Hi

 

About the wheel bearing, like every week when i lube my chain i test them... and over (way too short!) time the rear wheel becomes lose, i can move it from side to side a little, and at the same time it becomes harder to spin. The mechanic says i got too much power for those small bearing with my modified engine, bu ti think that is BS excuse because they just don't have good quality bearings here in Thailand.... because i very rarely let the power out, most of the time i ride very gentle, seldom faster than 120, and usually shift gear up below 3,000 rpm. I ride mostly on torque only, below 5,000 rpm. That should not put stress on those stupid bearings but still - always break so fast. Ok they are very cheap but i rather pay more and have them last long! I think my front ones still original from the Yamaha factory in 1994 At least for me, never changed them. The rear one changed like 5-6 times already in two years, and now need to change again.

 

I often read here about people overhaulin' and reboring block every so often... why is that?? Mine Z just runs and runs and runs, i never have any problem with the engine. Even with bored up/ported 150cc kit, no problem. It's now 78,500 kilometers (plus an unknown amount more because there was no speedometer cable when i got this bike), still stock con rod in there. I myself have done 37,000 kilometers in two years (next week it'll be two years i have this RXZ) and no problem whatsoever with the engine. I replace parts that wear out, but conrod or block - no issue. I still have the stock block, i keep it for spare if some day this racing block fails, but i don't think it'll fail at all.

 

The secret is: OIL. Oil pump wide open, it sure consumes more 2T and smokes somewhat, but the engine runs always smooth and last much much longer.

 

I hope your bike will not develop a problem - listen to the engine, it will tell you what's wrong, you must learn to speak it's language. You can feel in your finger tips if some bearing is about to wear out, you can feel in your behind when there is something lose in the suspension or the axle/swing arm/fork, but most important, you must know how the engine "talks" and you will know when the con rod is about to go or if the piston is about to seize.

 

Ride safe, my friend.......

 

Best regards.....

Nice tips & secrets shared by u bro!

Thanks a lot!! It will surely benefit all of us especially RXZ Clan down here!!

:thumb:

 

& would like to ask anyone who knows, how to DIY adjust Oil pump & 2T pump?

Step by step procedures please.

Very noob here~

heeee~ thanks!

but FAMILY "gotong-royong"!

hahax..

transalte pls..

[PHILIP79]

Guys Guys Guys, I brought Castrol R2 increased acceleration and the problem is there is about 800ml of engine oil in the engine as my friend over pour it... But I dun think there is any issue cos I will try to drain out the excess or I just ride along with it lor....

Oooooo... No wonder. Guess u hav to ride wif tat extra 200ml of eo until the next oil change. No point changin it or drainin abit of it out. Won't be any issue except gonna feel a lil' bit heavy tat's all lah...

[blurchaoz]

syam! might drop by your place later.... want to do something up uh if you washing your bike

Oh red rxz ah? Hehe... Paiseh ah. It's been a long time since I last met u sia, mcm mana nak ingat!? Haha... Alhamdulillah. It's good to know tat the tyre hav been helding u up all tis while.

 

Abt the tyres, as long as it's a new tyre should be fine. Just check out the date it's bein manufactured,remember me telling u on how to check the manufacturing date on the tyre sidewall? I hope u still do!

 

 

 

Desaru? I'm always interested in goin overseas, but no kakis lah. If no kakis, no time also. But the road to Desaru is quite long and narrow u know? Plus all those heavy vehicles zooming by, it's gonna be quite dangerous tau!? I know cause I ever cycle to Desaru once. Scary sia, only 1 lane for each direction and those truck drivers are like soooo in a rush! Maybe we should try riding via 2nd link for a start first. Safer cause it's a wide open road. To the overhead bridge A&W restaurant there, don't know wat the name of the stop is called but it's the only stop wif an overhead bridge... Should be quite a distance to cover, might take us 5~6 hrs of non-stop riding to get there, excluding fuel stops.....

