2002 Yamaha RX135 review from India
"She will never give up on you"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
The original headlight was never good.
Ignition key hole is not water tight, and that leads to problems in the rainy season.
Lock set needs a change now, after 70,000 k.m.
General comments?
I rode it to Ladakh, and she moved like the wind. NO MAJOR MECHANICAL FAILURE, except for a dead spark plug and a punctured tyre.
I have hardly found myself spending too much on its maintenance. Very cost effective.
Extremely good in urban traffic as well, and its light weight only adds to its value.
Conveniently priced spare parts, but she hardly ever grumbles for parts changes.
