RX 135 and touring? need some insight
Hi guys...I just now went through a thread about a tristate meet of XBHPians and thought of joining them this time..I have a RX 135 5s and if i want to go on a tour of minimum 1000k trip on it , would that be a gud idea?? this is not a specific question about my bike ...i am generally asking about RX 135 in view of a touring bike..and if this is a good idea should some changes be done on it to suit the ride comfortably??? suggest your ideas and please correct me if i am wrong in my views!!!

Keep your ride in top notch condition. Do all the required service & ensure that you've necessary consumables with you.
I'm riding to the TSG2G on my Rx from Chennai. Do you need any more convincing answer?Skill is what keeps you on a Motorcycle

I have choice to be done from my YBX / RX100 / Lightning 535...have done many a trips on my 535, let me try on some smaller machines....Originally posted by dpak89 View PostCool aargee!!! you are coming for this trip to munnar on your RX ??? super bro!!
i thought you had a standby ride!! 
aargee - Just a layman's question - Read through in some thread that a YBX is better in terms of performance than a RX 100, how is that? why is it on tracks YBX is preferred in the Group D than a RX 100, is it just because of the 25 CC additionalNever Give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.

Sorry I've no idea on this one. May be YBX has a better PWR; again just an assumption. I could be completely wrong though.Originally posted by rameshmadhavan View PostRead through in some thread...is it just because of the 25 CC additional
Better can start a new thread & provide the source info so that it has a good attention.Skill is what keeps you on a Motorcycle

I do on premix & both premix & oil pump works on long hauls without an issue. But wondering, if you haven't operated using an oil pump, then what's the problemOriginally posted by dpak89 View Postfor long rides does it suit?? i have never operated my machine on oil pump!!!

Its a myth!!!Originally posted by dpak89 View Posti just have a fear( psychological feeling :P ) that premix may not do good lik pump in long rides !!!
I'll let Sriram answer this one, rather than you hear from me as he's the one who's experiencing both of them recently.Skill is what keeps you on a Motorcycle

aargee , again is there any other spcific steps or changes to be made for long rides in our bikes?? sorry for asking again :S because i could'nt just digest the fact that RX ( i have not taken my Rx for rides more than 70km also) can be just like that ridden for a long ride without any change if it is in good condition(condition is never bad when it is with a person who respects and cares his RX lik anything
..) !! :S

I did a ripping ride (read speeds between 80-110) between Salem to Krishnagiri along with Unicorn, GS150R, CBZ Xtreme during the last TSG2G. Another ripping ride (read speeds between 100-110) between Vellore-Chennai along with Kwacker 250, R15s, ZMA & P220s. Ofcourse, I was trailing in this group
I once again stress, if you know how to listen to exhaust, watch how the motorcycle moves & take care of your ride, you can even do a equator run even with a 50CC motor.Skill is what keeps you on a Motorcycle
