I've only one thing to say @Yamdoot, whether ppl provide incorrect solution intentionally or unknowingly, I might miss a few things in the beginning, but you know very well, I don't give up until I fix things

So when I follow their advice, end of the issue, I know who talks genuine & who doesn't. Right?

Trust me, NO ONE has guided me incorrectly till now; 2 guys to whom I'm owe are, JD & psycho98.

Sri is one guy to whom I owe everything ; like I said before, if it were not him, my Rx wouldn't be up & running even now. He's really a God sent, atleast to me @yamdoot.

Definately. Have sure learnt a few things.

Yah @JD, but, I'm trying to sound as funny as possible; you'll not know how much of frustration I was undergoing. Before I could fix the jerking issue, I was so much annoyed seeing another Rx; here I've been spending a bomb to get every nut & bolt changed for this jerky ride, while some guy is riding his rusted, old Rx smooth!!!

Yeah, its all getting better these days & my knowledge too

Thanks man; I guess your experience speaks up here

WOW! Im so happy to see your intense love for the bike. you surely deserve to learn more man and you will. Just keep in mind to ask the right person for help.. prolly someone who's a local and see him work.. understanding something on the phone/ internet will never be complete unless you see it from your own eyes. Do what experienced ppl say and dont disregard them. I know people on the forum who will never want to see others bikes getting better than theirs. So keep your eyes open.

This is some story man!!

Lol
Buy tools & start servicing your beloved all by yourself.

Oh man! I wish there was a like button in IPB like you do in Facebook My mechanic busted the paint job on the fuel tank while trying to take it off, broke the yamaha emblems on both sides (they were original) feels bad man

Lucky??? Spend countless hours on browsing, browsing & browsing Sri, any issue can be fixed - that's one of my take from these experiments.

Well, not much on the gear shifts, the story is coming though. I'm beginning to AGREE with you on the consequence of continuous shift down when running.

I guess the mistake was on my side, anyway too early to comment. But neverthless, will find out soon

Hats off to me??? Lol, what for Arun? My knowledge is half-baked & I'm doing something what all others have done a decade ago.

I'm really doing this because, I'm tired of being taken for a ride. Also one more IMPORTANT reason...

When one gives the vehicle to an independent garage or even at A.S.S, the issue is that, those guys treat it as machine & do all nonsense when working, but we do take care. To give an example, when they remove the gear lever, they use a screw driver or something to pull the gear lever out; yes I too do the same, just that I wrap the screw driver with a cloth so that the paint is not damaged.

When I remove the side panels, I place them inverted at some good secured place where no one can reach easily. But at a garage???

Never I've placed the fuel tank on the ground, I always place it on the seats. But at A.S.S???

This is what is the difference between business & passion!!! There might be some good mechanics who would want to do this, but few guys who work under them are careless!!!

But, the cylinder & cylinder head's are hot!!!

Damn!!! I mean hot even for a 2-3 Kms ride. This was really a frustration I didn't expect this to happen. All this happened on a Sunday; so the next day, I'd taken scooter to office & Gosh!!! my bad that I totally forgot that I'd an RDD Junkie working at my office.

Now he provides me a set of docos to go through on the timing thing, timing gun, sparks etc. Only then I did realize what I'm trying (trying???) actually what I did & I was like . And not to mention, psycho98's explanation on how I could hole the piston; all put together made me

I became a perfect example of what half knowledge could fetch!!!

I know Nitin, have been reading his thread on RDD too Hats off to you Ganesh

Truly unbelievable and sad you had to go through frustration to realize what was the issue. One good thing is that, you are in a way lucky to find out the issue and fix it. You can now enjoy good iginition, lighting and butter smooth gear shifts all the way through !

The issue with gear shaft is something we need to analyze if it was of 100 by any chance, A defect that had creeped the Q.C checked line at the factory last but not the least smart selling?

Obviously one cannot be sure by looking at some mechanical components unless they have indepth background of their dimensions except some shabby outlook.

and then realized, I hadn't fixed the gear shaft; by then I'd engaged the clutch too!!! but then I hear a mild grinding noise, in a vain I tried to put off the engine by closing the keys. But the engine wouldn't stop as I'd taken the power supply from battery.

By the time I took it back to fix the gear, the damage is already done; but little did I know that.

So I put back all the screws on the casing, fixed the gear lever & then engaged the gear this time, all I hear is "shhhck" sound & the gear won't engage. Now I know there's something conked off for sure. This is really frustrating!!!

Again, started calling up people & everyone said the same. Fixing a new generator WILL NOT conk the gears!!!

So what do I do now? I'm frustrated. I packed up & called a day!!!

Next day, I drained up the oil, removed the clutch case, called up a regular mech & replaced the gear shaft. Whew!!! The gears are smooth now!!!

So if one moves few pages back, I'd reported saying the gears are hard & the issue is finally being fixed. So what was the issue? A faulty manufactured gear shaft from Yamaha & it took about 3 months OR 5.2 Kms for us to realize!!! Can anyone believe this? All of them are genuine parts from YMIS. Sri, can you believe this?

So after fixing this, the gears have become butter smooth, but...

'Realized' here means 'to be continued' He is narrating his experience regarding installing CDI in installments.

Realized....

Good to know that you were able fix the issue. After plonking the RDD goodies, how was the ride? Update please....
