congratulations sriram!

great start ! waiting for long time to see new Rx100 2012 model.

mine is 2007 model

**SriramEfunds** · 03-31-2012, 05:06 PM

Thanks Vijay.

Update:-

Got up early by sacrificing sleep. Have a small list of parts to be purchased. The first among them was the rubber for the bike. What tyre? what brand? What pattern? What's the price? With too many questions headed out in a metro project chaos hit roads towards the Tyre market area, Whites Road.
After visiting few shops, finally got into a store to see all the brands under one roof. That's where I got lost which one to buy among. I had Ceat Gripp, MRF Moto-D, Nylogrip, Continental, Michelin Sirac Street and M45. It was not easy to settle down to buy quickly. With so many brands and models even more it became tough. Since I've already running RX135 on Michelin in the rear and I felt it is quite good. However, M45 is also a good one but finally heart won for Sirac Street. So decided to give RX100 a Michelin Sirac Street for both front and rear.It is a combination of hard and semi hard component.

All the best SriRam on the rebuild....
looking forward to see the new born machine

**aargee** · 03-31-2012, 06:11 PM

Why am I seeing one tire bigger than other or is it due to raised platform

Shouldn't both of them be of the same 18"?

Both are 18". Since it was slanted on to the grill might have looked different.

The best combination of rubber available today.Good choice.
This rebuild looks like its going to show how the RX-100 should have rolled out of the factory.

O.T: Found this . It could be used as a donor bike,just a thought and at this price its a steal.

@ Sriram, these are the same tyres that i've got on mine & trust me they go great on drum brakes, not that they'll be bad on disc set-up, they perform in par with any other tyre available out there.

P.S. Did you know that Michelin has stopped these tyre patterns & are not in production anymore?

I don't want to set the expectations high, at the same time trying my best with limited ability.

Since I'm running M45 on my ZMA, Sirac Street on my RX135, thought would go in for Sirac Street for both the wheels.

Michelin Sirac(imported) has been stopped and introduced Sirac Street which is manufactured in India. Michelin stopped M45 importing into India. Last few might be available with the tyre stores.

RX componet Grading

Hi Sriram,

attaching the componet grading referance page for you new build.

componet grading will be done at factory assembly line .

but this will be helpful for 2012 (special )batch for home assembly.

Vijay

**SriramEfunds** · 04-05-2012, 12:34 AM

^^ Thanks alot Vijay for the wonderful piece of information. Infact, this is the first time ever hearing about the color code combination, though I'm somewhat aware about the batch codes with cylinder and piston code matches. Never knew about the crank assembly and roller bearing combos. I'm going to check the roller bearing. I suggest you to post in Information RX FAQ thread started by Karthikduttag long back.

**yamdoot** · 04-05-2012, 01:03 AM

@ Vijay.. Nice upload. But the alphabet grading is different for RX100 and 135. The one above is for 135.

**vijaymeyou** · 04-05-2012, 01:19 AM

Doc its from yamaha RXG escorts workshop manual page no 67.

Can anyone help me with similar information for RX100? If yes, least would help me have some references.

EDIT: Checked the RX100 workshop manual and did not find any color code chart like posted above.
