Restoring a Yamaha RXZ (1997) - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

BigBore · 10-29-2010, 01:09 AM

Hello Everyone,

I bought this Yamaha RXZ (4-speed) 1997 and planning to restore it completely! Bike was in bad shape cosmetically as you can see the pics but the engine was very crispy and powerfull. I have started collecting spares for it and expect it to be ready in a months time. Keeping my fingers crossed so that i get all the desired parts i need for the rebuild.

Cheers!!

Good Luck Bigbore. Though you're more than capable to get hold of all the parts, let me know if you need anything from here, I'll do my best to source them for you.

Good Luck!!!
