  • Urgent help required for RX 5Speed

    Hi and hello friends,i require some very imp help from you guys if anyone can pls provide me with the magnet side both the covers of the RX 5speed i will be really very greatful,any type of help/source.
    A friend of mine was able to buy a used one and the bike was not in a good condition besides the engine,so he decided to give it for painting when the bike as dismantled and given for painting,the painter found that the magnet side cover was already broken so he returned to my friend the cover telling him to buy a new one give as it could not be repaired or welded (till then he would start with the other work) we both have searched the cover every where in pune showroom,local shops,scrap shop even at the Yamaha showroom but they all said "NO"
    On the other side all painted stuff was ready with the painter,and he gave us another shock that the small round cover which is on the magnet cover is being misplaced now its a big problem that even if the bike is ready it will not have the full magnet side where the clutch wire goes the painter honestly said it i will pay you what ever the charge it and will also try to arrange if possible with some links said "OK"no other words had a small quarrel but then "SORRY"
    My friend is very sad and depressed for all this as this is his first bike,Before there was one problem only the big cover now it is double (big)magnet cover and also the round cover on it.Its a long time now we are searching this but cannot find it,so pls brothers any type of help will be heartly appreciated,i have attached a pic of both the covers required.

      If I understand you right @RX88, you'll need 2 covers on the left side to cover the clutch assy & 12V magneto assy for a 5 speed gearbox RX 135 right? Pls let me know otherwise.

      If this is the case, just give me sometime, say like end of the day or tomorrow, I'll see if I can source a new one for you from Chennai.

      OT - Shouldn't this question be addressed here - http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/thumpers...rx-family.html

          Bad news buddy - will be unable to get originals from Yamaha, unless someone holds up an old stock for which every known shop has to be visited.

              @JD - one pukka information is that Yamaha has discontinued supporting 135 5S. There're no heads available & dealers will not be able to see the part numbers through online from this week.

                  Why not you guys give a try with 4 speed's cover as of now - provided if it fits in.

                    First thing if we replace this cover to that of the RX it will look funny half engine 5spd and half RX i suggested the same thing to my friend for time being let the bike work with the RX cover when we find the 5spd cover we will remove the RX cover and put the 5spd cover.
                    But he was not happy i could make out from his face but even i am disturbed in this situation lets hope for the best if we find this part or else we dont know where this build will end i hope some of our XBHP members find this cover and help us out

                      i am waiting for one set of shipment from malaysia with RX parts. IF and a big IF that comes thru successfuly, then i am planning to order these covers from there. But it will take atleast 2 months before i can confirm anything ok.

                          @RX88 - Two things I can suggest in this situation only if you desire.

                          1. For the time being, try to procure used covers (even paint them and use it)
                          2. Search out of Pune. Try and get every possible help from your friends circle to see if they were able to get in their town. Trust me, it helps!

                          You would also be able to gain some good relations for your future requirements.

                              Let me do my spade work on this and try to find out for you.

                              Also, if you going to try in big cities even the common ones would be rare.

                              Go small towns and find out. Nasik, Nagpur solapur and many more small towns would help to get some information. If I were you would try these places.. think! small towns where the parts movement would be slow, you might be lucky..

                              Somethings we need to think out of the box and be out of our homes to get them.. Trust me, I did and was able to get what I wanted. However, could not find the 5 speed cases there.
