Sniper 135 from YAMAHA


Yamaha Sniper 135, also known as Yamaha Spark 135 in Thailand, Yamaha Exciter in Vietnam and Yamaha Jupiter MX in Indonesia and Singapore, is a small underbone bodied motorcycle manufactured by Yamaha Motor Company which is also a kapchai model with the largest displacement ever. Powered by a water-cooled 135 cc 4-stroke engine, the Sniper135 is specially designed by the parent company in Japan for Southeast Asian market.

There are two versions available, the hand clutch version with mags/cast type rim and Automatic clutch version with spoke time rim.

These are its fabulosu features :

* DiASil (die-cast aluminum cylinder) which has better heat conductance to dissipate excessive heat easily.
* Lighter forged piston
* Roller bearing rocker arms with less friction than typical rocker arms.
* 4-valve water-cooled engine - The 4-valve engine configuration provides better volumetric efficiency compared with other 4-stroke kapchai models which uses 2-valve engine design, enabling the engine to produce higher torque at high rpm. However, the engine displacement of 135 cc limits the ability of air-cooling system while retaining the small kapchai design at the same time, therefore water-cooling system which has better cooling efficiency is used.
* Carburetor with throttle position sensor - The Y135LC uses Mikuni VM22 carburetor equipped with throttle position sensor for more precise ignition timing, increasing the engine's efficiency.
* Catalytic converter - Even though most 4-stroke kapchai models are capable to surpass strict emission standards without even using the catalytic converters, Yamaha has taken an initiative to install a catalytic converter to the Y135LC to surpass even stricter emission standards in the future.

SNIPER 135 embodies the challenger spirit and expertise that YAMAHA has accumulated over the years in races around the world. This is the first ASEAN moped to feature a liquid-cooled 4-valve engine. Its sleek form was designed to ensure excellent riding dynamics and deliver unprecedented performance. If you are a real rider .... SNIPER 135 is your best choice.
