Went for an early morning ride after cleaning the spark plugs and it was just WOW. at first i was hesitant to open the throttle as lately i have experienced the horrors of poor tuning like flat spots and jerks, but since the carb and spark plugs cleaned the performance is really great. redlined in sixth gear before I knew it and the bike felt planted. before shifting to to sixth cog i saw 125 on speedo and didn't have a chance to see what speed i reached.

My suggestion to everyone who has already clocked more than 15k and are experiencing a drop in performance is to have the carburetor cleaned, spark plugs checked and cleaned or replaced and make proper adjustments and you will see the difference.

the svc guys will say there is no need to check the carb or spark plugs and it is sufficient to clean air filter, but don't listen to them. have every service requirement completed according to the service booklet and insist on everything that needs to be done. this way we can avoid spending a fortune on spares.

another trend with the svc guys is that they will not try to rectify a problem, instead they suggest replacement which is easier for them for example, when you give for chain cleaning, they will clean only the chain and dont touch the sprockets especially the front wchich will wear off soon since it was never cleaned, then you will have to replace the set sooner. they will not check the spark plugs regularly and clean them, which leads to higher deposits in the engine and need to decarb sooner than needed. they will not adjust the valve clearance at regular intervals which also leads to lots of problems.

if we never insist on the jobs to be done correctly they will just give it a good waterwash and apply some polish we don't need and say ALL IS WELL, but not.

All the spark plugs are changed during the first paid service at 15K.

not everywhere. my mechanic was saying there was no need till 30k.

depends on the laziness quotient of the svc

AFAIK, the change is required as per the parts replacement chart. Check your service book, I bleakly remember seeing that in the list of parts to be cleaned/replaced during the first paid service.
They need to do whatever is required. Afterall they're charging you for the replacement.

35 KMPL is not bad either. Uneven riding conditions do take a hit on the mileage part, as cruising for a stretch and then all of a sudden using low gears for a particular stretch does infact alter the mileage characteristics. So I will say yes, this is one of the reason too.

Did you change the Engine or brake oil recently? If so check for oil spillage on exhaust. The smell is due to oil burning on hot exhaust.
[[You can reproduce the smell by dripping a drop of engine oil on hot exhaust and check if that is similar.]]

got only 26 mileage on my last fill
before that got 28
riding was normal, shifts before 6k rpm no red lining.
what could be the reason?
i dint lube my chain till now, 2200kms done, is that the reason? cause i feel loss in pick up too.
going to give my bike for wash, is it okay if i go for diesel wash? just worried that paints will fade

Was the carb tuned either by you or any mechanic? If yes then it could be possible that it running on the richer side. To confirm this you can check the spark plugs if they are wet and black then the AFR is on the richer side. Also do a CO level check to further confirm this and get it adjusted to 2.0 - 2.5%. clean the spark plugs and air filter also.

try shifting gears between 4.5-5k RPM range

chain should be cleaned every 500km for optimal performance and extend the life of the chain. If the conditions are wet, muddy, dusty then the frequency should be more say every 300km. chain which is not cleaned properly and lubed does bring down the performance a little. Check for chain slackness as well, adjust the clutch.

Loss in pickup could be because of rich AF or worn out clutch but since your ODO is just 2200km the latter can be ruled out.

Center stand idea? Is center stand create any problem ..!?

saala bajaj wale kabhi nahi sudhrenge... MC..BC..

bajaj will never learn from its mistakes.

as if that switch problem was not sufficient, since monday, i there is a kirr kirr sound coming from front brake, it increased today, initially i thought there is some mud stuck between pads and disk, so did a water wash with high pressure. but it didn't improve.

upon close inspection i saw that brake pad is completely worn out ... metal to metal...WTF...only 2800 kms on the ODO.

worst thing is brake pads and disks are not covered in warranty.

hell with bajaj....
