      Don't mind... but can you explain me what sort of tuning should i do for my engine if i need to go for long drives... Just to protect it from high temperature damages or something similar to it...
      Looks like the idling RPM was set when the engine was cold. Just tune down the RPM to the manual recommended idling RPM after a ride of say 5-6 kms. (By that time your bike would be showing 2.5K RPM as you say). You can do it yourself, or take it to a mechanic with engine on.

        dunno! probably i ride the hunk as it was supposed to...like a street racer! ...

        seriously, i suppose because I accelarate gradually most of the time, and try to maintain constant speeds as far as possible (even if it means riding at 80...)

          Very early morning it won't show any difference( It starts from 1.3 or 1.4k rpm as normal)... but when i go out at say 10am or so under sun for 8-10km then i notice that needle points at 2.5k when i put it to neutral before switching the engine off...

          And once engine is cooled for some 15 to 20 mins it starts back from some 1.8rpm(as the pointer stands some where between 1.5 and 2k) i'm worried coz i don drive above 4500rpm nor i burst open the throttle hard...

            Too lean mixture or improper valve clearances can cause the rpm to "hang".

              What do you mean by "can cause RPM to hang"...
              BTW i thought engine was using rich mixture so the RPM used to go high...
              Could U just tell me how a lean and rich mix effect engine performance of engine...n which mix heats up the engine soon...

              • Hey guys,

                Just checked the HH Hunk website. They have removed the picture of LED tail lights. Maybe it was an error from their side. They got a bit carried away I guess.

                So all recent Hunk buyers, CHILL!!!!

                One more error is that in the 'Price' section the exhaust is placed on the left than on the right. Looks like the page was designed in a hasty manner.

                  The rpm hangs at a certain rpm while coming down from 5k or so rpm while blipping the throttle. It does not come down to idle.

                  In case of a lean mixture, as the throttle closes, the lean mixture gets momentarily enhanced due to scarcity of air (throttle is getting closed) but fuel flows for a while. This keeps rpm inflated for a while. But it is not permanent.

                  Cause of lean mixture - improper tuning, manifold rubber cracks.

                  In cases of improper valve clearances too, it can occur. It is more permanent in nature. (Hence may be this is your prob)

                    Wokay...went there yesterday. The banged up bike has gone

                    Had gone to Pratham for my second service. Asked for the part. The lady will tell me the price when I go today.

                    The service was good, but my taillight is loose...creates a noise whenever i go over a bump!! The supervisor better fix it tomorrow or else!!!

                      Yest took my bike to HH Service station n asked supervisor about the problem.. He said as engine heats up in the day more so it will show you such high rpm after riding... By the way will such high rpm effect my mileage...

                      And will low idling rpm mean engine is taking lean mixture or high mixture...

                      • ^^ So is your rpm hang temporary (last for max 30 sec after bringing throttle to idle) or is it more permanent in nature?

                        If it is temporary, it is due to lean mixture and will affect the engine due to overheating.

                          Thank you mate...
                          Can U clear this doubt m asking just for GK sake... what will happen if you set for rich mixture... will the idling be at low rpm or high rpm...

                            Just the opposite. The rpm will "dip" to a lower than idle value for some time before returning (increasing) back to normal idle rpm. If the "dip" is too much, the engine will stall.

                              • What's the max speed that you guys have done on your extreme ??

                                today i crossed 120 kmph on the airport road (shamshabad airport-near hyderabad) .. it struggled to reach 120 from 110 .. but the thing was i couldn't feel any vibrations .. bike was steady ..no wobbling whatsoever.

                                Only change in the bike is the synthetic oil . Petronas Sprinta 10w40

                                i guess it could've gone till 125 had i pressed hard.
                                guys..if you ever need blood or want to donate blood, please refer to this site :
