2.3 Yamaha LC135 version 4

Olla, welcome back to The Motor. Ok, Today I would like to press about the new Yamaha LC135 that has been released in February 2016. Actually, it is the only rumour that Yamaha wants to produce a new type of LC135, but surprisingly it is true! The new LC135 or in Malaysia we call that LC135 v4 (version 4) available with three new colour schemes that are red, white and blue. Apart from that with the white paint scheme coming with wheels in a contrasting shade of red.


For me what make it is more interesting is the LED pilot lights that being installed at the rear carrier. The old model does not have the LED pilot lights, that makes it look gorgeous. Besides that the new LC came with a revised rear light design that incorporates a new high-mounted brake light and grab-rail. It is also a part of safety for the user as the percentage of motorcycle rider death increase year by year. So, Yamaha is aware of the motorcycles users safety so they have created the additional safety to prevent unexpected tragedy to happen. To follow the modern and trendy style, Yamaha also includes the chin visor for the new LC. Unlike the old model, the new LC also look more stylish and trendy suitable with the teenagers styles. Apart from that, the engine capacity and others remain same with the old model. A 135 cc liquid-cooled single cylinder that puts out 12 hp at 8,500 rpm. Torque is 11.8 Nm at 5,500 rpm.


But what makes me unsatisfied is the new LC only come in super sport or in another hand there is no more hand clutch type for the LC users. Yamaha does not produce the extreme spirit model anymore as it is to give a way for the 150cc model that is Yamaha RC150 also known as LC150 (only in Malaysia call that because too many version of LC). And after all the new LC only available for Fi and not more using carburetor as the main part of the motorcycle. Last but not least the old model the extreme spirit model now become rare as it is no more being produced. So, LC v2,v3 user please be aware with your motorcycle as the rare one will be the one that targeting to be stolen.
