[BodilyPartsOnTheRoad]

Wah! Still alive ah! I tot u die oreadi.......

 

I wonder where have all the K have gone. They were so 'talkative months ago. At the road oso bo layan.

 

 

 

hahahaaaa..... not yet die lah ~~ just relax and read post only. .. . too busy to post....

 

 

anyways, since i given up touring on this RXK, i may try to respray my Rxk. . . been reading up abit..... but not time to do it. ..... so if any body wanna do a (long lead time) painting project.... may wanna join me.... target completion year after next! hahaaa

[theredszone]

anybody can answer these questions?

 

1) i wanna use clip-on handlebars, but i have to move my headlight lower. Got any brackets that can clip onto the forks so that i can move the light lower or not? as opposed to the 'welded' brackets that rxks have on.

 

2) wats the largest size rear tire that can be used on rxk? 100/90 can or not?

 

3) ANYBODY KNOW WHERE TO MAKE CAFE SEATS? and HOW MUCH? asked the ppl on the vintage /cafe thread, but tak layan. haha.

 

4) anybody know how much it would cost to send my frame for pressing or something? the frame just below the seat is senget. nothing dangerously serious or anything. just irritatingly ugly.

 

5) has anybody ever tried sending their tanks for welding or something to extend it further into the seat, making it longer and thus increasing fuel capacity? if have, how much ah? and where?

 

6) alternatively, is there any other tanks that would look nice on RXK?

 

7) that day got somebody wanted to sell me RXK manual for 10 bux but i havent been online for so long. still have or not? haha..

 

8) it seems like most RXKs have problems with their electric system, eg. IU, meter, lights dun work when bike is turned on. only works during revving / riding. what is the problem?

 

9) Anybody here wants to seel RXK parts / accessories?

 

 

 

 

Thanks for taking time off your busy schedule to answer these questions.

These questions have been compiled from 3 RXK users (including me) and they would like to know how to better their bikes.

2. alternatively, u can also adjust the clutch cable to fully De-clutch.

 

yeah, i fully 'de-clutched' it. but found it, its actually the push rod i think. it was misaligned a bit, therefore clutch couldnt engage.

 

but dat problem solved, came another one. fuel tank had an internal corrosion and now there's a hole at the base of the fuel petcock.

 

sad and disappointing.......

[archish]

BTW for parts I am selling new rx-k engine bore for 290$....

1) i cant ans ur q sia. lol side track abit. eh clip on handle bar u attaching to rxz fork or rxk fork? will it be too low? my handle bar not very low but its lower than the original rxk handle bar. while riding sometime too low not comfortable sia. esp to the balls. cus keep leaning forward. dunno if those hu had changed to clip on had this uncomfort prob?

[MUSHA]

usually i will ride at 110 to 120km/h on expressway. but my meter like not zhun de. i think my 110 is 100km/h. but seriously y 2t bike like tt. i wanna know sia. rxk fc like a abit better than sp onli lol. actually i also dunno how to measure cus my tank no gauge. then i cant pump full also cus later turning the petrol spill out from the tank.

 

Meters on 2B bikes are all not as zhun as the 2A n above bikes. 2strokers are known to be more fuel sucking than 4strokers. There is no 2 ways about that. But u enjoy the power and less changing engine oil often.

Finally got somebody answer. Eventhough ur answer isnt what im looking for, at least u answered. hahaha. nvm. Since i posted that i've found out alot of things already.

 

Im using RXK forks. Clip ons will be low, but thats how i want it to be. I think it will be lower than how ur bars are right now. And it will definitely be uncomfortable. haha. But i dont mind.

 

Now i wanna know if anybody can answer questions 2, 4 and 9 only.

[theredszone]

usually i will ride at 110 to 120km/h on expressway. but my meter like not zhun de. i think my 110 is 100km/h. but seriously y 2t bike like tt. i wanna know sia. rxk fc like a abit better than sp onli lol. actually i also dunno how to measure cus my tank no gauge. then i cant pump full also cus later turning the petrol spill out from the tank.

 

 

the smaller bikes are always like that la. the meter's never accurate. Just know that if ur riding 100 on your meter, its actualli 90 or so. its always abit slower than wat the meter reads.

 

and RXK fc is better than sp.

 

if ur tank cap leaking, nvm. most of the yamaha RXK / RXZ tank caps like that la. If it happens, what u can do is use the white plumbing tape, u know the kind they wrap on pipe joints so that its tighter and waterproof? ah the white tape in the blue round casing.

 

use that, wrap on the inside of ur tank cap. Do it a few times, do as much as u can. Once theres alot right, the first time u wanna close ur tank cap, u must push harder. But after that, your tank wont leak anymore. if u need pictures, i can show.

 

alternatively, u can go to bike shops and ask for the rubber ring, like gasket like that, for ur tank cap. that will solve ur leaking tank.

hey, i just realised.

 

U changed ur RXK to 12V? How's that working out for u? How's the electrical power now? got dimming lights on idling anymore or not?

 

Total cost for converting to 12V is how much ah?

but still quite high. but the insurance and price of rxk lower than sp. i was thinking of getting a gd fc bike like fz150i. but the insurance can kill sia. 900 over for 2nd party.

 

ya hor. can do tt. hmm will the petrol like drip out when u pull up the cap with those tapings? if wont drip maybe sch holidays i will try out.

 

hmm u changing to cafe style. hmm if u not riding this bike often still okay. if ride everyday, the uncomfort really will surely become an aching problem lol. think next time when my fork gone case then when i change to rxk fork then maybe i use clip on. cus the fork higher, if not wrong.

 

if u see those original mud guards while u were finding cafe parts post k. i tired of polishing the mudguards when it rust so fast. lucky nowadays the sun always up. i see my degrading mudguards i also sian.
