@sarbanoxley
1)Valve

2)Clutch plates

3) Bore (piston rings something like that they say)

Clutch plates for loss of compression?AFAIK they are not responsible.
Push starting the bike may cause damage to clutch plates.
I have this same problem with discover135 and all it took was adjusting valve seating and it was running fine.This i think is a common problem as i saw couple of bikes with same problem in SC which have done>25000km.

My guess is that the decompressor is getting stuck leading to the valves remaining open and hence loss of compression.So far all those who reported this problem in ZMA have not had any serious engine problem and are still using the bike for more than 5 K Kms...including me.
Sir, was your experience in any way similar to the one shown in this video??? i.e few loose kicks(without compression) and then bike's at TDC and gains compression.

Default Engine oil

Those who want to stick with 10w30 oil,can very well go for shell AX5 10W30.I'm currently using it in my 3k old xtreme.Better alternate for oem oil.costs 240 for 900ml

I have been riding the bike by push starting it but keeping the revs below 5K mark - called this HH SC and the supervisor is saying dont ride the bike as the engine will seize.... is this true guys ?

pickup is also down .

all the SC i phoned are saying only 3 things cause the loss in compression

1)Valve

2)Clutch plates

3) Bore (piston rings something like that they say)

am i looking at a HUGE bill here guys
Valves are the real culprits for your problem. once the valves are done then your performance and mileage both will increase. Clutch plates are in no way responsible for lack of compression. If clutch plates are gone kick will slip but in no way will it lose compression. If the engine is not smoking then no way bore- piston. When they open the head look at the bore by slightly lowering the piston and see the upper groove made by the piston. if it is quite deep then bore has worn out or if the groove is light then there is nothing to worry.
Usually hero honda bore last for nearly 1 lac km without any problem. And while the head is opened look at the face of exhaust valve. If it is brick red in color then your air-fuel ratio is correct and if it is black then you are running rich.
And please get the work done otherwise your mechanic is right you could land with a seize bore.

If you would have anywhere nearby then i could have helped you by taking you to my mechanic. He is a genius with more than 20 years experience and is very honest also.

As per the company’s policy, any part can be changed under warranty at any authorized dealer of that bike in India if it has the engine and frame numbers as the case of servicing because the dealer isn’t facing any financial loss here. Every expense including the courier charges are met by the concerned company.
Ask them to either replace the shock absorber free of cost or give the reason of refusal in writing.

Ok this is what happening to me.....I rode like 82 kms after hitting reserve and when i shake the tank i can still hear the petrol sound but didnt take any risk and went to petrol bunk and got 150 rs petrol which is 2 ltr approx Now i put the bike in ON mode and it gave me like 24 kms and the bike went to reserve and then again i rode till like 72 kms and did the same thing BUT THIS time the just after 3 kms the bike ran out of petrol in ON mode and yesterday i ran again till 80 and did the same and it ran out of petrol in ON mode just after 1 km......

Hi guys ! Has anyone tried meddling with their Xtreme's looks? My friend has a 2009 model and he's been asking me to search for a new fairing , I took special interest since I might do the same a couple of years down the line

So , here are my basic questions :-
1. Will an R15 fairing be a direct fit on the xtreme ? or should the tank and the fairing be welded together ?

2. I saw an xtreme with an ZMR fairing , It looked quite stunning , I'd like to know more if anybody knows about this !?
