Also feels like Engine is running without sufficient 2T oil. If 2T is externally pumping , check whether pump is working or not.
    Ok...... I'll get it checked....
    the autolube pump is working fine.........
    infact I add 30ml of oil too when filling 5 ltrs or more of petrol..........

      I inspected the rings and piston,they're fine and my mech told me that the sound is coming due the wear in the bearings of connecting rod..........................
      so if it is true..........do i need to change them immediately........if not at what time will it be good to change them.......
      My mech said that for changing them he has to open engine and it would take 2-3 days for him to put it back together along with the new bearings...........
      Now, the problem is I can't leave the bike for 2-3 days as it is my only vehicle right now...........
      so is it really necessary to change those bearings now........ ???????????

        it means your con rod is worn out , and you will have to replace the conrod and reset the crank , yes you will need to split the crankcase to do this and yes it will take time , better to do it asap as a worn rod can snap /bend and that will be even more expensive to repair

        PS: if your opening the crankcase check the crank main bearings also

          Change the conrod bearings as soon as possible. Else as KB100 told, rod may break and will get in to other moving parts inside your engine and it will get more costly. Till the time you repair, dont revv hard.

          By the way in Mumbai, which mechanic is doing this? Some guys does this in a single day.

            Do it as soon as possible. Or else you will end up with a seized crank or worse a broken con rod. Yes it takes time. Once you open the cases, change the main bearings too. Or else it may make a slight whistling noise.

                      its normal silencer.

                      for oil concern - Its running in oil pump only and i am getting 700 to 750 KM per ltr.

                      so far i have done any engine over haul. I am not sure how many KMS ran by previous owner so far i have done 7500 KMS, its almost a year now).

                      There is no oil leak.

                              if you are asking about wheels, yeah, its possible. you cant install tyres only as the diameter of wheel is different in R15 (17") and RX (18").

                              in 1984, RX100 was the only RX available. 135 came in later, in 90's.



                              ganapathyps, check if your transmission oil level is going down. though its not the common problem but have seen not properly matched mid casings. it kept on consuming engine oil. and bike ran out of oil and came to garage where i saw the issue.
                              another regular problem may be with 2T oil ratio. as Sriram suggested, it can be made out from spark plug.
