8/9/2019 Similarity & Difference in Yamaha Rx 100 & Rx135 Indian

1/3

I am listing down some basic differences & similarities between 4-speed & 5-speed RX135 (Includes RXG & RX-Z), which will help people to differentiate & learn more about these legendary series once produced in India.

1. Bore Kit (a.k.a Piston-Cylinder Kit / Barrel / Block)

4-Speed - '4TL00' with OEM "ART" STD piston '4Y201', Rating: 12BHP @ 6500RPM5-Speed - '4TL10' with OEM "ART" STD piston '4Y201', Rating: 14BHP @ 7500RPM

Note1: To check the originality, the LH side of Cylinder (Gear shifter side) has 4TL00 or 4TL10 marking along with 132cm3 (which is the displacement) and the RH sid(Crank Kicker Side) has the batch of manufacturing, for ex., E1, E2, E3 or E4 (All of them have exactly similar performance, people who swear by performance ofE1 being the best, is all crap.) Also if nothing is mentioned or some other type code is mentioned, then the Cylinder is a fake, except for '4Y201' which is the original block of RX-K.

Note2: The Cylinder packing has the following description on it:

1. RX135 4-Speed / RXG / RX-Z 4-Speed: "Cylinder Kit RXG"2. RX135 5-Speed / RX-Z 5-Speed: "Cylinder Kit 5-Speed"

Note3: Displacement calculation

For Std RX135 being a single cylinder engine, we have the following inputs,

Bore Dia = 58mmBore Radius = 58/2 = 29mm

Bore Radius Squared = 841mm2Stroke Length = 50mmPi = 22/7 = 3.142857 (Corrected upto 6 decimals)Number of Cylinders = 1

Displacement in mm3 = Stroke x Bore Radius Squared x Pi x No. of Cylinder= 50 x 841 x 3.142857 x 1= 132157.143

Displacement in cm3 = 132157.143/1000= 132.157 (Corrected upto 3 decimals)

2. Piston Kit

The OEM Piston kit for Indian RX135 series are from "ART" Japan. For Indian models piston sizes from STD to 0.5mm are available (in steps of 0.25mm). On careful observation of the piston, one can identify if it is original or not. Simply turn the piston upside down & inside we can see "ART" & "4Y201" clearly written. This is the proof for original piston. The piston kit essentially comprises of

· Piston (STD/0.25mm/0.5mm)· Piston Rings· Piston Pin

· Clips

Note: The pistons are the same for RX135 4-Speed, RX135 5-Speed, RXG, RX-Z.

3. Carburettor Assembly

The OEM Carb assembly for RX135 is Mikuni / UCAL Mikuni. The Carb assembly are d

ifferent for both 4-Speed & 5-Speed versions.

4-Speed: '4TL 01' with Main Jet = 165 & Pilot Jet = 17.55-Speed: '4TL4 20' with Main Jet = 135 & Pilot Jet = 15.0

These are VM type of Carburettors manufactured by Mikuni & both are 22mm. Additonally VM24 & VM26 are used for RX available in South-East Asian countries (LikeSingapore, Indonesia & Malaysia) and in South American Countries (Like Peru, Argentina & Brazil). The details of these are given below:

VM24: '2YA 00' with Main Jet = 145 & Pilot Jet = 20.0VM26: '55K 00D' with Main Jet = 210 & Pilot Jet = 22.5

These carbs (VM24 & VM26) are direct fit to Indian RX135s with some minor jetting changes required based on the Power output of the engine.

Note: The type code is mentioned just above the 2-T oil Inlet in the carb, withthat the originality can be confirmed.

4. Head Assembly

The heads are also different for 4-speed & 5-speed. The type code is mentioned below:

RX135 4-Speed: '4TL5' written on inner side (Top) of Head (For OE fitting Catalytic Converter type)RX135 4-Speed / RXG: '4TL00' written on inner side (Top) of Head (For OE fitting Chrome Silencer)RX135 5-Speed: '09L' written on inner side of Head

5. Clutch Bell Assembly with Primary drive

The clutch bell assembly are the same for 4-speed & 5-speed RX135 (Including the number of Clutch plates), but it is different for RX-G. Below are the differences mentioned:

RX135/RX-Z 4-Speed/5-Speed: Main Bell = 74 TeethPrimary Drive = 19 Teeth

RX-G : Main Bell = 71 TeethPrimary Drive = 22 Teeth

6. Chain Sproket

The sproket (Front & Rear) are all different for entire RX series. Detailed info given below:


3/3

4-Speed: 16T / 34T5-Speed: 15T / 38TRX-G : 15T / 37T

7. Gear Box

The Gearbox are obviously different for 4-speed & 5-speed. Details below:

4-Speed:1st = 35/11 = 3.1822nd = 30/15 = 2.0003rd = 26/19 = 1.3684th = 23/23 = 1.000

5-Speed:1st = 35/11 = 3.1822nd = 30/15 = 2.000

3rd = 26/19 = 1.3684th= 24/22 = 1.0915th = 22/24 = 0.917

8. Engine

The engine may be classifed based on Top End (Included Cylinder+Piston & Head) and Bottom End (Includes Clutch Assembly, CrankShaft, Engine Bearings, Crank Kicker, Engine Cases, Clutch/GB Covers, Ignition coil, GearBox Assembly etc as major components). Most of these items are already covered in points 1 to 7 above.

Note1: The RX135 4-Speed & RX-Z 4-Speed share the same Engine, likewise RX135 5-Speed & RX-Z 5-Speed share the same Engine.

Note2: The CrankShaft Assembly is the same for RX135, RX-G, RX135 5-Speed & RX-Z.

Note3: We can identify looking at the Engine number if the Bike was a 4-Speed version or a 5-Speed verion. Check the details below:

1. RX135 (With Chrome Silencer as OE fitting): 1L5 XXXXXX2. RX135 (With Catalytic Silencer as OE fitting): 4TL XXXXXX3. RX135 5-Speed: 1L7 XXXXXX4. RX-Z 4-Speed: 1L3 XXXXXX5. RX100: 1L1 XXXXXX

P.S: The RX135 5-Speed never came with OE fitted Chrome silencer, the OE fit was the Big Hot-Tube type catalytic converter Exhaust.
