I had a very interesting discussion with ashok george the other day, and i realised that as per the guidelines given to the auto industry, If any manufacturer discontinues a model, they have to give support by stocking and supplying parts for the next 7-10 years ( Im not sure of the exact years, but i think its 7 years). I remember it happened in the case of the matiz, and the cielo when it was discontinued, the company confirmed that parts will be available to all owners.


Case in point, yamaha. The RX135 series was discontinued in 2004-2005. Now the RX100 parts are available with the company, which was discontinued in 96, but critical parts like the cylinder block, crank etc are not available for the RX135 series, especially the 5 speed version, which came with a disc brake, and had higher power ( 14.5 bhp vs 12.5 bhp ).

My query to all lawyers, and 2stroke lovers. Can we do something about it?? its only been 5 years since the bikes have been discontinued, and no parts are available for the 5 speed, unless you find some which have been around for ages.

Can we put in a formal complaint to the company, citing this ruling ( obviously we will need the exact rule etc ), and then take matters further???

Any 2 stroke heads listening???

I do have a big list of parts to purchase, and im sure so will others if it works out!! hehe.
