The Yamaha RX-Z 135 is a two-stroke naked bike manufactured by Yamaha Motor Corporation. Debuting in April 1985, the RX-Z was very popular in Malaysia and Singapore and Thailand and was sold from 1985 until production was ended in 2011.

In 2004, the RX-Z had a restyle and a catalytic converter was installed.

Overview

The first generation of the RX-Z (1985) was originally equipped with a five-speed transmission with solid front disc brake. The model shared the same platform and chassis as its predecessor the RX-135. The RX-Z became very popular among young motorcyclists in Singapore and Malaysia. A few years later in 1990, the engine was upgraded with a six-speed transmission, together with the introduction of the Yamaha Computerized Lubrication System or YCLS, as well as a new front cowl and new a gauge cluster.

The third generation RX-Z came out in 2004 when the model was updated, with the rear lights borrowed from the Yamaha Y125Z and is equipped a catalytic converter due to Euro 3 regulations and production was only up until 2011.

In Malaysia, the RX-Z was one of the motorcycle models often associated with Mat Rempits. ^[2] As a result, many Malay movies including Remp-It use the RX-Z in their movies.

Present day and the RX-Z is very popular now in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. Prices now are skyrocketing in Malaysia as in 2020 one hereby sold for 70,000 Malaysian Ringgit 'RX-Z Selling for RM70,000'. because it had rare and all original NOS Yamaha Genuine parts.
