hey,
firstly regarding de-carb,get a compression test done to see if you need a decarb.
please get the chain tightened and lubricated,then ride bike and see if there is still a prob in pickup etc,bec. very often these problems may be chain/sprocket related? Have you ever got your chain cleaned in oil/kerosene ? i guess now is the right time for you to do it. will prolong life of the chain and sprockets.
get front fork oil changed.get the steering races examined. get them polished or replaced if necessary.
Indicative costs will be-
Chain cleaning -Rs 150/-
steering races/cones -Rs 450/-(new)
Fork oil comes to around 150 bucks including new seals plus labour.250-300 bucks in all for front fork job.

Hey Aprandiv,
What do you mean by steering races? Please specify. And regarding the compression test. How is it supposed to be done? Will the Bajaj guys do it for me or is there a way to do it on ur own. Please specify

**arpandiv** · 12-09-2003, 06:05 PM

Steering races are located below the steering stem head bolt/nut,they are in two sets upper bearing race and lower bearing race.both have 23 ball bearings each.and the races itself which are then removed polished/replaced. any PB/good mech. will do this.

Compression test is done using a compression tester,the PB has it they will do it for you. and they wont charge you a paisa. for this.

yes your tappet settings must have gone loose i ve done 18500km on my bike even i got my tappets adjusted around 15000km the knocking may be due loose tappets even i faced the same prob but after i got the tappets set the knocking wasnt there pick up was as before and the engine felt as new !

Thanx for the info guys. Ia m going toget things sorted out tomorrow. All I wanted to ask is whether using the bike in this condition for 2 days would have done any harm? The service station is 10kms from my place, is there any chance of a breakdown.[V] Please reply.

**arpandiv** · 12-09-2003, 09:11 PM

2 days? ofcourse not buddy,you can stil continue using it for next 500km to no probs...BTW which service station u go to?

**rajnish** · 12-10-2003, 09:13 AM

it's a very normal thing to get done,get it on a warm engine.recommended gap will be in the workshop manual.

**arpandiv** · 12-10-2003, 09:16 AM

yeah... compression should be between 6-10kg/cm^2

**koolsun216** · 12-10-2003, 11:42 AM

hey gyes i was getting a zzzzzz sound from my engine (p150) and was told that it is the timing chain so i got it replaced today. at the service station the engine was silent and smothe but on riding back home it again developed the same sound. i was also told it could be from the tappet. pls tell me what the tappet is and how it can be adjusted. thanx gyes
