    May be the Pulsar's lever??? Are you suspecting that one? Glad that it didn't give up during our ride ; I'm really happy & Thankful to God

    I don't remember changing clutch cable for a brief period of time. I have put on new cable after rebuild, let me watch out if there is a similar issue.

    I tried to explain him the reason for not buying that it's not about money, but it's the love for the bike that I dont want to buy and that guy got personal and started shouting at me

    I am a newbie, would fellow bangaloreians share their experience @ MCC?

    Oh by the way, he sells those crap-kits for 5.5K
    MCC doesn't have many original parts. Its a haven for locally made duplicates. Never assume you will get original parts there.

    And yes - that new shop he has opened - "Yamaha Spare Parts" inside that building - its probably the biggest dump of duplicate parts.

    Dont even by a jet from him.

    If you are looking for real genuine parts try some of the Authorized dealers - pay some advance and wait. If you are lucky you will get it soon enough - otherwise for small parts its indeed very difficult to get original items.

    PS: Please avoid Indonesia/Malaysia/Thai/China/XYZ kits ....definitely fake.

    Looking to the pilot lamps; so horrible!!! They've started developing rust around the plated clamps around them. So much to have bought the genuine parts!!! Or is it due to the coastal weather?

    I had written regarding the same issue to YAMAHA ([email protected] and [email protected]) some time back and got a reply that these parts are going to be available only by next year April due to some unavoidable reasons, as the Part is under development at overseas. I have tried my luck with the Delhi dealers and they too dont have RX-100 cylinder kits with them.

    So in the mean while i was searching for other alternatives and found a supplier for the 100 and 135 cylinder kit. If this is of any help to you.

    Company Name: Ganesh Automobiles
    Street Address: 1850 / 49, Naiwala, Karol Bagh

    Country/Region: India

    Fax: 91-11-42182128

    Apart from this there are many kits available from China also but can really comment about the quality. There are Malayasian bores available here in Banagalore for 135.

    I called the number given above and spoke with Vinod (could not get the last name). He said he is the manufacturer of bores and supplies all over India.

    He does not have any 'Yamaha Box piece' with him. However, he manufactures bores for 100, 135. For RX100 he has got the piece made ready for sale. For RX135, would take 15 days to manufacturer. He also said that so far he had not got any complaints from the customer and his bore kits sells hot cakes according to him. All bore kit comes with Goezte power piston.

    He has Malaysian and Taiwan make bore kits which accoding to him has got good finish. When asked about the Malaysian bore out put(bhp), he had no idea but said it is compatible.

    Dont waste money on this stuff. Its utter crap. I know from first hand experience. The amazing thing is that there are zillions of people blinded by this malaysia/thai/china bore stories who spend 6k+ to buy this crap kit.

    Most of them will have a black finish on the fins around the bore. Local make/cheap import. Definitely has to be avoided.

    There are many such suppliers in India today who are into manufacturing their own bore kits for RX100/135. The good thing is, they honestly reply that its not OE stuff, but an after market option for the needy ones.

    Better to use a used 4TL00 or 4TL10 block for RX135 than to end up using such alternative stuff which is going to only hamper the performance.

    I receive so many calls everyday enquiring about bore kits for RX135 & i do have a tough time explaining & educating them about the difference between the OE kit & the after market stuff along with the pros & cons. As far as engine parts are concerned i never ever deal in anything other than OE parts of Yamaha.

    They asked me to send an email to Yamaha customer care & request for the parts & ship them to the nearest dealer. They provided me a contact number - 0120 2351193 stating that this is Yamaha's customer care number.

    I'm wondering if this is the case in every city. Pls post your thoughts. Thanks.

    Thanks for the link @KB100.

    My latest update on a 275 Kms round trip from Chennai-Tirupati
    I could clock 100, though shifting gears are still to become smooth. Otherwise, Rx did its job well. I'm now beginning to suspect the "tuck tuck" sound from the chain due to rear wheel. I guess the alignment is worn out slightly & needs truing.

    Another observation is that the wheel is tending to move slightly (say about 1-2 mm) after which the rear sprockets move. I suspect the rubber dampners inside the rear wheel. Is my assumption right?

    If yes, I don't think this is a normal wear & tear caused for just over 2K kms isn't it?

    Any relevant answer is highly appreciated. Tks.

    never use engine oils for petrol cars on bikes, it will lead to clutch slippage

    you should consider downloading and watching A Bike is Born series argee(if you havent already) its worth it and you will definitely like it, follow the link for details as you are intrested in DIY A Bike is Born :: i2i television

    What to do Sri? I'm running for such things at last moment; I think I need to follow your steps on stocking oil. Already Wifey & Mother are in the verge of throwing me out of home, if I talk like stocking things, then they're going to dump me in the car shed for ever!!! I'll take a pic & post here!!!
