    I found it's a combination of all. My own back has always had some issues, and I also discovered that my riding style on NS wasn't right at all. I should ride tall with a straight back. and I really feel tall like king of the road that way but it reduces the pain alot. I just did a 50km midnight ride in Delhi and didn't feel noticeable pain. So I don't think bedrest is needed, still to vist a doctor though. Plus NS's suspension really is very hard as we all know, on top of that I always keep my Tyre pressures upto date. Always keeping it.... well around 32-34 rear, 26-28 front. Helps with the FE.
    Do you perform weight training excersises? If yes then check your form while performing an excersise, bad form in excersises that involve the back could affect it.

    Also are you taking any kind of steroids like Anabol, D-bol etc.? Back pumps are a common problem while using such steroids.

    If working what type of job do you do? is a full time job sitting in the office ya bhoja dote ho

    Do you play any kind of sport - cricket / football etc.?

    Back problems can be a result of a single or multiple reasons and since you are having this problem for some time now you should definitely visit a good Ortho and get your back checked up ASAP. avoid driving long distances as much as possible, sleep on a flat surface like floor and use a pillow so that your neck is parellel to the floor and straight as much as possible. keep the suspension on the softest setting. ride with a straight back as much as possible.

      does the bike give jerks afte 6500rpm till 8000rpm like when going into reserve and then suddenly respond as if suddenly the fuelling started?

      if yes, the carb does need cleaning. as far as i have seen this carb is very sturdy. It is just that no other bike has similar model carb and tuning method is little different.

      If you are going to get the carb overhauled, first get this product from ebay: Carburetor Cleaner Spray TC 25 | eBay , then take it to the svc. have the carb opened completeliy. ask them to clean the carb with this spray. also have the drain screw opened and cleaned. have all the o-rings removed since some svc guys will be too lazy to remove them before cleaning.

        to all those who are experienceing a similar lag issues-->>

        you need a carbeurator overhaul and daiphram and/or slide piston change.

        this problem used to happen in my older P150 also.

        btw, it seems nobody noticed that in my earlier post i mentioned that rear brake foot pedal can be rotated slightly downwards.

          It feels as if it is struggling to breath, it suffocates beyond the 7k mark. Earlier i use to hit 115 in fifth gear easily but now it struggles to do so.

          Also i can smell burning fumes from the engine, even after a short ride. I have observed slight oil and dust accumulation, something that resembles smudge near and above the right slave spark plug. Could it be a leaking head or gasket? I'm still using Bajaj oil. I'll add a photo ASAP for further clarification.

                Got the diaphragm and some spring changed. The mechanic said that petrol 'filtration' was occurring and the engine was unable to give it's full power output. Now, the power delivery is once again linear, can roll off from 40 km/h to top speed in 6th gear. That turbocharger-like effect at 8.5k and 10.5k rpm is gone. I miss that, but it's all for the bike's good.

                The mech said that the umbrella-like part of the rubber diaphragm in the pic is supposed to be a bit firm.
                The spring is part of the set. Cost: 1050.

                  while fixing new brake pedal, i discovered that brake pedal can be rotated downwards, and done mine. a lot ppl had this problem earlier that brake pedal can not be rotated. it can i have done it and is as saimple as shown in my earlier pics.



                  this is because of two things-->

                  1) you already have a back pain and back issues. visit a doctor and start treatment. do not ride any two-wheeler for atleast say 2-3 weeks. sleep ona flat bed i.e. without pillow and sleep straight with face facing the roof.

                  2) second thing is NS has a very hard rear suspension and that creates a lot of problems combined with ackward riding stance. there is very little that can be done. however try to keep tire pressure lower then recomended, it will smoothen out the small bumps. recomended is Front-25 rear-28. you keep front-25 and rear also 25. will make a great difference.

                  apart from this if doctor permits do some jogging and stretching exercises everyday specially some excersize or yoga in which your back is bend backwards.



                  No, they were kids.



                  i couldn't figure out this was related to what..??

                  however my bike leans to right while riding straight, this tendency is more when riding in wet. my mechanic says rear tyre problem. he advises me to get it changed under warranty.

                  according to him some other NS also had this problem and some of eurogrip tyres were faulty.
                  Your and my bike have a lot in commo... my bike also leans in right while riding straight leading to right hand pain.... Nd unfortunately its not because of tyres.... i am using my 3rd rear tyre now and till date the problem is there.... svc dont bother Nd says its not leaning

                    Can you attach a closeup picture of your fuel toggle switch ( the switch to change fuel from main to reserve or off ) And also a closeup of the tail lights.

                        To test how well the diaphragm replacement went on, I ripped my bike in all gears (except 6th of course). Hit the 10800 rpm rev-limiter and stayed there for 5 seconds approx. The lag has disappeared.
                        Now there's a new problem. The idle is not stable. Definitely not a tuning issue. This had happened before when I got my bike decarbonised. Apparently they hadn't placed the diaphragm in properly. Opening up the carburetor every other week will have it's repercussions in the long run. Also, there's a new noise from the engine. Like some metallic parts are brushing against each other, at idle. This means YET another trip to the ASC. To hell with Bajaj servicemen!

                                i don't exactly remember the price of all it's being nearly a year since i brought that tentatively it was within 250 to 300 each one of them

                                and as far as difference between 9341 & 451 is concern there is not much to be specific about, i brought both based on service people suggestion as they suggested to use 451 in case of long ride as it keeps chain well lubricated for longer period even during high usage but as i said i don't fee any difference both.

                                i believe in taking good care of my machines as they take care of my passion
