Good Maniac...you are keeping everything under control keep up the good work

If you have a budget ...


A Proper 4speed/5speed carb - get it from some good source (dont ask me ..dunno from whom ..really ) ..around 1500 bucks max

A bore piston kit - 4sp bore piston kit will be around 5K.

If you can get these parts - genuine parts, I suppose the rest of the mechanicals can be addressed rather more easily.

Alright woke up one day and thought it was enough .
So ran around lathe guys , mechanics , shocks absorber guys etc rectifying things ... although lathe work was not needed coz the guy said no problem , the chassis is fine . Rectified many small things . Seriously one should consult atleast ask 6 - 7 guys i guess . Good that I talked to lathe guys directly .

The bike has smoothened a bit , i mean vibes have reduced a bit .
Handles like a beauty and has got good power .

Now i need your say on somethings , please help me troubleshoot.

1. When the pillion sits , do the suspensions depress ? .
One mechanic told me it should not depress like that , says springs got less tension i.e., faulty shocks .
But the shock absorber expert told its absolutely good n working fine .
STOCK SHOCKS at the 3rd or middle position .
So anyone here got a 3.00 x 18 tyre ? . I got a dunlop uni-grip which seems a more huge than dunlop mystery than which is passion 's default tyre.
Does the rear mudguard touch the tyre when you are riding with a pillion n go over pot holes or speed breakers . Does it hit in these two situations ? .

What could be the possible reason for this i.e., the tyre touching the rear mud guard .

2. What flasher can I use . Some ASS mechanic told me that 135 has a flasher with earthing wire unlike Rx 100 or most other bikes .
Is it true ? . Man i have looked for this flashers everywhere i could think off but its not there .

Can i fit any normal flasher ? . Any problems in any case ? .

3. I hear some strange sound , like something is hitting somewhere .
The sound is also reciprocating .
I ll try and explain .

The sound comes any time it likes while riding .
But I have noticed that it always comes when i ride at low speed with higher gear . Means like trying to move from stand still using 3rd or 4th gear , in 4th it makes more noise . Its a bit loud and feels like something is hitting somewhere .
At high rpms also there is sound like something is hitting somewhere .
The same sound .

It comes even if i am riding in proper gear at proper speed sometimes ... like random but always comes in the situation i told about . Its the same sound . Something you guys can think of ? . Whats the problem .

Is it some big problem ? .

4. The bike gasps when I release the throttle a bit free while riding .
Means suppose 3rd gear speed range is between 20 - 40 .
When I am riding at 35 and take it easy on the throttle or release a bit , the bike slows down n kinda gasps like its running outta fuel .
It likes oscillates front n back . Which i have never experienced before .

5. The exhaust note has changed . First it was like THUD THUD THUD THUD. Now its kinda THUDDUDUDUDUDTHUDUDUDUDU.
means at first it was like with breaks thud thud now its continuous thudhdudud.

4 stroking ? . Whats the solution ? .

GUYS PLEASE REPLY TO THE QUESTIONS .

Thanks for your time .

Thanks shivanshu , do reply to my questions above pls .

Sandeep no budget at the moment .
Gotta sort out things and run all other things properly .

Looked around for carb many places but all say they ve got a RX 100 carb.
135 is rare here , so people dont keep they say .

So what I was thinking was can a 100 carb be fit in a 135 ? .
Any idea or heard something like this anywhere ? .

Thanks

I got a technical query here , cant a rebore work ? .
What I mean to ask is If i am reboring from a standard size , I am only increasing the cylinder size , What other difference could it make possibly .
I thought of some things but would like to hear everyones comments here .
I mean if rebore is done properly , cylinder size is changed a bit .
Even yamaha has put option for 2 oversize pistons .
But I am on 3rd . So does yamaha actually point out that after 2nd over its of no use to rebore ? or some other reason . How can going oversize change or hamper things is what I am thinking on . Because effectively we are increasing the bore size and using a bigger piston . Bigger piston does mean a bit more power.
So how does actually the performance drops or is reduced ? .

Is it that considering my case only you all are telling me to go for a new kit ? . I mean the way I described the bike 's performance .

Hope I was able to put the question in a correct manner , so that its interpreted the way I am thinking .

Thanks

To put it simply..I think...the whole setup is badly ****ed man

I want to start from a clean sheet of paper.

100 here, 200 there...sab milaake....in the end....you will burn the same amount of money or more than going for a proper stock setup.

I sincerely suggest you to again consider a total revamp. Agar budget nahin hain to koyi baat nahin - ye sab jugaad chodo yaar...kuch nahin hoga..Its going nowhere. But I really admire your tenacity Keep that quality in your but stop trying to fix this thing. Save up ...and go for the full monty later on.

As always you are right brother .
Thanks for the appreciation .
I ll take your advice .
Will solve out small niggles which creep in for now .

Thanks for your time n patience buddy , appreciate it .

RX135 bore/piston issues.

I have 1997 RX135 and currently there is problem with crankshaft noise and bore/piston issues. Pls. let me know whether there are any good local mechanics in Chennai specialising in Yamaha. Most of the ASC are new and hence not reliable. How is the one in PH road. currently giving waterwash and gen. servicing to castrol bike zone.


Thanks
Sriram

Hey Maniac my answers in bold...cheers

wrong jetting / clogged carburetor circuits / incorrect jets [pilots and mains] / clogged air filter / filter element too thick

Cheers

worn clutch bell + wrong riding style + non matching clutch and primary

totally agree with sandeep,save up & go for a complete rebuild

going for a new bore kit,wrong rebore jobs are the source of most problems in RX

Hey thanks a lot shivanshu , could you explain the process you used for increasing rear shock height . I mean which shocks u used and did u increase front shock height with that also and had to do any other changes after changing rear shock absorber height .

Hey thanks a lot atul , only you could have told this .

Yea thanks arvind , now i got wat u were telling .

First clarify me these two things :

1) Did you buy an RX 100 ??
2) Or you bought an rx 100 converted to 135 ??

Hmmm 15 pages and still u cant restore your rx to running condition, i pity you man
