I have just taken my RXS100 for its first ride since I bought it.

It goes really well to be honest, much better than the Yamaha SR125 I took my CBT on, and the brakes are better than I was expecting considering they are drums.

The only problem I have is that after the 12v conversion the indicators won't flash unless the engine is revved.

Very pleased with it though Smile

However I am still hankering after a TZR125 even if it won't be any faster.

Well I believe in being legal (Sort of) and 12bhp on the RXS is going to feel similar to 12bhp on the TZR as I am still on L plates.

The only difference is the TZR handles better, looks better, has better brakes and has an extra gear.

RXS's are so awesome! They last forever, and then a bit more for good measure.

How are the other electrics on a 12v system? The only quirk i had with mine was that the electrics were. . . .erm. . . .character building. The headlight dimmed in time with the indicators and everything dimmed when the brakes were on Laughing Slowing to turn right on a dark and busy road was a bit 'invigorating' Shocked

The electrics are good now that it is all 12v apart from those indicators.

I am thinking I have a duff flasher as the battery is good and I have good output from the generator.

Either that or I have overlooked something on the conversion.

I shall have a look over the weekend. Smile
