Is there any sense in converting a 4 speed rx 135 with 5 speed gear box, 4 speed head and bore, will there be any changes in its performance

Better low end with 4 speed bore, 5 speed gear box means better and smooth top end.

You can buy the conversion kit and keep them if you're planning to go a full blown 5 speed conversion. Who knows you may not get the kit in the future !

My suggestion. RDD head/piston mod a must, ported stage II 135 barrel or 5 speed barrel atleast ! with the 4 speed carb and Chinoy Filter. If you want to enjoy the bike to the max go in for a RDD CDI as well. Collect all the parts and then carry out the conversion.....

Cheers :)
