u'll get a crappy rx in even 3k.but that's the scene here.
a total rebuild will cost 8k-15k, excluding cost of the bike.
since u want a complete rebuild,check the frame, crankcase,swingarm,and gears.
if all these r ok,u'll be gud to go.
but,remember, a proper rebuild will cost u more than a gud bike.some have even spent urto 20-25k on rebuilds.
so decide ur money.as where it can go.
all parts of rx-100/135 can be found quite easily.
u'll have problem finding rxz cosmetics and such
as for the cost of spares, all are approx
bore-3500
shocks-750
forks-1200
crank-3200
silencer-chrome, not catcon,costs1500 the last time i checked.
the crank case covers -3000
swingarm-800 to 1200(not sure)
frame-3500
so that there itself is around 17k
now, u'll have to add the new bearings, repainting and all such "small" stuff
of'course there are always alternatives.u can hunt a few junkyards or scrap dealers for gud used goods.that way it may cost 8-10k.
get ur priorities right.or u'll end up spending a lot.

I went to the junkyard and picked 2 RXG bores and one 5 speed bore..all at 0.75mm oversize..Cost me 600 buks for the lot :P

but yea..spares are getting expensive by the day..cranks seem impossible to find already..Good option is to get a second hand crank and get the malay RXK conrod just make sure the crank is std pin thats all

I too am interested in picking up an RX100 around 5K and restoring it. I have a few questions though -

->How much will a re-bore and port job cost approximately ?
->If the bore has to be changed, can a 135 bore be fitted without changing too many internals(4 gears sufficient for city use + student budget~!)
->Could you please tell me the cost of a set of clutch plates, timing chain & chain + sprockets.
->What is the stock no. of sprocket teeth on the RX100(Fr. & rear) ?

desideep

seems you are brand new to the two stroke world..

firstly there are not timming chains in here.

if you buy it for 5 grand i am sure it would be in a shagged condition expect around atleast 6K to build it. you can call teji in banglore he would be able to help you in all possible ways
