After successful restoration of RX100 in 2012, riding occasionally with some authentic beat flowing through the pipe makes a big smile on my face. It is good to ride the stock bike, keeping it with some regular maintenance, the shine, shade, the glitter, that makes you feel better while at the signal stop.
For a long time, I've been bitten by RX115 bug ever since I read about that bike. Its spec was amazing. I truely call it pocket rocket which 115cc produces 15.5bhp.
After learning about the engine spec, thought why not I try to upgrade to 115cc. Got few leads from Singapore/Malaysia on 115cc barrel with head. Cost of vintage spares and shipping was close enough to bike another 2 stroke bike in India.
So I parked my 115 idea for the time owing credibility of transacting with strangers as I could even arrange funds.
Not long ago, when I came across another old time 2 stroker Joseph Mathew via social network site already tried experimenting reboring the RX100 old model bike with RX115 54mm piston.
That actually rekindle my thoughts to start once again. Thanks to Joseph Mathew Sir for lending RX115 piston for my experiment.
Thanks to Anuj Khurana, another bubbling 2 stroker, whom I met in New Delhi, gave one of RX100 cylinder kit for me to try out.
Now, I'm moving out for sometime from stock to a pepped up set up.
Stage : - 1
Sandblasted the bore to renew the look of it.
Stage : - 2
Traveled to Bangalore for reboring since I'm happy with my earlier job done with them. First, rebored the cylinder from already 52.00mm to 54.00mm. Cylinder head modded from 50.49mm to 55.00mm. There Xbhpian Vijay Daniel (Vijaymeyou), was all along with me while getting both cylinder and head mod job done. A big Thanks to him for his hospitality and time.
RX Cylinder and Head after the rebore job is done. Getting this stage completed gave me a good feeling and felt real progress.
I'll need to wait for the festive season to get over before any further progress..let me think of anything else needed here.
(Pardon for the poor quality of few pics as most of them were taken via mobile without much thoughts)
