2.2 Yamaha LC135 version 2/3

Hello, welcome back. As I said before this in the previous topic that LC135 came up with 4 version. So, in this topic, I want to focus on the LC135 version 2 and 3. What had the different? What the upgraded that have been made? What are the new design and so on? The lc135 v2 still maintain using the DiASil (die-cast aluminium cylinder) which has better heat conductance to dissipate excessive heat easily. Apart from that the radiator also being improved to from small to big radiator. It is a good improvement as the LC135 before this (version 1) always overheat and caught in some engine problem. So, Yamaha has found the way to overcome the problem.

Next the new lc135 v2 also use the lighter forged piston technology that adapted from Yamaha R6. By the same time, it also helps the performance and torque of the engine to ensure the motorcycle can reach the top speed without any problem. In the other hand the lc135 version 1 also having a problem with their rocker arms. Yamaha has improved the rocker arm for the lc135 v2 by using the roller bearing rocker arms with less friction than typical rocker arms.

This lc135 using the MIKUNI VM22 carburetor with throttle position sensor and accelerator pump. The MIKUNI VM22 carburetor equipped with throttle position sensor for more precise ignition timing, increasing the engine's efficiency, and also accelerator pump for better acceleration and instant the engine's efficiency, and also an accelerator pump for better acceleration and instant response during take-off. The new improvement also includes the disc which it has been install front and rear. Unlike before this model, the disc only places at the front. But then the dual-piston disc brake only include for Yamaha lc135 extreme spirit in Malaysia. It is also same with the spotrim that came with tubeless tires. Lastly, I'm focusing on the body design. The lc135 v2 came with new body design and it also follow the diamond type for the frame. The new design of v2 came with variable colour. But for the special model that is GP model, it come with more attractive design and limited on for 5000 units. GP model only produces in 2011,2012,2013 and 2014. The new design also appears with the unique 'eagle eye' signal, the headlamp, the splash guard, the sport rims and etc. What makes the lc v2 and v3 different is only the signal. For lc v3 the signal is no more like 'eagle eye' but then it is like euro specification that is orange and more big from earlier.
