    I don't know how to put it across. But the difference was felt when I switched to Motocool.
    Inugel, I think is more concentrated than Motocool and is better for engines of higher cc.

    Also, does any body have an issue where the sufficient fuel does not reach the engine when the fuel in the tank drops below a certain level. I mean, like, when the fuel goes below half tank level, sufficient fuel does not reach the engine.

        I am facing a certain issue which I think is due to the tuning being off however was wanting to find out if I am right in thinking so.

        The lower revs of the bike do not seem punchy. It seems as if the bike is underpowered till about 4000 revs. However it just takes off post about 4000 4500 revs. I had checked my spark plugs and they seem to have an oilish brownish coat which maybe be hinting towards the fact that I may be running richer than I should be. Plus I am regularly tracking my fuel consumption - the regular mileage being 32 - 35. However the latest tank up gave an average of 29.5. Surprisingly, this was after riding at comparatively sane speeds than the speeds I would normally do. This just strengthens my thinking that at lower rpms maybe more fuel is being pumped into the carb than normal. I would be taking it for a retuning via CO however was wanting to hear your opinions too.

        I pray to God I walk away...
        I walk away to ride another day

          I didn't feel it easy when I watched that doing by some shop guy for my motorbike. Most importantly you may need to grind the mount(it depends) as well as need a hot air gun to melt the glue and then to fix it again, otherwise you cannot remove it. I'd advice you to do it a reputed or a good shop and don't bother throwing 300-400 for that. End of the day, you need a good undamaged and good looking unit.

          Well as far as I can imagine, a poor quality coolant shall not cool down the engine well, resulting in engine overheat first and then affecting performance. But does it have any relation to riding smoothness?. Next, in such cases, it should've triggered the alarm. Motocool is recommended by Bajaj I think.

            Bajaj recommends Motocool. Inugel is not of poor or inferior quality. Both Inugel and Motocool are made by Motul. It's not suitable for NS is what I think.

              An oil-fouled spark plug is simply = rich in fuel mixture, provided if you see any deposits. Instead of going through complex tuning process, either replace new spark plugs, but a rich mixture will soon let you into the same process. Better check the CO level, from your symptoms it looks like rich mixture to me. As of now, replacing the spark plugs should solve the problem (or try cleaning once) but it might appear again.

              Could be, as of now I still see the coolant level is near to max level only while done close to 8K on odo. (Does my bike really use it? ).

                    Hi..i want opinion from ns owners..i have completed 7000 KMS on my ODO and i feel like my ns couldn't take the pickup in the initial gears as it used to... i tried to check and after placing it on the centre stand i started and shifted in the first gear..i saw as if the wheel is jammed because of which it wasn't taking the right pickup..i did chain lubing and it became smoother..but still face the problem in revving.. the SVC guys told that the chain is loose..anyone has any similar issue..please throw some light on the issue..

                      Does it spin on neutral?. Usually it will not free spin (like a toy car) on neutral, but it should still be doable. Try this, but be very careful. Try shifting gears and give a throttle. Check for any weird sound from the chain. Use clutch if necessary to find it. Upon first gear, the wheel should spin as indicated by the RPM needle(that will be idle speed RPM). Check if the RPM needle drops back upon shifting (in neutral itself). Check for chain slack. If the chain is too tight or loose, it can result the same way. But please be careful when you try it or even better take it to a near by workshop.

                      Do a proper chain clean. Not just lubing, but washing and cleaning with diesel, spray uniformly and then so on. If you are sure that the chain is lose then you should consider tightening up. Mostly they will remove a link to make it fit, otherwise might have to replace the whole chain set.

                        Yes this was the same problem I had .its the AFR.what's really strange is it's getting changed all of a sudden without tinkering at all. Your afr is anyways needs tuning.so do one thing.take a screwdriver and then rotate it clockwise half then.exact half turn.I did it once and then man I got a fat torque band right from 2000 rpm til redline and mileage was 38 in city and 42 on highways. That state of time made me realise how powerful the bike is and how much linear the power is.try it once and if u R not satisfied then go for the CO Test and tune it accordingly.
                        Remember just turn it half and that's about it.ride it for a day and try to ride at high RPM and lower speed and feel the power.
                        I think the AFR is getting changed due to water wash pressure.that's the only problem I found out in my bike.svc has tuned it and it seems pretty good so far.lets see where it goes.
                        I remember svc saying that the screw was all over the place and I didn't even touch it.so only way I can think of is high pressure water

                          Guys need help...

                          Ran into a problem today with my beloved ns...

                          After riding in the rain (not heavy) today in bangalore for 10 km ... I stopped to get some stuff... After which when I switched on the ignition and did a self... The whole console went kaput... Nothing... Just gibberish being showed on it... Neither the tacho works neither the signs light up on the left hand side...

                          Thought the console is gone but along with it came another problem... The bike won't start... Self would sound like a dead battery ... A couple of try and nothing at all then... Had to push start the bike and get it to office... That small ride somehow made the battery to work and self was fine... But the console is still kaput...

                          So my question is

                          Is my console got something to do with self start not working or both my console and battery has gone kaput... Anyways tomorrow will take it to service center (don't know if it would be open) but pointers would be good..

                          Also by bike is just 14 months old with arnd 9k ok odo... Will this be taken care under warranty...

                            Hey Ichigo
                            guess u have a blown out fuse if none of the electricals work
                            just check that and replace it (you will have spare fuses in the fuse box too check the manual)
                            and don't use bankai on your bike if u know what I mean
