Tail light and number plate light are DC by stock setup. thats why its getting on without engine. and pilot lamp and headlight are AC.Originally posted by chinu_punya View PostComment

Bearings in wheels last quiet a long , may be life of the vehicle , if you rotate it freely and observe for any sound ..hmmmm.. like, or little play along the axial its better to get it replaced , this happens if dust or water has entered the beerings ( if wheels have submerged above half). if not regreasing can do , you can get it done from local mechanic too.Originally posted by kripscorp View PostComment

Ammeters are not significant in todays bikes or four wheelers, its only for vehical electricals including battery status ( full dc ,may be the reason). Bullet still has those antique thingsOriginally posted by ashwinprakas View Post

Completed 1000 on ODO
The bike is smooth and mileage is fine (~50 KMPL). But still the gear shift is hard. Any suggestion to improve this?
Also I am planning to upgrade the horn. Is Roots Vibersonic a better fit for GS150R. Please helpComment

I tried to build a circuit for monitoring the battery status. But after considering analog ammeters, i found ammeters are good choice. As, real time electrical usage cannot be monitored in battery status circuit.Originally posted by Vikshe View PostWell explained ,analog dial looks great , good work , better if we have digital display available in market which shows battery status ,like mobile phones .Comment

I think, the horn u have mentioned will sound more or less like the stock horn. try windtone horn. it will give a pleasant sound. I'm planning to use roots windtone.Originally posted by getvmurali View Post
regarding gear shift, i think your carburetor is not tuned properly, as it gives only 50kmpl. My gs gives 60+ kmpl. it may sound weird when we talk about carburetor with gear shift. but there is some relation between them. if carburetor is not tuned properly, engine wont run smooth. this may indirectly affect gear shift. What you can do is, slightly tune the carburetor fuel screw, as mentioned below.
- fuel screw is located in the left side of the engine on the carburetor. (in the gear leaver side)
- it is made up of brass.
- with the help of screw driver, turn that screw 2 mm clockwise or anti-clockwise direction.
- go for a ride.
- if u feel the engine became worse, then tune the above mentioned screw in opposite direction to what you have turned before. Now you have to turn 4 mm in this direction to compensate the earlier 2 mm turn.
- if u feel the engine became better, then tune in the same direction of another 2 mm and feel the engine sound. also go for a ride.
- please note, this screw is very sensitive. even a small 2mm turn will show u a good difference in engine run.
- Also take the reading of mileage with the new tune setting.
finally, all these work needs a good level of concentration towards the bike.
All the best!Comment

Murali, considering your bike has completed run-in as per kms ,the mileage is fine and see it's not an accurate one ,it's just a approximate value only.. For correct figures you can try bottle method with help of SC..Originally posted by getvmurali View Post
Gears will get smoothen once you start use them (means lot)., See in my bike it got to smoothen after 2nd service and for some it's even after their 1st service and some still complaints it didnt happen not even after many miles ..
From my experience on highways, I assure you our stock horn is one of the loudest and clear sound which fulfils the purpose of a horn. Windtones are good for fancy things and it'll be noticebale only at Cities, not suitable for highways at good speeds..Originally posted by kripscorp View Post
Kripscorp, since his bike has just completed 1st service , it's not a good thing to compare his mileage now and adjust the carb setting too early.,regarding gear shift, i think your carburetor is not tuned properly, as it gives only 50kmpl.

Let him munch some miles and let the gear shifts and all settle first., My request is ,please dont suggest this opinion to new bikes,,
@MURALI :: Seriously, dont take it seriously and adjust the carb setting.,Last edited by gmagesh14; 04-09-2012, 12:37 PM.Comment
