Yamaha RX 100 (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Yamaha RX100 is a 98cc two-stroke single cylinder aircooled motorcycle. It was M/s Escorts Limited's "Bread and Butter" model for close to 12 years between 1985 and 1996. The only changes in its 11 year production history were the pinstriping and an upgrade to a 12 volt electrical system. Escorts Limited partnered with Yamaha Motor Corp. in 1983 to launch the "Rajdoot 350" a license produced Yamaha RD350B. Another player in the Indian two wheeler market was IND-SUZUKI (TVS Motor Company today) which, as the name suggests, joined hands with Suzuki to launch the 8.25 bhp (6.15 kW) IND-SUZUKI AX100 in 1984. Taking a page out of TVS-Suzuki's book, Escorts soon realized that sales success lay in smaller displacement bikes that are more economically priced and cheaper to run. Thus launched the YAMAHA RX100 in late 1985 (Workshop Manual is dated May 1985).
