Re: OMG! 3rd RX at Home - 1998 Yamaha RX135 4S

Thanks for the kind words RVSB. I'm not sure of I will be blessed by the God of luck to own RXZ.

You are always the BOSS of RX.

Oh no. I'm just a beginner here. We do have few senior members who are experts in 2 strokes.

Even I am a big fan of your restorations.The One especially is finding a good Mechanic for taking the Devil.We all know Chennai is flodded with Thiefs dressed as Mechanics.That itself is a standing applause from me The amount of detail in your restoration is a whole different league.You are a very experienced TAI-ger.Whereas,Me ?

No, tank is rust-free inside out. The most rusted area is Silencer.

I am a big fan of your restorations. The amount of detail in your restoration is a whole different league.

Thanks for the kind words.

Not exactly. All that we should know is where to look for.

White Smoke ?

May I know the intention of this question?

Re: OMG! 3rd RX at Home - 1998 Yamaha RX135 4S

I'm sorry I didn't ask it in any intention,sir.I just asked you that because the I saw Bike has run more than 75K Kms.That's why I asked.Did the previous owner Re-build the Engine every 30K Kms ? What Oil did he use ? Condition of Head-Gasket and Oil Seal ? .etc Thank you

What if a 2 stroke engine gives white smoke?

Did the previous owner Re-build the Engine every 30K Kms ? What Oil did he use ? Condition of Head-Gasket and Oil Seal ?

No idea

 

[RVSB]

Re: OMG! 3rd RX at Home - 1998 Yamaha RX135 4S

Yes, White smoke in 2strokes is the oil burnt inside combustion chamber. The oil will lubricate the parts and will get burnt in the combustion chamber itself.
White smoke in 4strokes is a issue that we should troubleshoot because 4stroke bikes' engine should not get into combustion chamber. If it gets in, then packaging and oil seal kits and valve should be checked.

No Bharath. Yet not decided what has to be done / how to proceed further.
Mad monkey inside me jumping every branch. Once it is done with enough of jumping I will start stripping it.

Can I know what are all the branches except the listed 3 above your "Mad Monkey" inside you is jumping ? Any other plans ? Why dont you make it a DRAG SPEC DEVIL RX ??? It will give you a thrill if you go with this.

Most of the senior members suggested against RX100 conversion, so dropped that plan. So I'm left with the only option of performance upgrade. Not decided the spec / list of modification yet.

Re: OMG! 3rd RX at Home - 1998 Yamaha RX135 4S

Some Ideas ! This are from my Dad's RE Mechanic who also works on RX bikes.

ART 58mm piston or Original Bore and Piston Overbore
5-Speed Head ported and polished
Keihin D-slide 28mm carb (or Pulsar 150 Carb)
Expansion Chamber
K&N Air filter
Carburetor Upjetting
Engine Tuning
Tires - 18" Zapper C at the rear and R15 V1 17" front
OR Tyres - Michelin M45's both front and rear
RXZ meter console featuring the Tachometer
Rear Pulsar Shocks
Front Disc brakes from Gladiator (Needs the Front Shocks) or RTR (Look Factor !)
Under-Engine Scoop/Guard
Hella H4 headlight on 100/90 Kit
Spokes Re-chroming (To make it shine)
Engine and Gear,Crank Case Black Paint with White Edges and Yamaha Logo Highlited in White
And Please remove that Crash guard !! It looks really Awefull

I also recommend you try Matt Black Colour with Original Badges.I think it will look killer.

Thank you
