I have compiled and make a comparison between these two lovable bikes that might gets into your garage soon. Some prefer the Belang and some prefer the 5-speed of 135LC. In my opinion, both of these bikes are great in their own way. There are many reasons a rider choose a specific bike, maybe it is because brand loyalty, fuel efficiency, styling, price and others. So, it is really up to you to choose which one you really like. Make your own research and get the best bike that you always wanted for. motomalaya.net
The reason why I did this comparison is because both of the bikes have nearly same specs with nearly same price.
DiASil Cylinder
Features of the technology
The DiASil Cylinder is an all-aluminum cylinder made possible by an exclusive Yamaha aluminum forging technology. Because it uses a 20% silicon aluminum alloy, it is possible to create a cylinder wall that is so hard and durable that it eliminates the need for a conventional steel cylinder sleeve. And, because the cylinder is all aluminum, it has excellent heat dissipation qualities and reduces engine weight at the same time. (Aluminum dissipates heat at 3.1 times the rate of steel.) The T135 is the first ASEAN market model and only the second Yamaha model of all to adopt this advanced technology, following the Japanese market model “Grand Majesty 250.”
PAIR System
Reduces exhaust emission
DOHC vs SOHC
DOHC can provides better power but there is a lot more mechanical loss compare to SOHC since there is much more parts and weight to be moved by the crankshaft. The fewer parts of SOHC also provides lower maintainance cost.
