        Sri, the RDD CDI & 90/100 Kit works well on a RX100. I have fitted one on my friends bike

        Try and get hands on a NGK 5K plugcap its much better in quality compared to the Activa Plug Cap.

              • How did you manage on the dirt with a bangkok chamber on ur RX nitesh ?! You must be a skilled dirt rider !! Nice dirt setup uve got there - you must be eating Impulses for breakfast lunch and dinner ! Is this the same bigbore setup that you built ? @ Big Bore Really like your chamber - ive got something very similar. How does the power compare on both your bikes ?

                And about RDD CDI its something different, i cant believe we are still arguing about this. I run 90/100 electricals and can vouch for its benefits. I took off my RDD CDI and am now running a stock RX135 cdi. Dont find much of a difference - my bike is still quick , revs to the moon , sounds great and does not overheat and im getting pretty good mileage. Infact i like the way the bike sounds and responds , maybe im stupid but i like it this way - it keeps my electrical issues simple.

                  Well Alroy.. the chamber does not perform exceptionally good but as now the bike is modded, my other chamber does not fit. I am in the process of acquiring another one designed to match the looks of the bike. I cant say if i am a skilled dirt rider or not but yes without any practice and as against other pro co riders, i can say my timings were good!
                  Impulse?? any good rider can beat it even on a stock RX! Lastly, no im no longer using the Bigbore setup which our estranged friend Atul did. Btw, it'll be a good idea to ask him for some tips for your Bigbore project.

                  • The power on the bangkok chamber comes on violently which why I said you must be a skilled rider to ride that on dirt ! I like your cycle parts - what setup are u running ? the motor will be built by my tuner - he is against building a big bore setup for everyday street use , says engine life will be very poor - but im trying to better that with good parts , workmanship and Motul 800 if you could post about ur big bore setup on that thread it would be great. I think the pipe big bore is running would suit you great ! most of the competition dirt/rally 2 strokes here run similar pipes !

                        • I rode it! :-D

                          I had the privilege of riding this BEAST! (Yes, you can't call her a Babe!, If you want to, it should refer to Kristanna Loken from BloodRayne! )

                          Although such passionate guys do not let others even touch (let aside ride) their bikes, My enthusiasm and the glitter in my eyes, made him feel pity on me!

                          I think he sensed the desperation to ride her in my eyes, and softly asked me to have a ride! I was like
                          Are you serious?

                          Initially, by looking at the way he used to pull off a stop, I was a bit scared to hop onto her! Later- "I wont get another chance to ride one of the Best RXs in the Country!, pretty thoughtful and brave,eh!"

                          Had a chance to ride it on the Highway!

                          Observations:

                          1. Leave the clutch too early, and you'll be banging your head on the tarmac! A definite wheelie! Need to learn how to tame such beasts. But I did pretty well. Was very gentle while releasing the clutch!

                          2. Twist the throttle a bit more than needed timed properly with the clutch release, and you end up paying sum 2-3 K for the rear bumper of the car in front! I made sure I stayed far from the Merc S class that was ahead, and tried this on the left most lane.

                          3. The RDD kit does its job well, the lighting is awesome!

                          4. Kick started and the loud noise from the exhaust scared the $hit out of me, yes it was that loud. My sweet lil' RX at home makes 30% of the noise that this babe did, that too w/o the expansion chamber!

                          5. Braking, handling, acceleration, the way it revs, the comfy seat and the handlebar! Everything is just near perfect. Needless to say, Beautiful and neat!

                          I didn't rev much, as I was a bit afraid of damaging the bike, & because of the traffic and loud noise!
                          Hopefully, I'll get another chance someday to ride her the way she has been bred!

                          What say BigB?

                          P.S: I know many guys wouldn't like this, I also had the chance to ride his Shogun and his RX-Z. Ripped his RX-Z, and the way it pulled! Wow..

                          I'm ready to be envied!

                          P.P.S: I ain't getting paid for this, also I'm not bribing him with my kind words, so that I might get to ride it some other day! I feel lucky to have atleast ridden it once!

                            THANKS A LOT FOR THOSE KIND WORDS OF APPRECIATION Shreyas It meant a lot to me!

                            You are most welcome for a ride anytime, Shreyas! Because i know how much you respect and love all my bikes, i have seen it in your eyes I saw the passion in your eyes and how cautiously you were riding her for more than 50kms! I normally never give my bikes to anyone other than good friend Nitesh.

                            CHEERS!!
