There is already some circulation of this brochure of 2011 Yamaha 135LC Extreme Spirit with 5-speed at the shop and also at the internet in MalaysianBikers.com forum and also at ArenaKereta.com, but this one is in high resolution and slow loading at 1600px so that you can read every word that is printed on the brochure.
I’m hoping this bike will get the GP Edition soon with the coming MotoGP in Sepang on 23th October 2011.

For those of you who dream to use Battlax tyres to your ride, now it is the time to wake up and go to SCK Motor in Taman Sri Muda, Shah Alam.
The Battlax BT090 and BT039 is the one that has been used in the races in Malaysian Cub Prix for the SCK Harian Metro Racing team. The price for the new one is at RM380 which is out of reach for us that has many more money priority to use other than to use Battlax. This tyre compound is soft and I think it will wear out easily, but you’ll get great grip while you were on it. Get it now for only RM150. Limited stocks.
Oh, Battlax is Radial type tyre.
For me, I’m using Shinko SR877 right now.

I have went to GTMax Motors in Seksyen 25, Shah Alam to look for the new 2011 Yamaha 135LC facelift. It is not just facelift anyway since the new auto clutch version also got a little bit engine modification that features Mikuni BS25 carburetor that gives increase in power and torque from the previous version.
What about the 5-speed manual clutch version?
The salesman at GTMax tells me that it is going to arrive in just two more weeks. Based on my previous experience with the information from them, like the RX-Z which is being discontinued which I knew from them long time ago at the launch of Ego LC in November, I think they are worthy of trust. So, let us see whether this is true or not soon.
Price for the 2011 Yamaha 135LC Auto Clutch at GTMax is RM6,900 OTR cash with first party all rider insurance.
For the 2011 Yamaha 135LC Manual/Hand Clutch, the price is RM7,400 OTR cash with first party all rider insurance.

I just read Berita Harian today news about the launching of 2011 Yamaha 135LC 5-speed in the Auto section. It is confirmed that it is being launched on 18th March. It is also confirmed that we will get the 5-speed manual clutch with Mikuni BS25 carburetor (the same with 2011 Jupiter MX in Indonesia). The power figures that has been upped to 12.3hp and 12Nm of torque from the auto clutch version at only 11.97hp (12hp as stated in the paper) and 11.79Nm of torque (the auto clutch also gets the Mikuni BS25 carburetor). The 2010 Yamaha 135LC only comes with Mikuni VN22 carburetor that provides 11.32hp of power and 11.65Nm of torque.
The bike is also confirmed to features the wider wheels, two-piston caliper for the front brake and rear disc brake (single-piston caliper, I think). The tyre that is equipped for 2011 Jupiter MX in Indonesia is from IRC with the size of 70/90-17 x 2.15 38P for the front and 100/70-17 x 2.50 44P for the rear wheel. That is WIDE! In Malaysia, I think, the tyre might be supplied by Vee Rubber which is the OEM tyre manufacturer for HLYM bikes.

Another avid MotoMalaya reader, Muhd Hafiz, have sent an email to HLYM customer services to know the availability of the 2011 Yamaha 135LC with 5-speed and rear disc brake.
The reply is again is postive as they said that is being launched on the same date as the auto clutch version that is on 18th March 2011, but, the manual clutch will only be available to customers in some more time soon.
We are expecting the manual clutch version will comes late April or early in May.
Thanks Muhd Hafiz for the tips!
A reader, Farid, have sent an email to HLYM customer service to ask about the availability of the 2011 Yamaha 135LC Manual Clutch in 5-speed.
The reply is positive as they said that is available in Malaysia.
The problem is, it might be available starting from May, which is 2 more month from now.
Thanks Farid for the tips!
This is is said to be sold only at one shop in Malaysia that is Chin Hin Jitra at Gurun branch. This is due to the fact that this bike is for export only. Malaysian riders seldom heard about this bike, including me.
The specs for Modenas 125 2-stroker are amazing considering is below RM5,000. You’ll get monoshock rear suspension, two-piston caliper for both front and rear brakes with large disc plate, alloy Com* (ComStar) sports rim, 6-speed transmission, Mikuni VM22 carburetor and no cut-off CDI.
The previous version, Modenas Dinamik 120, comes with 118cc engine. I’m hoping for this Modenas 125 to come with 125cc engine. Both are 2-stroke engine.
In Greece, Modenas Dinamik 120 are as much popular as the Yamaha 125Z.

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?
