[sudhir kumar]

Hi friends ,
I am a old biker,I am about to buy this yamaha rxz135,4 speed 1998 model for frequent use.The amount of this deal is Rs 5000/- only (unbeliable).Ofcourse this bike is in need of a good overhaul.mileage is not concern for me because It will be used for two weeks with a gap of 3 or 4 months.After buying; i will perform a simple painting job & engine job.Please suggest me that is it worth buying?

Fishy!!!
Check whether its not a stolen bike, had a very bad accident and the frame is bent/twisted, involved in an accident and a case is pending on it!!

Stay away, parts for RXZ are extremely rare. You can opt for Rx100 or Rx135 4 speed model instead.

For 5k, If u dont buy it, I will.

But please ensure that the RC book Engine and Chassis numbers correspond to that of the bike.

As for spares availability, only the body parts are different ... the rest is the same.

Also u may not get OE body parts, but Local makes are easily available and are not too bad either.....



best wishes.

yup. check papers, engine and chassis number, and make sure they are not hand stamped ( alignment of the numbers will be a dead giveaway ). For 5k, and if you spend about 25k on this bike, you will/can have a gleaming new machine.

Check the frame for rusting, bends, and the petrol tank for leaks.

From the looks of it I think it has been through an accident or something. Make sure you check chassis alignment as well!

Sry to bother, isn't the exhaust of RXZ different from the engine? Reason I'm specific on this is because, that's the note that distinguishes RXZ in the RX series.

Also u may not get OE body parts, but Local makes are easily available and are not too bad either.....

Me being a OE freak, know very well that there's only a supply for RED for now, all other colors including black are extinct.

it is not stolen(i am the second buyer only,buying directly from the origina l owner).Bike may be involved in light accident but frame is not bended anywhere,dent marks on silence are the gift of local mechanics.

body panels are in good condition needs only painting,What about the avaibility of engine parts.Currently i want to make it just movable(it is in runnig condition but ring & piston is to be changed).

I dont have budget of 25k but i can spend 10k currently.What will be the estimate if i perform a basic white painting work on body, black on engine and strictly recommended engine overhaul ?

I don't know what to say, but one thing for sure, if you want to restore it, do it right today like there's no tomorrow. Part are getting scarce day by day with no good mechs around. Ppl who call mechs as friends are being taken for a ride without their knowledge.

The point is, try staying away if you need to enjoy your ride, otherwise, sweat, bleed & enjoy the immense satisfaction it gives. This is all I got to say.

One example I'd say is, I've been searching for a VM22 carb for over 2 weeks now & till now there're lots of PMs on the offer but none of them are costing less than a hefty amount. I think the box piece doesn't cost so much & there're so much margins ppl are adding because of parts scarcity. So keep in mind about all these things before you buy.
