  • Gone too far! Lost my path! Once again, I am back On xBhp!

    Hello, everyone.

    I remember my college days when I used work on an RX. Once I got out of college, there were just memories left. After my right shoulder dislocation, I stopped riding bikes. But now, after finding my way to xBhp, I want to to get to work on restoring another RX-135... this time, very patiently and with utmost care.

    Need the support and guidance of seniors here.

        Hey Xbhpians,

        So finally took out my dismantled rx135 out of the garage and took it for a wash. Now when I dismantled the bike back in 2016 i remember I had almost all parts of it. Now I see only the engine, cat silencer, chasis and few other parts are left over. Now the effort I will have to put in is long to rebuild the bike.

        The good thing is that, the chasis was painted in 2016 and tight wrapped so the paint still remains decent. Haven't decided on the budget now. So for now will be sourcing parts one by one

        I found this guy in Chennai J S Jones who almost has all of rx spares.

        I don't know how much it will cost to source almost every part brand new. But I am not giving up. Tomorrow is Sunday and I will be going to collect the chasis and engine parts from WAsh.

        I believe this would be an interesting restoration. It will take ages for me. But I shall put all my efforts now.

        My Mechanic Abuthahir in coimbatore has come forward to restore the engine and send it back to me. So once the wash is done it will be packed and sent to coimbatore.

        Will share pics tomorrow.

            Took the engine for a wash to remove all stains and grease. Finally figuring out the missing parts of engine and this will take a long time for me sure. Work and this love for rx is now being balanced and giving time for this remake is going to be tough though. Going through the manual to figure out the missing spares of this engine.

            Major missing -
            1) Clutch Covers
            2) Coil

            New buy must:-
            1) Carb Assembly
            2) Manifolds
            3) Reed Valve


            Will be posting the list of the spares missing to restore the engine. And it is surely going to take time since i will be going through manual and sit down to list the missing spares soon.
