  • Yamaha RX series DIY tutorial Series.

    Guys,

    Presently I own all RX series bikes sold in India (My RXZ, is bought and is yet to reach me). As some of you are aware i do all my restorations myself. I and a friend were toying with the idea of creating a repository of DIY animations on how stuff works and how to repair/Replace items in Yamaha RX series bikes. The cost and labor involved with animation had killed the idea. So i was playing with my new DSLR camera and the idea struck me, why not videos. During my restorations in the past, Wiring was an item which most requested me to create. So i am starting the series with wiring. More to follow. Feel free to comment below if you need me to create videos on any particular topic.

              Another method to clean your carb, if you don't have an ultrasonic cleaner then don't worry, get a carb cleaner spray and attempt this.
