    ^^ What made you think that this is the proper thread to ask these questions? Please ask them in the modification or P135 ownership thread.

      Guys,

      I have a small question,

      Is Throttle Free Play in the Accelerator really required???

      If required then what is the advisable length?? I own an R15.

        Yes its needed. Else when the handlebar is turned the either side to the extreme, the throttle may get raised by a small bit, if there is no play.

        Around 2cm is good enough.

          ^^ don't u think 2 cm throttle freeplay is a bit too much, i keep it at 0.5 cm.

            From the R15 manual -

              I think princesirohi is correct, the manual says 3 to 5mm which is 0.5cm.

              currently the the free play is about 1.5 to 2 cm which is quite uncomfortable to use the throttle.

              what do you suggest???

                ^^ Yeah, he is correct, that's why I posted that screenshot.

                .5 should be ok. This means I have to check mine!

                  I tried removing the Throttle free play totally, just to see how it feels, Man its really amazing and gives a virtual thought that the bike revs more faster than before.

                  Later set it to 0.5CM

                    It will feel so until your hand gets adjusted I guess!

                      Working of a four stroke engine

                      Here are few videos which made me understand the basic concept of a four stroke engine.

                          It's self explanatory. Its the steepness of the climbing angle you can ride uphill, with these bikes. In other words, Pulsar 220 can climb higher and steeper slopes than Discover.

                          Apart from the engine torque, I think its more about the grip levels of these bikes' stock tyres.

                              Okay, if the degrees represent the climbing angle.
                              Then what does the percentage represent ?

                                Refers to horizontal.
                                The percentage is how many percent of the distance traveled horizontally you go up (or down!).
                                For example, if you travel one meter (=100cm) horizontally while going up 25cm. you will have gone up a 25% slope, and the angle of that slope is 14 deg.
                                If you travel one meter horizontally while going up one meter (difficult!), you will have gone up a 100% slope. The angle of that slope would be 45 deg.
