Throttle response improved a lot, starting trouble was not evident at that time as the bike was tuned when engine was quite hot, started in a single kick, after tuning the bike i had to meet someone, and bike was at rest for roughly 1 hour, and when i kicked her after 1 hour she came to life in single kick, previously it uses 4 or 5 kicks after a long rest like this one, on economy i think she should still give 40km/l, will check it out in the next outing.

Try experiment on tuning ....but sure check all the things such as mileage , throttle response , cold start ability and finaly tune your bike in a sweet spot ...!!!

So @Balgi it means that this colour is fine than the previous one which was quite whitish in looking, is this wetness on threads normal, plus the carbon soot,yeah i will check it tomorrow morning that in how many kicks bike comes to life and how is the sound sometimes rich setting result in very torquee sound something like "patar patar patar" from the exhaust.

Yeah @avhad bro will try to find the sweet spot if i feel that this setting is also not giving the desired results,hope i don't have to fiddle much, fingers crossed.... thankss.

Good luck buddy go ahead atleat you are trying DIY ....waiting for next updates.

No bro this is also not DIY, actually yesterday i went to meet this new mechanic of which my friend has told me about, and after riding my bike he felt that the there is lot of air and lesser of fuel going in though he has suggested no of things but i said to check the no of turns out in air screw, and it was one and a half turn out, so he retuned it to full one turn out.

Why not you give it a try for DIY i think its a lot easier than it seems....!!!
Btw post a snap of your bike plz

Yeah sure brother i will post a decent snap of my bike.

No...no.....no......buddy........!!!!
i am not anywhere close to any knowledgable persons here.....and i am here only to learn whatever i can ...so plz i am feeling lot uneasy with your words and try to avoid them.

The wetness of the threads I did notice. Sometimes mechanics use just a drop of oil to ensure that plug threads in nicely and that there is no dust or rust on the threads on the head it could be because of that. Also if the mech didn't put oil in the plug hole then maybe your autolube needs a little tuning. I must point out that I didn't see this oil on the previous pics.

Also I am not so knowledgeable truth be told. I just know a few things about the working of the engine because I used to sit with my mechanic a lot and see his work. Mostly what I do is DIY and hit and miss. I came here same as you to learn. 😊

No doubt everyone here is to learn but you have already rebuilded an engine by yourself which i don't have and infact you have prescribed and described many aspects which i was not aware of so theroetically you are more experienced than me.

Wasn't trying to make you uneasy atll buddy , but if you are hurt then i will take my words back, hope you won't mind.

Lets stop this appologistic posts ...i will never get offended from you at all.....the words feel lil uneasy to me coz i am not deserves that words...thats it buddy.

We have to learn one more thing that how to calibrate (set) the oil pump.

To adjust oil pump you have to just look out for pump guide pin is aligned with a mark on adjusting pulley, if not then one has to turn the adjuster accordingly, adding the shim will increase the flow of the oil and decreasing will decrease.

I always calibrate the max r oil pump coz l know how to work on that ...but rx 100 is relatively new to me and oil pump i assembled is one that build using two unserviciable oil pumps from scrap...!!!

Can you plz shed some light on it .

New pricol pumps are available. So go for it. I always go for new engine parts as engine is the heart and soul of the bike. No compromise there man. One small thing can cause fatal results.

Best to stress test your bike to find out. 2s autolubes are so prone to misadjusments that to assume anything is wrong. The oil pump adjustment can be ruined if you've set it just half a thread too tight or loose. The result will not be apparent. And as a rule one must adjust oil to suite the air fuel mix. You've changed it so check see. But if autolube is set right then only one other possibility is that your new rings didn't face with the bore surface. Let's hope its not that.

Also how old are your throttle and clutch cables. Old cables develop slack and no manner of adjustment will do it justice.

Autolube works absolutely fine bro no doubt in that but the markings on it are somehow confusing me ...!!
I had replaced all cables with oe and adjusted throttle cable slack accordingly.

If the bike runs fine no need to fiddle with it man but I only said because the autolube made of two old defunct autolube sounded like a jugad. Perhaps post a pic so we can guide you.

Everything is fine about autolube small and big gaskets are new ..no leakage of oil and proper flow of 2t checked found almost ok and done 5000 kms on that and about five litres of oil....!
i wanna only know what is procedure to calibrate it like ideal factory settings in other words in wot position which marks should be checked against which mark for right adjustment....!!

Throttle cable is new have changed this year, but the clutch cable is very old may be 10yrs or so, i would go with your rings not facing philosophy, but to check it cylinder must be open, will do this thing in coming days, will get the clutch, cylinder and crank checked thoroughly, and will also see the settings of 2t pump

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

In 5000kms you have used 5litres of 2t oil that counts to 1litre for every thousand kms, a bit rich 2t oil is being used but it's ok i feel, what do you think [MENTION=72198]Balgi[/MENTION], which brand of 2t are you using.
The 2t oil is set according to the A/F mixture setting and with time these settings tends to change as your piston and cylinder will wear out as is the case with my bike so every time one changes the air setting he should check the 2t flow also but we tends to forget about the 2t and that sometimes ruins the game.

You can check for this by simply taking the head off and then moving the piston. No need to remove the cylinder. If even the tiniest gap exists you'll see improper shine patterns at some places in the bore and tiny scorch marks. You may have to look hard but you'll see it if its there.
I am using Motul 800 2t oil 20w40 earlier was using Castrol 2t didn't like the performance.

All right will check the cylinder by removing head and will try to take a snap also, and from where did you get this motul 800, i believe 800 is full synthetic and full synthetic oil should be used by mixing from top and not through autolube.Castrol is a bakwaas oil.Is this oil easily available in your state and what's the price.

My mechanic buys this in bulk he has a supplier and tops it off himself. and it doesn't make much difference whether you mix from top or through autolube but it does keep the whole system of lubrication fairly clean and carbon buildup is low so I am happy. I'll let you know the price I have a contact in the oil supply market. but right now I am more concerned with four scrap Rx100s I learnt about today. and a guy i met today with 86 Rx told me about availability of rajdoot embossed meters. will go check it out tomorrow.

Wow man that's a very good news, will wait for your reply and if you find these Rajdoot meters appropriate then buy one for me, plus also ask from your mechanic how much air screw should be turned in an engine running on 2nd O/S.

Sure bro no problem.
