Re: Random Questions regarding the RX series

i always like to see the bullet look in my rx , so wanted to go for alloy wheels. i am a proud owner of rx so love to see it with alloys ...thanks

Re: Random Questions regarding the RX series

Bullet alloys can't be used in RX.
Best bet is alloys from Gladiator.

Re: Random Questions regarding the RX series

if you have front disc brake then go for gladiator alloys ,if you have front drum brakes go for alloys from libero/alba/ybr110, if you still want to go for the same design as shown in the pic then try and get those from rado in 18 inch size suitable for rx ,rado is a brand that produces aftermarket alloys for almost all bikes and should suit your requirements

Re: Random Questions regarding the RX series


If one wants to fit front disc brake with normal spokes wheels on rx100 what are the options, should one go for old model gladiator disc set up which came with spokes wheels, and if this part is not available then any other options.

Re: Random Questions regarding the RX series

yes the gladiator set up will be the best choice ,it will cost you around 10-11k for the setup, or you can go for the classic pulsar setup it is considerably cheaper than the gladiator one

Re: Random Questions regarding the RX series




friends,

what about this bikes can u explain what kind or which brand of this alloy wheels is used for this yamaha (above pic). as per my view i believe its all bullet alloys which is used for yamaha 18 ''. if this is bullets alloys then how they have fitted this please feel free to comment ...

Re: Random Questions regarding the RX series

Do one thing , go ahead and get the "bullet alloys" fitted on your rx , in the meanwhile consult your mech also

Re: Random Questions regarding the RX series

Thanks man, but is this classic pulsar setup as good as gladiator ones, and how much is the cost.

Re: Random Questions regarding the RX series

they are more or less equal ,both share similar specs ,240mm dia disc and twin piston calipers, i have no idea regarding the price , if you want even better setup then try the 270mm disc from the apache , somebody here has done it already,

Re: Random Questions regarding the RX series



Allright i will check for apache's front also, i think the petal disc of Tvs is more effective than pulsar's as pulsar's disc is more rigid more sudden which lockes the wheel, but the availability of Tvs bikes parts are sometimes hard to get, still i feel that pulsar's set up is more suitable and more easily getable, previously i used to feel that Rx100 dosen't need Disc brake and drum brakes are more than enough to stop the vehicle, but recently i was caught in an accident situation where the drum brake of my bike was not able to stop the bike and i had to take a sharp cut to avoid accident.I will check this old pulsar's disc set up, one more thingh do i have to use the T stem of pulsar, or the current T stem can work with these pulsar's disc set up.

Re: Random Questions regarding the RX series

pulsars discs dont lock up any more than gladiators and the aesthetic design has nothing to do with the braking ability , you can use the t stem of rx provided both the pulsar and rx has same diameter inner tubes

Re: Random Questions regarding the RX series


Thank's for the useful info big bro.

Re: Random Questions regarding the RX series

Iam posting few snaps of my Rx100 plug condition, the snaps were taken after running for 10kms,nest day in the morning i did compression test, when the engine was cold, compression remains same even when the engine is hot, so experts pls comment, particularly Sriram and KB100.










2. Snap of engine compression testing.The compression of my bike engine keeps hovering near this 130 or 140 whether the engine is hot or cold.So experts what is your opinion.

Re: Random Questions regarding the RX series

[MENTION=49419]kusmaker[/MENTION] your plug is fine and your afr is perfect as for the compression 130-140psi is fine as for the slight variations could be because of the variations throttle position while kicking over the engine also when the engine is hot the compression gauge will show a higher reading as gases expand on heating, so dont worry your engine is fine, if possibe do tell us the mileage your bike has done

Re: Random Questions regarding the RX series



Thanks a lot for the speedy reply big bro, actually i was little sceptical over that even when the engine is hot compression reading is near to that of cold engine reading, and how can that be as engine heats up piston rings gets expanded and seals better, and still the compression remains same or in some occasion little less, that's why though of taking your expert opinion, as far as the mileage is concerned the bike has clocked near to 125,000kms, bike is running on second o/s piston, the stock piston was replaced at some 80,000 kms although later i came to realise that piston change was not atall necessary and mechanic just changed piston to make money, i did fought with him afterwards but that was useless as the damage had already been done. Iam using Yamaha's genuine 2t oil, was thinking of getting Motul ss 2t oil but i was not able to get this oil so went for yamaha's and the engine oil is from Motul grade 20w50.

After how many kms piston rings should be changed, i think manual says piston rings should be checked every 11,000kms, and some says one should change rings every 20,000kms.
