  • Addicted All Over Again

    Hi All,

    Been longing for a good 2nd bike for a long time so recently picked up what is soon becoming one of the rarest bikes in Mumbai, a very well maintained 2000 5 speeder. Bike is completely stock right up to the saree guard and in excellent shape both internally and externally its just amazing to ride both in traffic and on the highway. No mods planned for now just a front disc coming shortly. Just clicked a couple of pics this morning for the forums. Lemme know what you think.



    This is my other bike, have posted pictures and details of it before. Its a 1998 RXZ with my attempt at the Kenny Roberts theme paintjob, Tectrac exhaust and the RDD CDI. The bike also has a 5 speed gearbox and a Pulsar disc upfront and is kickass fun in traffic.



    Raring to go:



    As you can tell i'm a bigtime Yamaha 2 stroke fan and no other bike will ever do. Ive already had numerous offers to sell both bikes often at petrol pumps and signals (Yep lotsa Yammie crazy people around) But thats never gonna happen. I guard these babies with my life

            @Harris/Devil - Thanks Guys

            @ Atul - LOL. Youre the one who is busy Mr Tuner.



            Does anyone know where to get the 5 speed stickers for the tank and panels. I also need information on any contacts in Mumbai for good hard chroming. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

                      Thanks Nitin & Psycho.

                      @ WierdSan, If parts for the RD were easily available i would definately go for one. Would definately love to have RD parked next to these.

                      @ Atul, lets meet up next weekend. Send me your number mine is 9920632532. The one i have is disconnected i think. I need to get the chamber chromed after a while. There was quite a lot of rust on it which i removed.

                          congrats on the bikes mate. i just got my hands on a 2001 model RXZ ( the 5 speed version with front disc from the company ). And its absolutely fun to ride.

                          Wanted to get more info about the exhaust, and any other regular mods that could be done without modding the block of the engine. Thanks

                            Congrats to you too... please post some pics of your bike. The engines on both the RX135 5speed and the RXZ5 speed are exactly the same and are a blast to ride.

                            The most common mods without touching the engine for the 5 speed are : RDD CDI, Free Flow Filters ( UNI, K&N, Pipercross etc), better reeds and switching to a non catcon exhaust (RX100/135) or an expansion chamber.

                            However, you will need to upjet post installing either filter/expansion chamber or both. Otherwise it can do more harm than good.

                              Sorry for the large size of the images. dint have anyway to resize at this point.

                              I know that the 135 5speed and the RXZ 5 speed shared the same engine. its the orginal RXK engine sold abroad. I want to restore the bike to stock, but with a better exhaust and intake to give it a higher top speed, since i will be lowering the number of teeth on the rear sprocket, for a better cruise speed and top end.

                              Need more advise on the same. where to source the parts from??? im in Gurgaon so pretty much entire NCR is accessible.
