Model history
The Yamaha T135 debuted in 2005 for the Thai and Indonesian markets, and then the Malaysian market in February 2006. The model was very successful in Southeast Asia especially in Malaysia.[citation needed]To promote the T135, Yamaha organized a 9,000 km (5,600 mi) road tour of ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) countries in November 2005 through May 2006, passing through Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines.[2]

It is also known as the Spark 135 in Thailand, Sniper in the Philippines, Jupiter MX in Indonesia, 135LC in Malaysia, Exciter in Vietnam, and T 135 Crypton X in Greece. It is made by Yamaha Motor Company and powered by a liquid-cooled 134.4 cc (8.20 cu in) 4-stroke engine. It is considered a better fit for circuit racing than its rival Honda Sonic 125 and the Suzuki Raider 150 and is one of the fastest 4-stroke underbone motorcycles in Southeast Asia.
In 2008, the fuel-injected version of the Yamaha Spark 135 was launched for the Thailand market, making it the second underbone motorcycle using fuel injection after the Honda Wave 125i. There are 3 main Yamaha factories that assembles T135. These are Indonesia, Thailand and newest is Philippines.[citation needed]
In 2011, the Yamaha Y135LC was facelifted with a new instrument panel. The transmission of the Malaysian manual clutch variant was revised to 5-speed transmission from the previous 4-speed.[1]

Model History
I have been using Yamaha 135LC Extreme Spirit 5-speed for almost for 4 month now. I have made a wish to myself that I will buy a new first model of this Yamaha 135LC Extreme Spirit 5-speed, and now my wish has been granted. My review will focus on my experience and knowledge about this popular bike starting from the first day I get it out from the shop to this day. Previously, I have been writing about Yamaha 135LC Extreme Spirit 5-speed, whether it is a good buy or not here. For me, the answer is both yes and no. Why?
The Yamaha 135LC Extreme Spirit 5-speed as we all know comes with 5-speed transmission. The clutch lever position and the softness of the clutch feels very good and it is very easy to control the power from the engine to rear tyre with it. My gripe is that sometime I miss the Neutral gear when I want to park my bike, even though the gear shift is smooth, but when I want to change to gear ’2′ while riding it, it easily slips to ‘N’ position. Maybe its me that is not good with the gear play.
I was once want to say that this bike is ‘Corner Master’ since it features the wide rear tyre that helps cornering and handling of the bike, but taking low angle cornering with this stock tyre is not recommended. I suggest you to get Battlax BT090 to the rear tyre that you can have Cub Prix style cornering which is very low angle attack. Wide rear tyre also helps in terms of balance and control when you have pillion rider. On narrow tyre, you will feel that is not easy to take corner when you have pillion rider, but with this IRC NR82 2.50 wide rear tyre, you will feel the balance and control are as much as the same like you are riding alone. Having wide have is side effect too since it is heavier and this will make the top speed is lower than what we can expect from this bike.
