Not really. But you can try playing with the AFR screw if it helps (rotate by 1/4 of a turn).
Clockwise - Lean Mixture
Anti-clockwise - Rich Mixture

BTW you can simply remove the spark plug. It is pretty easy. The tool kit has the spanner for opening the spark plug.

TVS tyres are a problem. Go easy on the brakes (don't simply grab it). Apply pressure slowly and the slipping will reduce greatly.
The bike should be pretty stable at 100kph. Check the tyres - maybe it needs to be balanced or aligned.

True... before installing the K&N also, i could rev all the way.... But augmenting the air flow with K&N tipped off that balance. Now upjetting has brought it back in balance...

i too faced the same problem long time back. it is just a matter of dirty or clogged carburetor. get it cleaned and your problem will be solved.

Finally got my brakes fixed. No more squealing

Had my air filter cleaned and changed oil to semi-synthetic (Castrol Power 1). Not much change but feels a little smoother.

Hi Guys i have completed 14500KM on my angle (white RTR 180). i went to my native place last time it was 190Km from chennai, the thing is i hear a lot of tapping noise in engine, after returning to chennai and its getting more and more now a days, yesterday i gave it to service SVG guy said he had reduced the noise but i feel still noise has not yet arrested, so guys help me to arrest this noise permanently it's a weird noise which i hate to hear.

In Highway my driving i was in constant speed above 100Km/Hr. Is that could be reason for tapping noise.????

can any one tell y the noise is more wn i accelerate.?

Any solution to solve it.

Thanks in advance.

Ragha
