Re: Yamaha Rxz 4 Speed Restoration ( Help Needed)
The process of phosphating steel parts can be said as an conversion coating because the process involves metal removal as part of the reaction. However, it is not like anodizing or black oxide, the final surface layer is of very fine phosphate crystals clinging to the metal that has to be powder coated or paint, for paint and powder coatings phosphate coating helps in mainly two functions, firstly the coating gives improved finish product, as the phosphate crystals act as an organic coating, secondly the phosphate layer protects the metal from corrosion acting as an corrosion barreir, if at any time the powder or paint parts get scratched, the phosphating treated part is tested for rust creeping, and the rust creep is very much low,

normally for metal that is to be painted or powder coated phosphating is unnecessary, phosphating is normally applied to large metal components ,like like large dia pipes, etc as a temporary low cost rust inhibitor, before coating normally the phosphate coating will be sandblasted off and the specified coating applied in the appropriate thickneeKawasaki KB100/enduro/125 substitute parts list http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/508615-post105.html

Re: Yamaha Rxz 4 Speed Restoration ( Help Needed)
The tinker promised to give the silencer in two days .The bore has been sent for sandblasting & reboring to a good friend in coimbatore and some small parts are plonked into the bike today .
The very Very rare to find . OE new rxz fork cups
(happiness comes everytime while seeing these )
CDI has been taken From a z 5 speed and been plonked in my 4 speed z
OE Pilot box with socket assembly (Roamed a whole day to find it ) ,The Tachometer was bought some months before the restoration and Yes i will surely change this rx 100 speedometer to 135 4 speed one after the completion of the run in period
The CDI has been plonked
Thinking of what headlight assembly to use (HH CD 100),(Maruti 800),(NON OE aftermarket taiwan make one which came with the bike ).The OE used ones are costing too much ,so will not be buying it . can anyone help me what headlight assembly to use which gives better light output than OE because i travel more in the night time .Last edited by naren.surii; 04-30-2014, 12:25 AM.YOU CALL IT MADNESS,WE CALL IT RX

Re: Yamaha Rxz 4 Speed Restoration ( Help Needed)
This sounds technical and most of them running plating shed only try to find a short cut and earn more in no time. Detail work on plating as you said is only possible when one has thorough knowledge.Originally posted by kusmaker View PostFlash copper is used for its conductivity, and going by the nature of the process in electroplating, it will help draw the nickel on to your item in the next stage.RX100 1996 | Karizma 2004 | Karizma-R 2011 | RXZ 1999 | RX 135 1998 | RX 100 1993 | CBF150 2005 - 2011

Generally most of the plating houses cut short these methods, but even if you have the knowledge of plating, plating house will never do it according to your liking or knowledge.Originally posted by SriramEfunds View PostThis sounds technical and most of them running plating shed only try to find a short cut and earn more in no time.
