Yamaha RX135 Reviews from India

Indicators needed to be replaced, and I did replace the catalytic silencer, as the older one gives better mileage, RX 100.

It's the best average giving motorcycle; 50 km pl in 2 stroke bikes, plus it has power and torque.

Full marks to Yamaha and thumbs down to the Govt of India for stopping the production of the vehicle.

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.

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.

The engine got some damage in it after few years, which makes some sound.

The brakes in it have gone terribly wrong.

The front suspension is very weak and gets problems for a small crash.

The pickup is amazing. This is not a bike for junior riders. Boys who are ready to meet the devil can readily ride this bike.

Good to have stunts & thrills.

Nothing has gone wrong.

The best motorcycle money can buy, and one of the best resale valued in the market.

For example, even after using one for five years, it will repay 50%, which is not true for any other brand in India.

Use your choke every morning to start the engine.

A bit low in fuel efficiency.

Gets heated quickly when you take it on a long ride.

The bike has a no nonsense design.

It has one of the best road-grips with respect to its size.

The best gear ratios for a bike.

Not to forget is the acceleration. It is quick and smooth.

The engine's sound is great and makes every ride a pleasurable experience.

Needs a fork overhaul about every 12000KM.

Side locks get stuck and need replacing every 2 years.

Fuel cock had to be replaced after 15000KM.

Neat acceleration, cutting through is so assuring, and is among the best at braking.

Not much of maintenance, other than fuel consumption (about 40KMPL).

Bearing failure at 12000km.

Electrics were problematic - battery failed at 10000km along with frequent other gremlins.

Handlebar lock is separate from the ignition and has broken 4 times to date.

Ignition switch has also failed and needed replacement.

Kick-start gear broke at 12000km.

Accelerator/odometer cable gear broke at 14000km.

Persistent cold start problem, which refuses to be fixed, even after timing, plugs,ignition coil, carburrettor were all checked.

Accident damage caused the entire front suspension assembly replacement -- parts were not available for this interim model, and I had to fit RX100 forks which incidentally, are better than the originals.

Performance is excellent -- no complaints there and every ride is pure joy.

I love the acceleration, the smooth power of the engine, and the lovely exhaust note.

Handling is good, but hampered by the brakes which are drums all around and poor. Replacing them with discs is not economical as the forks need replacement too.

Original headlamp was very weak, which I had to replace with halogens

Fuel economy is ok -- only 30km/l

Main complaint is the quality - so many things should not go wrong, especially with such low mileage
