Re: Bajaj CT100 DX


The above is a link to my Jawa 250 Thread.
Issue 3, Yes.
Issue 2, You will need that 31 in 1 screw driver set too, in case you need to open it.
Issue 4, okay.

Re: Bajaj CT100 DX


Planning to take my bike to the Mechanic to fix the issue# 1 with the front wheel. I don't think I will be able to remove the wheel and fix the issue myself.

Regarding issue# 2, let me buy the WD Spray and try that out tomorrow. if it doesn't fix, i will think about opening.

Regarding issue# 3, it is at the Handle end and the thread near to handle is lost. Should i wind teflon tape on thread in mirror and screw it into the handle?

Issue# 4, i will wait and see as don't notice the thud sound that frequently.

Looking for some deal on Shell advance 20w40 in amazon, if it touches 250 rs i will buy. Why don't you post some pics of your JAWA? When did you buy it? Whats your feedback on JAWA?

Re: Bajaj CT100 DX

Hi.
I am good. Glad to hear from you too.
Sorry to hear about the problems with your bike.
1) The front wheels will have to be removed and checked for the bearing and it's interface with the axle. Also dismounting the front wheel will also give you an opportunity to clean the brake drums & liner (replace if needed). The dust and grime / worn out liner rubbing against the drum may lead to further damage of the drum, hence would need to be looked at a.s.a.p.

2) Use WD40 spray liberally, there may be some accumulated grime on the indicator terminals. If confident, then opening it up to clean is also an option. Last option is to replace, which is fairly easy.
3) At the handle end or the mirror end? Either way replacement is needed. Original mirror requires a 17 no. Open spanner.

a) Mirror end quick fix is to apply Fevikwik inside the rotating joint area whilst rotating the mirror, this ensures uniform spread and holds for a few days to weeks, depending on riding conditions.

b) Handle end, either mirror or the other thread is lost, use a teflon tape to give more thickness to the thread.

4) I am not sure about this one. I feel the Clutch needs to be adjusted, if the clutch plates are worn out, then replace it along with new oil. I am using Shell Advance 20W40 only. On a separate note, this time I was late to change it. 4K kms, mechanic was like, oil is still good. I insisted for him to change it all the same.

Glad to hear that you changed your battery. Cost? How is it? Mine was losing charge quickly, managed to get it replaced under warranty FOC. Now the world is beautiful again...[emoji1]

All the best with your bike.

I have been busy with my JAWA, even so CT100 didn't create a fuss. Good bike...

Re: Bajaj CT100 DX

Hey Dude!! How are you? It's a long time since I posted about my bike. The battery was changed to SF Sonic last year when I serviced. I still haven't changed my tyres but got my bike serviced last month. Need to change the engine oil. Thinking of going with Shell advance 20w40 this time as well. Is there any other oil better than this? If not I will go with the same. Few other issues are:

1. Front wheel is making squeeking noise when I ride in 2nd or 3rd gear. In top, I don't hear it. Not sure about the issue. Noise is also there when I rotate the wheel manually.
2. Indicator knob is not working properly. For now, only right is working. The service person tells I need to change the complete case, which may cost around 500 rupees.
3. Right Mirror could not be fixed as it keeps rotating.
4. I hearing some thud noise when I leave the clutch. Not sure if I am leaving the clutch too fast and not smoothly.

Other than these issues, bike is doing good. How is yours? Any updates?

Re: Bajaj CT100 DX

Its a short stroke, can comfortably scream aywhere from 50~120 kmph all day on the speedo, true speed would be 80~100 kmph.

Re: Bajaj CT100 DX

Whats the crusing speed of ct100. I mean the speed which you can do all day long without stressing the engine and not vibrating the pegs and bar. I would be grateful if i get the reply. Thanks.

Re: Bajaj CT100 DX

The Saree guard came, but it wasn't compatible. So didn't purchase it. Tried a lot of places Mumbai, Pune, Kolhapur. Didn't get it.
So refurbished the existing one.

Got it gas welded at weak and broken places. Then used a chrome paint over it.

Don't have time for a thorough job right now, so did a temporary fix for the paint thing. If it holds then cool, else will do a definitive job post rainy season.

Re: Bajaj CT100 DX

I am using Ceat Milaze. Experience over the past year or so has been pretty good. I have seen Splendor, Passion motorcycles with same tyre dimensions, use this particular model. I don't know if Ceat has any other models in the same size. You may want to look into that.
Avoid TVS, MRF, RALCO, EUROGRIP tyres.

About the battery change, do remember to take a sealed battery. I have Amaron. No further damage to the battery box. I wish I had taken it (sealed battery) when I bought the bike.

Re: Bajaj CT100 DX

Cool! Taking my bike to the service tomorrow. Long time since I gave for service and I need to fix many issues. Changing Battery is a priority as I struggle when I honk every time. Rear tyre needs a change and also headlight glass. Interior roads are not that good and have lots of bumps and pits, so lots of discomfort in everyday ride. Suggest me a good tyre.

Re: Bajaj CT100 DX

GQ was way better compared to riding conditions down south, they are crap, only reason my chain set crapped out was due to my weight, luggage carried and higher speeds maintained.

As for leaks they've recently started to give off minor vapor leaks(might be due to climate) but I'll run them for another 4k before replacing them, I am a stickler round figures on maintenance intervals.

My P220's coneset and seals are replaced at every 15k km's in comparison, thanks to Bajaj its a cheap price to pay for peace of mind.

Re: Bajaj CT100 DX

Hi.
Chain set, Air filter, Head O ring kit with Anabond is all good.
I believe that GQ took a toll on your bike.
Is there play in the steering? If so, consider the cone set.
Are the front forks leaking oil? If so, consider the oil seals.
If not, then don't open it up. You can just drain the oil and replace the same.

This is my personal opinion.
If it ain't broke, don't mend it.

But I agree that GQ type rides may wear out components, earlier than usual. If you are planning a similar ride soon in the near future or the bike is having issues mentioned above, then change those by all means.
Anyway your call. All the best.

Re: Bajaj CT100 DX

Thank you!

Due to CT100 not being popular among enthusiasts I was having a tough time, tried mechanical forums and got the following values;

Intake: 0.5mm
Exhaust: 0.8mm

Still I wanted to confirm before going ahead. Currently she's at 21k, planning on replacing the below at 25k;

1. Chain Set, the current one is nearing the end of its life, the GQ ride really pulled a number on it, every second opinion I get recommends to change them already but being stingy I hope to keep them till the adjuster is at absolute end.
2. Fork Oil and Seals, got a pair of suspension boots as well.
3. Head O ring kit and Anabond, to be used during tappet adjustment.
4. Coneset, yet to get, forgot the last time I was at the SVC.
5. Air filter, I change at 5k intervals.

Fingers crossed on getting the actual values.

Re: Bajaj CT100 DX

Based on what the Bajaj ASC mechanics (Kolhapur & Mumbai) had told me, clearances are as follows:
Intake valve 0.5mm and Outflow valve 0.7mm for CT100 DX.
I am unsure of the decimals, I will check and revert.

Re: Bajaj CT100 DX

Would anyone be able to provide me with the tappet clearances for the CT100?

I've tried a lot to hunt for the CT100's workshop manual but I'm out of luck, do share the same if anyone here has a copy.

Re: Bajaj CT100 DX

I am searching for a saree guard for my CT100.
Only local products are available, which are not even close to good. Bajaj stuff isn't available. Tried the entire townside in Mumbai, checked with company too including my service centre at Kolhapur. But to no avail.
I have ordered a different saree guard meant for Bajaj CT 100B. Let's see how that works.
