A post after a very long time, I hope all you stroker friends are flourishing. Just read this, which I wanted to share with you chaps.

Top Gear magazine's Richard Hammond agrees with us about the pleasure and scare-yourself-silly nature of two stroke motorcycles, on a Kawasaki KR-1S, a race replica 250cc Parallel Twin monstrosity which is a straight escapee from the Arkham Asylum. For your reading pleasure:

Technology wise Japanese were much ahead than us in the mid 70s itself. We are yet to catch them up.
In western countires the air cooled RDs were banned in mid 70s itself due to stricter emission norms and few other reasons but, unfortunately in India these are the best machines which are available till date, performance wise and built wise. Only recently bigger four strokes started rolling out claiming themselves to be an innovation of modern technology.

Question

Got few spare today to for the bike.
Just wanted to highlight a few things. I got the clamp, the petrol filter clamp(Part No. 2YA-F4568-00), though it looks original i doubt that it is, its just 20/- and has a packing date of 2010. The quality is good but still i have a doubt.Doesn't matter am Glad that i got this one.

Secondly, the DC packing kit (Part no. 1L1660100)that i got again didn't feel original.
My doubt was on the copper gasket that comes in the DC kit, it is all black on one side and we can notice the copper on the other side. The spares guy told that its cause of heat treatment(which is bull). Another thing was that the packing was of 2006 and doesn't have the usual Faridabad, Haryana address but N.Delhi address.(Clear my doubt please).

Other parts included the clutch plates, the fork oil seals and race bearing kit.

Part no. is spot on Asif. But I doubt the authenticity of the gasket. Even I bought one from Bangalore Wheels couple of years back and it looks like the same as yours. Masi is getting onto my hands. I hadn't noticed at all.

On second thoughts, even with Woriginal stuff how good is the quality anyways. Apart from the crankshaft assembly, I was not satisfied with a single spare during my recent 135 re-build.

Yes you are right. and apart form the crankshaft, for RX135 what i like is the ART piston kits, O.E clutch plates , carb manifold and of course the 4TL kicker. its clicking action cannot be imitated on any fake kick lever. Its just too good.

There was another guy who bought the complete packing kit and in that the copper gasket was as its supposed to be. The shop owner simply told thats for a 135.
I guess if i would have bought the complete packing kit for the 100, i would have got better copper gasket.

P.S: Forgot to mention incase anyone looking for the petrol filter clamp for the 100, the guys got a few with him.

Asif .. an item packed in 2010 for RX100 will have the 36L sequence part number ... 1L1, i think stopped in the Late 1990 ...

Almost certainly the item is a fake

If its for 135 forget cylinder kit. 100's cylinder kits are available at YASS. Clutch plates for either are the same and freely available. Crankshaft both (135&100), I am not sure. You might have to place an order perhaps but I don't think its as bad as cylinder kits.
