Re: Help me!! Yamaha rx 100 starting trouble

Why are you guys so ignorant? Its a 2 Stroke bike, its always advisable to read, read and read before getting your foot in between anything. A 2 stroke bike uses 2T oil for lubrication, if not used grinding metal parts will create a lot of friction and would over heat, and will for sure cease your engine. You should never ever rely on the oil pump, even if you have a working pump, always use premix. A little extra oil will not kill your bike, it will just come out as smoke.

A smoking 2 stroke is just part of its character, it would never be as smoke less as a 4 stroke, Try living with it. The cable that you yanked out is the oil pump cable, take it to a mech, do not narrate the whole story, just ask him to connect the oil pump and check if its working. If its not working, its not the end of the world for you, just make sure you ask the petrol pump attendant to add oil worth 10 Rs for every 100 Rs petrol you would fill. This is till the prices of petrol or oil goes up majorly, then add 30ml/ Litre.

Check if the kicker is going down freely, if yes the engine is not ceased stuck, When your bike stops next time while running, put a few drops of water immediately on the head and see if it turns to smoke(a bit nasty but you can spit as well if no water is available). If it does turn into steam then your engine is over heating. Ask the mech to increase the fuel in the air fuel mixture, this can be done by turning the air screw anti clock wise( I recommend to take it to the mech)

Before you do anything to your engine, first check the compression on your cylinder, if there is no loss of compression and the bike is running then you don't need a rebuild, if its not overheating, the engine stopping can be attributed to something else, and the first thing you should check is your ignition lock and then other electrical, if the sudden stopping can be attributed to any electrical issue.

You have to also mention if the bike starts immediately after stopping or you have to wait?

Re: Help me!! Yamaha rx 100 starting trouble

I gave my bike to a mechanic yesterday(chennai omr road), he checked my bike its like there was a leak in petrol pipe one night 4L petrol gone
and there is a leak in oil pipe also
for new wiring(~350) + new tail lamp glass(no idea about price) + horn(no idea about price)+ new battery(~850) + key set (on/off key, side lock and petrol lock)(~400) + oil and petrol leak problem + smoke leak near exhaust pipe +speedo meter(no idea about price)
He said it will take ~3000-3500 for service
Is that too much or okay?

Re: Help me!! Yamaha rx 100 starting trouble

I'm planning to swap yamaha gladiator's swing-arm to RX, after hearing that it was a direct fit. But when i tried the stock axle nut is bigger in diameter compared to gladiator's, that it doesn't even enter the adjuster hole. Any help in installation please?

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

for wiring kit, go for OE which is cheaper than minda. An amco battery should cost you about 650/-. its better to fetch the parts by yourself rather than leaving it to mechanics unless he is a long known and trusted one. Just make a visit to GP road and you'll find the prices given by your mech to different from actual. Let me know if you need some help.

Re: Help me!! Yamaha rx 100 starting trouble

Is this the adjuster in Gladiator? (Image from Google) How about drilling to a bigger dia? (does the sleeve inside had enough thickness?)


PS: how long is gladiator swing arm when compared with RX? and how much did it cost?

Re: Help me!! Yamaha rx 100 starting trouble

Yes it is... I got it from scrap yard but was literally brand new. Presently it is with my tinker so can't get the exact size but from looks, it was close to an inch longer. I was thinking the same about making the hole bigger but didn't want to fiddle with the swing arm. Only the axle nut is the issue. I believe fabricating a new axle nut would be the only solution. If there is any direct fit it will be great and less painful process.

Re: Random Questions regarding the RX series

Thanks. That's a relief now

Starting problem in my rx 100.....

Hey guys...
Its great to have so much Rx fans from all over India with all their knowledge and experience in one place. I am also a proud owner of my Rx 100(1994) model which I got from my elder brother in 2003. My brother didn't ride this legend very much like I do .
My Rx is currently running on 2nd oversized piston which was changed in year 2008. Other than this my Rx is in a very mint stock condition(like to keep it that way)...
But recently I facing few problems with my Rx :

1) My daily commuting is 20-25km per day(if not roaming around ), the problem is that when I run at above 60 kmph speed for 1 hour or more the bike doesn't re-start in when one or two kicks and sometimes I have to use choke it it doesn't start in 3 kicks. But this problem doesn't occur if I run at 40-50 kmph speed.
The bike is currently giving awesome 42 kmpl mileage.

2) The bike was initially a 6V and changed to 12V in 2006. From the last few years the battery didn't last more than a year and I have to replace the battery after every 15-16 months. Last battery was Amaron Pro Rider which lasted only 14 months. Currently using the same battery.

3) The chain cover is creating a "ghiz-ghiz" sound regularly, after fixing the chain cover so many times by the mechanic the sound is still there. The sound was not there 1 month ago and started to occur when my mechanic open the chaincover 1 month ago and replace the chain lock.

Re: Problems in my Rx 100

Can anybody tell me how to remove the atomizer from the rx 100 carb? My bike dies at 70+ kms per hour, have replaced everything in the carb. I have an atomizer, however I am unable to take the old one out. The next logical option would be to buy a new carb.

Re: Problems in my Rx 100

Take a long bolt, open the carb bowl, remove float system and main jet, lightly hammer it out.

Re: Problems in my Rx 100

tried it, using a Philips screw driver, should I take it to a lathe to be pressed out? I even applied generous amounts of WD40 before hammering it, it didn't budge even an MM, didn't want to break anything.

Re: Problems in my Rx 100

Then it may have fused with the body. Try using a rd block stud. Thats what i use. Dip the carb in brake fluid for a while then try
