line, which includes the Heritage and the Sport and the more inexpensive 800MT, has made quite an impression.
As part of its SR sportbike collection, CFMoto has launched the 450SR slot between the well-designed 300SR that debuted in the UK in 2014.
CFMoto 450SR Front
The 450SR gets a new, sharper family face design previewed by the SR-C21 concept. It should have a strong shape that should allow it to cut a dash alongside rivals, the KTM RC390 and Yamaha R3.
Engine specs
The engine is a 449cc single-cylinder with 50 horsepower, but this could be reduced if the model must meet Euro5 rules or be made A2 compliant. It also claims a top speed of 190 km/h (118 mph), but we’ll have to test it out first…
CFMoto 450SR Head
While it’s a bit heavier than the RC390 and R3, it still manages to match the power and weight of the CFMoto 450SR.
Although the 450SR shares many of the SR-architectural C21’s characteristics. It is still unclear if this is the ‘final product’ of that design endeavour.
It was unclear if CFMoto planned to put the Italian-designed motorcycle into production. A more powerful and specialized model with a single-sided swingarm, high-set SC exhaust, and Ohlins suspension is in, rumours say. There was no sign of what engine it was packing.

A new limited-edition motorbike, the XDiavel Nera, from Borgo Panigale, was unveiled at the Milan Motor Show in Italy this week. Ducati used the Poltrona Frau Flagship Store to unveil its newest model, only available in 500 units worldwide.
Ducati and the Interiors in Motion Business Unit of Poltrona Frau collaborated to create the XDiavel Nera. This one-of-a-kind motorcycle combines exhilarating performance with a custom look and feels.
Limited Edition
An exclusive 500-unit production run of the XDiavel Nera has an announcement. The bike itself comes in Ducati’s “Black on Black” paint, but it’s the addition of Poltrona Frau furniture that sets it apart from other XDiavels.
Ducati Xdiavel Nera Launch in Milan, Italy
Color options for Xdiavel Nera
The hand-tanned Pelle Frau leather seat is the pièce de résistance of this gorgeous version. The material results from Poltrona Frau’s years of research are soft and velvety, with top-notch aesthetic features. To tan the leather, you can choose from five different colors. Color options include Siam Red (steel blue), Steel Blue (cemen), India (cemen), Selva (selva), and Cemen (cemen). An advanced laser procedure to create this unique saying, evoking the “X” in XDiavel’s name.

A broader base and a backrest, as well as the ultra-luxurious material, combine to create a seat that is both comfortable and stylish on Ducati’s power cruiser. Buyers will also receive an original keyring and documentation crafted from the same Pelle Frau leather as the seat as a thank you for their business. Additionally, the “Black on Black” paint on the bike features a dedicated jet helmet.
Ducati had an exciting year in 2021. In March 2021, Ducati’s VP of global sales and board member Francesca Milicia stated that an electric Ducati racer was not feasible because “an electric motorcycle cannot provide the pleasure, range, the weight, etc., that Ducati riders want.”… But, the V21L, Ducati’s first electric racing prototype, was unveiled in December. The specifics of its technology were secret.
Concept
Ducati Ghost e-bike concept transportation designer Daniel Kemnitz argues that “we live in a motorcycling world on the edge of combustion and electric,” he adds. There are two groups of riders on this issue. Some are receptive to an electric future, while others are reluctant to give up their long-held passion.
As stated by Kemnitz, the Ghost’s purpose was to connect the two realms. Suppose you don’t know what I’m talking about. In that case, I’ll explain: My Ducati concept is a hybrid motorbike, the engine, and the use case.” The bike got tweaks to tackle urban areas’ pollution and noise exclusion zones. Yet, it can still handle backroads and long-distance travel.
Ducati Ghost colours
Because of this, the Ducati concept tries to nail the appearance to appeal to a more vast range of bikers. There is no need for powerful cars to always look edgy with their design, which is a mix of agile and powerful.
Advantages
Whether you’re searching for an eye-catching commuter or a beast, the Ghost’s design has something for you. The bike’s front suspension is another noteworthy feature. Its housing is within the swingarm, between the bike’s headlights. Moving your gaze to the rear wheel reveals a unique closed hub design with the Ducati symbol. So do the headlamps have a 4-way split design that looks very ghostly.
A slipper-clutch can “couple/decouple the electric drive as needed for the Ducati Ghost. The rider can either utilize the petrol engine in tandem with the electric motor or… you may use it as a generator.”
Small but high revving horizontal twin-cylinder engines with a peak power output were possible. It is likely due to the high performance of the lightweight electric motor used in Kemnitz’s vehicle.
A typical shortcoming of these engines is that they lack torque at low and medium revs. This is where the electric motor comes in,” says Kemnitz. Because the engine is small, it is easier to optimize fuel efficiency and use current cam-less electric valves.
It achieves a healthy balance between performance and efficiency without any compromise. As a result, the Ghost has a slimmer frame because of this hybrid system’s ability to reduce packaging and component size.
Ducati Ghost concept
Performance and Convenience
The last advantage of a distributed hybrid-style power system is a backup plan. It’s possible to use the Ducati Ghost’s batteries as a reserve tank’ for more power as they aren’t the primary power source. Convenience
Finally, the Ghost has removable batteries that can be swapped at Ducati dealerships for an easy and fast recharge between rides. According to Kemnitz, “this would also serve as a point of contact between Ducati and its customers.”
We will look forward to the bike’s reviews and performance in the coming months. For more news and updates keep visiting BikersInsider.
