    whats next after fixing Cylinder.

    Hi Guys,

    some of you might recognized me bcoz of my Shogun piston in Rx100 Cylinder(was a mess).

    Now i have planned to go for a new OE cylinder kit. for my Rx100 88 model. is it available? how much it costs?

    More over i want to know that, whats next after installing cylinder? should i be running in 30kmph or 40knph for 2k or 3k/Km?
    After running specified Km's should i have to try maximum speed in each gear?

      The basic idea is not to lug it, run at high/constant rpms and also maintain enough pressure in the bore so that the rings seal properly. Personally I think wet run-in is just overrated when you can dry run-in much easier breaks in very early. Some even say it takes only 1 hour for a new top-end to break in. What about your crank and engine bearings? it is advisable to replace the bearings and o-rings.

        After installing cylinder, you need to bolt the studs followed by cylinder head ; jokes apart, If its a genuine OE cylinder, then, strict under 40 Kmph upto 200 Kmph & then you can go upto 50 for another 300 Kmph. But to be on safer side, follow the Escorts manual.

          Read the above 200 Kmph as Kms & 300 Kmph as Kms. Thanks for pointing it out @Activa

            If u don't get a genuine yamaha CP kit then get a Diamond one.It's easily available and would do the job untill u get genuine one.
            1)Original yamaha CP kit or Diamond Cp kit
            2)Crank repair if needed(check wid ur mech)
            3)OIL seal kit
            3)Packing kit
            4)Engine main bearings
            This is all i can recall.
            will let u know more if missed iut something.

              Any specific reason as why this needs to be changed without checking the present condition

                    Definetly not.8000 KM done till now using Diamond kit.No heating issue as far.Decent mileage of 35-40.If OEM is not available then why not Diamond?

                      Don't get me wrong, engine bearings are the last one to be changed not only in Rx, but on any motorcycle as it has adverse affect on the center casing. I'm not sure if you know this or suggesting this still knowing about the implications.

                      BTW, do you know how these bearings are removed?

                        How about the Goetze CP kit???

                        Any idea about the same?? or any personal experience?

                          Goetze sells pistons that I'm aware; do they sell cylinder & piston kit together? I haven't heard.

                            Correctomondo Goetze is into piston and ring manufacturing they don't make barrels. I think what he is talking about is the aftermarket cylinder barrel that comes with goetze piston. Saw one yesterday had Yamaha RX100 written on both sides.
