Lately have been facing this issue.
Bike stalls and refuses to start randomly. Not like post warm up or so. Randomly.
Self start works perfect but the bike refuses to start (ie.no power up)
Whilst this radiator fan kicks in and runs constantly until I turn off the key (regardless of engine temperature).
Any leads will be helpful.
If anyone faced this issue please quote this post and describe how you got it fixed.
Thanks and regards
Manoj Sivaraman
Can you be a bit more specific. The bike stalls intermittently only when the radiator fan kicks in or irrespective of whether the radiator fan kicks in or not, the bike stalls randomly?
That one circled in yellow is the T stem adjustment nut. Loosening it makes the handlebar free, loose it too much and you start hearing khat khat type sounds going over speed breaker or during braking, so hopefully it's all fine.

That explains why it started in the first place , my 2nd last service had introduced that vibration while braking, and last service tightened it too much.
He loosened red one, rotated yellow anti clockwise.c and tightened the red one again.
Not very familiar with part names.

No need to look into archives, you can either get MRF REVZ S for the rear or MRF messeter, both are really good tyres, they are the stock tyres on r15 v2 and v3 so they are meant for proper grip. The messeter is one size up than the stock, but it's a good tyre.
For the front get the stock tyre which comes on r15 v3, i think the name is zapper fy1, but the showroom people will understand when you'll mention the bike as well.
Hi Folks,
Had some time to debug the tachometer issue which I previously posted.
The culprit was the ignition coil (primary one, single output)
The previous owner had installed some other model coil or a counterfeit one.
Cleaned all connectors and bung terminals coated them with WD-40.
Did a whole wiring overhaul costed me as follows:
HT coil - 194/-
Zip ties - 60/-
Insulation tape - 30/-
Wire sleeve or jacket - 50/- (various sizes)
WD-40 - 90/-
Lot of patience...
It all started from diagnosis where my handy DMM helped me.
Where i checked Crank position sensor aka pulse coil.
Stator coil was also checked.
RR unit and battery health was also noted.
Also got some leads from a Service technician regarding key areas to check.
Tracked down the wires replaced them with same gauge automotive grade wires.
Since it is a pre owned vehicle I did the above said checkups.
This gave me a peace of mind as I got to know what's gone wrong and where.
Also other updates include:
Coolant reservoir tank replaced due to the plastic got brittle and foggy level indicator.
Also installed Minda K95 horns with separate wiring harness.
Both brakes got a minor overhaul (fluid flush and bleeding).
Front pads replaced and rear one got cleaned.
Lever feels much more responsive now.
Cone Set is yet to be replaced will soon post a DIY guide.
Wheel bearings and seals including. (Will do as I replace the tyres)
I just wanna register this update here, NS owners too face the same issue as well. Someone in the future will find this helpful.
Totally agree! Will get it repaired tomorrow. For tyres, I guess I will go through the archive here, had read quite many conversations around that.
Thanks guys !

Handles feels so light after getting it fixed. The same mechanic who told me about coneset being the problem re assessed the handle and just did a few adjustments and tightened it again.
Did you replace the bearings or readjusted the T stem?

As other bhpian said, it's more "importantier" than running the risk of jamming your handlebars at the wrong time and end up in hospital, and the same goes for your tires. Take heed of the tread on your tire too.

How long can I keep riding it in this condition? Will it damage the bike ?
