something in the engine. there is no answer when i asked him why he remover the clutch
assy.

2. when he checked for the CO, (because i am thinking that the bike is running very lean. i
felt like that) it showed 4.50

so as said here, i asked him to set it to 2.50,
even leaner by 2.0

?? and i still feel that the bike is running lean. its actually
struggling to pick up speed especially during rollons. definitely the acceleration has gone
down.

can somebody shed some light on this?

the casing on the left side was removed for me during 3rd free service... he rectified something inthe so called magneto coil, lubed some parts and put back the cover...

do u have enough tyre treads, are the worn out in the middle? or are they fine ? coz everyone knows there wont be traction on a worn out tire(or a tire thats yet to be worn out) ....normally during a really really quick start, i still end up spinning the rear tire which struggles to grasp any grip with the immense acceleration...

like someone said in the earlier threads, a similar prob arose when some had their clutch slipping... chain slack adjusted ? well lubed ?

lastly get ur throttle body and injectors cleaned like rahul said.. might help..

let us know how things go...

I remember reading somewhere that the RVMs of fazer are a direct fit for 220. can someone please confirm?

Hey,
Check your spark plugs for the state of tune. Guessing never worked for me. Believe it or not my bike pulls really good even with a terribly lean mixture & no its not psychological.
I guess u must have changed the fuel filter. Also get throttle body & injector cleaned. This may improve things.

@rahul9985.. my bike is 5500 km old, ok, the bike may pull really good even with a terribly lean mixture. but there is a danger lurking......running with lean mixture will definitely lead to engine damage like breakage of crank, bent valves & damage to cylinder and piston that's what i am concerned about.

@vid_powerstroke...the problem i'm experiencing is like when we adjust a carbed (2 stroke)bike's AFR to very lean settings, it'll behave normally before entering its powerband. as soon as it enters the powerband, the rush of power wouldn't be there due to lean AFR settings. its just like that. Air filter cleaned, chain lubed & adjusted for slack. so i suspect that the CO settings were screwed up because it showed >4.50 in the 3rd service, the mech adjusted it to 2.50. still no change except a louder in-take roar while accelerating hard. but i didnt encounter any over heating probs when i did a non-stop 200+ KM run after 3rd service.

I understand buddy.. now dont worry about the lean mixture. but get it corrected.... i suggest one last thing...
get ur fuel injectors cleaned for any clog..i suspect some clog in it ..leading to reduced spray to aid performance and fuel flow at higher powerband. get the CO tuning fixed...

Don't know about the fazer ones...but the rvm of the r15 were fitted on the pulsar 220 with minor adjustments.....

Rescently changed my bikes cone set now the handling is much better but now iam facing a strange problem when ever my bike runs on the bad road iam hearing a strange sound like TIK TIK

iam unable to find from were the sound is coming but the sound is not like the sound that comes when d coneset is damaged i think the sound is coming from the forks not sure about it.

my bike has completed 10k kms

is this problem related to fork oil??

is this the strange sound when ur fork compresses ? on ur fork's, check if there is a film of oily substance found on it. if so ur oil seal would be broken.. get ur fork tightened once again.....

Bro the sound comes only while driving on bad roads&speed breakers

when d bike is in stationery i compressed the fork many times but i didnt heard that TIK TIK sound

is it compulsary to change fork oil at 10k kms???

no buddy .. but if required , they may change..or u may too.. get ur forks and clip on's tightened once again.check for anything lose on the whole front part of the bike.. disc assembly. axle. nuts. bearings...
