Great info Vijay. Unf. we generally find the routine white and yellow plating everywhere and not the green and black.

@vijaymeyou : Useful information there

I did get confused between the chrome and zinc plating for a min there.Is the life better on zinc plating or chrome plating.
But most of the parts in the pics are zinc plated rather than usually chrome plated.Usually only the spoke nuts are zinc plated here rest all the parts are chrome plated.

Yes they will undoubtedly.

Got hold of RXG wiring, checked the male/female sockets, they are matching with RDD Lighting kit. One down, uff!.

Need to see how the wiring harness would fit on RX100 reaching all the required plugins.

Great. Now all you need to do is hook up the wiring to the bike, connect all the lights, switches etc. use the stock 12v CDI and see if there is spark and then connect the RDD CDI wires . Use a new battery and connect the longest brown wire on the CDI to the wiring harness last.

Ok. But I have only RDD CDI which is in RX135. So I'm planning to run on stock CDI.

Reposting my question here:-

Can I use RX135 stock 12v CDI on RX100? Here they do not have stock and asking me to check after.

Oh ok. What happened to the 100 CDi? a 135 CDI shouldnt be a problem. Be sure to time the bike right.

I could not recognize as it had no information on the box. Thought would procure a new one.

Thanks Nitesh, will try to procure a RX100 CDI unit, if not will go for RX135's.

Be sure to time the bike right.

I believe plonking RX100 stock CDI would not require timing as I can fix in the slot provided on the lighting kit, correct?

Do we need to time if I it happens RX135 CDI unit on a RX100? I thought only if we are placing RDD CDI unit. Right now, want to run the bike on stock and procure RDD CDI a little later.

Sorry for too many elementary questions, however, never shy to learn the basics, again!

yes, if the CDI is for 12v it should not be a prob. You will however need to time the bike as the kit does not come with any fixed slots. If timing is a problem , just plonk the coil plate fully clockwise and run n check.

Shouldn't that be full anti-clockwise? Because I have the guide taken out from RDDreams long back, when refered, it says we need to drill holes next to coil plate on to the left. Ok, let me attach the pic and guide me if I'm wrong in my understanding.

This additional hole is to advance the timing by a few degrees ,for stock timing setup this will not be necessary...otherwise we can always use the timing light and find out by ourselves and set it right......

Yes the hole has to made to the left of the stock hole. Which means the plate will turn clockwise when you mount it. Check the directions of the arrow in the pic.

Thanks Sir. Since this is going to be stock, might not need to work much on timing light I thought.

Thanks Nitesh. Since I'm going to run stock for the time being, will fix on to the right extreme of the slot.

Congrats and all the best

If you decide to install new Chrome mudguards, try to get Araldite coating done on the inside. Prevents from rusting.

Heeyyy thanks for the info..will try on 100 restored a yr back...and in process of second one.

Just fixing it fully CW will make the timing too advanced on a stock CDI. Pls use a timing light and keep adjusting the plate till you get a proper timing on the light.

Alright, will keep this in mind.

Update:-

I always wanted to protect the fenders from rust. Thought of painting it with some corrosion resistant paints. So visited few shops and finally bought under chassis paint for cars. It's a liter Tin pack only available. After coming back home thought would go to terrace for the paint work. Since Chennai shines generously and would not take much time to dry.

So dived into the pile of boxes to pick the fenders out. Opened the fenders to look and it was to my surprise that it already had a paint coat looked like some epoxy/enamel. I was able to see some traces of paint sprayed mild on the bolt slots.

Any thoughts?
