    Yes he had to scrap the tank completely and do patches on it as it was completely rusted. After that i got the anti-rust treatment & painting job done. I bought new panels as the old ones were broken and got them painted.

      The block piston was last over size (thats what my mechanic told me).
      The gearbox is of a 5-speed RX135 which i got from another stock bike.
      Rest of the upgradations are all mentioned above. As a layman i can only give you these details.

        Was 5 speed gear box a direct fit to RXG?

              I was glad to receive the comments on my Shogun rebuild . Now i am presenting you my Yamaha 1996 RXG135 (5-Speed) one of my three bikes (2 Yamaha's & a Shogun) that i own. I have completely restored it to new after more than a months struggle of running around for genuine parts. A heartfull thanks to my friend who has helped me rebuild this bike for me from scrap. Hope you all like it. Do give me your comments and advices on the work done.

              Thank you!
              Great work, nicely executed. On a scale of 1 to 10 for that bike, I'd give you 8.5. Excellent stuff nevertheless!

                        Whats the bike's condition? Is it a 4s 0r 5s? Give some details if you dont mind. 8,000 is a steal

                        No offence meant, getting rid of that engine cowl will make it even more appealing to the eyes

                        How much did the RPM meter and the RXZ 4s casing cost you?

                          The bike was completely junk when i bought it as it was standing at an open place for 6 years. I bought it only beacuse the reg. papers and insurance papers were clean. It should be ready by next week. Making it a stock RX135 4 speed 1997.
                          The complete cost of RPM meter and casing costed me around Rs.3,000 (Please dont ask for a break-up)

                                Dude,thats a wonderfull bike you have got there!!! enjoy it!! but Please dont spend any more money on it except for fuel and other consumables. The RXZ casing+rpm meter+rpm cable wont cost 3k. Please contact Ron chinoy of RDDREAMS.com for real performance two strokes. I dont want to say that you have been conned big time but the fact is, it is true.But Every two stroke junkie has once been conned by the gentlemen breed, out there who have decided to cash on our two stroke passion.
