Recently my bike is producing some strange noise from drive chain area, something like kat..kat... initially for few secs ONLY WHEN I ACCELERATE

1) I thought this sound might be due to dry chain. Tried lubricating the chain but no help.
2) This noise comes up only when i accelerate. I confirmed this by riding in downhill. No sound when not accelerated.
The moment i turn up the accelerator this sound shows up for first few secs (hmmm....may be after that too but i'm not hearing anything post that due to wind noise at speeds above that).

Anyone faced this issue? What it could be?

How much kms has the chain kit run bro? Coz I've seen many bikes with worn front/rear sprocket making the same noise when accelerating the bike.

8100KM - 3 years old bike

Is the 15T front sprocket of pulsar a direct fit? If not then what are the changes that need to be done?
And can you please tell me the speed at 4krpm and 7k rpm?

Yep. Faced the same. Over and over. Check your chain for malformed links. I had a broken link while riding once. Was a miracle nothing happened to me.

Thanks mate.
I will check for any damaged chain link.
Normally how much is the life of a chain?

Hey, hope you din sustain major injuries? Take care
The gear shifter may have gotten bent during the fall.. You might have to change it if its bent. Get it checked at svc.

Can someone pls help me out, for a good mobile holder for my rtr? Some of them I have tried from my friends but they do not fit the clip on handlebars of the rtr..

Hey andy. Try the rynox mobile phone holder. Attaching a mobile holder on our handlebars is a hard job as we have clipons & hardly 2 inches of the handlebar is open for fitment.

Hi All. Forgive me for the long post. I am facing an issue with my 3 month old rtr 180 abs version. I ve gone through this forum. Please dont be rude that Ive not done it. I am not sure about what I should do now.Detailing the issue below.

Visit 1 to Service Centre - For second Service

No Issues as of now. Had just gone to get the scheduled service done at around 2.5kms at At 2500km i had given for second service, at the ramkay tvs medavakkam .Service done and bike was delivered.
On returning, I started facing the famous hiccup and stall issue on my rtr 180 .he bike has hiccups near about 3-4k rpm in 3rd and 4th gears. Also in lower gears with sudden increase in throttle.
I had no such issues until my 2nd service. SVC has screwed up something.
Visit 2 :
The bike had hiccups while riding. I went and detailed the issue to an engineer and he took the bike for a spin and said that there are no issues and they wont touch the carb during service , unless complained.
Visit 3:
In a weeks time the hiccups increased and at the end it didnt even start in the mornings. So i had the bike taken to the service station in a carrier vehicle and they said there is dust in the carb. It has been cleaned and the issue wont occur.
Visit 4:
On the very next day i was able to feel the issue again. When i took it to service centre the issue was not occcuring for some reason. So the guys asked me to come only when i could show the issue to them.

I am worried about this state of my 3 month old bike. Should i tune the carb myself following the online instructions.
My current carb tune done by the svc guys is 1.5 turns from the leanest possible mixture. Is 1.5 turns normal or too lean.

Is there any factory number of turns or revolutions of the fuel screw like 2 or 3 for the rtr 180?

Or should i hunt for some other service center. Help Please
