          Good job

          Please share the details of the works carried out. Seems like there was no chrome job or anything of that sort done. If the finish on the brake hubs, head, etc are the original one hats-off to your maintenance

          That kicker is the one that came along with the bike or you replaced it? It is difficult to source that kicker now, that's why I am asking.

          Happy riding

              Thanks for a lot guys for your appreciation.I bought it from Pollachi near to coimbatore and the guy who sold this bike has done all the restoration job.He has already two RX100. So i thought he has good mech to achieve this. And the price is 34.5K. I dono whether the price is too much or not ? you guys to tell......I brought this into chennai and did some minor jobs like battery replacement, bulbs, rear numberplate and there was some oil leak so done some little job.

              Still some jobs pending
              1. Need to check Oil Tank currently premixing the oil(2%) in petrol tank. I bought the Yamalube and have to fill it and check on this week end

              2. The bike has done extra coil rewinding and the owner had put 55/60 W main bulb initially. very slow response light. And remining bulbs had gone fuse. So my mech has changed the rectifier, Wiring and replaced the fused bulbs. After that we changed to 30/35 W Osram for head lamb and went fuse after changing rectifier. So changed to 45/50 W Yamaha bulb and doing good. Tail lamb went fuse. So need to check that.

              For tail lamb what I need to do? do I need to increase the Watts? or need to check the recitifier?
              Also suggest me the good bulb for head lamb? I am thinking to get Philips..

              3. Side handle I need to get it. I checked on the Yamaha showroom they gave the Crux handle with hook. guys please suggest me the RX100 handle.

              4. I have to replace the Speedo meter needle and it was broken last week.

                Hey Jay dont get me wrong but 34.5K is just too much for a RX100. But no doubt the bike is in very good condition, i loved your LEGEND
                The mirrors would have made it look complete. But finally its your choice DUDE

                  Very nice bike... Congratulations...
                  (But even i think that 34.5 is a tad high for a RX100)

                  Anyway enjoy your ride and do keep us updated on your adventures on the bike..

                    Yeah thats true but my calculation was if I bought the vehicle for under 15K I must buy all the spareparts for restoration to its new. so it will cost around 25K or more.

                    So it will come around as more than 35..so I opted this for clean papers and nice work already done..

                        3% 2T is recommended quantity. It is advisable to stick to that.

                        Smart card fee is most probably the money R.T.O charges to give out the RC in plastic card format. It is much better than having a book.

                        And yeah, mirrors are needed! Not for style but for safety.

                          Hey Dude i completely understand that you are very much content with your beautifully restored RX100. But i always believe that buying a dirt cheap RX (with clean papers) and restoring it hardcore is more fun than buying a pre-restored one. Trust me restoring a RX is quite an adventure and pleasure.
                          Ask Senior XBhpians like NitinGirish, Yamdoot, Atul_Astro, Psycho98, Timsy911,.....(and the list goes on...) They all would agree with me
                          Hope you dont get me wrong Jay
                          Dont wish to offend you in any way
                          And lastly do put the RX mirrors not only for complete stock looks but for SAFETY too!!

                            Congrats!

                            Getting RX is very nice.. and if it is a restored one is awesome....

                            Question: When you say restored.. even the oil pump was restored? I know it makes very little difference to that of mixing it while fueling.

                            Enjoy the ride!

                              do agree your points and I will install the mirrors as well.

                              When ever I am starting my bike, must be use cold start (choke). Is it always required for RX100. I asked my mech he told yes.

                              Please your sugesstions...
