It is a DIY. And you don't turn the screw in the carb to idle the engine. That screw is the A/F screw. The bigger golden screw beside it is the idling screw. Just make sure you warm the engine sufficiently before doing it (maybe take a ride for a few kms).

Turn the big golden screw till you reach the optimum rpm (1.4k) and let it stay for sometime. Then switch off the engine. Switch on to check if it is steady at 1.4k (give or take).

He expalined this is due to the oil pressure increase. Dont know, but that guy was a bit techi got hold of the issue very quick. I told him its the suspension and he agreed. He opened and checked the issue got it rectified. Dont know what exactly is the cause
Yes the piston and the adjoining racers/holders could cause the noise if they dont function properly.

Ghosshhhh............anyway i was worried about it not because of the problem but because of the fact that will i be able to find a appropriate person or SVC to resolve it luckily i got one. But what could have caused this issue i dont knwo if anyone knows please post so that steps can be taken to avoid this issue. Also that guy told that nothing to be panic. Is this OK or was it damaging in any sense ?

Also i go my disc damaged it was totally rubbed as my rear disc pad was gone i recognised it too late. I was asked to change the disc as well but i settled down with the pad change for the time being will get it done next mont. Rear disc is roughly around 1200 or so............fatkaa baith gaya baithe bithaaye

Default Need Help.

Dear Friends,

I have some query's, please help me to answer this following.

1: My RTR is just 1 week old. I recently noticed that it is consuming hell of Petrol. I suppose I am getting the average of 28 to 30 KMLP. Is this normal for the new bikes, will it get improved in the first service or some defect in the engine. Please let me know.

2: I recently installed Central locking system from Minda. I noticed that my bikes get switched off in 1 gear in the middle of the road sometimes. Is this something wrong due to that or some other thing ?
Guys i need immediate help from you please. Alternatively i can see my engine is more refined and ready to throttle now.

Thanks in advance,

Shankar

Lightbulb A trip to the Dealer's on Day 2

Got my baby checked at the dealer. It was figured that the chain was rubbing against the chain guard. It was should and will be fixed in da first servicing. The noise has reduced considerably though! So aint complaining!! Thinkin of a 30 - 50 km trip around Navi Mumbai, to take her through the paces... Slow riding most of the way, as I still have to get used to shifting gears!! Jus upgraded from a non geared vehicle to a geared one. But just loving every moment of riding!!!

Mileage is a complicated factor depending in riding style.. however as in general view, new bike, which is yet to have first service can have low figure.. Things should settle down at after 2nd or 3rd service.

Its hard to be sure with after market products.. please do pay a visit to the place where the system has installed, to troubleshot the issue

AFAIK when the chain nears the end of its service life, its get elongated faster. I changed the chain and sprockets at around 18k. Getting them adjusted properly is the only way... with the right tools (namely a #27, #22, #10 spanners) its quite easy to do..

even i have got that problem,to resolve it temporarily just leave the clutch half way in a jerk the way you do while popping a wheelie but only a little enough to make it jurk ahead and then instntly pull back the clutch,it'll come back to its orignal idling.
