Hmm... i guess i was wrong...

But my doubt is, why is this thing even there?
I know its present in all bikes but does it have some purpose?
And if it doesn't have any purpose, then why cant people design a proper fuel tank?

I'll still go with the 0.8ltr. measurement, which lie somewhere between 200mL and 1L+

Am I getting it wrong or it was really for me? If yes, I ain't Drifty

Ohh... but then why don't you just copy the emblem as it is instead of taking the pain of designing it yourself?

thanks bro hehehe now i got ur idea but ab to maine bana lia ab

In the petrol bunk,we get petrol +dust ,debris filled in to our tank..To ensure that these don't get into the carburetor the lowest level of petrol is never used...I had even got dead flies in my petrol from the bunk,and any one who had the same bike for 3 or more years will definitely see reddish mud in tank and sometimes in the carburetor bowl also.

Don't know about Anton, haven't been there before. But came to know from some guy's that Logtech is better.

And for the last part, i definitely think Yes

Anton TVS is any day better

@dj18deepak @Rtrlover83, @lijok
Thanks a lot for your inputs..

I'll post my experience with Anton TVS after my first service this week.

When was your last service done?
you can go for air filter and carb cleaning for starters.

Exactly Sir but dead flies in petrol..!:-P
Pranav,you will see a thin mesh membrane along the long rod like plastic thing attached to fuel cock,if you fully remove the whole fuel cock assembly,its there for filtration purpose.To clean the tank remove the fuel cock,drain the remaining petrol,after that clean the inside with a clean soft cloth preferrebly the 'baniyaan' type cloth.You can tie this cloth to the end of screwdriver and put it inside tank for cleaning where hands are not reachable! ;-)

Yeah Have seen many like this and in pulsars too Blue bike with white alloy , but one thing that caught my eye was a Red Apache With White Stripes(instead of stock Black) and White alloys , it was awesome like Ford GT colors

Yes dead flies in my KB100 petrol tank..I religiously clean the tank every Year to ensure that the tank remains clean and without any corrosion..Just the way you had described in the post.

is this normal as i never felt this on any other bike ???

Odo = 1140 km

I noticed this too when i twist the throttle and leave it to decelerate at 50kmph speed the clutch lever moves , told this in last service he told it because of improper clutch play and fixed it some how , but again i am getting it need to go to svc not sure if its some thing to be concerned about or not

It's kinda late to reply,but I got some views on it, so posting them. I think the clutch feels moved coz at the end of clutch, the clutch moves a bit freely, where it doesn't act at all. I think sometimes while riding the clutch just gets shifted. Had asked SVC too, He too confirmed same thing.

Also Guys, lately have been facing a total weird issue. The clutch in My bike seems to be malfunctioning. Some days back when I checked, the bike was on stand and in first gear, that time when I accelerated and pressed the clutch, the tire was still moving. Tried on-off the bike but still same. Then later on 2 days later, when I checked again, it worked perfectly well! Means the wheel stopped rotating. And when I'm riding, suppose I have to shift gear down, I press the clutch and the engine simply cuts off!! Once this happened while I was taking a turn and was damm scared!!

The issue has happened a few times only, but I feel a lot scared due to it.

**Rtrlover83** · 10-18-2011, 06:49 PM

Hey Guy's

Lately, bike is having much lag (like slightly using the brakes for a while and letting go afterwards) exactly between 3-4k Rpm when throttle used gently and gradually (when opened swiftly, this ain't happening at all

). I've had this trouble a long time ago. But some how it disappeared. Now back in full swing.
Will quality issues with fuel cause this? It might be a faulty TPS as already discussed in this thread. The tough part is that the SVC guys are reluctant to check or replace the TPS at all!

Another thing is, sometimes when the engine is turned off using the engine kill switch, the engine stops only after say, some 3 secs

Waiting for your inputs.

Yes, you can surely buy them. The logo at the handlebar can be acquired by buying the handlebar plate (yes, the one which covers the coneset) and then scraping the logo from it.

Its just for 100 INR AFAIK. About the sticker, I am not sure if one can buy stickers as single, but they're available as set.
