Rx 100 expansion chambr xaust.

[ultraculture1...]

Cant find one anywhere
Im turnung my rxs100 into a classic scrambler and looking into aftermarket bits. Im wondering if the dt pipes would fit, but tge theres the routing problem.
Does anybody know if there are any guys thatvbuild pipes to order?
Also does anybody know about the wheels. I want to put a disc on the front as 2 drum brakes isnt enough for off road. Can i get away with just changing tne tyres for some dual purpose?
Excited about this project.im surprised id never heard about them until now. Id put this on a oar with my old RS that had no pv. Probably quicker in all honesty.

If you were brave enough you could pick that up and get someone to modify it so it was high level scrambler style. Could be done as long as adapting it didn't screw up the volumetrics.

Just a personal preference, but a clean standard RXS would be more phwoarrrr than a hipster garage build. But hey, is your bike dude.

Rs with no pv was an Aprilia i had last year. It wasnt 'full power'
This rx is on a par up to a certain speed.
I have thought about doing a restoration but ive got my heart set on some kind if dual purpose bike. Something fun to rip around town on but capable of some light trail riding.
Im wondering if the a dt of the same yer would have the same yokes so i could fit dt forks.
This is my first attempt at a serious bike modification so please excuse any silly errors or lack of knowledge.
My first job is to chop down that huge saddle. Its the size og my bed!
Then the brake issue. Has anybody had any success converting drum to disc? I am again hoping the dt wheels and brakes will bolt straight onish.
The shocks will be exensive too unless again i can salvage parts from different bikes and adapt them to fit this one. The loom us another problem. Apparently its only 6v whilst all looms are 12v now. I do not want to strip the loom if i can avoid it.😨
I will try and keep this thread updated with pics as i make progress.

Mick Abbey is the go to guy for RXS Tuning.

I know a YBR front end and wheels will fit with a little modification so disc brakes are no problem. Not sure of the DT parts.

6Volt or 12Volt, with the sort of power load you are talking about, the wiring is fine for 12V But why change to 12V ?? LED Lighting is now available for 6V systems, even the AC powered Tail/Stop light. The ignition is CDI and on a different circuit to the lighting so unaffected by the 12V conversion.


Without putting down the infinite wisdom of all on BCF you will find more/better info on Yammy100 dot com. There are all sorts of mods documented there.

If you're going to the trouble of looking for DT forks I wonder if it might be less hassle just to buy a whole DT? Front end swaps are rarely simple and then you still have the hassle of sorting the high level exhaust, shocks, etc..

No you can't really convert a drum brake system to a disk. It involves rebuilding the wheel with a disc hub and also welding a mount for teh caliper onto a fork leg - really really not worth it.

I would strongly urge you to find a MOT failure/barn find DT that you can work on and fit some dual-sport tyres. You'll learn plenty on the way and then maybe ready to tackle a more ambitious conversion.

OR

just use the RXS as is - fit a high-level front mudguard DS tyres slighly longer shocks, thicker fork oil and have a blast..

Yhanks fir sll the info chaps. I will check out yammy100 forum.
If i could afford to outright buy a dt i woukd but the year i want tends to be pricey for what it is, especially compared to the virtually identical kmx which go fir almost half the price of an identical dt.
So one reason is funds, the other is my new fascination and growing love for this plucky 100cc engined retro looking bike.the third reason is once i have set my mind on something i get stubborn about change.
I do like the idea of thicker oil in forks and dp tyres for light trail work. Im going to put a set of trailie bars on it as a quick cheap mod that will give it a more aggressive stance.
As gor the 6v/12v issue i am a bit of a vlueless wonder when it comes to bike wiring/looms i wpukdve thought 6v eould nit be powerful enough for better headlight. Also worried that my 12v bike battery charger will kill the battery on this rx.
Id also like to fit an alarm and micro usb charging jack if possible but thats a minor issue.
So Mick Abbey. Yammy100.com. ybr forks/yokes for front disc brake. Great advice do far guys. This us why bikechat forums is my favourite bike forum. 💯👌🚵👍

What year of DT125 is so damn expensive then that it makes other 125's look like bargains?

Air cooled resto's are appreciating sure, but an mk2 DT125LC is as good as any KMX or MTX etc. And newer DT's are nothing special, after the late 90's they got uglier and harder to derestrict properly too.

Might be able to put you in touch with someone that has a micron for one that they were selling for £50

Was going to buy it but ended up selling my Rxs for an offer i couldn't refuse! I'll look for the guys email address PM it too you if i can find it

I believe Martin Johnsonn aka Martin77 made a pipe for an RXS and tuned it to buggery.
