A friend of mine is interested in it. Rode one back in the early 90's as I recall. San Diego Trials dealer was given one as a demo and we all took a turn on it. Nobody had any kind comments about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Basically Russian yes, and not very good out of the crate as a trials bike. Wrong back mudguard and Yam MX seat plus TY decals on tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b40rt Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 One ridden up here fairly regularly, but has a modern front end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Our local dealer had them at the time and I had a ride on one. Forks were very notchy and stiff, we think it was caused by the mudguard brace pulling them out of line. Rear shocks not even average. Motor gasped at bottom end, just where you need it to pull cleanly. I remember Jon Bliss riding one in the Sebac series for a while. He converted it to reed valve and sorted all the problems out and it seemed to go reasonably well, but in standard form, at that time, as a budget entry trials bike, you'd have been far better off with a used mono Yam which would have comprehensively slaughtered the RTX in performance in all areas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scot taco Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Thanks to everyone for the information.I will relay to my friend.I don,t really care for it and after getting the facts on it would probably pass on it for the 700.00 asking price.

andy m Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 You would be best giving a wide berth , get a tatty ty175 instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 You would be best giving a wide berth , get a tatty ty175 instead. Maybe putting the ty engine in it, would be a novel idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
