Hi All,

I am newbie to this forum as well as motor-cycling. I have got a yamaha rxs100 off ebay for £500. It is in a running condition but there's rust over quite a few parts and the aluminium coat on the engine block has come off. Wondering what can be done about it.

I have taken some pics but not sure how to attach it on here.

Thanks

should have read FAQ! first...

Here are the link to some of the photos

Hi and welcome to the forum. Ali can be bead blasted or liberal use of something like Autosol, some cloths and pleanty of elbow grease. Do not use steel wool or a steel brush.

Some people would consider rubbing it flat and using some high temperature silver aluminum spray paint.

well they are nice zippy little bikes but you paid top dollar for it in that condition!

I would have them aqua blasted and repaint them it would look so much better

Greetings and

Welcome to the forum. Nice bike, my first was an RXS100.

Welcome rulz" you have a trusty 2 stroke, simple engineering,,, you should buy a manual ,,, read up before stripping the bike,,

Thanks for your reply and welcome guys.... will definitely need to get hold of manual before unscrewing anything. Just waiting for the right weather to start some work on it .

yes i did realize later that I paid bit high for this condition. Got a bit desperate and very excited with a thought of owning a rxs100..

Thats what its all about,,

Have got hold of of a manaul for RX100(probably a similar model for asian market).

In terms of tools, what are the must have's ? I have got few pliers, screw-driver and sockets but nothing professinal.
