1.I noticed that spark from one of the plug cover was not normal at all....It used to produce spark once a while in 5 sec or so...which I thought was the cause of missing.I decided to replace both ignition coils,and decided to play around with the electricals this time.Since charging current was Ok,I decided to skip replacing the armature coil(which the SVC guys were pushing for)...I bought 2 ignition coils(total damage Rs 300[mrp Rs 370]),and came home,had decided to do a DIY job,along with my friend,who proves as a great aid for such jobs.i also replaced the spark plugs with NGK Iridium ones,and when I started the bike,no fuss,no miss whatsoever!!!Mission 1 accomplished!!
2.I was also unable to raise the idle rpm,which some of you may remember.I also had a very non linear acceleration issue,which thanks to dear xbhpian Ateesh aka Honda_CBF,got sorted out by almost 80%,but still,it had scope for 20% improvement.Now my friend has good contacts in Bajaj Auto and thus every body at service seems to respect him,He got a new Carb for me,at the condition that we'll return it if it doesn't show any improvement.When we installed the carb,tuned it and took it out for a ride,oh man....the bike had completely transformed!!!Throttle response was superb,coupled with flawlessly linear acceleration...The bike now grunts,grunts with anger and pickup was such that for the first time,I felt like I was going to fall...I just cant explain the feeling!!No startup issues,nothing+added to great accn and drive.I was immediately sold on the new carb...but where was the money...I immediately cancelled a COD order of Galaxy S3 from flipkart....and voila...cash was arranged....!!Now the interesting part,MRP printed on Carb's box was Rs 1557...but my friend got it for Rs 1200 Rupees,as that was the price the dealerships get the carb from the manufacturer..So total damages at the end of the day-Rs 1500...But hey,I'm not complaining...All I wish to see is that how the bike starts from cold tomorrow morning...If Its Ok,then I'll be the happiest person on earth,with a Galaxy S2,of course!!!

Honda_CBF---You are most welcome to Ranchi to have a ride on my bike!!!


don't have any plan for ranchi now, but we'll meet soon, as a proper g2g!
