Topic Approved.

You seem to have restored it very well, and everything looks stock so far. And yes, till date, I haven't found a decent substitute to RX 100, available new in showrooms. That was a fine era that went past by.

All the best, and wish you happy moments with your Mustang.

Thanks..

Hi,
Thanks Samarth
But i instructed to limit my speed to 40 upto Mustang reach 2000km..

Absolutely NO

1. Stock color of cylinder is black
2. Missing RVM's
3. Stock handle bar grips missing
4. Ditch the lousy tank pad
5. Excellent work on the engine side cover where they painted black over the grooved circle
6. Chain guard is excellent
7. Stock handle bars are chrome finish instead of buffed finish

Deepak - All said, even a partially restored Rx looks are great compared to any other bike fresh out of showroom; yours is certainly one of THE BEST looking out there - simple, elegance, beauty!!!

See SriramEFunds, Rx100 restoration which is 99.999999999% flawless; 200% attention to detail.

You really don't need to; if the clearance level in the cylinder is per manufacturer, then you need run in only for 1000 Kms; change the engine oil when you feel the engine is rough & don't wait for 1000 Km mark.

Nice

Are you running on standard bore? You could have been more elaborate perhaps, after all every restoration is a story worth telling and reading

Like Ganesh said, get rid of that tank cover.

@Ganesh: I didn't get your 1st point. Cylinder color is black

Is it a dent on the silencer right below the axle nut or is it the lighting which is creating an illusion

Saar, the stock color of the cylinder is black/grey/dark grey color. When doing such restoration, our dutiful people paint the bore also in the same color as the cylinder head; all they've to do is just water wash properly & they don't know they can save the paint See our Sri's restoration (and mine), since he did that himself, that did not happen. It really looks awesome with black (or grey) bottom with silver head.

Thanks for your feedback aagree & NitinGirish

aagree

Missing RVM's - which one is stock model
Stock handle bars are chrome finish instead of buffed finish - Yes i used the handle of pulsar. Which one is best for Rx100?

NitinGirish

Are you running on standard bore? Yes

Sure, i will give the elaboration soon.

Is it a dent on the silencer right below the axle nut or is it the lighting which is creating an illusion - It is a dent and one more dent present in center of the mud guard i feel no need of replacement required, so i have just plated the both

I am not able to make out colour difference :-( I saw my 135 rebuild pics (bore wasn't painted as it was brand new opened from box), Sriram's pics and my 100's pics. Can' make out any difference. I'll go home and see my bikes bore in person and if I still can't spot the difference, maybe I am colour blind

I have a dent right at that spot Blame it on careless mechanics changing wheels No point replacing. Just let it be. Besides not sure how the exhaust note would sound like if you changed. Which brings me to the question-What model is it?

Nice 100 there. Congratulations.
I always envy the people with black RX-100. There were never that many when YAMAHA sold them, but I feel that after I got my restored everyone went and painted theirs black.

Saar the OEM cylinder is not black/grey/dark grey. Infact its never painted at all and is only the casting that gives it the color (for a brand new cylinder). In this case it surely looks to have been painted though

Compare with this...

and notice how the bore is black/grey (or appears to be) vs the above

+1; exactly my point saar

Deepac:- Your restoration is excellent. Hope you follow the run-in religiously ensuring that at any point of time 2T oil is being drawn in. Please vary your speed around the marked 40kmph to ensure even break-in on the cylinder walls. Also main point is that never wait for 1000kms for the oil change. Please change the oil soon as you reach 500kms or watch for the oil color change. Reason? If you had replaced bore kits, crank assy and internal parts that of engine, there is every possibility the metal parts scraped during the run-in might get on to the gear box oil. So it is advisible you run the engine on cleaner oil.

Here there are many 2 stroke members have done restoration to almost perfection. So you expect to learn/come across many pointers from them.

My observation:-
01. The pic doesn't display the 2T oil tank side.
02. Mirrors missing as Aargee said. (Fiem/Alfa Toyo/ OEM Yamaha)
03. Cylinders if painted cannot do any now so leave it.
04. Dents on the silencer will remain life long. However, new chrome pipe can still make it to your bike and would not hamper the exhaust note costs close to 1.8k. (ask me)
05. Fuel filter/clamp missing.
06. You'll need to add RX100 bore rubber which comes in small beed type to fill the corners. I added it later after careful review by experts. Will post pic tomorrow.
07. I believe you have put extra horns.

I'm no restoration expert but a learner here. There are many who have restored their legends and you can go through their threads to learn more. Never late to learn is my policy.

So whats your point? The factory finish is raw, unpainted one. While restoring, you can get it again by sandblasting it. It surely doesnt look black.

burrrr there's no paint on the bore, the black thing aargee is ranting is actually the shadow of the fins the pictures you take with a camera have a perspective projection the converging light rays make it look like as if the bore were painted black. There's just light sandblast on it that's it. Aargee time to buy spectacles I guess. @OP don't stick with the 40kmph advice thrown around so vehemently keep varying your speed stick it 50ish max in the 4th and keep playing with throttle always, no need to add extra 2t oil if you have a properly calibrated pump going.

Sriram hate to burst your bubble but you'd have bigger problems than just looking for an oil change after 500kms or so if the "debree" from the combustion chamber/crankcase per se had a way to make it to your gearbox. Small 2 strokes don't have a wet sump, that's why you add 2 stroke oil in petrol they depend on the crankcase compression for lubrication :P you don't need to change gb oil that early it is just too much of an overkill and you are just pissing away good oil.

Factory finish is better than painting due to dutifulness during restoration; all it needs is a good, clean, quality WASH.
