The bike feels very smooth. If the oil flow was less it would feel a little rough. I'll still take it to the garage and ask the mechanic about it.Originally posted by nirvan View Post
Atul recommends 16-18 ml per liter and I'm using fully synthetic oil.
When I found out, I was told that the 135 should give around 1400 kms on a liter of 2T.Leave a comment:

Bladerunner, it seems to me that your bike is perhaps not using enough 2T oil.
1800km on a 1.3 (? if my memory serves me right) litre tank seems to be a tall order - I'd recommend you increase the flow. Ideally, you should use up a litre in 1200 or less km.
Having said that, I'd also like to state that my approach has always been to err on the side of caution - that is, to run the bike on a rich oil mixture. This has worked extremely well for me.
Essentially, the way to judge if the oil isn't enough is to go on a long, high revving ride. After say, 50+ km of this, you'll find that the normal flow of 2T oil from the exhaust has stopped even with a high flow, and the muffler is dry with burnt oil. This may be incorrect, but its just something I watched.Leave a comment:

Contact atul_astro. He is very good with 2 strokes. His number is 9224505079.Originally posted by hell_glider View Post
The local mechanics will screw up your engine.Leave a comment:

bladerunner,
thanks for your replies. i see you are in mumbai too. could i pm you for some help regarding engine work on my bike ?? i hardly know anyone personally through experience who does good work on rx bikes. i found a guy recently, got some routine maintenance done from him, but not sure if he will do good engine work as well.
your inputs will really help.
thanks,

I doubt a local mechanic will calibrate the pump properly. Its not as easy as turning the screw on the right side above the oil pump.Originally posted by hell_glider View Post
It has to be done according to revs.
If you engine is in a bad state the its no use anyway. You need an engine rebuild like I just did.Leave a comment:

Hey the pic shows the arrow type which i mentioned. I have a RX135 but what my 2t tank has is just a plane glass through which you can see the level of oil directly, No empty - full arrow.Originally posted by NitinGirish View PostLeave a comment:

its the pump that came with my bike. so thats around 10 yrs. when i got some servicing done last week, i told the guy that 2T oil consumption is very high. so he said he's set that right. its just been about a week now.
i put half a litre of penzoil just before the servicing.
now i've got 1.5 ltrs of shell 2T. i'll put it in after i exhaust the existing oil in the tank. then will see if the guzzling continues.
apart from that any other issues which could cause guzzling ? i'm running on first oversize piston/rebore. i don't think the work's been done properly. the bike is ok for puttering around at 50-55 kmph. 60-65 kmph and above is really harsh on the engine and you can make out its struggling. anything in this area could contribute to high 2T oil consumption ?
thanks and ciao,

mine seems to be guzzling in that case. i've just got the oil pump re-calibrated. so lets see. if its still guzzling, then something is seriously wrong.
any ideas guys, on probable causes why my rx-135 could be guzzling 2T ? things i could check for ??
thanks and ciao

The one you have shown is from an RX 100. The 135 never came with the gauge.Originally posted by NitinGirish View Post
I have just installed a new oil pump and its very well calibrated too.
With my new oil pump the bike seems to be using the 2T oil more efficiently.Originally posted by hell_glider View Post
I am currently measuring the kms and I have done around 915 kms and the tank still has more than half oil left in it. I think I'll get around 1800 kms on a full tank of oil.Leave a comment:

has anyone done a financial comparison of the expense incurred on 2T oil for our two-strokes as compared to the four-stroke bikes available today.
i have been on an rx-135 but have never really made this running cost comparison. i mean i'd like to know how much more i am spending on 2T engine oil as compared to someone on a 4 stroke as the engine oil is getting burnt as well in our 2-strokes.
also, how much on an average do you guys spend on 2T ?
figures must be an eye-opener, i am guessing.Leave a comment:

It is a plane see through glass. Looks like thisOriginally posted by blisteringintelligence View PostHey the one you replaced. is it the arrow indicator type glass or plane see through glass?
If your oil pump is working fine then I think you could have just replaced the glass.Originally posted by Bladerunner View PostLeave a comment:
