yamaha rxs 100cc cafe racer project

I learnt something at college!

 

it lives got it going today,although i put a new plug in yeserday the bloke down the garage put anotherone in and it went first kick and he didnt charge me for the new plug either

 

yeh you did!


and nice... faulty plug ? or your plug lead wasnt on properly.. haha

 

painted a part of the engine cover blue will put pic on tomorow and im think of buying some carbon racing reeds are they a good upgrade??

 

nice bike, i had a similar bike cafe style, mine had a "few" mods. does yours even have reeds i thought they were piston ported? btw you dont use an osscillope for checking cdi's you use a multimeter and a peak voltage meter. yours must have been a very late model as the 125 law came in a few years before that if im not mistaken? if you want decent power out of it send your top end to stan stevens. heres a pic of my gt125 twin cafe (it got stolen before i finished!)

 

shame it got stolen it looks nice, i think mine has reeds as they sell them for it and mines a 1992 and i think the production was 1986 to 1996 so it is quite a late one

 

mine went like a rocket, i got 80mph in 4th gear and didnt take it further as i was scared! you should keep your standard (except the pipe), theres waaaaay too many shityy cafes about, mine was only cafed because the seat pan rusted all the way through and the bars were bent.

 

yh iam keeping mine standard other than the exhaust and im not cafeing it any more as ive got a better seat now with a solid seat pan as thats why i was going to cafe it

 

it gone to a bike garage up the road today and is going to get fully service a new clutch and the carb set up properly

 

all fixed runs lovley adjusted clutch and carb properly set up and if you full throttle in 1st now it pops straight up on the back wheel

 

so no real mods other than a teddy i won at the arcade but i have now sold my speedfight and i get this otr tuesday. i am going to start looking for a spare engine to send of to stan stephens to get rebuilt and tuned. has anyone had an engine done by him?

 

I love this! I'm really excited to get an rxs or something similar! there is a bloke who has one near me turns heads on it all the time! love these bikes

 

got it on the road today and i love it !!! it dose 75mph but cam out of tesco and it was laying on the floor with a broken indicator

 

I pushed it over because I was jealous

 

so im currently bidding on this seat

and i will be respraying the take oil and air box covers and head light and possibly de-chroming the bike thinking of doing kenny roberts design on it or just going with a diffrent shade of blue and im also thinking of cutting the back of the bike down as it is so long but not sure

 

Nice mate

 

so had my clutch cable snap yesterday and my speedo cable snap last week while chasing after a bloke who pulled out in front of me so i have ordered new ones and as the engine cas has to come off to change the clutch cable iam de greesing a few parts and having ago at polishing the case dosnt look brilliant but looks good enough for me and i will post pics tomorow

 

i won the seat and its on with a custom ply wood base and a custom stainless steel tail bit to hold on the light and number plate pics will be on tommorow when i have the bike in 1 peice

 

dosent look very good atm but over the next few weeks i will be trining it down so its tighter to the frame and painting it in winter when im not using it
