Posted May 6, 201212 yr Hi, as you may know I bought an RXS100 this week without knowing much about bikes. I have a Haynes manual know and getting to grips with things I should have looked at before I bought it. like the air filter, took the right panel off and knew it was going to be bad, looks like someone has cut a hole in the "air tight" air cleaner box. also there is no filter in there at all. (is this the root cause of my carb overflow issue?) So the air cleaner box is totally empty. Can I get a new filter element? the one I've seen on yambits doesn't look anything like the one in the manual, and can I get a replacement cover? please help J
May 6, 201212 yr Author ordered a replacement box from a breakers for £10. Saw a couple where people have cut holes in them, is this something people do to try and make them go faster or something? seems mad considering the damage it can do
May 6, 201212 yr Moderator Unfortunately yes, they are designed for reliability and fuel efficientcy, not speed. Although doesent stop people trying. They are pretty good out the box TBH. Should get 70 from a good one. Way back in the dark ages we could humble the trailee 125's even if we couldn't catch the road rockets.
