To all those who have changed their accelerator/ clutch cable, what was your approx km on odo when you changed it. I usually do at every 15K km (periodic maintenance) . I know it depends on our riding style but still it would be helpful to others.

Lijo cheta, kinda OT here, but my ride is 3 years old, 63k done. Still running on stock cables, both clytch and acc. Why is it so important to carry a spare. If fixed properly, does it still run a risk of snapping ?

In the unfortunate even of a cable snap, in a remote place with no nearby help, having a backup is always good right?

First of all let me say thanks to 0mnipresent I forgot to say thanks last time when you help me.

ODO - 750km

I just want to share my short time experience with my beast with you and especially for those who complain about vibs.

I was having a hell of a vibs and noices when I got delivered my bike but I didn't do anything, I completed my partial(or may call important) run in period of 500 km under 50 km speed and also babied my bike, After my first service my bike was very better than early condition like a very good amount of vib got reduced also noices, accelaration became super smooth n powerful, so if you are in runnin in period expect worst vibs/noice but never worry it'll reduce to a greater extent after first service.

How my beast become super Noiceless/Vibless (I don't know whether it works for you or not but give it a try, Recommended for those who's in break in period)

Here are the things I've done to reduce noice/vibs and amazingly noice/vibs reduced by 70% !!!

1.) When you start your beast in the morning keep it in neutral idling for 10-25 secs at that time just give it very small revs. (To get engine temp and oil temp to operational levels, for the circulation of oil to all engine parts)

2.) Drive your first 5 mins under 4 rpm with gentle acceleration.

3.) As of my beast in run in period I used to ride under 4.5 RPM, but I take my beast at night(because I had all the runs in the day time and engine will be in perfect operational condition) and ride it using following method which is,

3.1) Gear shifts should be @ 4.5 RPM

3.2) Make use of minimum and maximum speed(within 4.5 RPM) in every gears

3.2)Gradual increase of acceleration only.

After doing this for 1 day from next day on my beast become super super butter smooth, superb accelaration and smoothness, as I've said before 70% reduced noice/vibs. I'll upload a you tube video of my beast to show it's smoothness and noiseless performance soon.


I just want to share what I found here and I'm not a pro in all these areas so pardon my mistakes and point out if you think if there's anything not good here.

Do this only after first service, till 500km try not to cross 4 RPM.

Met with an accident at 95+ kmph last evening.. auto rickshaws should be banned.. my visor of my helmet broke, leather jacket tore, front mud guard broke completely, right side foot peg broke, fork bent, handle bent, headlight housing scratched badly.

Sorry for you man.Hope you get insurance.Me too got many close calls from auto rickshaws,I still can't figure out why don't they put indicator before turning..

Hope you are fine. For high speed riding, in our country, we need super human abilities to be safe. The least we can do is learn and practice safe riding. I go and read the Art of Safe Riding section once in a while... and try to make each given tip a habit of my riding style... try it.. it works!

Glad, you were wearing the protections. Dont worry about the bike, all would be normal. Though it would pinch your pocket. But take the positive, You are all right.
foot peg and mud guard wont cost much. change the headlight glass and touch up the plactics. What did the auto wala do?? hit and run??

In 73k of ownership, I've changed the clutch cable thrice and accelerator cable twice. Still carry around a spare of each on every long ride. _____________________________________Sent from my Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 2
