[Group] YAMAHA RXZ

Aiyoyo. Nvm lah. If ppl chope already then should find a new one lah. Wakaka. Anyway was thinking of changing to sotong uh. But for dispatch and long distance travelling... -Any pros and cons there? eg like wear and tear when compared to other tyres...

 

sotong not bad.. nice to use.. but how sotong u want to go? untill the stage of viva tyres 60/90?? ever used it before and it totally sucks during rainy weather... long distance travelling will heat up the tube and end up with flat tyre bro.. dispatch wise (totally not advisable bro)

 

a 80/80 on union cycle spoke rim just seems to be the right size.

Hi.

 

Yes it is possible but involves a bit of work and is, as far as i know, illegal to do in Singapore.

 

Please see the pictures of my two RXZ. The black one (named "Bulldozer") has a rear disc set made of a VRR rear hub, oversized shaped brake disc, home-made adaptor, additional aluminium adaptor, fake "Brembo" caliper, Kawasaki brake pump on home-made bracket and modified adaptor to stock foot pedal. I bought these parts second-hand from a forum member in Singapore, it was "bolt on" as was previously used on an RXZ.

 

The red bike (named "Destiny") incorporates exclusively parts from Yamaha VRR, there are rear hub, disc, caliper, bracket for caliper (modified to be used upside-down), brake pump, foot pedal and footrest set (slightly nodified to fit to RXZ's frame). The only home-made part in this setup is the "arm" that takes care for the caliper not being able to rotate when braking, this uses stock RXZ's swing arm mount.

 

If you have ready access to VRR's parts this is the easiest way to do it - no fabrication of parts needed, just some small modifications to make the parts fit.

 

Braking power on both bikes is much better than with stock drum brakes, also there is no need to ever adjust the brake, however initial setup is made complicated on both due to the caliper being upside-down, very hard to bleed the brake.

 

Oh, and here in Thailand nobody cares for such modification, i.e. it can be considered "legal".

 

Kind regards.....

[boi_s]

[zerin]

hi can i ask something regarding electrical issues for my rxz?

 

how can you tell whether the electrical problem is because of a weak battery or a spoiled rectifier or coil without the use of the volt measuring meter because i dont have one ?

 

well, see, i have installed this loud car horn like horn and it has been doing well and scaring the hell out of a whole load of ignorant drivers..

 

but recently, if i press the horn, it wont honk anymore.instead it just give a puny croak just like a sick tired frog..seriously.. and when i press the horn i noticed the neutral lights also momentarily fade off everytime i pressed the horn.. so i thought the battery was weak and thus i rode ard at a constant 6 to 7k rpm to charge it up.. and amazingly it worked.. my horn was working once again..

 

however, the very next day, i rode a short dist and i realised the battery was weak once again as the horn croaked again and whenever the signal lights was on, the neutral light was fading too like its going to die like that..

 

Im so sorry for the grandfather story but i just want to seek advice, whether should i just buy a new battery and fix it up myself or just go to my workshop to get it check and pay extra labour charge ?

[zerin]

the output of the electric from rxz cannot support loud horn.. your situation is the same as my rxz last time.. my brother change back to stock horn and it work well..

one thing good.. rxz can be ridden without battery. hehehe..

Hi all,

 

RXZ Y4 block with piston size 1.00 for quick sale...ORIGINAL 55G NOT LOCAL ONE

 

sms me 9875-9408 to grab it...

 

ya..give your offer price...will sell to highest bidder.

 

HOT item!!!

[Thanh-BKK]

one thing good.. rxz can be ridden without battery. hehehe..

 

Yeah.

 

But if you have LED lighting and it is not made with individual voltage regulating circuitry "riding without battery" is a sure way to kill the LED's.

 

I know because i just did that last week. My battery died and the voltage from the rectifier (no load as the battery didn't take charge) spiked to 24 Volts.

 

The rectifier didn't like that, either, it died a few days later.

 

Best regards.....

anybody wanna let go der fork?

oh i see..i loved the horn.. saved me quite a few times..

so sad if i couldnt use it anymore..

 

So theres rly nth i can do to increase the electric output like using a better battery or relay or what nots?

[zerin]

Yeah.

u have to go to a trustable mechanic bro. for me i know that they used original parts. as after i went to another shop after tat to do up modification, the mechanic didnt say tat my stuff are local. of cos ur bike feels so smooth... they can do it less then 12 hours.

another option would be accompanied by someone who knows the mech. shouldnt be a problem. or worst comes to worst, go early, wait till finish. but super sian la.
