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.
In 2008, there are four dominant bike that is used for Malaysian Cub Prix racing.
The bikes involved in the racing are:
Yamaha Lagenda 110Z
Honda Wave 125S
Kriss 120 Sports
Suzuki Shogun 125

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 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?
