check tyre pressure and correct if required. front-28 rear-32.

No Issue.

very important - check chain tightness/slack. a chain too tight may give similar problems. check if the chain is too tight. and check at all locations throughout the length of chain.

as said earlier, if tyre pressure and chain tightness is ok.
|
Quote:
|
check if either front or rear brakes are too tight, check by rotating the tyres while on center stand. wheels should rotate freely and there should not be much of a "grinding sound".
|
All good.
Quote:
check both wheel bearings and sprocket bearings.
the idea of checking the above is to find out if there is any obstruction in the bike to run properly.
|
Again fine.

i am assuming you have not put any mudflap of cardboard in front of engine, like many people do in rainy season. as it obstructs the flow of air to engine.
|
No Mud Flap.

now the engine is overheating and there is a burning smell from engine, burning smell is the smell of burning clutch plates caused either by clutch plate slipping or engine overheat.
such situations also arise when you ride too slow for too long like in bumper to bumper traffic, so that is not a problem, or stop go situations in hill climbing. make sure you are not in these two situations.
|
No such traffic/ No hilly road.
Quote:
also check oil level?
also check if oil is leaking from somewhere, because burning oil will also produce sound. if there is oil on or around engine or gearbox, when it gets heated, it burns and give burning smell.
|
I got the oil replaced when I sensed the oveheating issue.
now you also need to tell us--
Quote:
|
is there too much smoke from exhaust?
|
No.
Quote:
|
you said there is strange noise from engine, you need to identify the noise, what type of sound is it? and from where it is coming??
|
It is the usual noise which is heard when we accelerate hard.
Quote:
|
you also have to tell whether this problem started after doing servicing or in between??
|
After 1 month of the servicing (done in Dec last week), this started.
Quote:
you said one year old pulsar and only 4000 kms done, it means you must not have done all free servicing properly? correct me if i am wrong..
is this burning smell coming after you started the bike after letting it stand untouched for months??
|
The idle period was for about one and a half month (Nov-Dec). Last week of December I had done my first paid service immedeately after the idle period (3rd Overall Service, Missed the 3rd free service)
