Cost wise, I- 2 is turning out to be 1k more expensive than the G1, that is I-2 is 4.5k and G1 is 3.5k.
Just an information for fellow RX fans and owners.
OE Cylinder kits won't be supplied any further. Have a look at the official announcement from Yamaha India.


So when you find any old stock, be it G or I or ABCD what ever the series it may be, stock it.

Mr Boss ji,

One word awesome,

For some reason, the stance of the bike has changed. The possible reason could be height of rear shock absorbers and position of the handlebar OR could be the angle of the camera. Please clear my confusion.

One more suggestion, please decrease the distance between the headlight and speedmeter console.

It's the rear shocks height (taller by an inch) and the camera angle making the stance a bit awkward. Let me post a clear snap by this evening.

You mean the height? Since I'm using center lock from RXZ, speedo bracket needs some modification to lower the position.

Its not at all easy to make out if its working just fine! If the oil starts breaking down, it will provide poorer lubrication which may not be immediately apparent, but can reduce engine life... and may also cause other problems. Generally, shelf life is said to be 4 years max... so better to be on the safer side.
Hello @raccoon. I was looking for some help regarding my modified yamaha rx 100 and somehow i landed here. Please forgive me if this is not the appropriate way to seek help, but i am somehow not able to send private messages.
Well, I need some help regarding carb tuning and oil leak issues that i have tried and failed to sort after numerous attempts. I am in Pune and would like to talk to you about this. Please revert if you can help me here. Im Kshitij Bongale and you may also reach me at kshitijsmail at gmail.
