    ^ I'm wondering how best one can be spoon fed here. Sorry if I had been harsh with my words.

    rxdude - I have posted the difference between RXG and RX135 and also provided the link for further reading. Inspite of all resources offered in a platter, you want to start from the scratch asking 'What should I change?'??

      Basically IMO nothing really needs to be changed unless something is gone and needs replacement. There is this notion about RXG that it had jerking problems and what not which in fact is not true. I personally own a RXG and there is nothing wrong with it. Everything is common between the RXG and the 135 except the clutch driven gear and the primary gear. In fact the RXG clutch is supposed to be better.

        Can you please explain this in detail!!! Have you weighed it? How much lighter?

        Its nothing to do with CrankShaft assembly.

        He is asking you to change to RX135 CLutch bell assembly as RXG clutch bell is not available anywhere!!!! I suggest you get the existing clutch bell reset & use fresh set of clutch & pressure plates. If you want to replace the item, then go for 135 clutch bell, but make sure you change the rear sproket to 34T & front to 16T.

        Thank god, finally someone agrees to this. Infact RXG was heavily based on RX-King, thats why the different clutch-bell which was intended to use on a close-ratio 5-speed GB of RX-King. But our guys always want to play around, dont they. They reduced the BHP & made it a crappy 4-speeder.

        + 1 to that. RXG is highly under-rated for god knows why. Only a true enthusiast will know the value of this bike.

          @yamdoot. To say the truth the jerking problem is not a notion, i am really suffering from it. when i decelerate its like sitting on a horse, its galloping. i am really fed up with this problem!

                  Then the cause is something else. Many of my friends have RXGs but i didnt find any difference in performance between it n RX135. Get the bike checked up from a knowledgeable person.

                    Thank you guys for all the valuable inputs, i was busy collecting parts for my rx. I am planning for a complete rebuild with new parts and its going to be a stock one.
                    One place i am a little bit confused is should i go for a gladiator disc setup or the old drum brake???? Any way i have to change the front forks and t stem. So please give your opinions?
                    Another thing i would like to know is about the carburetor.is new carburetor available??
                    Should i start a new thread or continue with this thread for the rebuild.
                    Soon i will upload the parts collection!

                      You can continue the same thread. Regarding the disc set up, i wud suggest u go for it. Gives additional protection along with modern looks. New carbs are rare. U might be able to get an Indian make Mikarb though.

                        Thank you, its guys like you keep up the spirit to move on( i wonder where you get the time for all this). One time i even thought of selling the bike, to buy FZ. I like FZ very much except for the fact that its a four stroke. Thanks to the enthusiasm of the 2 strokers and their amazing rebuild stories.. I too want to rebuild my RX
                        Regarding with the disc setup, are these gladiator set up easily available ?

                          Yes the gladiator setup is available but not easily. But its the best setup for RX.

                            Got the complete gladiator disc set up. But the outer tube is black in color. Also the spokes were not available.
                            Which spokes should I use for the gladiator hub along with the OEM front rim?

                              I've heard Pulsar classic spokes might do the job. You can check with others.

                                Like Sri said, old pulsar spokes can be fitted . They are about .5mm short but do the job. And the black bottoms should be an added benefit as it will suit the current color combo of your bike.
