Hope to see the the third Golden Jubilee.

    Nope not spending a single buck more on enhancements. Will run it as it is till it runs. I keep it cheap wherever it's needed.

    Cone set- fed up with the garbage bearings. Ate another set.

    Overall-One of the best investments I ever made.

    Update on my bike.
    Kms covered 145000 excluding first meter reading.
    Engine -stock
    Chain-changed to rolon and the chain is surprisingly good and sturdy.
    Cone set- fed up with the garbage bearings. Ate another set.
    Tyres- bald
    Electricals- developed a mind of their own..wiring has too many cracks..have ordered a wiring set.
    Compression and oil consumption is fair enough.

    Oil- Rimula R4. The oil is awesome till 1500 kms post which it's desperate. Suit me fine at its cheap.

    Parts to be changed soon
    Clutch housing
    Spark plug
    Radiator
    Wiring harness
    Tyres
    Cone set
    Rear panels

    Overall-One of the best investments I ever made.

    CHEERS

    When you hit the limiter spark gets cut off and the un-burnt fuel detonates outside the cylinder and hence you get some smoke.

    Dont know the exact figures but still at least 100 ml at 1000 kms on harsh riding means always revving it near to redline and also sometimes hit the rev limiter.
    It's normal. Nothing out of ordinary

    Rest i have done 200km ride on it nonstop without any problems no white smoke or drop in performance or whatsoever.
    Black smoke when revving the nuts of the the motor is normal, a whiff of black smoke is normal when revved excessively. What one shouldn't see is the white smoke eitherways which would mean, we have a leaky piston/ring set and that's required to be replaced. Most manuals say bikes consume 100 ML/per 1000 kays which again is also normal. I don't think your bike has any issue, for the most part.

    Yes, daily it is taking long crank then starts after coughing like starting after 10days or more, this happens in daily morning, and frequently when starting at office parking lot in the evening, so I thought trying to test the resistance (Google helped), after ruling out Injector Clogging-Spark Plug-Battery Voltage-Fuel Pump etc.
    And, after removing, I sprayed very less amount of diesel (no other option available today at home), and cleaned the terminals & installed it, Bike started without delayed cranking, like "Fine", if tomorrow same drama happens, I have to replace it because, 2.8ohms is slightly more than 2.64ohms (upper limit) & 16.16 kilo ohms is also more than 12.96 kilo ohms (upper limit).
    Thanks again [MENTION=39214]B7ACKTHORN[/MENTION]

    This is what your Ohm values should look like, according to the manual. Too high or too low, it's time to replace.

    I'll change my tyre asap as i think they've lost all the grip. Images attached for your reference(not sure why i took only rear tyre pic).
    The tire looks like it still has some life left, but if you don't feel confident riding on those, better replace them and have peace of mind.

    Usually a R15 tire lasts anywhere between 25-30 k kms, depending on how you ride. I ride mine like a grandma and have done nearly 30k kms on stock tires and they still give me the grip I need, even on good speeds. So i'll keep riding them for a little more time before I finally replace them. Its all up to you and your requirements.

    Looks like you still have life left in it. Some more treads left in the tyre.

    But if you feel you're losing grip, either your tyre is old or you just have that thing in mind that you're losing grip. In both cases, it is better and safe to replace the tyre with a new one.

    IMO, 23k kms is a good number and mine lasted for 24k kms. Safe to replace it by this time.

    And yes, stock tyres are the best, IMO. I personally haven't tried any other. I'm currently running my 3rd set rear and 2nd set front.
