      when my bike was being readied by ASC mechanic, it was observed that idling is high. After adjusting the carb for some time, he fianlly opened carb and cleaned it with petrol. This made the idling to 1400

            Hi
            This happened two days ago, at the time I was taking delivery of my bike..when the odo has zero KM on it.
            so far I've clocked 50K..I won't be able to comment on mileage.

                Guys,

                I've not yet received service manual from the dealer. will get it in few days.
                Wanted to know what is the air pressure mentioned in the manual. Dealer told me to maintain 35 at rearand 26 at front.
                I checked the Hero website and it shows 22psi for both tyres.


                can someone let me know what is the recommended air pressure as per the service manual?

                Thanks & Regards
                Vinod

                  Great info but Xtorque claims this as a permanent solution for punctures and guarantee till the life of the tyre.....
                  And also let us know isn't there any solutions to fix punctures in tube tyres??

                  Now that I've my Green Impulse (my first bike), I want to buy some riding gear for myself.


                  One of the reasons I bought Hero Impulse is to go on monsoon rides to western ghats.

                  Can we plan a ride to nearest place in western ghats, from bangalore?

                  Shimoga, agumbe, chikmaglur,ooty, bandipur, coorg, ..or anywhere else ..
                  Vinod, JC road will be daylight robbery if you are bad at bargaining instead check out ebay.in for gloves and other riding accessories. I bought a pair of gloves and riding shoes from ebay.in satisfied with the price and quality but for buying helmet I recommend you to go in person and check the size of helmet.

                  And regarding your plan to visit western ghats let me know when are you planning to visit?? We are a team of 8 members and plan a bike trip atleast once in a year
                  we can discuss further on this through PM

                  Not received the service manual???? Go get it soon as the free service coupons will be attached with SM
                  Regarding the air pressure, Hero recommends 22psi front and 22psi rear (with pillion 28 psi), I keep 24 front and 28 rear

                        In first fill, I got 61KMPL after 1st service when my bike refused to start, ASC mechanic opened carb n then mileage dropped to 46KMPL. Now also I am not confident
                        that it will give me 40+KMPL; will go to ASC again in a day or 2 n will get the carb/AFR tuned through a machine rather than manually.

                        I just wish mileage improves yaar.

                              1. By "Machine" I meant AFR monitor, yaar.


                              2. I think it's a fixture for Camera stand/holder.
