TOP SPEED ISSUE


One of the most debatable issues of the motorcycle is the top speed, specifically for the Malaysian model. Speedometer error on Malaysian models actually indicate that the motorcycle is going much faster than the actual speed. Testing using GPS confirmed that the speedometer shows approximately 30% higher than the actual speed, which is unusually very high.

Below is a simple table to indicate the actual speed of Malaysian's 135LC from the speedometer :

135LC speedometer (km/h) 90 100 110 120 130 140 150 160 170 180
Actual speed (km/h) 69.4 77.0 84.8 92.4 100.2 107.8 115.6 123.2 131.0 138.6

Our 4-stroke moped segment market share had further increased to 27% fuelled by the strong demand of the 135LC model,” said Mr CH Ng, Managing Director of Hong Leong Yamaha.

It provides customers a sense of fun and enjoyment in riding,” said CH Ng. Image The 135LC Extreme Spirit comes with many new features like floating type 267mm diameter
