In the pantheon of motorcycling, few machines command the reverence of the Yamaha RX 135. Produced in India from the late 1990s until the tightening of Bharat Stage III emission norms in 2010, the RX 135 was not merely a commuter; it was a symphony of noise, vibration, and raw power. But the true soul of the machine—its logic, its limits, and its longevity—was not found in the fuel tank or the exhaust pipe. It was found in the greasy, dog-eared pages of the Yamaha RX 135 Service Manual.
The original RX 135 5-speed is a collectible. If you cannot find OEM pistons, you might use an RX King piston or aftermarket like Art or RDD. The service manual teaches you the stock dimensions (bore: 56mm, stroke: 54mm). With that data, you can safely calculate compression ratios and port heights when fitting non-standard parts. yamaha rx 135 service manual
