Threeonthetree Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 With the upcoming shed tour, I have started to tackle some of the small jobs on this bike. I have removed the tank in order to clean it out properly and will try and source a replacement fuel tap while I'm at it. This one leaks. I gave the chrome a polish when I wasn't motivated enough to do any actual work (but still wanted to do something) and stumbled upon a cheap bike cover which should keep it cleaner for longer. The bike has a VIN plate riveted to the frame so hopefully this makes it easier to get back on the road legally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skunk Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 2 stroke takeover is on the cards! ringdings for miles. although AX100s do have gay gboxes being fourspeeds. The selector on them is the worst design I have ever seen. Once the gearbox gets hot it goes into 'magic select' mode. 'Magic select' is a system of gear selection where you change down (for example) and get one gear down, or a false neutral before it, or a false neutral after it, or the next gear below it. Until you let out the clutch you'll be completely unaware of whether you're even in 'magic select' mode or not. Trust me - I used one of these engines in a race bike. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Well why did you use an Indian spec comuter bike for a race bike idiot.... Highly rate my ax100 for round town ring a dings, haven't had any gear issues, or any issues actually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlownCorona Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 not neal. unless skunk is also Indian, regardless i wasn't using indian as an insult or anything, the ax100 was mass produced for the Indian market for daily commuting with minimal (and i mean so minimal it was foreseen owners would tension the chain and change the oil) maintenance. i was simply hinting at why it might not have suited race bike application without presenting some sort of issue. but meh, im sure this will all get moderated out anyway, i just primarily wanted to explain i didn't have anything against india/indians/any race.

kyteler Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Uh, I don't think anyone saw the Indian comment as anything other than a descriptive, it was more the point that you called him an idiot for modifying and using such a thing seemingly out of nowhere when you don't appear to know him at all. It's generally seen as a little bit rude. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threeonthetree Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 Removed and cleaned the tank, tidied some wiring and replaced a few broken bits. Runs much better now and will start 1st kick when warm or second kick from cold. Time to fix the exhaust leak. Will probably get it done in a few months haha 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h4nd Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Well why did you use an Indian spec comuter bike for a race bike idiot.... Interestingly, I too raced one of these. A guy I raced against said he'd got ~25hp from his on the dyno. I have footage, and should get around to putting it on UtuTube. Bucket Racing. Yeah. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 At the risk of more spam, apologies for coming across as being rude. More to the point, more details on getting 25hp from one h4nd! Also Neal, sweet bike keep it up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Its a GP100 not an AX 100 and the GP stands for Grand Prix it was developed as a class leading small bike with disc valve induction. It was developed for Europe and Japan, and called the GP because the Suzuki RG500 was Leading in 1978 With Barry Sheen at the helm, and the 100-125 Class was the Learner bike class, and considered extremely hot property at the time. The AX100 was a Chinese and Indian built commuter bike. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKD Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Like. that boxy rear seat extension would look nice and café-y if you shorten the seat cushion itself?? and move it forward low seat pad then kick it up to follow the extension angle at the rear.? liking the build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I agree, that was something I considered when doing mine. Just needs a slimline seat pan and some nice padding and upholstery. And zebradude yep I know this is a gp, the whole ax100 thing stemed from a comment I disliked, but I'd really like to put all that to bed. Back on topic, along with MKDs seat suggestion, I'd like to add that I think the real gaurd should be shortened and repositioned to suit. Also lowering the seat height with thinner padding makes the relatively small tank look way nicer and gives the silhouette of the larger bikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
