right

that second intake or ie surge in tvs language work only when throttle is suddenly opened to make the mixture lean and give the instant throttle response to bike.
you can see that round little thing where exhaust is attached to engine head
and the extra two pipes are going from airbox.

Yes now the brake pads are settling down but the free play at the front brake lever has increased to a great extent. The free play is almost to half of the full movement. Can we fix this free play issue by any means?

The tappets are also settling down as an integral part of the engine.The inlet tappet clearance is 0.06 and exhaust is 0.08.If it is more the tappet sound is more audible.The adjustment is done by opening the tappet door screw and adjusting......no need to open the engine and is a minor and routine work.

TRU4 Premium 4T 10W30 Engine Oil by TVS

Guys are you all aware for this TRU4 Premium 4T 10W30 Engine Oil by TVS? But i guess most of the TVS bikes need xW40 grade engine oil. So this means we can not put this oil in our bike right?
And i think without telling us the ASS people are putting this oil in our bikes, as nowadays they are charging more for the engine oil.

True top speed according to TVS is 125km/hr.

Its due to the dist particles accumulated. High pressure water splash washing will do...
