      Start a new thread & we will see what can be done. You may be new to the thread as well as the bike, but atleast pen down your thoughts on what are your expectations from the bike.

      You said,"Powerful", but how much, street use can be in the range of 12 to 18BHP (For RX135), depends on what you want !!!

            The old model 5 speed Rxz magnet covers used to come with the hole that you have currently as i have the same one on my RXG135(5-speed) But with that cover you have to use an old model 135 oil pump. I am suprised how you are using the new pump. The later 5 speed models had the covers which you see in my pics along with the new model small oil pump.
            Will be visiting Pune next week dont know about December as i will be having a very busy schedule. Do give a buzz once you are down, will be a pleasure to get in touch with you
            Cheers!
            you know arun the time i purchased these covers i didnt knew much about the small/big oil pump but i asked the guy, No need of any change will this support the same oil pump,he then said no his cover has a cross oil pump slot(like in this pic you showed) so it needs a small oil pump,and it will not support the old big oil pump,he practically showed me two oil pumps big/small and then the matched the slot and said "sir now you see this is the old big oil pump the two hole of this one is not matching the holes that of the cover,then he replaced it with the small oil pump and said now you see this one matches face to face that of the cover and the small oil pump so i gave a thought and also bought the small pump and when we started to replace the cover and the pump & came across with this prob. hole and pully slot not matching

              I feel it must be some manufacturing defect Maybe i am wrong!

              • wow !! your efforts well appreciated ! neat job done there...the blue is looking absolutely cool ! i myself rode this one for some time and was wanting to restore it...but with insufficient funds and lack of spares i quit the idea...glad you took all those efforts especially in finding those parts ! congrats !

                lol...23k on the engine ! rofl...you would be surprised to know a 1998 RXZ was sold for 3.5k back here...was quite a decent and well maintained bike with a smooth engine...
                A very good and safe biker not only because he can pop up either of the wheels,scrape his knees on a corner or go fast and make it look stylish but because he very well knows his limits and capabilities and has the patience to learn about others and ride safe ! :)

                    • 3.5k for a 'Z' was the seller in his senses or he just got rid of it,even if he dismantled the bike and sold it as parts he would have surely got more than 15k i guess or may be more as parts are rare to find,a brand new 18gear cyle is also costlier than the price he sold any way lucky is the one who got it congrats

                        it was one of my uncle's bike...and a few years ago after he passed away my aunt had just given it to her neighbour to ride...the idiot got rid of it later and was content with 3.5k..

                        funnier part: the guy who bought for 3.5k invested some money(dont know what changes he made) and again sold it for 5k...lol

                            Great Job on the restore dude. The bike looks amazing. Another beauty to add to your collection.
                            Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle!
