Got a new RX 135 - 5 speed

nitrogary · 4th October 2009, 10:16

hi everyone!
having owned an RD for four years, i decided she needs company.
so have got this 2000 model 5 speed.
got her thru a friend. the previous owner is also on the forum

bike has 17.5 k kms on the odo and seems pretty much unmolested.
most parts are on the vehicle so i am pretty happy with it.
engine is strong and pulls clean in upto a 115kmph on the odo. this would hopefully be 100+ true.
i am attaching pics as well. hope i ve done it correctly.
need to do some work on her to get her back to pristine condition. next few months will be duly dedicated to that.
will keep the updates posted as and when they happen.
cheers!

Good one Nitrogary,

crazydiablo · 5th October 2009, 20:31

Clean bike i must admit. (I have xray eyes to see the beauty of the future)

Ajaybiz · 6th October 2009, 11:47

Congrates mate even i have the same beauti from 2000 end in maroon color but kept her in classified as i am not able to do justice for her :( BTW how much you paid for this.
Looks like gas tanks bottom got some welding job, usual for Mumbai bikes.

I was suprised at the title. 'New' ?? You don't get new 2 strokers around here now

Anyways congrats for the bike.

My sentiments exactly.

I have a Yamaha RXZ 135 (4 gear) 97 model, still doing great. My only grievance - wish it came with 5 gears back then.

Convert it to 5 speed mate, kits are easily availabe.

can you please let me know where? even I have been looking for conversion

Ajaybiz · 6th October 2009, 14:39

Search JC road and get it done with some trusted mechanic, google it about what parts are going to get replaced.

Thanks for the suggestion mate.

Can this (4 gear to 5 gear conversion) be done at the authorised Yamaha Service Centres ? (My bike has never been to any unauthorised service centre)

Any idea about the approximate costs involved ?

Has anyone done this conversion in RXZ/RX135 ? Anyone with first hand experience ?

I am not too much into experimentation, don't want to ruin the lovely bike.

BTW, which service centre do you guys visit in Bangalore. I am not satisfied with Pacer Yamaha (Near Safina Plaza) or Orion Motors (Behind Forum).

Rohan,
Bangalore
