Bro, i don't have much knowledge on this too

but, will share what I've known. Please correct me if wrong, anyone.

Confirm if this leak could be stopped without opening the engine head (the upper half part of the engine).If at all the engine needs to be opened, then go for decarb too. But make sure they do the job in the best possible way. You should check for leaks after that.

@All: Decarbonise the cylinder head/piston ONLY if it needs to be done, high time. Some signs are very very poor pickup, engine rpm going up and down significantly. Improper handling of this job would cause the engine head to leak oil for sure which will be a real head ache. Also, not sure if the repacking could match the original factory fitted one.

If the leakage is just from the cylinder head, then its not a big problem might be the O rings for the tappet cover have weared out.

adding WD40 is solution only if Water is the problem & it licks black color liquid too on your scoop better tell them directly that "You've tried cleaning it adding WD 40 & all thrice or may be more then that but still it's not working as it should be" .. That's it.

My bike's switch is back to normal, din't do any thing with it,now it started to turn OFF the engine as normal..

As Rtrlover said, consider if you need to really open the engine. In case you are opening the block, in addition to what he mentioned, check for your piston seating too. In most cases, the 'leak' is just superficial and the wrong seating will be the culprit.

And go for decarbonisation only if you have problems like bad mileage, stalling, misfiring, early blackening of oil etc and when other solutionss like carb cleaning, oil/oil filter change, spark plug cleaning/replacement are not working.

Regarding Decarbonsing, either you can scrap the deposits or the best way is to add decarbonsier flushers and clean the engine properly.

Nope. That would be messing around with the handling of the bike directly! Big no. But if you really wanna give it a go, the p135 or 125st huggers have one hugger attached in that fashion. That would be the place to start.

I dint mean fitting the hugger on to the axle

I meant it as an extension. Anyways going to try with the Honda Stunner Rear Hugger.

If you really want to know, disconnect the battery [MUST], remove the two screws under the right cluster set and open it. Some dirt/insect/deposits will be causing the issue.

The bike is under warranty for 24 months OR 30,000km( whichever completes earlier) & the manufacturer decides IF the component will be replaced under warranty (IF it is a manufacturing fault) OR else you will have to pay..

The tappets can be tightened..The vibrations & the sound will decrease.. An overall servicing & tightening of all nuts will further reduce the vibes.Using Fully synthetic oil will decrease the vibrations more..
A race filter has reduced the vibrations on my bike.. & I read in a post,that the choke cable causes the unwanted vibrations..

**pranav_salieri** · 11-18-2012, 11:25 PM

but recently serviced my bike about a month ago.....they should have tightened everything including the tappets.they might not have done it..last time i gave my bike for servicing in nagharbhavi (some tvs svc there) usually i give it triton...

Thank you very much i will go and check it Tommorow once i go to the mechanic. I have seen many videos where people have used some sort of liquid on the piston head and the results were wonderful.

Check your user manual. Everything that has to be done will be there. Make sure you get all of it done regardless of what svc people say. Also, Id you have any particular problems, get those fixed.
