Thanks for sharing, When I was the owner of the bike, I never saw this document.

It has actually rekindled some old memories. I had this bike for many years, during my college days and what fun it was, impulsive rides to Lonavala (During monsoons), late night rides to marine drive and the exhaust note was meditating. It was a fuss free, simple piece of engineering marvel purely made for enthusiasts. Loved to keep it in top notch condition. In those days, Mechanics around the college were my good friends.

I have one hard copy of the owner's manual with me, but a soft copy is also an asset for both its owners and admirers. I am uploading the RX-100 workshop manual (compressed pdf) which will also be an asset for us.

The workshop manual



The original bill from 1990 (Rs 24,149 with a few accessories)



The one time tax in Maharashtra then (Rs 1,550=00)



The TP insurance receipt from 1991-92 (Rs 40=00 p.a.)

After viewing Rushab's thread this morning, I garaged my four wheeler in the afternoon. It was a sunny and hot day here.

My RX-100 that was resting since about a month was cleaned and it needed just five kicks to fire its engine back to life. That's how forgiving the iconic RX-100 is !

The engine sound with some initial groan seemed to complain to me saying "why was I kept garaged for 30 days ?"

My answer was " its summer and you cannot cocoon me with an A.C. and pamper me like that four wheeler which I garaged for your sake right now."

I took it out for work and it did its duties flawlessly like it has been doing since the past 33 years. I saw an Indianoil outlet enroute that was retailing XP95, the 95 octane petrol and topped up the RX-100's tank. That's for the long life of the engine and for avoiding the Road Transport, Highways and Petroleum, Natural Gas Minister's cocktail of 91 octane petrol with the ethanol blend. RX-100 fans need to watch out and preferably use XP95 for the bike.
