Thank You for the reply Sanjit. Yes, even the manual recommends rib type tyre for front. I installed 2.75 in front for my 100 and I didn't like it. Makes the front end heavy. 135 also has the same recommended specs as 100. So will install 2.5 on 135. Planning to try MRF this time around atleast for the front.Originally posted by sanjithjoseph View Post

Yes, me too not satisfied with the line tyres...but the mechanic says it has got advantages.
From what I heard is H4 bulbs wont get fit to the stock holder. Anyway it has to be changed because once we go for 90/100 light the holders should be 'Ceramic' ones, plastic ones will get melted at high temp.YAMAHA RX100 - 1986

I'm not against people having 100/90 headlight. However, would think 60/55w is more than enough, unless you only want to ride the bike on pitch dark/highway. Also, it causes temporary blindness to people coming in opposite direction is indirectly pose a thread to you. I'm using Philips 60/55w and it has a decent throw and illumination is pretty good and satisfactory.Originally posted by sanjithjoseph View PostYes, me too not satisfied with the line tyres...but the mechanic says it has got advantages.

Does Hella sealed beam comes with parking bulb provision? DCM toyota - Lumax make does come with and it just looks stock.RX100 1996 | Karizma 2004 | Karizma-R 2011 | RXZ 1999 | RX 135 1998 | RX 100 1993 | CBF150 2005 - 2011

Oh that sounds good. Yes, me too planning to get a 55/60 w bulb but the wiring to be done for 90/100.Advice me if there is any problem in doing so.
so that, if I feels like switching to 90/100 its just the job of changing the bulbs.
Hella sealed beam does't have the provision for parking bulb
,It has got the stock look. Thinking to make a hole by drilling to fit the parking bulb,but I'm in doubt whether it will damage the reflector coating
.
How about the quality of 'DCM toyota - Lumax'? and whats the approx cost?
In a shop when I asked for the 'DCM toyota - Lumax' light set he gave me the light set for 'Swaraj Mazda' and he told me that both uses the same one.
Since I got
did't buy that one. Is it so?, 'DCM-Toyota' and 'Swaraj Mazda' light sets are same?or can we use 'swaraj Mazda's' light set?
which lighting kit you are using?how is it? how much was the prices when you have done?
Me just love the brand 'Hella', great quality products they are. In my car also I'm using 100/130 wiring from 'Hella' and Osram 90/100 bulbs, the horns are also from 'hella'.Last edited by sanjithjoseph; 09-19-2011, 04:53 PM.YAMAHA RX100 - 1986

It's better to leave some than utilizing whole load. You can switch to 90/100w bulb anytime.Originally posted by sanjithjoseph View Post

Never fiddle with reflectors, chances of getting them damaged.Hella sealed beam does't have the provision for parking bulb

DCM Toyota is available. Swaraj Mazda and DCM Toyota are different. DCM Toyota comes with parking light provision from what I know of Swaraj Mazda. So you'll not required to do any mod like drilling for parking light provision. Also, if you don't require parking light for your bike so be it (Swaraj Mazda).How about the quality of 'DCM toyota - Lumax'? and whats the approx cost?

Lumax is decent produce of Indian Manufacturer apart from many offerings in the market. They costs around 115-125/- when I bought nearly 1.5 years back. You can change them when they get worn out over a period of time and will not bite you big.
The set up looks no different if used DCM Toyota reflects on RX. Stock look (with parking lights) and decent throw.
No doubt Hella is of top quality, only that you'll not have parking light provision should you insist.Me just love the brand 'Hella', great quality products they are.

@ all..............
From yesterday onwards me noticed that the gear oil is leaking. It is from the right side of the crank case. Just coming out of it drop by drop to the chaisis and to the ground. It was not there before. I have't done any work on the gearbox, Engine and not opened till now from the time the bike is with me.
A week before me changed the gear Oil with 'YamaLube' 2-Stroke gear oil..
I have checked all the screws tight or not and found everything is ok.
Anyway I will take her to the mechanic next day.
But what could be the reason?

But what could be the reason?
Step 2: Leave it idle in center stand for an overnight or something.
Step 3: Identify where exactly you notice the oil leak.
Step 4: Possible post a snap shot.
Step 5: Xbhp members will be glad to give inputs.
On the other side while you changed the gearbox oil, the washer might have worn out, might as well get it replaced. But strongly advise to follow up with above procedure so that we could learn if there are any other areas that has problem.

Sanjith, adding to what Sriram has said, make sure there is no crack in the engine casing specifically in the drain nut area. Also it is advisable to change the drain nut if you suspect it. Do let us know after the observation.

It is not leaking from the drain nut area...It is from the crank case joint where two pieces of crankcase join together.
