Query Approved.

thanks for the super-fast approval aryan

There is a service showroom just next to the porur signal.. check with them.. they do a good job...

I had an '88 model RX100... after the 20 years it had an engine problem and i showed it in a workshop and the guy told me the engine must be reworked and it will cost 4000-6000Rs/-... For full work of an RX100 (changing cylinder kit, piston, piston rings etc..), 8000Rs/- will be the maximum amount...

Don't know the case of a CD100... but this 10,000Rs/- seems to be......
Wait for other friend's comments...

Oh....will check out with them once, thanks for the reply


even i doubt it bro.....normally bajaj is famous for low-priced bikes and spares compared to its competitors...

and the SS guyz does'nt even know what the prob is, even before that they give a quote for 10k....does'nt that sound a bit fishy

Yes i really thinks its fishy... if it actually cost that much amount i will definitely suggest u to sell it and buy a new one...(not an second hand bike... coz... we don't need an old man... be a younger... jus kidding)... keep waiting for our buddies suggestions...

yeah she's giving me a lot of trouble now-a-days,my parents are asking me to sell her as i got my R15, but i don't get the guts to sell her nor my bro does.....she helped us all the time we needed.....

anyways getting back to the topic, she does'nt seem like having any prob with the engine as per me, as i'm not much experienced with engines...i thought xbhpians can help me out with the symptoms.....

looking at the 10K thing they quoted you for the whole bore kit and crank kit... possibly the timing chain, valves and labour are added in. that almost completes the changeable parts in the engine

Get your bike checked elsewhere and get a confirmation.

Also, it would be useful to get hold of a good mechanic outside and get the job done... Now a days over boring by .25mm without failure is possible and also if there is ply in the crank connecting rod, only that and the crank bearings can be changed. change the timing chain & valves too... all this shouldn't cost you more than 4K, with labour.

Unfortunately, the companies do not sell individual parts and push the complete kits... so do the authorized service centers.

Dai....the complete overhaul for p150's cost only 8-10k in svc's t self.......ask him if he intends to change the entire engine?

get it done from outside da! i wont cost u more than 4-5k.........heck my splendor overhaul costed only 6k including some panels, batteries head light assy and all the parts!

yeah....I just got the bike from the SS...when i questioned him that how come you can say it'll cost 10k without even knowing what the problem is, he said "sir, i gave you the cost for the bore,piston,crankshaft....ella wear n tear laam aagi irukkum {"engine who've had wear n tear"(thats the best way i can translate, wonder where he got that word)}" to open up the engine he'll cost Rs1500 as labour, he added.

thanks for the info you've given, i'll better check it up with a good mechanic and see what can be done

......thanks da machan.....

one more thing, when i started the bike, i heard some cut-cut noise from the engine, never heard it before, when i asked him he said its normal and will disappear when the engine heats up and well it did, but it did'nt appear before i left the bike for service....
