Yamaha T135 Official Page

I have stumble upon this very informative site about the research, development and roadtest for Yamaha LC135. Yamaha LC135 is actually codenamed T135 that is targeted for Asean market by exhaustive research by the Yamaha engineers.
Yamaha has a very excellent history in developing bike and also very successful in racing whether in MotoGP, motorcross or others.
At this time, there is no other bike that are in the same category as Yamaha LC135 by other manufacturer. This can be deja-vu to reflect to Yamaha RX-Z 135 that is also remain uncontested up to this day.

Uma Racing Pilot Jet (M6)

This racing pilot jet from Uma racing is used to modify the setting of the carburetor and usually used in conjunction with exhaust modification. Read my article about Uma Racing Main Jet for more info.
This part is available in many sizes that is; 30, 32, 35, 38, 40, 42, 45, 48, 50, 52

Uma Racing Main Jet

Uma Racing main jet can be use to upgrade the performance of your carburetor. With larger main jet diameter, more fuel can be pumped to the combustion chamber in your bike.
The modification of this item is usually done with modification of the exhaust to get maximum performance. A modified exhaust can consume a lot more fuel that normal exhaust, so, in order to feed the hungry exhaust, carburetor modification is needed. One part of the carburetor modification is to modified the main jet.
Uma Racing main jet is available in these sizes; 88, 90, 92, 95, 98, 100, 102, 105, 108, 110

Uma Racing Carburetor

Uma Racing parts especially the carburetor is very popular among bike enthusiasts. Uma Racing carburetor can give better performance than standard carburetor due to its oversize air intake diameter.
This carburetor is available in many sizes that is 24mm, 28mm, 30mm, 32mm and 34mm.
The bigger the diameter of the air intake, the more fuel and air mixture can be burnt and this also means it consumes more fuel than standard carburetor.
Usually, modification of carburetor is done with the modification of exhaust to get a good performance from both parts.

Uma Racing Ego/Nuovo Racing Auto Clutch

Racing auto clutch can give a better grip for the clutch in all RPM speed. Better grip can give better pickup and more speed.
This part is also lighter than the original parts.

Fiat102: Light Blue

Fiat 103: Deep Blue (Lorenzo Edition)

Fiat 104: Dark Blue with black tail

All of this item is available at NKS Sentul. The price is estimated at RM500++. This coverset is one of the most popular coversets available for Yamaha LC135.

Changing coversets is easy and can be done all by yourself and the result can be very interesting.

If you have nice design of Yamaha LC135, please share it to this blog. Mail me at mohdwahidi(at)motomalaya.net

Yamaha LC 135 Fiat Yamaha MotoGP 2007 Coverset

This item is available at most workshop, but I suggest you try to find this coverset at NKS Sentul since there are a lot more choices of coversets.

This one is based on Fiat MotoGP 2007 Valentino Rossi bike with the number 46 clearly visible on the bike lamp cover.
Umi Iridium Power Spark Plug

Normal spark plug use tungsten as their electrode. Tungsten is good for normal use of the bike since it can’t withstand high temperature for a long time. For racing use or heavy duty use, it is advisable to use Iridium electrode spark plug. Also, by using Iridium, the contact area can be reduced to make a larger spark than normal spark plug. If you look closely in the picture, you will see what I mean. So, the Umi Iridium Power Spark Plug here should be a consideration next time you want to have your spark plug changed. What is expected from the usage of this Iridium spark plug is; better fuel economy, better long distance engine performance and better pickup.

Because of its scarcity and high cost, applications of iridium are severely limited. Although iridium metal and many of its complex compounds are good catalysts, no large-scale commercial application for these has been developed. In general, other platinum metals have superior catalytic properties. The high degree of thermal stability of elemental iridium and the stability it imparts to its alloys does give rise to those applications where it has found success. Particularly relevant are its high melting point (2443°C or 4429°F), its oxidation resistance, and the fact that it is the only metal with good mechanical properties that survives atmospheric exposure above 1600°C (2910°F). Iridium is alloyed with platinum to increase tensile strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance. However, the workability of these alloys is decreased. These alloys find use as electrodes for anodic oxidation, for containing and manipulating corrosive chemicals, for electrical contacts that are exposed to corrosive chemicals, and as primary standards for weight and length. Platinum-iridium alloys are used for electrodes in spark plugs that are unusually resistant to fouling by antiknock lead additives. Sourced from Wikipedia.
Racing Boy Shock Absorber with Gas for Yamaha RX-Z

Compared to liquid, gas is much more lighter and compressible, thus making it suitable to absorb shocks. Based on this criteria (compressible), many high performance shock absorber tend to use gas as their shock absorbent.

The effect than can be achieved by using this gas shock absorber is better ride, more comfort and more control. Also, the design of this Racing Boy shocks is very nice with white colour and short metal holder case.

Uma Racing Engine Block for Yamaha Ego

Performance parts from Uma Racing is well accepted by most bikers here in Malaysia. Now, they have introduced a racing block for Yamaha Ego.

They are two sizes available for the bore size that is 58.5mm and 61mm. Even a slight increase of displacement can affect greatly in the combustion chamber size. For example, Kriss 120 only needed to be bored by 1mm to increase the cc to 125.

Racing Boy Adjustable Damper

This damper from Racing Boy can be installed to various bike namely LC135, 125Z and RX-Z.

It can be adjusted up to 6 different hardness or dampness. The harder you set, the more damp your handle will be. The hardest setting is good for sprint test but not for curvy track as this will make your turning much slower than usual.

Yamaha RZR, Mexico Version of RX-Z
Different people have different taste. Different country, different market. So, what has been done by Yamaha in order to catch the motorcycle market in Mexico, they have modified Yamaha RX-Z version in Asia to Yamaha RZR.

The differences can be looked at the full-fairing set compared to the naked look of RX-Z and the rear brake that has been equipped with disc brake where RX-Z only have drum brake.

IMHO, I prefer the current look of RX-Z. The full-fairing maybe give a better aerodynamics than naked configuration but at a cost of more weight. The full-fairing also will make the access to the engine much harder. The thing that I want from RZR is the rear brake disc configuration to be installed on RX-Z as standard. Rear brake is important since it can give a better confidence in braking while in high speed. Some biker said that it is useless to use the rear brake, but for me, it is very important. Since RX-Z use a rear drum brake, that is a good way to make the bike much cheaper than other competing bike. The only competitor for RX-Z that I know is Honda Raider 135, but it is not so popular compared to RX-Z.

Looking back to Malaysia, I’m happy with the current design of RX-Z and my favorite colour for it is BLACK.
