Dude, Joel is the guy who knows the details. He did my setup. PM him and he should be able guide you in the right direction. Seeing the pic, it wont look any different from any other RTR disc assembly you see on the road. A lot of work which you will not see in the pic, has been done to get it working perfectly. All the Best.Originally posted by imjoshee View Post**MaSh**

Engine drinking oil
Engine has done 90200km of running & I had changed my block,piston & valves at 50k on the odo.Recently from the past 2-3 oil changes,i notice that engine oil when drained is only 500-600ml.
The bike does not smoke & runs fine.Gives me a mileage of 45-47kmpl. The other issue that the spark plug is all black at the tip & its wet when its taken out.I use Shell Advance 20w40 oil & pour in 1100ml of oil after 1500-2000km of run & change of oil filter alternatively. I am currently using NGK CR9eIX Iridium plug.
Can some one please help me out of this problem of the engine drinking oil??

I think 50k was a bit too early for block piston to be changed. Anyways, if you are not seeing any smoke, may be you can do a compression test or else it might be that the oil is getting vapourised.Originally posted by imjoshee View Post
Can you post the picture of the plug? Might be a case of oil entering the combustion chamber.Originally posted by imjoshee View Post2000 Suzuki Fiero | 2004 Bullet Electra | 2004 RX135 | 2005 CBZ | 2009 Karizma | 2009 Punto 1.4 Petrol | 2011 Yamaha YZF-R15

@imjoshee: You are using the wrong spark plug for the Fiero. It should be CR7E conventional, or CR7EIX Iridium, look here: NGK Partfinder for Two WheelersQuench my thirst with gasoline!Comment

Yes sire,it has to be CR7E or CR7EIX,but the one I am currently using stays more cooler than CR7E that is what was told to me by the dealer.Anyways I am planning to change back to stock.Thanks for the advise,but any advise on my other problemsOriginally posted by Sarvajit View Post

Compression test can be done using a compression tester. Should be available at service station.Originally posted by imjoshee View Post2000 Suzuki Fiero | 2004 Bullet Electra | 2004 RX135 | 2005 CBZ | 2009 Karizma | 2009 Punto 1.4 Petrol | 2011 Yamaha YZF-R15

Ok then. About your engine oil drinking problem, its a bit puzzling, since you have already changed your block,piston & valves at 50K on the odo.Originally posted by imjoshee View PostYes sire,it has to be CR7E or CR7EIX,but the one I am currently using stays more cooler than CR7E that is what was told to me by the dealer.Anyways I am planning to change back to stock.Thanks for the advise,but any advise on my other problems

What about the piston rings? That is a common cause of drinking oil, but smoke should be there. Its a bit weird!Quench my thirst with gasoline!Comment

Guys, what is the block? (or piston block) Does it need to be changed while changing the Ring Piston? I may need to change the ring piston of my bike soon... and what is the cost? easily available?
be patient with my queries as I am not too fluent with bike parts and stuff although I have been riding for years now. I let the mechanics decide and do the needful.Comment

Block is "cylinder block", the part which houses the piston. I think you are asking about "piston rings", it is easliy available. Not sure about the cost for a fiero..Originally posted by chief ashman View PostComment

Thanks for the reply bala,Originally posted by bala_racing View Post
so you mean the cylinder block is also susceptible to damage? .... When do you recommend a change? Minor damages I'm sure can be rectified. Well I already have the Ring and Ring Piston purchased... I am just waiting for a suitable time to change those.
I also plan to change the Carburetor ... is it necessary to change the carb in order to get a better mileage? I get between to 35 - 40 KM / Liter.

It is always a recommended practice to change the piston and block as a set. There is no specific time to change that, it depends on the riding condition of the vehicle.Originally posted by chief ashman View Post
You need not change the carburetor as a whole. Clean and inspect the same for any fault. Mostly, the float (copper) will get damaged on long use. If required change the float and needle valve as a set. Costs around Rs.400/-.
BTW, 35-40 km/litre is less, have your bike completely serviced by an experienced mechanic.Comment
