    For sure man , today was just a trial run , I had a slight mis-alignment in the rear wheel as I had to adjust it to set the chain slack correctly ... Okay well not slight , it was about a centi-metre off ... since I did the whole thing myself . Didn't have the time or energy to rectify that yesterday itself ... so took it easy on the bike ... will have to test it out for top whack ... but the signs so far are encouraging ...

    mine does 55@4k and 70@ 5k rpm in stock conditions

    do try out the top whack
    Yeah buddy , cruised at 3.5k to 4.5k RPM which translates to about 50-65kmph throughout ... felt amazing to cruise like that , 3.5k - 50kmph ... was nice .

          2 things i noted recently on my bike.

          while going through a particular area i heard some low whistling kinda noise. (kinda like woowoowoowoowoowoo but sounded like something is rubbing over something). for 3-4 days i heard the same noise from the same place and thought it must be some industry/machine/mill at that place. Today i heard the noise again from another place and this time it felt like it was from my bike. My initial suspect was the helmet. After lots of careful listening and repeated attempts (without the helmet) i concluded that the noise is coming when i let go off the throttle in 4th or 5th gear and the rpm drops to below 4k (only in 3.5-4k range). But then i thought about the initial place where i repeatedly kept hearing the noise. It was kinda deserted road (rarely any vehicles) and there is a corner where i slow down. I guess i wasn't hearing the noise at other places because of the noise from other vehicles and the helmet are too powerful to nullify the noise. Anyways, i've no idea where the noise is coming from. where could it be? what should i do ?

          there is this somewhat steep slope which i travel by daily. while going down, i usually go slow with 0 throttle and hand always on the brakes so that the vehicles coming upwards from the other side may maintain their speed (narrow road, no dividers). today it was empty and so i upped the throttle and the speed went up to 70 in no time. then i let go off the throttle and the speed dropped to 60. had to be engine brake and so i pulled the clutch. the engine revving sound was gone, but speed kept dropping, to around 50. is this normal ? do the fat tyres bring about this much friction ? or has the whistling noise got something to do with this ?
          That sound might be the rear brake,bcoz sometimes dirt goes in the rear brake pad & clogs it to the wall of the wheel..so the sound.& about the speed decrease with clutch engaged is normal becoz Fz tire creates more friction on the road than any other ongoing road bike made in india.this speed decreases more when there is less air pressure in rear.Dont worry about that,its fine.

          • clunky gear shift

            Hi folks,
            i thought tat my gear shifts were smooth. Rode my friends fz the other day and man my gear shifts feel like rock. I went to my local mech, and he told me about some spring tat might have conked off. plss help me folks, this is getting annoying by the day.

            Awaiting your reply at the earliest.

              thought about the dirt factor, but the sound comes only in that rpm bracket (around 3.5-4k). moreover i rarely use the rear brake.

                how much did the front sprocket cost?

                    Hm.. I doubt. The drag coefficient may be higher than other bikes, but can never be so high as it causes speed to drop even on a steep slope, with clutch engaged. Anyway, I may be wrong. Need expert intervention here.

                    So, that means the initial pull has taken a beating, but has it complemented the higher revv region..? If yes, this set up would be great for highway dwellers.

                          you see the tooth thingy in the rear wheel right? there is a similar thing in the front portion of the chain as well which is hooked up to your transmission system that is known as a front sprocket....
                          it wont harm the bike...

                                hi,

                                how old is your bike. Has it done the 1st servicing yet?? If not i suggest finish off your 1k and the 1st service and then have a feel of your bike's gear and engine. When it is new you will find it bit ruff as the parts are still setting in. I had a round of false gears as i was nearing 1k, but after the 1st servicing, the bike was butter smooth.

                                Hope this helps

                                cheers mate
