    Sri, have you checked the reed cage pipe dia? Is it different from 135's or has the same dia?
    You mean the rubber manifold? I'll need to check. As far as the tube is concerned, confident that it should be direct fit, however, let me reserve my comments for now.

      Odo - 600 kms

      Observation- Slowly taking the bike beyond 50kmph. Idles perfect. throttle response is so far satisfactory. Front left indicator rubber joint loose thus loose contact. Need to replace the rubber if not can bet set right.

      Got the powerbox of RXS100. Will need to find time to plonk on the bike.
      Good week end project...

                          Found time to fix the power box/YEIS. After plonking the powerbox it did failed to kick start in first attempt but after few. There was a drastic difference felt in the pull and even smoother. For first 5 kms or so, felt that there was a vacumn in the lower rpm and when raised it responded well but it vanished after. Now, I'm completely satisfied with this add-on. Good things happen without something bad, yes, I had bought the resonator pipe spring for use, unfortunately had misplaced and could not find it at all. Damn!

                          Report

                          Odo - 825 kms done
                          Idles - good
                          Timed - 22 deg (approx)
                          FE - detuned to give around 30's
                          Vibes - not felt
                          brakes - sucks! had changed the rear to ASK local make and it works better.

                          Issue/Observation:- Only after slight AFR adjustment bike tends to have some pull. Otherwise it is just good around 30-50 kmph!
                          Again, I'm not too ripping hard, reason? just under 1k km and with ever reliable brakes don't want to risk. However, touches 60 but needs some time to get there.

                          Question:- Does RX100 always scream even to reach 60kmph? In my RX135, would have just shifted to 4th. After this comparison, everything looks good, but something is not right feeling I get. This is scary.

                          Checked the carb and needle is on 3rd from top. AFR is set to 1.25 turns than earlier 1.75. Autolube works fine but then mixes 10ml/ltr on the tank as well to be safe.
                          Revvs freely, no knocking at lower gears nor felt bike jerks while deceleration. I've slightly bumped up the tyre size (rear 3.00 and front 2.75), don't think this should just bring down the show completely.

                          During the course of time, the throttle response has improved, but still not convinced to try some more.

                          I'm still not forunate to get the neutral switch cap (black rubber).

                          • If low to mid is sluggish turn AFR anticlockwise by half turn..
                            If there is hesitation during mid transition, turn AFR anticlockwise by half turn...if it bogs down or stuttering,in mid transition then shift throttle needle circlip to 2nd from top.
                            If top end is weak go up in Main jet....

                              • On YEIS upjet your pilot jet, if you cannot find a new one go one clip down on the needle and see the difference, notice your plug colour now its should read lean in current stage and after jet change or clip position change it should read a bit richer, it should be ok after all this.
