re: Hero Impulse ownership experience
I agree with you. It shatters confidence to take it to wild though bike is ment for off roading. I also face this stalling and starting issue. Yes they dont treat impulse well in service centers. But still I would say hero servicing is best amongst all brands in india. Though they are not perfect.Originally posted by burnoutdee View Post

I took my bike to Hero service center n asked the technical supervisor that why it was stalling when rode off road, he said that's probably bcos of air in petrol tank since the petrol was juggled inside it. To remedy this issue he advised to keep the tank open for 5-10 mins n then proceed. He confidently said that whoever is facing this issue is only due to the same reason.
He also advised to try the premium petrol rather than common petrol to get more out of the bike n it will also improve the sound of engine. I am planning to upgrade the
air filter to K&N's and MICO's spark plug.
After washing the bike at service center same thing happened, it wasn't starting and this time also spark plug n starter sounded proper. Then again mechanic started the bike on choke like i did yesterday; unfortunately by then the supervisor left n another one said its pretty common after wash or getting wet. Does any one know what's goin on???

Might be an issue with the AFR.

Touches 104 at 8kOriginally posted by Naveen1985 View Postat what rpm level it attains 100...??? and I am sure you must have attained 115 at around 9000rpm which is well above its red line....correct me if I am wrong. one more thing I dont know why its speedo shows red line at 8000rpm whereas other bikes with same engine like hunk, trigger, dazzy, cbz, unicorn etc shows red line at 9000+ rpm....

Never let any mechanic fiddle with carb unless extremely necessary.
&
Never let any1 open the filter or clean it as its an oil based one.

You are right.
I am very particular about this, but the other day due to starting issues after washing those baboons at service center could not figure out what is the problem and to find out the issue those mo-fkrs opened carb n filter too. Now what to do? I'll have to go to them again and get the AFR corrected. But why did stall only while off-roading but not on highway rides?

re: Hero Impulse ownership experience
Sorry for replying so late, you can make your tyres tubeless by just going to a good tyre shop and asking him to make it tubesless, he will just replace the valves with the ones that come with tubeless tyres, remove the tube (make sure you take the tubes from him) and there you go, you just got your tyres converted in tubeless. However, tube tyres n tubeless ones have their own advantages n disadvantages.Originally posted by dragon_rider View Post[MENTION=53278]viks[/MENTION] can u help me out here...
Is there tubless available for Impulse???
If not can we use some liquids inside the tube to resist the puncher?
IF not anything else???
Tube tyres dont leak air if the rims get bent, but tubeless do.
Tubeless tyres can go upto 2-3 hours even after a puncture n easy to repair if u have a kit, tube tyres are a pain to repair on impulse as it includes removing wheel, if rear wheel, then you have to remove the chain, n pulling the wheel out from it is a task.
I would definitely advise to get your tyres converted to tubeless, the valves cost rs. 150 each but you can trade your tubes for them. But if you already have had punctures, u need to repair them as the tyre may still have that hole in it.
Hope that answers your query.

re: Hero Impulse ownership experience
As per my off roading habits, there is some sudden throttle required during off roading, in other words, you push your bike in offroading, whereas on the highway, your on steady rpmOriginally posted by burnoutdee View PostYou are right.

Btw, which service centre do you visit?

re: Hero Impulse ownership experience
Its good but if there are cross winds, your bike may change lanes. On the NH4 (Mumbai-Pune), at 113, i felt as if the bike may take off like a jet in the sky. Fortunately it did not.Originally posted by Timbucked2 View PostHow is the Stability at that speed of 113 kmph ?

re: Hero Impulse ownership experience
Yes it is, the AFR comes into picture highly when there is some lower and mid range torque required. Thats also a reason why the non fuel injected bikes get extremely less power in ladakh trips due to thin air hampering AFR.Originally posted by burnoutdee View PostLogical explanation that is.

No hard feelings bro (just as my own sugession) i think silver reflective stickers would look better on rims.
