Yamaha RXZ Catalyzer Original Mikuni VM26 Carburetor

Made in Thailand but the quality is high according to Mikuni carburetor of Japan. I have used this one in fact to one of my bike and it is as good as the one which comes with the bike.
The problem with the non-original carburetor is that it is very hard to do the setting. The thread of the air screw is not made precisely as needed. Even if you manage to set it to good setup, the thread tends to adjust itself to improper position.
This carburetor doesn’t have that problem. It is good to go. And if you notice, the slide inside the carburetor is in black colour.
VM26 means the carburetor size is 26mm.

Yamaha 135LC Original Disc Plate

Some people like to modify their bike to use bigger disc plate, which looks nice. That kind of disc plate might cost you about RM200+.
But if you try to buy the original one, it might set you back to RM300+ for the standard size disc plate.
For me, I prefer the original ones as it is much tougher and more durable than the aftermarket parts. Not that the aftermarket parts is not good, it is just can’t match the quality of original parts. I have seen one original disc plate fitted to a 10 year old Yamaha bike and still usable up to this point. The disc plate has thinned down but not much, maybe just 1mm. Disc plate is not something you change frequently, it is the brake pad that needs the love and care. But do you care about the brand and originality of your brake pad?
