Thanks mateOriginally posted by kjayakannan View PostWhen i logged into xBhp , first thing I used to check your thread whats the update today. Believe me..
All the Best for your rebuild and waiting eagerly to see the outcome!
Not yet & still figuring out understandingOriginally posted by kjayakannan View PostBTW , did u make the LED for tail lamp?
Cylinder + Head = RX135Originally posted by MACH50 View Post@aargee........since your bike is becoming a RXZ.........RX100-RX135 hybrid
and you are upsizing the cc along with the crank shaft n case.........are you still using the RX100 ports and head ??? or are you resizing the ports to RX135 or RXZs size,and what about the carburettor ??? Does the RX100 reed set up needs change then ????
Gearbox = 5 Speed
Its no longer an RX100 except for the cosmetics
Carbs - 28mm Flatslide
Absolutely no issues; everyone in this world are ignorant about RX except that some learn & understand & you're no exception.Originally posted by MACH50 View Post@all.....sorry if my knowledge is faulty(I have very little knowledge about RX bikes,
Yes they're little different on the port; induction - not sure what you mean, little elaboration will help; exhaust - very much & add to that the power box of RX135 missing in RX100 & the sprocketing size of RX100, RX135 4S & RX135 5S.Originally posted by MACH50 View Postbut I feel that RX100 and RX135 had different porting,induction,transfer and exhaust.........so am a little bit curious

As the proverb goes - Patience pays, I don't know in what way it pays or it makes me pay!!! The dates on rebuild has been postponed indefinitely!!!
I'm struck with a new problem of how to resolve; I've this RX135 suspension assembly that is a direct fit on the RX100 frame, but the top bracket of RX100 (how I love it) is not a direct fit. So its either I change the complete fork assy or change only the top brackets. So there're several options for me...
1. Change the top bracket to RX135's; it has its own cons on the meter assy base seating position & I've to rethink as how to do it as I'm not very clear on this.
2. Change the front fork assy; first thing that comes to my mind is people calling me crazy ass; anyway, I should also be able to get it; I heard YMIS has stopped its production too; options need to be explored here.
3. Use the existing top part of the front fork tube & replace everything else including the bottoms. This again cannot be done as I suspect the top part of the tube to bent & this is the reason I'm planning to change the complete assy
4. I cannot think anything beyond the above 3 points
; Suggestions welcome to help me. Tks in advance.

Dude dont break your head do as i said on RDD and chill you will get the top bracket of the newer model, u can fix the stock RX 100/135 speedo on it without any mods."Engine tuning is not an exact science, but with some practice and patience you'll get comfortable with your skill and be able tune for any conditions mother nature throws at you"

Thanks Psycho; You're right that I'm worrying on even minor things 'cause that's the perfection I expect. Anyway, if I can mount the RX100's speedo bracket on it, there's nothing like it as I don't want to have RX135's speedo & that's another problem of mine.Originally posted by psycho 98 View PostDude dont break your head do as i said on RDD and chill you will get the top bracket of the newer model, u can fix the stock RX 100/135 speedo on it without any mods.
Do you think they'll fit? Frankly I don't know how the speedo meter's bracket & the top brackets are related. Any idea or suggestions?Skill is what keeps you on a Motorcycle

Have ordered the hex nuts as you said & keeping my fingers cross until I get them.Originally posted by psycho 98 View PostDude dont break your head do as i said on RDD and chill you will get the top bracket of the newer model, u can fix the stock RX 100/135 speedo on it without any mods.
Actually I want to Thank you for your timely intervention that I learned something new. The new setup has a completely different speedometer bracket mount & the headlamp assy holders. Had I used the RX135's fork & top plate, the build would've stranded.
Thanks so much.Skill is what keeps you on a Motorcycle

Well, actually the fact is half the room is occupied with the parts under the cot; the latest procurement on seat & bearings are running out of space; I need to find some space.Originally posted by psycho 98 View PostNo u r wrong , it will be more or less like a godown
..
Even I'm planning to take an inventory of stock as I'm 100% sure that I've bought few of the items more than once like wheel bearing, spacers, collars & I've 2 clutch side casingOriginally posted by SriramEfunds View Postwill be interesting to see the pic.
