    It's not the clutch, there's no slip, it's the vacuum piston itself, I've removed and inspected it, the rubber diaphragm is damaged.

    If engine not revving above 5k RPM in neutral , then do check your air-filter. Most probably air intake is clogged.
    The engine revs freely in neutral, it struggles only under load, I've checked the vacuum piston, the rubber diaphragm is damaged.

      Why don't you try to get hold of used carb itself? Probably from a crashed bike

            Impulse rims are spokes, therefore it is not possible with these rims to have tubeless tyres. I know that BMW tourers have spokes and tubeless tyres, but Hero is a little behind BMW in this aspect.

                But it was an awesome experience. Saw a monitor lizard and met with major dp Singh (blade runner) on my way back who was there for his red bull photo shoot

                  Hi guys, I visited hero showroom, Sai motors in Bangalore, enquiring availability of Impulse. The sales man enquired with his manager and told there is not a single Impulse available from showrooms in Bangalore. He also told there'll be new Impulse launched soon and he added there might be change in capacity and cosmetics. But I think it'll be only a cosmetic upgrade as per the agreement between Honda and Hero (this info was posted in this thread). I hope we don't have to worry about spares if Hero relaunches Impulse. Just keeping my fingers crossed.

                            I checked with rishi motors, regarding the hero impulse. He said its not available and he went ahead and told its not available in entire Karnataka
                            He also told a new impulse might be launched soo n.

                                Changed engine oil in my impulse. Here in mira road, Mumbai no one keeps motul 10w30 grade. Even gulf is difficult to find in 10w30 grade. Only honda and veedol available. Local mechanics will suggest to put any oil without giving any thought to the recommended grade. They only want to sell whatever they have on shelf. My bike had already done 2000 kms on hero oil so could not wait more. Went ahead with veedol thinking that honda and veedol are same as manufactured by tide water oil company and the cost is also exactly same. I poured 1L oil. After 300 kms run, in my observation engine is heating up more then before and gear shifts are not smooth any more. I used honda oil before and never faced such engine heating and rough gear shifts. Is it because I put 1L and not 1.2L? I always used to put more then 1L every time. I think I'll change oil again after few hundred kms and will make sure I buy motul in advance either online or from outside mira road.
