Hey bro... how you doing ? When I first started out with this even I used to face the same issue as you are facing with this new technique. You need to grip the throttle a little loose and make sure that the body weight under normal riding is slightly above the horizontal median of the throttle. You may think that your body will not get enough support by doing this when riding normally. Wrong - the inertia of motion due to which your body moves backwards during motion is more than enough to provide support.

In this position when you brake and your body moves forward under inertia of motion, due to your weight being on the section above the median the throttle automatically drops. Took me a while to figure this one out by hit and trial but once I did and practised it a lot I can virtually count on this technique now.

Never had even close to a wheel lock up, by the grace of the Almighty, using this technique under panic braking.

1. Motul 7100 is the best you can for your bike. If you take into consideration the cost factor and the change intervals it turns out to be a way more better proposition than the default DTSi oil. 7100 can easily last for atleast 5.5k - 6k kms between changes whereas the DTSi lasts for about 2k. So bro you could well see that you would be spending atleast 1200 bucks for 6k kms.

2. The Amazon prices are cheaper than what you would get in the open market. I just bought 7100 for 800 to a liter in Gurgaon.

3. The fairing noise -- welcome to bandwagon my friend. Never been able to figure where exactly that comes from. What I did was take apart EVERYTHING made of plastic like the fairing, headlights etc etc of my NS and then put everything back together again using double sided tape and washers etc. It does help a lot - you could give it a shot too mate.

Any other questions feel free to holler bro !

As per me bro, from what I could make out, its more a case of the improper gear being chosen to ride up the slope. Try shifting a lower gear instead of half clutching. I am sure that you would know half clutching also affects your clutch plates. Plus you may want to get your clutch tightened a bit.

Forgive me if I misinterpreted your post.

Bro what i am trying to say is that when i start my bike engage 1st gear then it sometime shuts down . I have to engage the clutch and then accelerate for a second then its okk.

In this case bro .. get your clutch tightened... whats the play on your clutch if I may ask. As per the Bajaj manual it should be about 5mm if I remember. Let us know if this is tick marked by you.

Bro.. you also would like to check your idling rpm

Idling rpm is 1.5 k and free play is about a cm i am not conform about it. Free play is adjusted in cable and lever na

Hey dudes!

Any one has plans for an aftermarket exhaust? any thoughts, leads, links to some exhausts compatible with our bike?

I also read that it will void the warranty! What is the AS's warranty duration? 1 or 2 yrs? Any help would be deeply appreciated

Does idle rpm increases when bike runs about 10 to 15 kms i.e from 1.5 k to 2.2 k

I'm still waiting to get my bike from repairs. Have it at Chiplun on 01/04. Spoke with them on Saturday and the parts still weren't dispatched. So the parts really come from Aurangabad? That's what the SVC told me. Tried calling customer care. The call dropped after 30 min wait. Don't really have the time and patience to call again. Sent an email to [email protected] on 17/04. Still no reply. Any other options to get things done faster? Please let me know. I'm getting fried. The only other mods of transport I have is an Activa.
TIA

Can you share some pic.Also i think you might have to replace it.its very hard to fix a bent alloy or else air keeps on leaking.

Visit the Auto Service Banshankari 2nd stage.If they can fix its good or else they would ask you to claim for insurance and get it replaced.
