There are three obvious features that I can see from this picture of 2011 Yamaha 135LC Manual Clutch Version. First, there is new decals that is different than the Auto Clutch version. Second, there is rear disc brake and lastly, the front brake caliper is the tw0-piston caliper with bigger front disc plate.

I can’t see clearly whether this engine casing is different with the one with the Auto Clutch version. If it is different, this one is definitely 5-speed.

Also, the rear sprocket are very much alike the new one from Yamaha that is being fitted to Lagenda 115 and also the 5-speed version of Jupiter MX in Indonesia.

The chain tensioner mechanism are also the new version taken from the FZ-150i.

So, our hope are still alive and might become real soon.

We all are thinking there is no 5-speed version because there is no information about it given the HLYM mini website of 135LC.

We can only be sure when the bike arrives to the shops on Monday. I hope if you are there at the shop, please take some pictures of it and email me at info[a]motomalaya.net.

It’s official. There will be only 4-speed version for 135LC Auto Clutch and the Manual Clutch version. Good thing is the price is not being increased.  UPDATE(27/03/2011): The manual clutch is 5-speed!

Don’t be disappointed guys. The 5-speed 135LC is coming soon. In few more month or by the end of this year. Let’s us all hope.

If you notice, HLYM are now getting more aggressive with the introduction of Lagenda 115Z, Nouvo LC GP Edition, Ego LC and now, the 135LC face lift. The problem is that they take a long time to introduce it to us compare to our neighbouring country such as Indonesia and Thailand. The reason, the Malaysia bikes market is small. Anyway, it is a good effort from them.

2011 Yamaha 135LC price in Malaysia is RM6,118 for Auto Clutch and RM6,668 for Manual Clutch (excluding road tax, insurance and registration).

You have read the title correctly, but, it is not the 5-speed that we have been waiting for. This is the upgrade of coverset from the previous version of 4-speed 135LC circa 2006-2010.

It has many new features including the much awaited secure key lock with key hole shutter.

The meter is actually quite nice with red illumination. At first, it looks like ‘lamp bulb’.

I had a feeling of happiness and frustration at the same time since I’m waiting for the 135LC with 5-speed. At the same time, I’m happy to know that we are going to get it in Malaysia. Maybe later in few more month. UPDATE: 135LC 5-speed is here too!

You! What’s your opinion?

I’m calling this a preview since this is a new tyre I just got but it is not installed to my bike yet. So, I’ll share about the features, background and my first impression about this Shinko EVO SR877 motorcycle in the size of 70/90-17 and 80/90-17. After installing it to my ride, then I can write about test drive review. So, lets start after the jump with 21 more pictures (more…)
