I have changed my accelerator cable about a year ago and the accelerator cable is completely fine & has normal play.
    When the engine is cold the fall from 3k rpm to idle is faster compared to warm engine. What can be the possible reason for this issue
    RPM sticking when motor is hot is due to an Air Leak/Running Lean if all other variables have been checked.

    Do a WD40 Air Leak test, it's available on YouTube. Once you find the culprit replace it, most probably it will be the manifold.

    Here is the video

    Which engine oil u using, if it's the yamahalube mineral then count that as 1st factor. Considering that the engine is getting hotter than what's normally acceptable.

    Yes the ralco knobby tyre is specially designed for offroad.
    If you are not a hardcore offroader go for street tyres which I mentioned above. You can do a bit of offroading on them too and also won't compromise on dry or wet grip.

    Compared to manufacturer provided led lights, the aftermarket lights suffer from poor focus of the light beam. A mix of lens assembly and light power mismatch. The low or high beam doesn't seem to make much difference and are equally glaring. Although all these glare issues are faced by the oncoming vehicles. The new vehicles especially the cars have manufacturer provided led lights which are better focussed in the low beam mode and doesn't blind the eye.
    Yes there is glare but only on high beam
    I have adjust the headlight, look properly at the car and the objects behind the car
    In low beam the seats inside the car are not visible whereas in the high beam it is visible.
    Vehicles in the opposite sides will only be affected in high beam.I have tested it thoroughly and adjusted the headlight in accordance.
    The led is designed by keeping halogens in mind. In low beam two leds facing upwards light up and in high beam a led in the bottom lights up.
    It doesnot have beam pattern as of halogens but the beam it provides is adequate.

    A video is attached in the post you may watch it.The high and low beam is more prominent in the video as compared to the pictures.

    140/80 would be a very tall tyre and will surely touch the mudguard and the bike will get very tall geared and will be very sluggish in the lower rev band. Up size up to 140/70 or 150/60 is ok, still the bike will get tall geared but will be quite usable and would directly fit too.

    If you are looking for off-road knobby tyres you can go for ralco speed blaster 140/70 or 160/70. People going to ladakh on their dominar & ktm use this tyre. Its cheap too.You can get it in local market.

    If you want something for grip and on road use you can check out michelin pilot street radials or mrf masseter both come in 140/70 size.Other cheaper alternatives are mrf zapper s 140/70 which I use and ceat zoom xl.

    Build quality of the led is very impressive, and seems to be very sturdy too.
    The stock dust cap can be fitted on these leds.

    High& low beam

    Here is a video for the demo of beam pattern, sorry for the quality as my phone's camera is not that great so it may seem a bit dark.






    The camera is not doing proper justice to the light as it is brighter in real life compared to the pictures.
    These are way better as well as brighter than the stock halogen.
    The only con is that as leds emit pure white light these are pretty useless in foggy conditions.
    Hope they last long, will further update my experience after using extensively. Till now initial impressions are great.
