    Yeah, Sorry about that Doc, my mistake, when you said pipe I wrongly thought you meant the Silencer, not the down pipe. In which case, whilst Silencers are likely to be available as a Pattern part at least, I think a down pipe will more than likely only be available OEM, ...from Yamaha! and your odds on sourcing one will still be difficult. but ...hey I liked to be proved wrong!, Nonetheless I wish you luck.. Having said that Doc, re-reading your original posts, if you say the RX100 down pipe is available from £28 onwards, I'd be inclined to get one, if its that cheap and just see what the differences are and how close a fit it is, with a bit of fettling or gun gum paste might be all thats needed to get it to fit, you never know!!. Alternatively, ebay is probably your best bet for new old stock or a better than yours used one. Once again , good luck, keep us informed of your progress.

    Thanks for the comments. I was looking for just the exhaust pipe, not the silencer, so there's no brackets to worry about only its shape and dimensions. Ebay has some of the RX100 pipes under p/n 36LE46110000 and they do look similar being a sort of a shallow L shape with a loose flange fitting to mount to the engine and open where the silencer attaches. Parts drawing sketches of both attached. I should have added that if you click on the drawing, its name will be shown to distinguish between them, although they look the same.

    I would use a heat gun as there may be thread lock on there and should help undo. I've had to jump on my breaker bar in the past

    I've just been on You tube, looking at vids and comments on the RXS100 and 3 months ago a poster stated... I'm from the Southern part of India. I own a 1989 rx100. It is really tough to source parts. Yamaha alongside Escorts(an Indian brand) used to produce parts for the bike, but no longer. he went on to ask about parts in UK and the reply was, he was experincing the same situation. Well, looking at the part numbers you supplied and subsequently looking at the exploded diagrams of both exhausts, you can see straight away the mounting brackets are fitted in different positions. The frame for the RXS uses thicker steel and although may be of similar shape the mounting lugs must have been moved, hence the diffence in the mounting brackets of the exhaust.

    "surely someone must sell pipes for all the other years.... " Not wanting to dampen your spirits but...even 1990 was 34 years ago! Manufacturers of OEM parts and pattern parts have to decided how many to make, bearing in mind how many bikes exist out there and how many were made and sold at the time! and how much demand there is for those parts, then you've got to store those parts. I've got a couple of 70's bikes BUT they were both popular bikes in their day with high numbers sold and still have a big following today as a large number of both machines are still around. Consequently they have a reasonable amount of parts available and remanufactured. I can't say for sure that the RXS100 sold in high numbers (in the UK) against the slightly bigger 125s and has the same following as my older machines, but I don't see them around, but i maybe wrong. Unfortunatley I think the odds are not stacked in your favour... Bit of googling, suggests the RX100/RXS100 was very popular in India. The RXS being made out of thicker steel and modified components.

    You can never tell... But it's strange that fowlers only lists one year. Got a link?
  10. Dr Sangrado
    I didn't think to check the year, assumed the same one would be used throughout the production period, Would there be a special pipe for just one year? Was 1983 the first year of production? Perhaps it had a unique design but surely someone must sell pipes for all the other years the RXs100 was made.
  11. Snakebite68
    From what I can see, Fowlers don't list one for 1990, just for 1983. AND it's not available... Got a link?
  12. Dr Sangrado
    I've just acquired a 1990 RSX100 in fine condition, apart from a rusty exhaust which detracts from its appearance. The only company I can find with one for sale is Fowlers (p/n 5H5-14611-00), £201.82 including VAT! There are many companies selling RX100 ones (p/n 36LE46110000) from about £28 upwards. I thought the RX100 and RXS100 were much the same bike. Presumably the pipes are different but can anyone confirm this and explain why the price of the RXS one is so high. Buying an RX one and trying to make it fit is a tempting idea but probably not feasible. Has anyone any ideas? Thanks.

