2) Can I use Gladiator front fork assembly with the RTR discs brake kit.

no u cant bcz the mounting and plate size are different ,also difficult to find out fiero hub to mount disk plate .otherwise u have to go for alloy wheels but it is very long proses

I'd rather prefer the stock RXZ genuine front disc setup for a perfect stock look and even braking

To get a clear idea of what I'm upto, I've listed the things to be done in stages. Before that, I'm looking at a bike which I don't want to get into extensive mod job which includes porting, chamber etc.

This is what I have in mind. A good street bike to make my adranaline rush.

So the obvious choices to make that possible were by:

- Head job
- RDD CDI
- Reeds
- Filter
- Upjetting.

Most of the above task will be taken care with RDD products.
As aargee mentioned, I'll a need a disk set up too with the this performance. But I'm not going for it at the moment. Will make sure that I mantain my drum brakes in good shape and if possible, replace brake pads every few 1000kms. Doesn't cost much.

So here is how it goes:

1) Procure the parts required. Would like to know from you experts as to which parts would I have to procure as far as the transmission is concerned (clutch plates, connecting rod, shaft etc).
2) Procure the fabrication / cosmetics parts (mirror, engine cowl, center & side stand, front mudgaurd, rear carrier, side covers and other minor parts.
3) Buy only the Gladiotor / RTR front fork assembly. Will even consider pulsars if its cheap. I know the RTR & Pulsar discs are good as I've used both of them. (would like to know feedback on gladiators disc assembly)
4) Get on with the Engine Work and at the same time, get the engine head mod by RDD.
5) During the engine work, get the painting work done.
6) Get a RDD CDI kit, filter (UNI) and reeds (I've asked my friend to enquire about the RZ reeds too from US)
7) Get the disk brake kit.
8) Get the 100/90 kit from RDD. This is the last of it.

Now my concerns are:

1) Although engine parts needs to be replaced based on wear & tear, I want to know which parts when replaced is good when I get a engine overhaul done.
2) Can I use Gladiator front fork assembly with the RTR discs brake kit.
3) Is 100/90 kit from RDD really worth. Cause I can get the re-winding of the coil done for 10% of the cost of RDD kit.

I am not getting all of the things done at one go. I might not go for a disc brake instantly after the engine mod, but will surely go for it within a couple of months.

I hope the things are clear now and wish suggestions, feedbacks are given based on the above route map/plan.

But aalop, didn't manarcane ask for the entire assy as such? Did he ask for Glad's assy with RTR's disc kit or am I missing something here?


So do all of us here , but where's it available?

Without porting, why would you modify the head?... Why would you fit a performance filter & Upjet the carb? All these mods are generally done after the work on the barrel. Please read & learn.

Stick to stock settings & you will really enjoy your ride. Mods are only for hardcore 2-strokers, who want every drop of performance from their machine.

It is too long to discuss everything, unless we have a look at the bike. If you are from B'lore then give me a call & we shall see what can be done. Search my Number from Spares forum.

P.S: You can't be obsessed with both Car & 2-T bike at the same time, you have to make a choice.

I'd rather prefer the stock RXZ genuine front disc setup for a perfect stock look and even braking but its difficult to find one,any way another setup is that of the apache looks cool too,lower pipes of the apache,disc of the apache,hub of the fiero,gladiator with apache? exactly cannot tell you have a look in case you prefer the apache setup

I'm doing the head mod to have a better compression. Also, I'm using the 4s head with a 5s barrel.

Performance filter is not necesarily done after a barrel work. Even if added on a stock bore, it will give out a better output.

The mod's I'm doing will definitely gain more performance than a stock one. And that's exactly what I'm looking at.

Just by plonking in a performance filter (Like, K&N / Pipercross / UNI etc), it will give more performance comapred to Stock foam filter is it? Well thats a news to me & even to my tuner. Good i am getting to learn quite a few things from you. Nice.

Are you sure on this one? Just by plonking in a performance filter (Like, K&N / Pipercross / UNI etc), it will give more performance comapred to Stock foam filter is it? Well thats a news to me & even to my tuner. Good i am getting to learn quite a few things from you. Nice.

P.S: Just one thing before i finish off, without touching the barrel, without working on the ignition, without working on the transmission (GB & Sproketing), it is impossible to get any noticable gains on RX135. You are simply burning hole in your pocket. Another question, have you ever tested a Stage 3 or 4 ported RX135? Try it & you will know what i am talking about.

Well Karthik,

It was a news to me as well when I first heard that a RD 350 makes as much power as a M800.

Yes, I have tested a stage 3 ported RX135 and a Shogun. Apparently I was jobless for about 9 months and all I did during this time was spend time in a garage where I used to get my bike serviced. Have spent over 100hours of practice session with the mechs there on a farm land prepared to track races.
