  • Re: Yamaha rx-100 rear shock absorbers

    No specific modification required to mount it. It is bit longer (1 inch approx) than OE shocks, so ride height will get increased.
    Both tires may touch the ground when using center stand.
    As you have yourself mentioned the problem of bottoming with the OE shocks i was looking for some other kind of absorbers will this increase in ride height effect the handling of the bike or any other kind of problem if not then i will go with these gas charged shocks.

      Hope you didn't miss the below quote. Bottoming was with 15 year old shock absorbers. I don't have this issue on a relatively newer Endurance shocks.

        Guys,

        I see a a few dealer selling RX King cylinder block/Piston and head on FB and other sites. Are these a direct fit on 135 5 and 4 Speed. The RX king was a 18 BHP bikes, will the Indian bike take the extra load?

          There are few videos in YouTube with Teflon tapes applied at the ends of Silencer core
          Do they really make any difference in sound

            hello guys,
            i am thinking about getting an expansion chamber built for my rx100.
            After some research i found that Coimbatore has the best expansion chamber specialists in South India.
            they just need the measurements and they will do the calculations and build you the chamber.
            so what are the measurements that i need to take in order to make a custom calculated chamber for my machine?

                        You have to take the bike to the respective rto and tell them that you have to do passing of your bike, i.e,re-registration...

                              Year is 1991. Didn't do renewal after the expiry in 2006. The price quoted now is like 300 per month ( 3600 per year).

                                That's the revised rate...
                                I know this much that for renewal of registration you'll have to pay around 150+(300x No. of months from 2006 till date i.e, Rs. 36,300)
                                and this is just for registration part....you'll have to shell out a similar amount for green tax....
                                and it's not because the govt. wants to remove the 2-strokes from Indian roads,these are the revised rates.....which apply for all vehicles...getting a licence is also around 500 now...even traffic violation fines have been increased....a simple Rs.100 fine for riding without helmet is Rs.500 now...
