Really hope I can revive this thread...
Need a bike for work, one with some power and no f*** was given for FC.
I bought my second hand RG sports auto clutch On Dec 2012, here is my findings of my baby :
Model : Suzuki RG Sports 110
Year of make : 1995
Colour : blue
Transmission type : Auto clutch
Venue : Bought from shop @RM1800
Condition : everything was stock, engine was overhauled before purchase (except the body kit and repainting of its frame and engine)
0 - 100 km/h : approx 7 sec (third/fourth gear)
Top speed : 140 km/h (due to running-in)
Tyres : F 70/80 R 80/90
Rim : spoke rims
Amazingly, after a week of running-in of this 17 year old bike, it was bringing me to speeds of 150 km/h avg. please note that I'm a big guy, 118kgs and at 186 cm tall. (pls don't tell me that I shud ride a super bike instead yea? At least not in KL traffic conditions)
After a while my bud decided to get a bike too and he choose the Suzuki FX 125 which kinda out performed my RG at top ends. So I decided the following :
Modifications made : Jan 2013
1.) rear mono shocks : racing boy mono shocks
2.) front forks : increased oil to harden the dampers
3.) exhaust : 41mm x 36mm oval GL racing with shorter stinger (it produced a beautiiiiiiifuuuuullll... 'PING' sound when fired up)
4.) Rims : Racing boy 3 leaf, white
5.) 4t oil : Shell fully sintetic
6.) 2t oil : Shell semi sintetic
7.) tyres : F 80/90 Swallow RC R 90/80 Maxxis (corner 'baring' baby!!!)
After the mods were made this was the results :
0 - 100 km/h : approx 8 sec (third gear)
Top speed : 163 km/h
Apparently, the exhaust with bigger piping had increased top end performance at the cost of low and mid rev... but nevertheless I was enjoying and loving my RG.
And then tragedy struck... While I was maintaining top speed on the freeway for 2 minutes... My engine jammed due to overheating... Badly scored my piston, scratched the block, dented my con rod and con rod pins... Thankfully everything else was fine including me that is.
When at the workshop, the SiFu said that are 2 choices, bore the block, or change to a RGV 120 ori block... Take a guess on what I chose to do?
so here are my current upgrades :
1.) Engine Head : Bore to suit
2.) Engine block : RGV Block Suzuki Original
3.) Piston : OEM RG 56mm
4.) Connecting rod set : T.K.R.J. Forged metal
5.) Crank shaft bearings : FAITO racing
6.) Gear box bearing : SKF Enduro
7.) Inlet and exhaust port : increase 2mm
8.) Carburetor : 28mm UMA Racing
9.) Reed Valve : UMA Racing
10.) Meter : UMA Racing Digital Meter
My baby will be ready after the CNY, really miss it so much. Will update on its performance later and also upload some pics...
Anymore enthusiast of RGs out there please share some info too yea?
Cheers...
