Hi Folks,

Usually, I take the "on the move decisions", but to this one I needed the "Guru's" opinion - So, xBhp!

Firstly, thanks to JD I got a new bore-kit. I was running on the last size for 3 months or so. After I got it, I got it fitted and it's "fine" I mean no improvement in the pickup but the other aspects are good (like mileage, sound, etc....)

* It got me thinking, why not use the old bore kit (which is on last size) to increase the pick-up - Get it ported (1st stage) and see how it performs - Your suggestions are deeply appreciated

* My RX's fork assembly has problems (mechanic says it, although the springs were changed). I can feel it too - it's time to change! - With this, I was thinking of getting a pulsar disk set up - So the question is will this any way hamper the performance (added weight might drag a bit(?)), Also will this help in handling in any way? Main reason I brought this up here is that it'll not be stock anymore, so was looking for some real good reason to get it changed..

* How do I decrease the smoke emitted? (Its healthy you say? Wrong answer). I have seen RX's which emit smoke like "Bajaj RE Two stroke autos" and the ones which doesn't at all - I want to decrease the smoke emitted especially in the band of 40-60kms - help me please!

* Lastly, it's associated closely to the 3rd question - how do I decrease the noise? Even with out cat-con, some RX's dont have so much noise... Something to do with the muffler? (PS: I got a new muffler fitted, so it's not tampered, yet there is considerable noise)

Hey first of all congrats for the new bore/piston kit you are lucky to get one and thanks to jd also for helping our yammee fellow bikers.
If you are running the new bore kit on the bike enjoy a hassle free ride for another 10-15years with out any worries regarding your old bore as of now keep it aside may be in future you can use it with what ever mods you wanna do to it.
Regarding the front fork suspension yes its true that RX has a a bit tough sus compared to other bikes that does not mean to change the fork,what i did to my bikes fork is just changed the inner springs to that of the KB100 and it worked good almost similar to that of the KB,and believe me i landed up in a very good front suspension.
Regarding the smoke you will always find RX emitting smoke but it should not smoke that much like people start staring at you on the road,there is an oil pump setting cable try adjusting that surely you will find some change in the emission
RX is known for its exhaust note you cannot change the note of the bike,forget about the catcon,if you really want a soft noise like that of the RX135 i would suggest you fix the same silencer/muffler that of the RX135 may be you might find a complete change in the note

Thanks RX88,

Yes, the future is now .....

I changed the inner spring too.... Not much of a difference, want to know to use either "Pulsar 150 disk break setup or Stock"?

I use the pre-mix, not very comfortable with side oil tank.

Yes, you can do it, if you've the money & patience. However, you'll need to do change the piston & rings when changing the cylinder everytime. Piston needn't be new, but rings, yes, you need to change it everytime. You need to the same (change piston & rings) when you change the rebored cylinder to stock one. Most importantly when you change the cylinder, your bike should undergo a run-in period of 1000 Kms before opening the throttle.

Yes & it is noticable when you're racing in track

You need to get used to braking with discs

Use 18ml of 2T oil per litre of petrol & drive in strictest sane & never even above 60 Kmph even if you're chased by a Cheetah. You'll see negligible smoke.

You need to specially construct an exhaust with help of experts to reduce the noise.

You are being very modest mate! In the world of RX, getting a new bore kit is as good as finding a way to travel @ the speed of light in space frontier! Thanks again JD, I appreciate it a lot! No, I am not trying to make you uncomfortable

Thanks aargee.....

I wont be interchanging it a lot of times. Port it and get the last drop of performace out of the old bore-kit, put it in a glass box, seal it and have it as suvonior

I dont see myself going to the race track, for city driving is it convinencing enough to change the 'stock look'?

Yep, have a pular - used to disk breaks

More or less I use that amount of 2T usually it's 120ml of oil with 5lts of petrol... And strictly I haven't crossed 60 in my RX after getting the new bore kit... Has any one tried various different 2T oils and seen which make/brand gives lesser smoke?

Where do I find one in B'lore

If planning a disc setup, go for the gladiators setup. direct fit and works great. better feedback than the pulsar's disc.

After your suggestion, I've bought everything that I need for it & will be soon setting it up. If you see my thread, just a few pages back, I've posted its pics. All I need to do is get 2 things; one - the suspension bottom & second one - time



I didn't understand; what performance is affected with disc brakes? I didn't understand it seriously!!!!

Ok

5 Lts to 120 ml is regular mix. I'm asking you to reduce it further for lesser smoke for you to notice. 5 X 25ml = 125ml whereas, 5 X 18ml = 90ml. Its makes a good difference

PS - I'm wondering why is it that you want to see lesser smoke emission?
