Karthik

Can you elaborate the Gladiator disc set up? I've heard that it is direct fit.
If you could just let me know what else needs to be changes/plonked on RX would help me proceed. Basically, what do we need to look out for?

Time for an update on my Black 4-Speed RX. Well i have not yet converted this into 5-Speed yet, reason being i wanted to checkout the top speed of the bike with just 4-gears. The following were the modifications/additions to the bike:

Gladiator Disc Brake Assembly (See pic attached)
Union Cycle front Rim & Spokes (IRC)
RX-Z Front Fender (Black colour)
RX-K Clutch Plates
90/100 Lighting Kit
NGK Iridium Spark Plug
Central Locking
Some more work on the 140cc Barrel & Head.

The work on barrel will be also be done step by step considering rideability in city I am quite satisfied with the performance considering this is a full 4-speed setup.

- Karthik..

Good to know this Karthik! happy its running great too. let me know which piston, carb etc you have used. Does Iridium make a difference even on a RDD CDI?

@ Ganesh & Sriram, i have also attached a pic of the 4-speed head which came factory fitted in my bike in 2002, it clearly says '4TL5' on LH & manufacturing series 'E1' on the RH side and the brand new head which i have with me also says the same. If your 4-Speed head says something else, then either it might be of RXG or a fake. Its not technically possible to fit an RX100 head on RX135 block until we do some mods, hence the one you have is not of RX100.

Thanks for the pic Karthik. As you said I would need to console myself pressuming it is RXG or worst side it is fake.

Currently my bike is fitted with brand new head over a new std size barrel which is right now a year old. The new head has 4TL5 is on the outer top of head and not inside. I do not suspect it to be fake as it was bought from Yamaha Dealer.

Yo karthik is that the RX-K con rod?

**BigBore** · 12-04-2010, 01:42 AM

Nice and clean engine job Karthik! Keep it up!

Attached are pics during the process of engine rebuild.

@Arvind, thanks a lot for your wishes.

@Sriram, the one running on your bike currently is OE, so dont worry too much & enjoy your ride.

nice build Karthik! super clean!

[QUOTE=karthikdattag;538774]Thanks a lot Arun. I really look forward to you & doc as one of the best 2-stroke enthusiasts in India. The kind of job you did with that 5-speed RX-Z, i dont think anyone in India could have bettered that.QUOTE]

You are most welcome Karthik

And thanks for those kind words of appreciation

Loved your RX's, would be a pleasure to meet you some day!!

Cheers!!

@ Karthik why dont u try the 180 main and see. I think 160 is too small for a stage 3.
how does ur plug look?
On my street port i am using 180 main and 17.5 pilot on a 4spd carb.
Bike also has UNI, RDD CDI 90/100 kit and a expansion chamber that was intially on atuls drag bike.

What monogram have you changed to?
