Hi guys, didn't rode my bike for 5 days,i am facing a problem.There is a misfire/lag exactly at 3k-4k rpm, and no such thing at other rpms and the lag decreases as i ride the bike for say,4 kms or so

What might be the issue?

@krish, please do go back in the thread and see if any of us have replied to your query.

^^ have you checked the idiling rpm? It should be around 1300-1400, check and do post and I hope the throttle wire has been adjusted properly. There needs to be some mm of play in that too, don't remember it but the svc knows

P.S : Wrong body positioning in your display picture

its okay now.. din hav a prob today. guess it was some power shortage or sorts because even the clock rest itself.

sorry ant the posture.. made a big mistake ter. *a fellow xbhpian Sudeep (a frnd) gave me quite a direction on that :|

and i think i do it right(leaning inwards) now, had a lot of time to practce cornering ( on deserted roads and did a practical run during my trip from trivandrum to kochi on thursday)

hhhmm :-) Good to know that

**dead_piper** · 07-29-2012, 10:07 PM

hey guys remember the problem i was facing last week about bike losing power n stalling???
i found the problem. its a simple problem n i feel stupid for not noticing. MY FUEL HOSE WAS TORN N FUEL WAS LEAKING. carb wasnt getting enough fuel. this explains why it was proper when i pulled choke.

@vivekgautams rajkumar road bridgestone tvs is pretty famous. come to the area and ask ppl. they'll guide you. btw which are you gonna come from?

**shahbaz63** · 07-29-2012, 10:14 PM

@Dead ripper -Good to know you have solved it

but Guys One question here when does Fuel Lamp becomes ON (Yellow)? I have never seen it glowing ??

I have installed Fuel Lock & I have to switch on Reserve very early dont know why but it happens, when I open fuel Lock to see petrol level it seems to be pretty Good more then 2 liters... And one more thing how much bars in Fuel Level means we have to switch on Reserve ? I have to switch to Reserve When there 2/3 Bars are still there And AFAIK our Fuel meter shows Full & Reserve Threshold :|

Lol ! You didnt get any petrol smell ?

@vivek its right after HP petrol bunk when coming from link Road

@shabaz Fuel Indicator shows reserve as well if its functioning properly. When its in reserve the last bar constantly blinks. And the yellow light glows when less than 1 or 1.5ltrs are there in tank. Get your sensors checked.

**shahbaz63** · 07-29-2012, 10:44 PM

Even if Sensors working wrong why i have to switch to reserve if there is more then 3 liter in Tank ?

I Guess even if sensor working wrong it doesn't mean i have to switch to reserve practically even if there is more then 2.5 liter available in tank.

**dead_piper** · 07-29-2012, 11:51 PM

nahhh didnt smell anything. even today i didnt smell anything. i just bent over to adjust idling and found some residues on my carb n surrounding areas. thats when found it. then my mech had some pulsar fuel tube lying around n i jus cut it n put to mine.

@shahbaz- light glows up only after the bars displayin fuel level vanish. it doesnt show that u r in reserve it jus indicates that u r running short of fuel. tvs say reserve is 2.5 litres but light glows when u have lil over a litre remaining.
do check with others.

Wash the bike, polish it with oil/diesel, dry the bike & again smear oil on the bike just before delivery is the TVS svc objective for service..
2 days back I went to get my bike's tappets adjusted & get a oil leak fixed & my front brakes back in action... I realized that in the previous service ,the cylinder head which is held by 4 nuts, was not tightened at all ...

The front brakes need bleeding, the genius mech. took a spanner loosened the bleeder nut, squirted the brake fluid on the disc&wheel..

The best part is TVS calls for "Feed-back" of the service

..You can imagine MY "Feed-back"

This is Megdooth SVC, Ulsoor & Cox Town.. The next service would be done in Srigiri TVS SVC in Tumkur.. Its opposite my college, so I can bunk a few classes & get my bike properly serviced..
OR in another month or so I'l learn & service my bike on my own..

Krrishi - I told it before i spend whole day for servicing standing infront of them like mentor otherwise they didnt even wash bike properly...

All they do is Oil Change Filter Change Normal Wash & replacement if you have said something ....

The things which were basics but i told them to do was Brake Check, Nut Bolts Check/tightened/ Mirror Tightening

Every SVC has expert mechs(certitifed by TVS) and trainees. If somethings not done proper talk to the floor manager ask for expert mech. And when they call for feedback if you give negative feedback they will ask you to come over and make sure its fixed.

Still if you are not happy I suggest you take your bike to Bridgestone (rajkumar road) or Zen Shakti TVS in rajajinagar.

I'v spoken to all possible mechanics in both the SVC..As soon as I reach the SVC I speak to the supervisor(who seems interested in listening to complains) BUT still service is crap.. After the feed back calls i'v revisited the SVC & the no care attitude starts off as usual..(I have mentioned the stupid mistakes made & overlooked by mech. in my few previous post)
Please help me out with the exact location (any land marks) of Bridgestone (rajkumar road) or Zen Shakti TVS in rajajinagar,I'v traveled many times on Rajkumar road but was unable to find the Bridgestone.

Guys, based on my 5 years of experience on all the RTR series and 4 SVSs, i know the standard of their knowledge and hospitality we get from those morons. However, not everybody is same. In pursuit, i switched to different SVCs and swapped alot of mechs. Here is the verdict:

Always assume you are more intellect than any other mechanic in SVC and talk to them in the stubborn way. The more you demand, the better ur bike wud be. After a lot of research or mechs, i've finally sticked to one mech, in Bharath TVS, Jayanagar. He's smart enuf in knowledge (though its purely based on his experience) and more importantly, he'll hv interaction with other senior mechs, once he takes ur bike in his favor. It's been 3rd year with him now on all different Apaches of mine and he has done a pretty decent job. I would recommend him u all to get things resolved. All in all, we can rely on him for the solution of whatever issues we have.

I always give him an entire day for servicing, and he has always done a fair job on my bike and resolved most of my issues.

I had promised of posting the picture for the humming noise from rear disc on several ABS. I too had the same issue, which has been resolved through a weird but efficient solution of knotting the break cable on to the swing arm. Here is the pic...
