Posting pics of my friend's RX 135 5 speed bored out to a 160. Pistons changed and UNI air filter installed, 10-piece expansion chamber and upjetted carbs. Pops up the front wheel in 2nd.

IIRC,The Tiger was a kinda economy model in the range.

Hi bikers,

Posting my bike's pictures. Its a Yam RX 135 "5 speed", 2000 model. Its my daily use bike. Actually I've waited for about 1 year to find her. Hope you guys like it. Awaiting your valuable responses.


Cheers.cheers:

^^ Hmmm bigger shocks and 16" wheels, whats the top speed you have managed to do !

sorry dude...My speedo is jammed..I think now a days she suffers some problems.I don't know whether its with the CDI unit.The bike vibrates and sounds a metal to metal sound at high rpm ie; after 70kmph.Yet to be figure it out. If you have any suggestions,that will be much appreciated. BTW I'm not a techy spechy guy.

Cheers

@arungee6: bike looks superb. Is that the RD handlebar you are running?
Also, the noise and excessive vibrations could be due to excessive play in the crank and in the cylinder.

Thanx dude,


Yep its a RD handle bar (after market). Well there is no problem with the crank or any other. I've actually checked it with the experts. Her engine is smooth as silk. There is just a sound of clutch play,when idle. She is clean. There is a missing at high revs plus vibration that's it.

Cheerscheers:

Here's my humble old bike :)







Its a '00 5-Speed with new 4 speed maroon tank+sidepanels, with a P200 frontend with 260mm disc brakes, a custom chamber built by a very good friend of mine using mota software and running a Keihin PWK28 and a custom made air filter. also have a topeak panoram V12 for a speedo and a pulsar tacho. running a Zapper FV 2.75x18 in the front and a Michelin M45 3.25x18 in the back. Have a separate 17" frontend with a R15 front tyre, but no time to fix it :)

Although I have a stock top end ( bore + head+porting) I dont get anything more than 13-14 KMPL lol:

myoil pump stops working at times.how much 2t should i put with the petrol
?

^^^Stops working at times??? :Shockked: Dude, that would be catastrophic!

Btw, how do you know its not working "at times"?

Normally, modern 2 cycle engines require 20ml/litre petrol or at the very max 30/litre... if you conditions are extreme.

But you cant just add this much oil in petrol tank when you say your pump works at times!!! Either dont use the pump and add oil in the petrol or get your pump fixed.

my bike little updated.

Pulsy rear Shocks
Front disc conversion complete
New Front tyre
Ported Reed cage + Fiber Reeds
Malaysian Spec Clutch plates

Did you change the triple clamp to a Pulsar's too?

I think that 'crash gaurd' would do more harm than it would protect. But that's just my opinion. Can you show us what the air filter looks like.

Just a single round tacho mounted looks good. :)

many rx series bikes owned by in my 12 years of biking.

1.My first rx is Rx100 1994 model,purchased as second hand in 1998 and ride it till 2001 as totally stock no modification.In my opinion highly reliable and good bike for learner or beginner at that time.

2.Rxz 4 speed 1998 model as second hand in 2004.totally in bad condition,rebuild it to like new condition.cost of rebuild is almost 14 k INR.but my Rxz is looker at that time cos of white paint job.totally stock no modification at only sprocketing for better FE.
