yours too ?I know how that feels can you tell me the following :

1) how many kms your bike has done til now ?

2)what engine oil you use and the grade 40 or 30 ?

3) have you exp. tappet problem in your ride ?

4)what interval you change the engine oil ?

5) valve reseat ?

I read sinbn's post today ...in it he mentions if you use thinner oil like 10W30 you will get more milage ....i am using 20W40 only may be i will get more than 42Kms/lt if i change to that thinner grade oil I will change to 10W 30 next time and check it .

Today got my bike new set of shoes -Michelin SIRAC street both front and rear....amazing grip with this kinda grip i am afraid its not gonna last more than 10K-15K.... but cost me Rs 3775 for both the wheels .

Also zapper Q 100/90-18 available in kanchipuram town for Rs 2370 and why is this MRF tyre costing more than michelin ? is it that good ?

Thanks Sibun/Satson. So, next time I will ask SVC to set it back to normal state with tightening the cone set and not to provide this vertical play.
Other thing is, now i have reached 1500kms and feel engine is rough. It may be due to engine oil. I had first service done at 500kms. Do i need to change the oil now or just top up?
The SVC guys just refused to put outside oil which is 20W40. They said warranty will be lost. Whats your suggestions? Should I get it changed from other mechanic?
Does 20W40 oil provide some smoothness in the ride?
Any solution for handle bar vibrations around 4000 rpm? Vibration is not too much, but feels like a resonance fork.

Your bikes oil ring have gone so it is consuming oil. Your bike is pulling like crazy because the compression rings are all right. There is no need to change bore kit. Just open the bore and piston. Clean the bore and piston with petrol or carburettor cleaner and remove all carbon on piston. Buy a new standard size ring and fit. Your oil consumption will stop.
This is the problem with all new generation bikes. In order to keep friction low and prevent from seizing during run-in companies give softer rings which loose their sealing ability after 30-40k. In my joy the company had recommended a run-in as:-
1st gear not more than 15 kph
2nd gear not more than 30 kph
3rd gear not more than 45 kph
4th gear not more than 60 kph
This was for 1000 km.
But in my fathers splendor+(2010) and in my extreme(2011) nothing has been mentioned only it has been mentioned to avoid full throttle operation for first 500 km. This has been possible because of softer rings which are useless. In all my bikes i follow joy running-in method. I will post both the manuals running-in photo to show the difference.

If you have not change the air filter change it now. Also clean the carburettor and retune as i have posted. Check the tappets. Buy a feeler gauge set and use it. Also check whether valves are leaking.
See my post above. your solution is same.
Hero honda oil is useless after 1000 km. In new engines oil get damaged quickly. Also do not use 20W 40 oil. Instead go for good quality 10W 30 from veedol, motul or shell. Your engine will freely rev and become smooth after 5000 km. It is traditional that hero honda engines take longer for getting free.
Your vibration will decrease with time. Do not let svc touch carb.

First of all, I am the second owner to my Hunk and when I got it, it was around 20k and now24k. But not sure if it has done more than that. But seeing the front tyre, it shouldn't have done much more than that(or is it the second front tyre of my bike)

Please find the replies above in bold...

Hey dont keep on checking the mileage, it'll not return the same each time, especially if your ride contains mixed conditions. I had got fed up checking my Splendor's mileage each time during my college days, it used to jump between 55 to 60.
But I know if sowly it have become a habit for you(like what happened to me) you will surely reset the trip meter each time your bike hits reserve

And how do you clean your air filter, do you have a blower? Last time I simply took it out, tapped it and put it in as I didnt have blower/vaccum cleaner.

I think i got least mileage ever here..., I dont what happened, I filled of rs. 500 normal patrol (At that time petrol was at arounf 73/liter here in Delhi) so around 6.5 Liter total, Usually it runs almost 270-300KM in 6.5 liter, But this she given me the mileage of 31KMPL, Even I was not driven on red lines.

Generally I dont much care about mileage, But this time toh had ho gayi...., I think Petrol pump wale had done something...cant believe my hunk can do this to me...

Try to shift @ RPM of 4-6K.maintain proper tyre pressure in both tyres.Also check for loosening of CHAIN.Check and clean sparkplug.if everythng see,s proper try running little lean

My ride is 12K old.should i change my airfilter now?.svc guys dont seems to clean it in free service as its dirty and i dnt have blower to clean it. Moreover my engine is making bit more noise than before.can it be valve/tappet noise or its normal noise.old cbz's seems way silent nd smooth when compared

Very informative post ....so all i have to do is get a new piston ring installed right ? and what is this standard size piston rings ? can i just go to the SC spare section and ask them to give piston rings for the Xtreme ?thanks .

I would strongly suggest you to dump that HH crap oil and get a motul mineral oil of the same grade or get the veedol/shell like sinbn said .Also change the oil every 2K(i do it every 1K) dont top up and ride it like you are doing it now .

If you can just install SIRAC street and you will feel the diff. - i dont know how i managed driving all these years with the stock front tyres .

Yes do change the air filter ....dont let anyone touch the tappet without the feeler gauge ....what engine oil you use ?

Yes, even I used to change my Splendor's oil at 2k(which has run 1.1 lakh) and wanted to change oil in that interval for my Hunk as well, but the oil drinking habit stops me from doing a full oil change, as the new oil will be burned in no time

This issue is actually bringing shame to me, as the bike smokes like an M80 on coming to a stop at signals after riding for sometime. People are watching me like "Hey see the smoke from this Hunk man, his engine is in trouble", so suddenly I'd switch off the bike.

Changed the air filter today. Engine feels much relieved. Will do the carb tuning tomorrow.
I dont get any loose tappet sound as of now. Guess its fine.
How do I if the valves are leaking..?

It has already got into my bones.
Never fails to set the trip meter.
And regarding AF, thats exactly what I used to do. But it isn't much effective.

Are you sure about the bold part..?
Coz in my bike, 5500 = 70 kmph and 6000 = 75 kmph

HI Sarbanoxley, What's the top speed of your bike ? my bike clocked 1800 kms till now and I recently took my bike to top speed. My bike managed 101 km/hour speed only on full throttle. Is this normal or the top end will improve after 2nd / 3rd service ? or, is there something i need to be worried about ?

So the old one is of no use now ? cant it be cleaned and dried for further use ?? approx cost ?
