Interesting.I've never seen a RX Tiger before.Does this model have explicit 'TIGER' monograms or is it just RX135? -
^^ not really. 5S was till 2004 only iirc. the last year they sold some funny Tiger model which had crux meters, crux indicators, and engine covers of the 5Speed, but was a 4 speed inside ( 12.5bhp + 4 speed gearbox ).
This is what makes the 5S so rare ( 14.5bhp and 5 gears )Leave a comment:

So when they stopped production due to the ban,4S and 5S were available simultaneously?
Really sorry but i'm new to RXsLeave a comment:

I saw ucal website which says 4S has VM22 where as 5S has VM20.
How can 14bhp be generated using smaller carb?upjetted version of rx100?
Is this true or is the website info wrong?

I had my doubts on this one, as the 5-speed carb looks smaller compared to 4-speed carb. As to why the company has gone for a smaller carb for a higher BHP bike, that only Yamaha knows the answer. Also IMO, the carb sizes matters based on Port timing & the design (Especially transfer ports) as well. The 5-speed barrel design is completely different as compared to 4-speed.
It is very difficult to point out as nothing is written inside, but for VM24 & VM26, the numbers are punched inside.
Another thing worthy of making a note is, the RX-K which makes around 18BHP & the RX-Z 6-Speed which makes 20-21BHP both use VM26, so BHP has not too much affect on Carb sizes in the above cases atleast.
@ Doc, if you have any info on the above topic kindly share.
Thanks.Leave a comment:

Guys, have a question on carb
1. What would be venturi size difference between 100, 135 4S & 5S?
2. Can I simply take a 100's carb, plonk the 165 MJ & 17.5 PJ & fit it directly on a 4S? Like wise, can I take the appropriate jets for 100 or 135 5S & get them fixed across?
Any input is appreciated.Leave a comment:
