Restoration of Yamaha Rx100
Hello dear friends....
I apologize to each and every member of this group for keeping you all in the dark.....
the restoration process began on January 1,2016 (I guess a good way to start the year)
and was completed on January 23,2016......
The whole process was carried out by a mechanic friend....only in my presence......(after college 4 PM-10 PM)....
Things done.......
1)Complete rebuild of engine....
Have saved the old parts.....as of now I have a Std. size cylinder,crank,carburetor,oil pump,transmission assembly(4 speed) and most of the engine parts...
2)Replacement of Tank,Side Panels(Old tank was beyond repair on the inside....so had to scrap it...same for the panels...had developed some serious cracks..)
3)Replacement of Front forks,Both the Brake Drums,Handlebar,Pilot Lamp Assembly,New lock set
4)New rims+spokes and Tyres
5)Got the Silencer,Rear Grab-Rail chrome plated.....(Really good job by guys at the MIDC Industrial area,Turbhe)
6)New Crash guard,Headlight Rim
7)Got the seat re-foamed,new rear shock absorbers,new storage box,new oil tank(had kept the old oil tank,gauge,etc for drying in balcony after cleaning and my dogs made a toy of the gauge and tank
)
8)New Emblems,Chain Cover,number plates,mud-guards(Both front & Rear),Tail lamp assembly
9)Speedometer not replaced as it was in a very good condition with only 9.9K Kms on it....
Note: Only the chassis was painted(Powder coated),Had the workshop manual along with me so all the nuts,bolts,screws are tightened to factory values
As of now the bike is completely stock.....just like it would've been when it was manufactured
