You said it all Sree!! even if one had gone through and experienced these while collecting parts, sometimes they may come across and get stuck by a brick wall, the so called 'WAIT' . Ironically, the only thing now you can do to get (out) the spare is to patiently 'WAIT'Originally posted by SriramEfunds View Post

RXD...man in getting so many new parts and building a RX "factory" , i think you come close to my venture couple of years before building my 87 RX100 and my ongoing project to build a "factory RXZ 5 speed". getting so much quality stuff for RX is not easy these days. congrats
2.75 x 18 (F) MRF and 3.00 x 18 (R) Michelin Sirac is what I have on my bike...best combo I guess

I believe this input is indeed beneficial for a lot of riders trust me on this.Originally posted by rxdude View PostI am from Kerala and more than 95% parts were procured from Kerala only. After Banglore I think Kerala is where you find a lot of 2 strokes especially Yamaha. So parts are available here.
From my part hunting experience what I can tell is
1 Dont ever think that you can get all the parts from one shop. If you are planning to do so your restoration may take years.
2 Do your homework well, to say about me what I knew was only the basics of how an engine works. Parts name and even the idea of rebuilding the bike came after going through this forum only. I have read through most of the threads in 2 stroke section. But the mistake I did was I didn't note down some important points which get handy later.
3 Have good patience, there are times when you understand money just cant buy you everything. So wait patiently.
4 Have a good rapport with whoever is supplying you the parts, so that you stay in their memory.( That doesn't mean you have to call up them in the middle of their work and disturb them)
5 Always have a through knowledge about what you are dealing with, which I lacked
6 always plan what you want so it can avoid a lot of hassles later
7 Your parts catalogue is your Bible, carry it always with you, you don't know when or where you are going to get the parts
8 Saw a part that you want, grab it then and there because spares for RX won't wait for you.
9 Considering the availability of spares its good idea to stock some parts. What are the parts to be stored? Read Karthik's thread. I forgot the thread title, sorry.
These I wrote for newbies like me and is not applicable to you Shv18. I know you are veteran in this. Apart from the 2 strokes thread, the thread I have read extensively is FZ ownership thread. So I know you pretty well
Now to answer queries
All the parts I bought from Yamaha genuine part dealer at Kochi. Prime motors. The shop is a small one but its always busy with people who comes for Rx spares exclusively. Some of the items were just of the shelf. They are not at all willing to take an order or book parts in advance even if you advance full payment.
Chassis and a few other parts I literally begged him to keep for a few days as I am living a little far from the place and the nature of my job doesn't allow me to travel on will.
Other parts I had to order at Yamaha showroom and paid an advance and waited for more than 2 weeks. I have given an order for more than 30000 rs and the guy knows me pretty well so he calls once the parts arrive and I go and collect. Crank assy is the only thing left for me to get.
When I get time I will scan all the bills and upload for everyone's information. I got all the parts at MRP only.
According to the information i got The only major part that is not at all available from Yamaha is carb and head.
Will make a detailed write up from PC rather than from a small screen.
Administrators excuse, Sorry for posting multiple posts as multiquote is not available in this app or I could not find the same.
Spare parts for rx 100 is more or less available in Kamla Yamaha SVC, Mumbai and they are very prompt in ordering parts for other bikes for you if the advance has been paid. If the die hard 2 stroke fans want i can ask the SVC guys to kindly cooperate and confirm what OEM parts can be sourced out from their end.
The objective was to provide your contact points in Kochi and also hopefully my sources in Mumbai which allows a generic riders to get in touch with these guys from different states and if needed puchase it from them and bear only the shipping cost rather than aimlessly hunting in their own region and local shops.
Thanks for Updating me with Kartik's thread.. i shall commence my search on the same
A friend of mine has recently procured an RD350 HT from his contacts in Mizoram, North East, India. I was shocked to see the bike in such an immaculate condition externally. However, internally it was a pain in the a$$ to restore so much so that we finally had to get in touch with manufacturers in UK to provide us parts and if needed re-engineered parts with better metallurgy and forging process like say a crankshaft etc. Yes indeed it was a pain but now he is reaping the benefits of owning an insane and scarily fast RD. So much so that my love for 2 strokes has re-ignited
Thanks Sriram,Originally posted by SriramEfunds View PostShv18 - Read the lines below..
Those who restore RX considered as passionate rider. Imagine, not everyone does gets parts from the same dealer, same location etc. Waiting period to get the spares is another story. Most of the members in 2 strokes section knows what it takes, for others, in simple words, it is NOT easy.
Now, to answer your questions:-
01. Where do we get spare parts? Contact Yamaha Showroom
02. Price? Contact Yamaha Showroom
03. What is process to grab the spare parts? Contact Yamaha showroom
04. What is the waiting period? Contact Yamaha Showroom
05. Any advance to be paid? Contact Yamaha Showroom.
Contact Yamaha showroom in your location if not already done.
Still have questions? Post your query.
There are many threads to go through where seniors have shared the processs, if still there are questions, those want to restore 2 strokes can start a thread and discuss.
FYI..Anyone wants to do the rebuild/restoration will need to understand what it takes to go through, it involves - basic knowledge, loaded wallet, time, smartness, patience, parts hunt, joy, frustration, pain, sleeplessness, exitement, passion, love, eye for detail, contacts, etc..etc.
I hope the above post clarifies what was the intention.
Cheers,Last edited by shv18; 11-20-2012, 07:35 AM.A quote by a toilet, " use me well, keep me clean, i would never tell anybody whatever i have seen.." :P

Wow, now a days, i see a lot of 2 strokes, Kerala never had any shortage of that fro the matter. But most are just hippies showing off, once in a while i get to see Boke stock bikes(in appearance) and i'm always jealous.
Man, i really appreciate your patience in waiting for getting all the parts. It also amazes me that yamaha are still able to provide parts for a bike that was stopped production quite some time back.
Keep updating here. Would love to know how things go by.
Cheers Mate
Ride Safe
