Thread: planning to buy a RXZ 5 speed. Help me please.

hi guys, i am planning to buy a RXZ 5 speed. Before making the deal i would like to know a few things.
What about the availability of spares for RXZ 5 speed? Is it hard to find or freely available?
How maintenance free is the bike? What about the cosmetic items like side panels and headlight fairings?
The nature of my job prevents me from hunting parts! The only bike i like to have other than rxz is the fz, but its a 4 stroke and i like the 2 strokes.
Except for the engine i like the FZ. So please give me all the valuable inputs.
Should i buy the rxz,the only reason for my second thoughts are the spare availability.
Help greatly appreciated!

Query Approved

Yes we get the parts of RX100 as well as RXZ in Yamaha SVC.

Confirmed with the Showroom in Dombivili. But they said that we need approx 1-2 week for parts to come. And we have to pay some amount in advance.

RXZ parts aew very rare and expensive. But you can get them from old dealers . Most of the new dealers do'nt deal in 2 stroke parts. body parts and major engine parts are hard to find You can get them if you are ready to pay premium. check the below thread , you will most of the stuff here. If you have a busy job, get a good bike , even if you pay more you will have less thngs to hunt and fix...good luck
