My RX 5 speeder - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

Got this 2001 Model RX 5 speed

It was total junk and engine was junk..

This bike is basically for fun i don't commute on this much , i wanted a strong reliable engine and looks and other are secondary so kindly ignore visual appearance.

List of Mods
Brand new 5 speed kit with ART Pistons
New crank
New bearings & Seals
New Clutch and pressure plates
New Clutch Basket
New Seat
Light weight Alloys + Tyres
Gladiator Front Forks & Disc Setup
New Chain Set
Fiber Reed Valves
Expansion Chamber by BG Srinivas
Autolite Spark Plug
Vesrah Exhaust gasket
Pulsar gas filled rear shocks
Petronas 2T 5000 being used

I have done any porting to my bike but i still very fast due to the expansion chamber by Srinivas !!

Clocked 120kmph true on straight road , which is more than enough for a standard bike and me ( Recorded n GPS and Speed Gun)

Some Pics of the same , I hope you like it !!

Chiragh good work, not to offend you but a stock rx 5 speed with a head mod done by Ron does true 120 on straight, with these heavy mods you should looking for more.

hey friend
was that rear tyre a direct fit ??
looks like a 100 / 90 or a 4.00 -18
has it affected handling ?

psycho 98 · 07-12-2009, 09:30 PM

^^ No its not you need to loose the chain guard for this tyre.

outworldly maniac · 07-12-2009, 09:37 PM

psycho 98 · 07-12-2009, 09:42 PM
