    Thank you Nitin for the information. Now my understanding is confirmed on papers that RXS100 and RX100 are almost same except for few.

    Is it ok to buy the piston alone if the entire piston kit is unavailable? In that case, I can use the indian rings to that.
    Sriram, but isn't it better to use matching Rings? I've heard/ Seen horror stories of RIK rings with Mahle Pistons/ Goteze & seizing up...! Sincere suggestion would be as a set with Rings, Circlip & stuff...

        Sriram, even in that case you wouldn't want to end up in seizure! Do you? If you still insist in going through the mix n match, would suggest a Re-Honing atleast will ease up the tension a bit with fingers crossed!

        • ^ I understand your good interest. However, can't resist exploring the scope of having RXS100 piston (31J) which ART was the make. Again not sure if the same was continued to be supplied in due course of time.
          Worst scenario, I shall proceed with what is available for Indian market i.e Mahle.
          Just to let you all know that I'm in search of RXS100 STD piston kit (31J) (OE Japan- supplied by Yamaha). If anyone could provide me information would be appreciated.

          Right now I'm in touch with a seller of Piston however, he doesn't have the rings.

          If anyone knows if there is an alternative, please share the information.

              Thanks for letting me know about Shogun still in production in our neighboring country. However, I'm afraid of it's piston compatibility even though it shares 50mm piston as RX100 in India.

              Also, Indian Shogun is much better in terms of look and power. Also I see they have rotary disc value system common to what GTOs of Kawasaki.

                  I hope even the transmission is 4 speed as in our RX 100 ; try with yb100 in his thread i hope you are already discussing with him on RXS piston wish he says something unbiased (unless he is a yammy fan boy)

                  the above link gives the spec of the shogun revealing less power and maginally higher torque compared to our RX100 specification

                  • Sriram, I suggest you sign up on Yammy100 man. They are a friendly bunch. Maybe they can help you with the piston kit of RXS-100.

                          Ok, I'm still contemplating on using some imported piston, not sure, still doing some research and feasibility.
