dear all LC owners, i'm looking to buy a second hand LC but i need some helps and i would like to get some opinions from u all.

i know there are 2 versions(v1 and v2) of LC for both models ES and SS. After some research, i knew that the v2 ES has 5 gears and rear disc brake while v1 has 4 gears and rear drum brake. There are also some little diff on the technical spec like weight, max output, torq etc.

Apart from all the technical parts, my questions are:
1) is it both versions made in the same country(msia/thailand)?
2) is there any diff on durability such as v1 is more durable than v2, or may be v1 has better carburetor etc?
3) actually i prefer the ES version more than the SS but is there any drawbacks of the ES version?

thank you all in advanced. Hope to hear from u guys.

es is more heavy at high speed and less getar and smooth drive train compare to 4 speed , of course got clutch ...
and better accesories , but got few case like melvin last time gearbox pecah maybe got cacing haha ...
btw new lc is using better carb cause the carb tukar already from bs25 to new one but duno what name
but if u suka relax driving ss is more then enough btw top speed for es and ss is almost same cannot say which is faster
es is more likely reach top speed 120 easily then ss

really appreciate for your reply.

according to what i found, the v1 lc(2010) is using VN22 carb(from here) while the v2 is using BS25(from yamaha official website and also brochure). So i think the BS25 is the new carb.

Few years back i drove Suzuki RG. Actually i like Yamaha 125Z but i heard from afew motor shops said it is a very hot target for the motor thieves. And some said the FC is bad, and some even said the price of 125Z is over coz goreng too high dy. The reason why i like 125Z is because it is a 2T bike as i'm used to 2T bike and cluth. So the alternative of my selection where the bike with cluth is ES now. The v1 speedometer looks better compare to the v2(juz my personal pov).

I saw quite alot in mudah.my and call them, alot of them are sold. So if the quality of both versions are almost the same, i think geeting a v1 is enough, juz w/o the 5th gear and rear disc brake.

I called those sellers, and i found a few options as below:
1) 2010 ES ~RM5000 - 28k mileage, everything standard.
2) 2008 ES ~RM5250 - 9k mileage seldom use, everything standard.
3) 2008 ES ~RM4500 - 37k mileage, already changed to bigger block and ecu/cdi(not sure which one), other standard.
4) 2009 ES ~RM4200 - 79k mileage, changed to 125z sport rim with rear disc brake, other standard.
5) got some other SS model, but will be last choice if cant get ES.

Of course i wish to get a lower mileage bike but not sure what is a reasonable mileage for one year. 10k km per year?

low mileage = low damage to bike, but it depends on riders usage, if cermat2, then it still in good condition, 10k km per year? not actually, mine 15k+ per year, better you choose with all standard due to insurance coverage, low service cost,

btw this only for 2011 upper lc es only got 5 speed gear box
else old lc es and lc is almost indentical only crankshalf and clutch is differeny
btw new lc is fz engine i mean almost same lol
and dont buy 2nd bike that have been modified before... could be many barang sampai masa already
and millage can be change one , like chging meter etc

ic, thanks for all the valuable info. i guess the option3 and option4 can be removed from the list dy. As i heard that lc block cannot bore, has to change new one, is it true?

Option2:
As for the option2(2008 ES ~RM5250 - 9k mileage), i've talk to the owner. He told me the roadtax is already expired since 2010 so i have to take the bike for inspection at puspakom, i have to renew the roadtax and insurance by myself. He offered me RM4800 if i do all those procedures myself. Although the mileage is low but RM4800(having include all those insurance etc) for a 2008 bike is quite pricy compare the 2010(option1) bike.

Option1:
As for the option1 bike, it costs rm5000. But the insurance is till Jun 2013. If mention on the appearance of the bike, the 2008's is newer and nicer.

May i ask is the reg year important or mileage(if it is not adjusted before) more important?