 

ehh jom jom!im onn!!dont care la anywhere in malaysia as long as its a long long ride...some zeckers fear that rxz wont go far...to these zeckers..i dare u to ride up long2 at jb!come onnnnnnn

Hi

 

@ Syamitomo

About the block, if it is "worn out" and you can't go higher with a standard/oversize RXZ piston, you can always bore it up and use VRR piston - it gives you 150 cc Can start at VRR stock bore, then can go up again all the VRR oversizes VRR is same as TZR. The block has lots of reserve - the boss at that shop where i do all my repairs said the RXZ block can be bored up to 180 cc, with special piston. But that VERY short stroke then, and VERY high RPM. Should use different (racing) crank shaft when doing that.

 

What is your transmission there? I.e. sprockets. Mine 16/40. I wonder because you need to rev 6k to go 100 km/h. Mine is just below 5k at 100 km/h, which is why i stay there most of the time. At that rpm, the engine runs like a turbine - no vibration, ample power (even with passenger and up a hill it just keeps that rpm and speed) and also the sound from the exhaust is just nice at that very rpm (Lemang pipe). And also somewhat economic - i still average just over 3 liters/100 kilometers, if i do NOT race other bikes

 

Talking of racing - mine Bulldozer is not good for cornering (too heavy i guess) but is EXCELLENT for drag - one time i drag'd with a cop (!) who wanted to test out his police bike (Tiger "Boxer" 200cc four-stroke).... hehehe, if i were a gangster or something, they have no chance. Some cops still ride RXZ here, too, but rare.

 

Today i already changed the bearings because it got a little dangerous with the rear wheel wobbling about, turned out that pretty much ALL of the bearings needed replacement... the two in the rear hub, one in the sprocket thingy, and all four in the swing arm, too! As even without the wheel in, this was lose, too. So now, already got all bearings new Let's see how long THESE last. I should have changed sprockets, too, but i want D.I.D. and not enough time before work to wait for them to get those.

 

@hotbladerz

Setting the oil (2T) pump is easy. Remember RXZ only got one because it's two-stroke The pump is under the small cover on the right side of the engine, and the cable comes out on top of that, along with the two oil hoses (one going to the oil tank, the other to the carb or, if available, the YCLS unit). You set the oil pump with the setting screw in the cable. This may be hidden under a rubber cap, and fastened with an additional nut. You loosen this nut and then you can turn the setting screw (pardon me but i don't know what's the actual correct English word for it! I mean the metal thing where the cable goes through) like a normal screw, when you "close" it you will set the oil pump leaner (less oil goes to the engine) and if you "open" it, you will set the oil pump richer, i.e. more oil will go to the engine. After setting this, always fasten that additional nut as well or it may "re-set" itself due to vibrations.

 

More oil = good for the engine! But it will also cause smoke, and if you ride primarily short distances and/or use cheap 2T, it will cause carbon to build up in your exhaust pipe which, over time, will cause blockage of the pipe and lesser engine power. If you ride longer distance and/or use a good quality 2T (fully synthetic) you will not get that problem.

 

I hope i could help.....

 

With kind regards......

I believe, the oil pump Thanh was referring to is the 2t pump...

Becareful philip, riding wif excess E.O. is nt good 4 the engine...

Long distance traveling would cause the E.O. to thicken providing more cushioning to our gears...

Having excessive would result in too much cushion...

 

Simply putting it as, extra hard work for the engine to produce the standard performance... "feel a lil' bit heavy"

 

TAking care guys....

"Hi Guys"

[syamitomo]

Hey ppl! I just came back from a rescue mission. Apparently my washin the bikes plan has to be cancelled (Sori to Ady & Blurchaoz.) due to Chin callin me, sayin tat she's stuck @ PIE. Went there only to find out her bike can't start due to piston seize. WHICH is due to her 2t hose not connected properly to her carb without her realising it. Sad day for her cause in the mornin, her rear tyre burst...

 

So while waitin for the tow truck to come, we couldn't start the bike and couldn't possibly push the bike all the way to the next nearest exit which is Eunos(tat would take an hour or so!), an (ADY!!!) ring on my hp and offered his help, a 1 way high class ticket ride on his newly waxed van! Hehe...

 

Now her bike is safely transported under my blok, ready for project later on. Hehe...

 

So yeah, once again, on behalf of Chin & me, a big

THANK U

to Mr Ady for his generous help eventhough he knows tat he's gonna work later on.....
