The original handlebar is really getting difficult to find these days (like most parts). The shops don't have them but you need to keep trying at the Gujli (the scrapyard) in Shivajinagar and you might get lucky.
Perhaps some of us will meet at the rally next weekend, what say?Leave a comment:

^^ the speedo drive, comes in holder of its own, and the gear is separate. If its worn from the point where the cable connects to the engine, then yes, you will have to change the cover.Leave a comment:

hi.i just got a 96 roadking 2 weeks back..its my first bike and it took some time for me to get adjusted to the bike(needless to say starting the bike!).. the bike is in decent shape.it was rebored recently and has run ~600 km on it..the speedo is conked..so the mech opened the case and we found that the cog which rotates the worm is worn out a little and the worm is slipping..he says i will have to replace the entire case(?) since the speedo cog is not replacable alone..is there any work around for this?please help

Its no use buying those BP kits from JC Road. Take my word..Leave a comment:

So is this the one you're buying (the cheap locally produced one)? The one for 5500?Originally posted by Sandeep_K_Ram View PostAesthetics are very much subjective...this is just one example of the "work" that can be done by those guys. Obviously the owner wanted it that way, we can't question his passion can we ?
Don't know about that one... I've seen some seriously hideous jobs. But yes it is very subjective which is why I said it was purely my opinion.
What you get in JC Road is definitely not the original factory Bore Kit. They are cheap locally produced copies that are no good. Hard to find any new bore piston kits in Blore.
Yeah, for the Yezdi's we don't have much of a choice left do we..Leave a comment:

[QUOTE=Ray13;434943]Jayram, why would you like a Jikov? The Jikov, as beautiful as a carb as it is, is not the original carb which was fitted on the '96 Roadking. That was a Pacco. Why don't you get a new Pacco? Its far easier to get than a Jikov PLUS you will never be able to find a new Jikov. At best you will find a used one. Pacco's are good, consistent carbs. You've probably just had a crap piece OR one of your mechanics might have meddled with it. Unfortunately it happens a lot and very often the carb gets screwed up purely because an incompetent mechanics buggers it up. I recently bought a brand new Pacco (to keep as a spare) for Rs.1050
Hi Ray13,
Thanks a lot for the information. I was not aware that 96 RK originally came with a Pacco carb.
You are right I might have got a crap piece
, but the only issue is, I brought a new one recently, which again is giving the same problem. Probably I will have to scout for a better mechanic, coz most of them here are grease monkeys

@ray13 - yup , got em in rajasthan, and one of the bores was slightly rusted since it was not oiled and kept, the other one is in pristine condition all oiled and packed.Leave a comment:

Nice looking paint jobs but, if I may say so, stickering just doesn't do it for me. Personally, if you can't find somebody to paint the gold striping (which is missing on the tank and the rear guard I think) then I think it should be left as is. Stickering tends to get a bit tattered and dirt gathers around the edges over time while cleaning and suchlike. Besides, it just doesn't feel right. On the Jawa, the pegs aren't right and the colour isn't one of the stock colours. Somehow, for me, I've found that these little details usually reflect how passionate the owner is about his ride and whether he truly loves his bike or is into a little bling.Originally posted by Sandeep_K_Ram View PostThese are bikes that were restored by my mechanic Kutty. The roadking is near identical to the factory Maroon Color. Also note the retro 90s single stripe square stickering around the logo.
Contact Kutty at 9448216872 , Bangalore.
WOW!!! Where did you manage to get the bores? Was it an original, un-used Yezdi bore or a locally manufactured one?Originally posted by jd666 View Post
But is the bore original? Where are you sourcing this in Bangalore, if I may ask?Originally posted by Sandeep_K_Ram View Post
