    * Lean carb- problem with carboueter? How it can be rectified?

    Also there is so much of chain noise.
    Lean carb means the air-fuel mixture contains less fuel.

    Is the chain noise present before or after service?? If before service, it is dry chain. If after service, it is likely that they over tightened the chain or screwed up the wheel alignment. Take care of these 3 things and there should be no chain noise.

      * lean carb- it started after service. Regularly I will maintain 5-6 litres of petrol- How to overcome this issue?

      *Regarding chain noise- it started after service. Even I suspect they have screwed up alignment . I have complained about it they said to svc. They said noise is usual in Apache bikes.

      Iam frustrated. This is my first bike.

        The SVC people are lazy AF and will say anything and everything is normal to avoid fixing something.

        Steps to get the alignment right

        1) Loosen the axle bolt

        2) Tighten the left side adjustment bolt. (loosen the chain)

        3) If the chain tightens, keep it at the tightest point and adjust both the bolts equally to get the required slack.

        4) If the chain loosens, tighten the right side bolt (loosen the chain) and repeat the process till the chain tightens when you tighten the left side bolt.

        This works when the wheel alignment is not correct. Don't bother about the chain adjustment markers.

        For the carb setting, search "sportztourer carb tuning video" in google and follow it.

          Ayrus thanks a lot for your help. I will try fixing it.

          Can you please suggest the best RPM range ? If wrong RPM is set it this lead to jerk when it reaches high speed.

            The RPM light is just a light on the console. It has nothing to do with anything else. Default is 7k. I've set it at 8k. I usually ride at around 5k RPM.

              After watching the "sportztourer carb tuning video" I suspect that idle RPM screw should be adjusted. I suspect that svc fellows screwed it up(idle RPM screw adjustment) too.

                What idle RPM do you have after 30 mins of riding? Is it constant?

                      Ride for 15-30 mins. Stop the bike somewhere, put in neutral and observe the idle rpm. Rev till 5k rpm and release the throttle. It should drop to the idle quickly without any lag.

                        Don't know. Got it from a shop in Kerala. It's a universal visor.
