    • Yamaha RX 100 Throttle Problem

      Hello guys,
      I have a '93 RX 100 and there is a problem with the throttle. Once I start the bike, the bike keeps accelerating and I have to turn it off. It runs fine if I put it in gear but the second I press the clutch it starts accelerating out of control. Also the throttle cable is fine and I think there's some trouble in the carb itself. Any idea what it could be?

        Just making the bike run and running the bike the way its intended to ride is different, there lies the difference between a competent mechanic and a moron [MENTION=26930]kb100[/MENTION] Thats was simply superb!!!

            ^^^ are you running on premix or Autolube?? Maybe more oil is flowing from the pump.

                I recently read up a bit about the RX 100. And the more I read ownership experiences, the more I want to just get out there and buy the beauty!
                I even found a good looking one which I might be able to buy at a decent price.

                It is a 1994 model.

                Q- why is it that someone said: "if you are going to buy an RX 100, buy the pre-1991 model, or be prepared to be disappointed"??

                  Either you are running way too much oil, or you have a choked up exhaust, or you are not getting enough spark to burn the afm.

                    friend,
                    that is a common man's dialogue.Don't bother about it.If you are looking for some vintage value,pre-1990 models will suit good.Else you can buy 1994 model,I think it is having 12V lighting.Do a good test ride and if you are satisfied,you can buy it.

                    Regards,
                    ride safe...

                      Whats the amount of 2T added?? Decarbonize your engine and exhaust. clean the plug, check the spark!

                        2T oil i mix as 40ml oil to a litre of petrol. And thanks... ill de-carb the pipe. That seems a possible cause.

                          2t oil should be mixed 3%. That is 30ml per leter of petrol. Why are you not using the oil pump? Check your current out put and compression too. Weak spark and bad quality oil is the biggest reason of too much smoke.

                            If you are a fan of bad ilumination and weak spark then go for the 6 volt "vintage" rx100. Otherwise go for the 12v model.

                              The sole reason for not using oil pump is i fear of oil pump going kaput and i might not figure it out on a long run. I run around 3.5-4% oil premix. And the fumes radiating out i said earlier was from the exhaust surface...from the whole catcon part after the header...and it happens only when i halt after riding and shut off my engine. It happens only after rides at high rpms. Never happened at low revs. That exhaust smoke is marginally more than usual and is due to 4% i mix...that will come down if i get down to 3%. but thats when engine is running.
                              btw My mech says it is the oil residue in the pipe which burns later when pipe gets heated...ill have to de-carbonise it he says. Although ill be getting it cleaned tomorrow but still i dont get a clear picture on it. compression spark/current everything is fine.
