    Slightly more, it'll dent the economy by overall of 2-3kmpl, but it'll smoothen the shifts like anything.

    1. Resist rear wheel lockups.
    2. Keeps you bikes flow smooth. You will appreciate this if you downshift when cornering. If you dont blip your throttle, you will feel your bike's balance is upset.

    Are you disengaging the clutch completely when shifting? Try to roll off the throttle completely when shifting. Also check the clutch lever play.
    Blipping the throttle or matching the revs technique smoothnes out the shifts, as it takes the lower gear close to the current RPM of the engine.

    Just before the turn downshifting is not recommended,(just cuz of the fear of the wheel lockup) always get into the correct gear atleast 10 meters before the lean.

    If you're not into wheelies and burnouts you just cannot fcuk the clutch at 8800kms..
    And like i always say- "lend the last surviving ear to the dumb SC guy"

    pull the bike to 8000RPM in 2 gear engage 3 while depressing clutch fully and if the bike revs first then surges forward (gap of a sec or so) your plates are gone, and if it just gives you a bang at the upshift like the RTR gives, your plates are perfectly fine.

      @ALL:

      All the guys who are facing hiccups problems in their respective bikes get your diaphram's spring checked, it might be the culprit.

      Also get the diaphram checked for currect fitment, around the circumfrence.

          You mean shifting (up or down) into a corner is not recommended. I wasnt saying that either. I said when entering a corner.

            So that makes the clutch plate the culprit isnt it?

            I will try that out. Can it be that the clutch plates are ok but the pressure plate is the culprit?

              it will give out the same symptoms like i said, and if the pressure plates are gone you have to replace it with the clutch plates, but take my word for it, they are perfectly fine.

                Then why the vibrations which were non existent before above 5k?

                  A worn out cutch plate will give you "juddring" not vibrations.
                  Vibrations are the part of the RTR mill, may be these are the one's waiting to get "errupted" at 5000RPM.

                        If the main jet holder is not tightened well, then also it will give hiccups.
                        There's lot to it other than saddle....

                          What about the diaphram buddy??
                          i think the main diaphram supplied might be hard or getting crickled over the period of time from the cuircumfrence and might be arising this issue.

                            Diaphram will not give issue till it is teared. Minute leakage from perifery will affect progressive throttle opening (practically very dificult to feel) and not quick throttle opening.

                              I think some kind of vaccum is created inside the carb which results in hiccups.

                              Just a wild guess!!
