  • Painting white colout for RX

    Hi,......
    I have plan to buy RX100 or RX135. i saw a RX in white colour which looked great. i wish to paint my bike which i will get. kindly clarify few doubts,....
    1.) How much does it cost to paint like new bike? (seen many bike like taken from showroom)
    2.) Is it legal to change colour of bike? (dont want to pay for cops everytime)
    3.) Is it required to notify and endorse in RTO?
    4.) Do RX spares sold in yamaha service centre? (Read somewhere that RX spares would be sold from september 2010)
    5.) What parts can be used to increase 0-80kmph torque?

      1.) How much does it cost to paint like new bike? (seen many bike like taken from showroom) - It all depends on the Paint - MRF/Dupont/ imported etc. It would costs some where between 3.5-5k depends.
      2.) Is it legal to change colour of bike? (dont want to pay for cops everytime) Yes, you can change the color of the bike.
      3.) Is it required to notify and endorse in RTO? It is mandatory to endorse your RC. It would be vital when it comes to any insurance claim.
      4.) Do RX spares sold in yamaha service centre? (Read somewhere that RX spares would be sold from september 2010) - RX Spares? Man, you will need to have a good bank balance. Currently the parts aren't available at showroom at least the vital engine spares, be it 100 or 135. However, there are few sources who have stock from whom you can get but at a premium.
      5.) What parts can be used to increase 0-80kmph torque? I would suggest you to buy the bike first.

          Car or bike, doesn't matter. Any color change needs to be endorsed by the RTO, so that they can update the RC. Nothing illegal in it. However, some RTOs might require that you have some forms filled up before the color change as well, however, they will confirm the chassis and the engine serial number. All the best for your RX hunt.

            getting the colour changed on the RC book is important if
            you don't want hassles with insurance.

            RTO's hardly ever fuss over a bike that's been repainted.
