As i had mentioned earlier, there's some intermittent "klink-klink" sound that i can notice during idling. The SVC engineer said its some bearing issue of the cam shaft. He said he'll replace the whole cam shaft and would take a week for the part to be delivered and half a day to fit. Hope fully that fixes the issue !! Its been just 2 months since i bought the bike and getting a part from the engine replaced.. Damn !! I know, its not a big deal and some times such stuff happen. But part replacement on a 2 month old bike doesn't seem good !!

Time to time servicing and thats all. Recently my rear shock absorber has gone kaput, now it is running on Pulsar 180 shock absorber because RTR rear shocks are not available in Kolkata and I have changed my sprocket sets which lasted for 30K

. Rest are all in mint condition even i have never changed my clutch plates. Really a reliable machine.

K&N Air Filter

Hey guys,

Research says some did fit R-1100, RC-1060 is it the direct fitment or need to adjust something? Can Good Service center Guy will able to do it?

RC1060 - remove pipe from Air box to Carb and fit directly to carb. Remove clean and oil it every 5k kms. Carb tuning to compensate increased airflow will suffice.

RC 1060 model K&N air filter is mostly used.You can fit it either directly on the carb by removing the air box or in the stock air box itself.But 'K&N directly on the carb + upjetting + tunning the carb & setting correct AF ratio' will give you performance gain,otherwise you are good to go by placing the air filter in the air box,if you want that typical bass growl of K&N.TVS SC guys wont do it,you will have to get it done from an expert mechanic who knows this tunning stuff very well.
Regarding engine oil,yes your friend can use FS oil in his RTR now as the odo is nearing 8k kms.

Bro.. if you are worried about engine life, then you should not be doing these... :P. When the engine is designed, the AFR is kept in mind with the stock design of air filter and carb etc. By using a K&N, you are increasing the airflow and to compensate the AFR, the carb also needs adjusting. So that mean the engine works with more air and fuel than stock... One cannot say that it does not affect the engine at all...

BTW, I've also done the upjetting at a later time. And if you fit the filter in the air box, the grunt sound wont be there...

Sorry buddy,I dont know the best mechs at your place,but I have a heard a lot about Reddys @Malad.He has a good reputation of an expert mechanic in Mumbai.
You can fit the air filter in stock air box.For that,you have to attach a tube at the open end of the air filter which fits in the hole inside the air box.Dont put the hexagonal air box cover again,leave it open,there you go.Now rev the bike and you will hear the induction roar(bass growl). :-P
Any performance mod will lead to lesser life of engine.

Faulty coneset

I am getting a tik-tik sound from the front when ever I ride over rough roads. The SC mech says the coneset is gone and needs to be replaced. He quoted around 300+labour.

Is it covered under warranty
