<grin. Sorry. It kinda shows I have no idea what I'm doing doesnt it

I'm not at home right now so cant put pics of my bike up. Googling rsx100 definately brings up lots of listing such as http://www.bikepics.com/yamaha/rsx100/ Also, searching Haines, Haynes Yamaha RS/RSX100 & 125 Singles Manual www.shopwiki.co.uk › Accessories › Bags You +1'd this publicly. Undo ShopWiki has 33 results for Haynes Yamaha RS/RSX100 & 125 Singles Manual, including Chinese 125 Motorcycles Service and Repair Manual (Haynes ... It looks like the RS/RSX100 may be the same bike, possibly just a year thing? I'll chuck pics of my bike up when I can. There's a small pic on my new members post. Cheers

Thanks for the hello's! This is the little girl Can't ride her yet as having a minor issue, but cant wait!

Hey Cynic, yeah I am in the UK. RSX100's older brother was the RS100, another cracking little stroker though not quite as quaick as the RSX. Or so I am told. Both seem to be no relation to the RXS. Still no joy finding a kick start for my bike as yet. Can't wait to ride it.

Thanks guys. I think I have come to the crux of the problem. I managed to look up the kick start on the parts manual, and the straight one is indeed what I need. The confusion comes from the model names. RSX and RS seem to be in one corner, while the RXS stands in the other. Mine is definitely the RSX100 model, so now, all that is left is to locate and buy the correct kickstart. (Oh and to flog the two wrong ones I ordered ) Cheers

First post, first motorbike. Having ridden peds for about 8 years, I decided to up my game in preparation for doing my full test in a year or two. I bought a good condition yamaha rsx100 which a friend of mine who knows more about mechanics than me checked over. It seems to be in great condition, both mechanically and body wise. However, the one issue it did have was the kickstart lever. The ring of the lever has worn down and thus needs replacing. Being a complete noob. I bought a kickstart lever for an rxs100, believing the parts to be interchangeable. I appear to be wrong. The lever arrived, different shape, and the connector ring is too large to fit the kickstart motor connector.... thingy. So i put out a call to a few scrap yards, got a response. Yes we have a kick start lever for the rs100. (I'm told rs100 and rsx100 are definitely interchangeable. This one arrived, but was exactly the same as the one i had bought before, the rxs one. So now I am utterly confused. When I called the scrap yard, i was told that they had definitely pulled it of an rs. I'm now wondering whether there may be a possibility the kickstart motor connector thingy may have been replaced in the past. Or some such. I have a picture, the longer one on the paper is original, and the two that I bought next to it. Does anyone who owns my model have any idea what may be going on, or at least is it possible to confirm that the longer original one is for an rs? If not, then at least I know where I may be going wrong. Many thanks for any help in advance!
