Currently on 19782kms. Bike is still peppy. Changed brake pads. Gear shift problems have arose once again (first time it was in the beginning) and its constantly misgearing. Last oil change was 4500kms back to Motul 7100. Sprockets will live for another 1000kms, would change it before I get off on saddle sore. Planning to keep the bike at home and use car till I get out for the SS. Feels problematic while cornering (yes, had gone to Lavasa for the first time in a long time and first time on the NS). The bike wobbled once. Tire pressure ratio 25 : 28

How many days old is the bike? Not many I suppose! Anyway, misgearing? Like getting stuck between gears?
And advance wishes for the saddlesore!!

@all, which SS/FS oil should I use if I want really good acceleration?

Persoanlly I would prefer a little more air in the rear tyre. something around 30-32. Are your tyres the original ones which came with the bike?

Bike 72 days old. Yes, thats the issue.

Use any of Motul 3100, 5100, 7100, 300v for a good performance.

@Horror: Yes, they are the same stock Eurogrip I am using.

Great going.Any plans for bigger sprockets?Or satisfied with current low end grunt?Best of luck for SS.Get all problems rectified before it.Being the guy who has the biggest odo can you post your average mileage?Whats your CO%?

FS is better for performance as far I know.

I suppose that the oil should last upto 4k-5k kms before you need to change it.
And yes, the power in the low RPM band is limited...you have to rev it up for more power.One needs to change the gears a LOT especially in city riding in order to keep up with the pace...

Rich AFR update : (200+ kms with a richer AFR )
Although I have said that the vibrations went away completely with a richer AFR...after riding my NS after a gap or 17 days, as I went to Pune to my parents'...now I feel that only & only the black coloured components on the sides of the tank are vibrating...the tank ( the coloured portion ) is rock steady though...which is very weird cuz both seems to be seamlessly same piece with basically just different colours...
Also, there seems to be no change in the fuel efficiency whatsoever.

Also I'd like to know whether NGK iridium spark plugs may provide a better punch at low RPMS or not ?

Thanks

I want to keep the bike as much stock as possible. Don't want to change the sprockets as they are enough and keeps me satisfied. Changed the spark plugs though after one went kaput! Put NGK plugs on all 3.

Problems, yes. I am unable to rectify this issue. Gear shifts are seemingly problematic due to too much mis-shifts. Neutral does not happen in one go. Gets stuck often between 3rd and 4th gear and 5th and sixth gears (Stuck means, it goes into neutralish bike doesn't have the effect even is accelerating). Engine oil seems good enough to take on 2-3k kms more of abuse.

I am getting around 40 kmpl these days and sometimes more. I ride 99% of the time on highways only and at 75~90kmph speeds 50% of the time and rest I rip it above 120. CO% is around 3+.

At 6th gear, it feels the bike is knocking at 6k RPM till 7k RPM. Beyond which I dint check as of yet. I think it might be a problem due to the gone sprocket and chain. Experts, please guide me. Emergency here! Have very limited time left for the SS. Cant go in for SS with this situation. Need this fixed sooner!

exactly.... no mileage difference between 1.5% co and 3.8% co.... moreover bike runs better with rich fueling.... so i am now sticking to rich.... atleast bikes feels peppy....

guys for few days my engine is running quite rough.... any idea whats wrong? not as peppy as before... i am 3.6k on odo and running 7100....

advise for horn

Guys,Need to.change the stock horns. It feels like a 100 cc bike horn.Any good advise? Hella, minda or roots?Don't want the roots windtone. It's more like a car horn. I want one like pulsar 150 or 180.

It's probably time to change the oil?

i'll prefer hella
oil is 400kms old...

Bulging tyre

On my way back home, i felt the bike wobble at a few corners.. Once parked, i check the rear tyre for wobble when i noticed 2 bulges
Called up svc center and they said the tyre is under warranty, but only an authorised vendor will replace it.

Update: Just got the details from the service centre
- I have to show the tyre to a TVS representative
- He will give a report on whether the problem is due to manufacturing defect
- "If" it is a manufacturing defect i will get a new tyre

All this jhol when i have an exam on thursday, for which i have to travel quite a bit

I get reference of the TVS representative, but he sits all the way across the city.
To make things worse, he tells me the dealer will ONLY REPLACE THE TYRE ON FRIDAY OR MONDAY!!

So finally i give up and agree to meet him at the dealer on this friday, by taking a day off from office.

Bike is 4 months / 7000 km old and this is the third major F up with the bike
1. Accelerator cable stuck wide open, bike idling at 8k rpm
2. Fuel line pinched shut between fuel tank and mounting
3. Tyre bulge

I do a daily run of 20km on highway at 90+kmph and 20km on city roads.
Should i be sad that the tyre is screwed or be happy that it didn't burst at 100+kmph?










I sense murphy laughing at me for all the times i have defended the stock eurogrips against critisim

U mean to say there can be a problem with the disk plate or disk pads????
The noise is increasing now and i cannot go to ASC as my exams are there.
Going to shoot mail to BAL.

You said harsh. In what way? Sound? Vibes?
