Yamaha LC135 Modification with X1R Coverset

LC135 is known as X1R in Thailand. The differences can be spotted from the missing of front head lamp replaced by a bigger lamp on the fairing.

The footrest used for this bike is different that the one which is used on the Yamaha LC135 50th Anniversary coverset whereby this one Racing Boy branded.

The radical dash here reminds me of Honda Nova Tena which is popular in Thailand and Kelantan in 1999. The dash here look a little bit naked due to the handle bar is not covered by the head lamp cover.

X1R sticker on the side fender shows that this bike is modded to resemble the bike from Thailand.

AHM or Ah Hong Motor exhaust is used again on this bike due to performance that can be gained from it and also because of the menacing looks that it provides to the bike. The price for the exhaust is also affordable since it is hollow inside to make the waste air from exhaust stroke to be extracted freely and quickly.

That's all for this one, but there are bonus picture below. Next, I'll try to bring you Yamaha LC135 MotoGP 2007 Coverset modification. But before that, there is an LC135 from Bermuda to be featured in this blog.

X1R: The Another Version of Yamaha LC135

Yamaha X1R Thailand version of Yamaha LC135 is a very special model. It has front and rear brake disc whereby most of the other version only has front disc brake such as Yamaha Sniper (Bermuda) and T135(Europe).
The design of the bike is also very different when compared all of the other version of the LC135. It look much more naked, meaner and more manly. The rear lamp is designed well to suit the overall radical look presented by the absence of front head lamp on the head cover. The front head lamp is being replaced to lower position that is on the fairing. This remind me the look of new Nuovo that is Nuovo LC. It is good design and I think a lot of Yamaha LC135 like to have their bike to resemble this look.
Yamaha X1R also have another version in Thailand that is Yamaha Spark 135i, and as the name suggest it is being equipped with fuel injection.
