The sport rim here is branded Daiichi Alloy made from Thailand. It is very nice and eye-catching.
The exhaust pipe here is TENCUT Racing Pipe made from Philippine. For me, I prefer the exhaust from YY Pang and AHM since it is already tested and used in Malaysian Cub Prix Championship. But I don’t know if the TENCUT pipe is used in racing in Philippine.
Yamaha LC135 or Sniper in Bermuda
Yamaha LC135 is also known as Sniper in certain country such as Bermuda. The bike is not much different with what we have here in Malaysia. The rear brake is drum. The front brake is still one piston caliper even though the bike is equipped with manual clutch [in Malaysia the front brake is two-piston caliper for manual clutch version]. One thing that amazes me is the rims. I wonder what brand and model of rim it is. The exhaust has been already modified to a new one.

LC135 is known as X1R in Thailand. The differences can be spotted from the missing of front head lamp replaced by a bigger lamp on the fairing. (more…)

Front disc brake has been upgraded to bigger disc. Fork also has been replaced with LC 135 Trust inverted telescopic fork (fork terbalik / upside down fork). The caliper used is still one-piston kit from the original stock. The rim used is the same rim design used in Kawasaki ZX-6R also known as ‘rim tulang ikan’ (fish bone rim).

The exhaust used for this bike is AHM. There are several brand of racing exhaust that can be fitted to LC 135 being the Arrow and the most popular YY Pang. I have asked for the price for the AHM, and the shop told me it is cheap compared to the original LC 135 Catalyzer exhaust that cost about RM480. So, will you change your exhaust?

Setelah itu, undang-undang telah menetapkan kenderaan 2 lejang tidak dibenarkan diimpot atau dibuat lagi untuk pasaran Malaysia. Namun begitu, model sedia ada seperti Yamaha RX-Z dan Yamaha 125Z masih lagi dibenarkan untuk dijual dan pengenalan pada model 2 lejang terbaru berakhir disitu.
Pada pendapat saya, motosikal 2 lejang ini tidaklah begitu mencemarkan alam sekitar, tetapi cukup mencemar bunyi sekiranya diubahsuai tidak tentu hala untuk peningkatan prestasi dipacu atas jalan raya awam.
Kuasa yang dibawa oleh motosikal 2 lejang adalah melebihi 40% berbanding isipadu silinder yang sama pada motosikal 4 lejang. Motosikal dua lejang juga mempunyai susun atur enjin yang agak mudah kerana tidak memerlukan OHC dan injap.
Penggunaan minyak pelincir 2T merupakan faktor tidak ekonomi pada motosikal jenis ini, tetapi ini tidak menjadi masalah sekiranya dibandingkan dengan kepuasan memandu dengan kuasa yang mudah dilepaskan sekiranya perlu.
Asap tidak menjadi masalah sekiranya langkah untuk mengatasinya diambil. Saya juga telah menulis satu pos di dalam blog ini mengenainya bertajuk “Five Tips On How To Minimise Exhaust Smoke From 2-stroke Bike “. Anda bacalah sendiri.
Terima kasih kerana membaca.
I just bought this 1997 RX-Z last month. It was selling very cheap at only >RM500. Now, I’m trying to restore this bike to its glory when it was first bought.
Keep coming to this website to see what will happen to this bike.
Projek Pemulihan Semula RX-Z 1997 6-Kelajuan
Saya baru sahaja membeli RX-Z tahun 1997 6-kelajuan bulan lepas. Harganya amat murah iaitu >RM500. Sekarang, saya sedang mencuba untuk memulih semula motosikal kepada zaman kegemilangannya seperti mula-mula dibeli dahulu.
Teruskan melawat laman web ini untuk melihat apa yang akan berlaku kepada motosikal ini.

Saya telah ternampak motor ini di Kelantan semasa saya sedang mengisi minyak motor EX-5 saya. Jika anda perhatikan pada nombor plet motor ini, anda akan dapati nombor pendaftarannya tertulis NARATHIWAT. Jadi, ini adalah motosikal daripada Thailand.
Saya tidak dapat memastikan model motor ini. Namun begitu, ia begitu mirip dengan Yamaha Nuovo.
Ada sesiapa boleh bantu?
This is my reasons:
5. The bike design is evergreen and always fresh.
4. RX-Z is always related to power, speed, young and egoism.
3. RX-Z is not everyday bike to go to market buy fishes and vegetables. There is no ‘bakul’, man!
2. The sound of the bike can be modified to my liking whether it is loud and furious or just silent and purrs like a cat.
1. It is the only bike in its category that is available. Try to think for yourself, is there any other bike in this class?
What’s your reason?
1. Remove and clean the coversets. This is to make sure the parts are clean from oil and dirt.
1. Tanggalkan dan cuci coversets. Ini adalah untuk memastikan bahagian ini bersih daripada minyak dan kotoran.

5. Spray the SAMURAI Khameleon Undercoat.

It seems that many chose 2-stroke as their favourite engine. This maybe due to 2-stroke have simpler design, lighter weight and more power.
Some also chose 4-stroke engine. Honda EX5, Yamaha Lagenda and Yamaha LC135 belong to this group of engine. 4-stroke produce less pollution and gives less noisy exhaust sound. One of my friend who owns LC135 tells me that he really loves the bike because he can cruise up to 140 km/h furiosly but still be almost silent.
There are two person who chose both engine as their favourite and only one person didn’t like engines. Hmm, I wonder why he/she visit this site then…
