Edaran Modenas Sdn Bhd (EMOS), the wholly-owned subsidiary of Motosikal dan Enjin Nasional Sdn Bhd (MODENAS), officially launched its second flagship 4S center, KAWASAKI Setapak. The ceremony was overseen by Mr. William Ho, Director of KAWASAKI Setapak. EMOS was represented by Mr. Roslan Roskan, Chief Executive Officer, and George Kashiwagi, Chief Marketing Officer, while the Malaysian Motorcycle and Scooter Dealers Association (MMSDA) was represented by its President, Datuk Wee Hong.
The flagship 4S center, known as the KAWASAKI All Star, offers a comprehensive range of KAWASAKI motorcycle models, spanning from the smallest to the highest cc. All KAWASAKI All Stars adhere to the design and construction standards of Kawasaki Plazas in Japan, placing emphasis on product display and visual merchandising.
KAWASAKI Setapak is fully owned and managed by Eang Chun Motor Sdn Bhd, a partner of MODENAS for the past 23 years. In 2022, Eang Chun officially became an authorized 4S dealer for Kawasaki. With a stellar reputation and a crucial role in building the Kawasaki brand, Eang Chun remains one of the top dealers for both MODENAS and KAWASAKI brands in Malaysia.
The grand opening drew a crowd of 700 people and featured various activities such as test rides, safety riding demonstrations by the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS), a photobooth, lucky draw, and more.
MODENAS achieved another noteworthy milestone on that day, securing a five-star rating from the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) for 11 of its models as part of the Malaysian Motorcycle Assessment Programme (MyMAP). This recognition secures the position of MODENAS as the manufacturer with the greatest number of 5-star ratings with a total of 13 motorcycles.
"This achievement is significant as it underscores our dedication to promoting safer motorcycles through advanced safety technologies such as the antilock braking system, commonly known as ABS. We are committed to raising consumer awareness about safe riding practices for crash prevention, thereby encouraging informed purchasing decisions," stated Roslan Roskan, CEO.
At the event, the company unveiled the new C&G 2024 for its Completely Built-Up (CBU) model, the Kawasaki Z900RS, marking the debut of the Yellow Ball Edition in the Malaysian market. Eang Chun Motor presided over the handover ceremony, officially presenting the MY2024 model to its first customer on that day.
The 2023 Kawasaki Z900RS "Yellow Ball" Edition, a retro motorcycle that premiered in Japan earlier in the year, is now available in Malaysia. Enhancing its retro appeal is the original Kawasaki Z1 '900' badge on the side covers, paying homage to the Z1 heritage. The distinctive yellow and black paint job, along with the standard Z900RS features like anti-lock brakes (ABS), Kawasaki traction control (KTRC), and the 948cc Inline-four engine producing 82.0 kW / 8,500 rpm of maximum power and 98.5 Nm / 6,500 rpm of torque, maintains the model's specifications. Key components such as suspension, brakes, and wheels remain unchanged from the standard model.
