The Official Kolkata Offline Meet(G2G) Thread

[sujit singh]

Hi friends, atlast after 6 months of viewing threads and forums as a guest i have now joined xbhp yesterday.
The main reason is i have a pulsar 220 which is an year old and has done 4000 kms, yesterday i went for my first paid service. The supervisor (suman of kolkata probike service) asked for any problems, i said that my bike feels a bit rough after 4k rpm and it seems that it dosent likes to cross 6k rpm mark. He said your clutch is burnt, balancer needs loading n all, i was shocked to hear my clutch gone at 4000 kms, but i asked him to atleast see the bike and verify. He started my bike up revved it to its peak and some smoke was seen from the exhaust which i saw for the first time it was minimal, but i dont know why. He smiled and said you see your clutch is burning which is making the mobil to burn hence the smoke, he even said various things like if you dont do it now your engine needs to be opened, the burnt mobil will effect your engine, etc, etc and suggested to get the balancer be done something which will cost rs 1100 along with mobil needed to be replaced. I some how managed to refuse this and did just the normal service.
But i want to know whatever he said is true? and why was smoke seen from exhaust?
Please provide your valuable suggestions friends and thank you all in advance.

Actually when the piston rings gets damaged and there is a smear of mobil getting into the combustion chamber via Head-Cylinder only then the smoke appears.... if there is too much of revving and the bike seems to be struggling on the power band and consequently the speed then definitely there is a clutch problem, get both the Clutch steel plates and the Pressure plates replaced......4000km is not the matter, its only how you ride the machine.... Balancer should be the last thing to be touched only if extremely necessary...

The smoke problem is solved the afr was lean hence slight black was seen at peak revs but now the bike is smooth till 5k rpm bt it struggles to cross the 6k rpm mark strange noise and vibrations are felt when it crosses the 6k mark after it is normal....and about the clutch my bike touches 63 km/h at 4k rpm, and no lack of power or hard gear can be felt...so i assume clutch is fine?
The probike people rode my bike they say maybe my clutch has becum hard??

FEW QUESTIONS:

1) What engine oil do you use?
2) How often do you flush it?
3) How often do you clean the air-filter?
4) How often do you clean and lube your chain?
5) When was the last time you drained the carb?
6) What is the city mileage that you get?

Some more questions are there but that can't be answered like this. Meet me up someday. These SVC people suck out money as much as they can. You need sources there. I was given an estimate of 1200 for my first free service. Thanks to Anurag who was there so it came down to 500 (including engine oil and clutch balancer job. I had issues with my clutch balancer since day one, only that I did not have knowledge then).

Now even my paid service bills come at 300 bucks. So chill. WHere do you stay? Meet me someday. Let me see your ride in flesh.

[Raneet]

G2Gs do happen but they are mostly updated on FB.. There is not really an xbhp kolkata community in reality anymore. This is virtual.
