Little difficult to say that Sri; May be some more close up on that 5/5 pic is better, especially during that 99.

But why do you think its not genuine?

I was arranging some of the old parts with me. I came across old head which was packed. To my surprise could not find any sign if it genuine one and not even sure if it belongs to RX135 4s. Please advise.

Here are the pictures.

specially bajaj is first in this category (meter down start saving to spend in future)i have seen pulsar's in such horrible condition's(become like a bullock cart)top to bottom,sides all vibrating,my god atleast HH is better a hundred time's quality wise

As a boy, I was in love with KB100 very much & I used to cut the pics of KB100 from newspaper/magazines & put up on every notebook & walls. Once I started working, I landed up buying Max100. All my relatives were asking as why I didn't buy KB.

It was such a good motorcycle with a good balance to power, handling & economy, but using too much of plastics on it made the vehicle rattle a lot. It was after this, I was bitten by Rx bug & then remained Rx man till date

To my knowledge, this is the difference between Indian & Western manufacturers in terms of cost cutting...
West
- Company says, do cost cutting guys, so every vehicle manufactured will have few lesser bolt & nuts, but each bolt & nut will be little hardened

India
- Company says, do cost cutting guys, so every vehicle manufactured will have disposable items such as oil seal, dust covers missing; this will not only reduce our cost, but also vehicles will need more maintenance

My neighbour's dad is working here in Bajaj Auto and when he sits and chats with us he tells us many things about the production how what when,he says bajaj makes such vehicles,bikes,scooters where after 2-3yrs theres no life left and customer has to spend from his pocket for maintenance,he says no product quality at all,finally he says time is changing before we used to make legends in bikes,scooters now we make high priced plastic toys

Oh!!! No Sri, there's one more...change the wheel bearings which I haven't done till now though I've them with me. So what's stopping? The dust cover/oil seal are rare to find these days.

Heard through sources that the Pulsar/Discover motorcycles do not have this concept of dust cover/oil seal & hence are prone to more damages or wear & tear on the parts.

Your clear diagnosis to the issue and fixing it is commendable! Happy riding.

Good that you reminded me; I've changed my plugs also to the NGK (OE one) at 4080 & let me see how it goes. I've one full week to test the outcome.

saw that NGK after a long long time can say good plug's or you can say the best for the RX.

Whew!!! What a day today!!!

After changing to new front sprocket, the "tuck tuck" noise was gone, however, I was still not happy with something; so finally I decided to open up & change the chain. Started with opening the rear around 8:30 AM, removed chain cover, rear wheels & front clutch cover. Looking at the clutch hub (this was not changed in the build) I felt it needs to be changed & that too when I have one in stock.

So removed the hub & in between found the bearing went kaput!!! Man so much of noise from the bearing. So I decided to change it & bought a new one; then the oil seal/dust cover went kaput!!!

However I couldn't get the oil seal/dust cover & had to juggad it & put it back. Fixed clutch hub to rear sprocket, fitted the wheel & clutch cover.

Whoa!!! What a finish, absolute noiseless, the power of new chain & bearing are clearly visible. Finally fitted the chain cover & then adjusted the chain.

Took a spin for 2 Kms just now & I'm immensely satisfied; I've never ridden my Rx so smooth ever since I purchased it!!! This is why I do not prefer to change one part at a time & like to change things entirely, or rather the assembly as such.

Sry that I couldn't take pics as my hands were completely greased.

Welcome back @JD, this thread was almost dead without you

Whether bike is running good or not, I'm beginning to learn on tuning the carbs to an extent, so I'm now getting little confident on that part.

Its running smooth no doubt & the mileage has improved (earlier some moronic mech has set it too rich) & I'm able to top to 110 on speedo. I guess its still running rich & I need to figure out how to make a right mixture. The airscrew is what is troubling me a lot to learn.

Hi aargee.. just got back.. hows the bike running??

Finally got hold of NGK BP7HS. What's more pretty news is that, I got hold of a stock that's 2+ years old. An original NGK, Made in Japan . I hope this will resolve any confusion related to NGK, Rx & the model number.




I need to Thank Sri for getting this to me indirectly.

Update

Clocked about 4158 till now & I changed the carb setting at 4010. Here's the color of spark plug until now. I'm assuming its burning a little lean now.










Guys, pls help me to conclude if its burning little lean & any tips if adjusting the airscrew will help or should I play with any other setting. Though the vehicle is smooth, I lost on the top end as I'm barely touching 100 compared to earlier 110 & I've lost on the pickup too. Pls advice. Tks.

There's lot & good ones too I infact made a big post on last Sunday evening, but just didn't want to update unless I'm 101% sure

Pls wait, I've crossed 4100 Kms marks now, let me make a trip to Point Calimere this weekend & will update here.