    Thanks for the replies. I have been trying penetrating oil but it is getting it into where the actual male and female threads are in contact. Also breaker bar is an old school Norbar torque wrench which doesn't flex, well not at these sort of torques. Access is tricky for anything too brutal, not wanting to damage the bike when it does let go and tools move about a bit. Also I seem to be at the maximum the rear brake can apply when preventing the wheel from turning via the chain which is of course straining those components too. I'm going to call in at the MOT garage over the weekend and see what they can do. Thanks again for all your suggestions. Richard

    Yeah, too far away for me, I'm West Yorkshire lol. Ok, a 2' bar isn't as long as you imagine (I use a 3' breaker bar on mine). I assume you're trying to turn it by hand, your legs are stronger. I would try one of these: Do the same as you were with someone on the bike and the brakes. 1/ Soak the nut in penetrating oil. Put the bar on so it's horizontal and put your foot on it. Making sure it's not gonna come off the nut, start taking up the flex in the bar. Once there, bounce slightly. If you're using a proper breaker bar, I'd expect to see a very stiff nut flex a 2' bar a couple of inches. One of these bounces should crack off the nut. 2/ Soak the nut in penetrating oil. Put the bar on so it's horizontal and put your foot on it. Making sure it's not gonna come off the nut, start taking up the flex in the bar. Once there, get a third person to strike the back of the socket with a hammer (firm flat blows (doesn't have to be really hard or anything)). This will basically act like an impact gun.

    Spain ....Nothing in UK? although you probably won't find one much cheaper than that Spanish one. I'd imagine that they hold their value on the second hand market too. ...if they ever come up!

    another effective method is a hammer and a sharp chisel to knock it around and unthread it. Its a bit of an acquired skill, but once you get it going its comes off easily. Don't hit it on one facet of the nut, vary it.

    Where in the UK are you? Might be someone close with an impact gun...
  22. Bourneriver
    Hello Thanks for your reply. Picture attached. No protruding thread but looking at You Tube videos for other bikes (inc. XT660) they are all right-hand threads, so suspect mine is too, I think now that its just very tight. Asking around a friend has said he had similar when a bike shop fitted his sprocket with a pneumatic impact gun - suggests over-torqueing which is a worry. I didn't own the bike when my sprocket was fitted so can't be sure. May have to talk to my friendly MOT garage and see if they can get it off. It's that or drill the nut and split it

    Suitable for Yamaha mt-09/fz-09 gen3 2020 onwards only. Removed from trade in works great with all aftermarket upgrades like filters, exhausts, de-cats, cheaper than a fixed tune that would need constant retune after every change to the bike, constantly making tuning adaptions no matter the mod for ultimate best fueling for more power and torque and a smoother throttle response at low revs and full. EVO - Plug & play control module & wiring harness Rapid Bike EVO exclusive add-on module puts in your hands total control of fueling operations as it is directly connected to all stock injectors (up to eight) while managing at the same time the corresponding air/fuel ratio. In this way the carburetion values can be modified throughout the entire engine power delivery curve. The ability to manage stock lambda sensor signal allows performing the exclusive auto-adaptive feature to secure that fueling is constantly adjusted while riding the vehicle. The injection map becomes a dynamic value in order to match the changing weather conditions and driving style. This function is highly beneficial at low and medium rpm where the engine performance is poorly limited due to more and more restrictive anti-polluting regulations. Rapid Bike's modules utilise the lambda sensor allowing for a drastic improvement of engine performance and fuel efficiency across the entire rpm range, especially in the closed loop section. All kits come with wiring harness and instruction manual.EVO: With auto-adaptive technology the map is constantly adjusted while riding the vehicle. Connected via the bike specific wiring harness and with free downloadable software the adjustable map can be modified throughout the entire power delivery curve. Will include full install instruction manual. Same day postage. PM me for postage cost

    There should be enough of the thread sticking out for you to see whether it's a left or right hand thread. A picture of the offending item would help here...

    Hi Everyone I'm Richard a new member from the UK Trying to remove the drive sprocket on my 2011 MT-03 660. Bent back the tabs on the tab washer but I can't seem to budge the nut. Don't have a pneumatic impact gun so using a 2 ft long bar, person on bike, both brakes on. Still no-go so I'm wondering if its a left hand thread or there's a trick I'm missing? Don't want to use heat as I have an O-Ring chain, plus not sure if there is a nearby output shaft seal or similar. Any suggestions gratefully received. Richard
