Guys i want to change my seats to a much wider one....what are the options available??

RTR"ed

After being a silent & an admiring spectator i am officialy inducting myself into the big league of menacers, booked d pearl white beauty today from innovative TVS ( Mumbai ), ( can see only RTR"s on the road, at my home,now my enemy wont be beaten , he shall be defeated & it was my destiny & the machine that chose me, see you guys on the track!!

Irregular response between 3k - 4k rpm

Ok My Beast's 1st birthday is Day after .. I have ridden about 8000 kms..

And yes coming to the problem, First of all Wen i cold start in the morning, the engine will be very UN-responsive!. I use choke for atleast 30 seconds. it gets better BUT even After the engine is heated up wen the rpm is lower than 4k, wen i accelerate it causes some jerk kinda(i.e no smooth response), this is only below 4k! its very annoying in traffic situations! First i thought it was because of the unclean Carburettor , then after the 4th service they had done a De carb! still the prob is there!

What might be the problem? anything related to spark-plug?

And im running on Shell Helix Ultra- fully synthetic oil.

Can't comment exactly what could be the reason. But, I've experienced like many owners, lag/hiccup problems between 2.5 to 4K Rpm when throttle opened gradually. Recently i replaced (got input from xBhp itself) the TPS (Throttle Positioning Sensor). The problem vanished. You may try it. Please post the updates.

Btw, Shell's Helix range is for cars. Never use them on motorcycles. If you want to try a FS oil from Shell, try Shell Advance Ultra 10w40.

today took it for a small ride near Airport road and i faced this problem....i filled for 80 bucks 1.06 liters approx(74.83 p\l) i could go only for 37.1 kms(80% ripping)...when the fuel got over i put for 30 bucks .41 literes approx and i could go for18.2 kms(80% ripping) which means a mileage of 45 kmpl.how come??

the mech said he fixed the carb.has the problem come up again???wtf?? please help me out guys...please

Don't know about any oil. I had the same problem sometime back when the electrolyte from the battery leaked and caused rusting on some parts below the battery. I just simply cleaned the rust with sand paper, bought a matt black spray paint and applied 2 coats of it over the parts.

Today is a sad day for me. Today, once sun rises, I'll be personally reverting back my ailing Menace to bone stock config.

Hi guys,yesterday i was riding pillion and my bike didn't go over 115m/hr.Is it because i didn't downshift and pulled it from the 5th gear itself?Then i went to the TVS A.S.S mechanic,he said that he had tuned my bike to give more mileage during the second service.I'm getting almost 45km/l in city and the bike feels pretty smooth.What may be the cause?

Why? What were the mods you were running on?

Mine is full DC - coil rewinding, ape rr etc. A mysterious hiccup problem, which is not going away even after replacing the TCI, TPS etc are forcing me to revert to stock electricals so that I can give the bike to authorized SVC to fix (Least they say the mods are the issue).

Bro, the best way to check the mileage is from reserve to reserve. When you go into reserve, reset one of the trip meters. Later when you fill up, note the quantity. The next time you go into reserve, stop, take a note of the reading (or like me, reset the other trip meter). So the kms done between these two resets divided by the amount of petrol you put in will give you the mileage. And dont just go by one checking. Do it regularly, then you'll get the hang of the average mileage of your bike. This also helps in keeping a tab on the engine health.

And if you ask me, I'll say 1L is not at all a good quantity to be checking your mileage. Put atleast 5L or above. That way you'll have a mix of all riding conditions

+1 I am also running on DC electricals with coil rewinding and APE RR but other than the engine kill not working in High beam, had no other problem. even that has mysteriously disappeared. Good Luck!

You are running lean as mentioned by your mech. If you are ok with less mileage adjust AFR and make it rich, I am also running on lean getting pretty good mileage 45kmpl but top end sucks bike wont pull after hitting 90(mine is rtr 160).

Thanks for the reply broIts been 1400kms since the 2nd service.Just checked the engine oil level with the outside mechanic,he said its low and then i went to another mechanic he said its fine.What to do?
