    Carburettor? Yes. I am happy with the results. Getting mileage above 60/litre for sure.

    I have few other issues also. My Horn is fading away, may be because i have not changed the battery since i bought the vehicle. The rim of back wheel has a bend and I also think i need to replace tyres. I have not changed them since i bought them.

    There may be few cosmetic replacements. I will water wash my vehicle and post a picture later today. please suggest me what and all can be changed for better looks. As I already mentioned in the beginning of my thread, i bought this bike (my first bike) in 2004. It learnt to ride in this bike and even today its good and smooth. I dont want to replace it with any new bikes.
    Okay. Headlight assembly shouldn't cost you so much. Anyway happy to hear abt the mileage improvement. Congratulations.
    Happier to know that your battery, tyres lasted so long.

    Take an Amaron or equivalent (12V, 2.5mah) sealed battery. It has a longer warranty period, doesn't require any maintenance, no battery water leakage or particle deposit nor corrosion.

    I wanted to ask you to interchange the rims due to the bend, but it is not feasible cost wise.

    My Ceat tyres have been tremendously helpful in the recent heavy rains. No slipping or any other manner of loss of grip experienced.

    All the best. Awaiting the pictures.

I bought the Carburetor today (MRP - 1345) from Bajaj Authorized Spare shop but they gave me the Carburetor belonging to Platina (Part no - DZ121006). They said that Carburetor will also fit CT 100. I will give my bike to the mechanic tomorrow to change the Carburetor. Hope, I will also replace the headlight lens soon

    Hi Guys,

    It was interesting to go through your posts since I ride a CT100B and did wonder at times how different it would feel like to ride some of the other variants, especially the ones with ExhausTEC.

    I used to ride a Discover 100 4G and it came with ExhausTEC, the low end performance was astounding which I dearly miss on my CT100B, the Platina 100 on the other hand which ran off a motor similar to the CT100 and came with ExhausTEC also had good low end performance. even better than the Discover 100 4G. Which has now brought me to believe that ExhausTEC does make a noticeable impact with respect to low end performance.

    Now coming to your carbs, I'm doubtful whether the ExhausTEC and non-ExhausTEC variants share the same carb and jets, as the Platina, CT100, 4S Champion etc share the same motor it would be highly likely that they also share the same carb(highly likely), but would they share the same jetting configuration as well?

    Please shed some light on the matter if you know better. Thanks
    I don't know better about the jetting. Compared to 35kmpl with black smoke in the absence of an alternative carburettor, anything will be better, is what I feel personally.

    Also even after you change the carburettor, the smoke will continue to be black for a week or two depending on your running (Due to the accumulated soot in the silencer).

    You will waste a good amount of petrol racing the engine to spew it all out. But it will all be good in the end.

    It is the cost of the spare part i.e. reflector + lens. Same place. Bajaj spares dealer who gave you the carburettor, he would be stocking this too. I am not certain w.r.t. Platina carburettor. Theoretically it should. All the best. Do let me know how things go...

    I checked at the Bajaj Authorized Spares shop, they don't stock just the lens. The Trapezoidal headlight assembly will cost approximately INR 550/-.

    Sealing tape, I haven't had the opportunity to use it. Hence don't know. However try a 4" thick scotch tape (Transparent Cello tape) alongwith transparent plastic sheet.

    Regarding the dismantling of the headlight and fairing, I might have some how to images. Let me check and revert.

    Removing it is the easy part, replacing will be a slight challenge.

    You would require the headlight assembly for replacement. The catalogue shows a separate lens part no. for it. However I feel that it will need to be sealed to prevent water entry etc.

    Even though your reflector is good, you probably will still have to get the headlight assembly replaced due to the broken lens, as spares retailers may not end up keeping this part.

    There are different part nos. for the same and you will probably have to disassemble and take the broken part while buying the replacement. Refer part no. 1 & 22. Your headlight lens shows the part no. under the Bajaj logo. Just check that too.

    All the best. Hoping for a speedy recovery for your bike.

My headlight doom glass was broken. I heard the glass comes with the doom. Is there a possible way to just replace the glass instead of the full doom? My doom is in a very good condition.

    Part no. DU 1210 09

    The MRP including tax is Rs.1350/-.

    Let me know if you want any further help.
