    My friend's ns is at 14k kms and clutch is smooth as always. The cable is stock and was never changed. I do remember some mech specifying that not routing the clutch cable properly or lubing the nylon coated cables shorten its life significantly.

      No cable didn't break . but it works like on-off and when he releases the clutch bike starts to move only at one point of the clutch release

        4 things and you make sure you do it in front of you and if they say no ask for a job sheet saying bike has no issues!then the do it.

        1)Check tappet settings
        20Check Diapharm
        3)open carb and clean thoroghly.I mean deassemble
        4)Clean Air filter
        5)Ask him to tune carb to stock settigns.

        IT should get fixed
        As instructed by you, yesterday I gave my bike for servicing and told him the things you told me and I had to leave the bike at the SVC as they told me that they had many bikes for servicing. In the evening when I went to collect the bike I asked the mechanic that whether he has done the tappet settings right or not? He replied that "I checked with the machine and tappet settings aren't required." I asked him about the carb his reply was:- "Sir carb cleaning is not required at 10000 kms though I have tuned the carb". I immediately test rode the bike and the difference was evident acceleration felt smooth and the bike felt calm. As per now am satisfied thanks for the advice.[emoji3]

          I wanted to install a brace bar on my bike for a phone mount and a phone charger. Is it possible to be done in Chennai anywhere? Any other options?

The problem is that the clutch acts strange.its like an on- off kind of feeling . also bike jerks a bit when it starts from standstill in 1st gear.he did change the clutch wire settings I.e check freeplay etc and still the same.
            He wants to sell the bike and wants an urgent help as to what could have happened?
            Any solution pls..

            Clutch and pressure plate burnt due to clutch riding.

            Change both.

                How about using on the mirror stem? Just a thought...

                  Hey bro, will these be compatible with the ns?? Also is there much difference with the stock levers?

                    Nope, and have rarely seen guys reporting problems associated to that here.

                    Well said. I think @Himanshu Patel is suspecting the coolant leaking with engine oil.

                    What @xplod566 referring, could that be clutch wire spring issue?. @xplod566, If I understand correctly, your friend is able to apply either 100% or 0%, right?. looks also like a worn out plate as said earlier by another friend here. But is he selling the bike for this reason?.

                    I am considering a 2013/14 200ns.
                    Should i go for a used ns?!
                    Is it worth buying a used 200ns?!
                    Also what other bikes can i go for?!
                    I am currently using a unicorn 150 and i need something more powerful with better brakes.
                    You shall wait for 200NS FI (that might take 3-5 months), if I consider April as launch date. Or better than ever, wait for Apache 200 ABS.

                    If you are buying used NS, watch out for some well known issues such as Swaying left, lack of punch at mid range, irregular idling, etc

                        No he is selling coz he wants to buy TNT25.
                        He replaced the clutch plates 500kms ago so he suspects its not an issue with the plates.but he did mention that the clutch is extremely hard and he hasn't changed the cables.might be an issue with it.I am with him now and he is replacing the cables.I also saw the clutch to be extemly hard.

                            I have ~30K kilometers on the odo and I got the clutch cable changed only once at about 25K odo, that too for precautionary reasons. So, I don't think its a design problem or such.

                            Since your friend is facing problem of wire breaking off from the bottom end, I would suggest him to check or replace the clutch rod once.
                            It broke on mine once, I thought the clutch wire broke, but it was the clutch rod instead. It doesn't costs much approx ₹150 plus labour.

                              Rough idling tells me lean mixture. If the mixture is very lean, the idling will struggle to keep up. If too rich, it will die as well. But unless you are so sure, do not adjust AFR setting. Try applying choke (gradually) which will make the mixture rich by cutting some air intake. But then there is a ratio say 15:1 ratio (Air:Fuel) I think so, and it won't work if this ratio is not obtained. To push your luck, try choke as I said and see if the increasing RPM stays constant. It should... Keep this noted to SVC

                              TNT25?, that's a wise decision. I just would blindly buy (if I have money) Bennelli for "just sound", if not for anything. When I bought my NS, all I had was only CBR250, which I hated for sporty riding position. Now we have so many models available.. . Good going.
