Guys anyone having trouble opening xbhp ? cause for the past few days i am not able to access this page no matter how many times i refresh or how many hours i wait....all other sites open instantly.....it opens only by luck even though i have a fast optic fiber connection .

yes.. Me too. I log in, start surfing/posting, then suddenly *error*can not found page*check connection/URL/modem etc.. . I also tried, tappet adjustment by keeping the index mark with T,nothing happened. Everything was as it is

Right .
As far as I understand , this alters the firing timing of the engine's CDI ignition system . There is this small permanent magnet affixed to the magneto rotor and a pickup coil is affixed next to the rotor . Everytime this magnet passes the pickup coil ( as the rotor spins ) .. it generates a small current in the pickup coil by electromagnetic induction . The pickup coil is connected to the CDI which senses this small current and fires the plug . So by setting the magneto rotor's position ( alignment of the line adjacent to T with the line on the engine case ) the CDI's plug firing timing is altered . By altering this you are varying the factory recomended (and set) timing a little bit - either advancing or retarding it (not sure - gotta ask others) . The factory setting is to fire the plug as near to the TDC of the compression stroke as they could adjust (i.e at maximum compression of the mixture) . This has nothing to do with tappet clearances - when the plug fires near the maximum compression of mixture (and piston at/nearest TDC) - both the valves are fully shut (closed) .
It was a well known fact that under conditions that are not ideal (adultrated or low octane fuel for example) ... varying the timing can compensate and increase performance . Timing was a vital adjustment(left to expert mechanics) when we were still using the "points" (contact breaker) ignitions on bullets . Nowadays , with CDI and later ignitions , we don't even bother about ignition and timing .
Anyway , I completely believe that what you felt after that change, was real and reasonable .

Yeah , right ... then it's minor tappet noise indeed . Nothing to worry about . Really serious tappet noise is loud hammering - something other bikers will also notice .

If adjusting tappets dont solve clatter, then its either a worn cam or worn rocker arms.

@sibun, I tested with another Hunk which had clocked 32000 kms. This bike had great pickup than mine and easily climbs the RPM meter. One outright difference was the engine DIDN'T felt STRAINED at ALL @ 75 Kmph and mine with new & bigger front sprocket feels a bit strain @ 60 Kmph. Since that bike's owner had already met with 2 accident , the handling was letdown and didn't inspire confidence else I would've tested the top speed too. Then, I took my bike and checked the free play of both wheels and its good. I've already discussed it in Service Center but they avoid it by saying that your engine is good, nothing wrong's with it after riding hardly 1km @ 40 Kmph speed . He has also checked the Spark plug to see whether its running Lean, and he said it's ok. I've already clocked 8200 Kms and have ridden above 90 Kmph for 50 Kms, still it feels like engine is underpowered and doesn't like to be ridden in speed.

My friends are struggling to get the parts for their RX.. I dont want to face the same fate buying Xtreme.

Please throw some light on this.. it would be a great help.

I am going to book Xtreme this weekend and while going through the thread I came across the above information.
Now I am confused whether to go for it as there can be demand of the spares after 2014 or required parts may not be available in the market for Xtreme anymore.
