It is like that only.Its the carburretor drain pipe.There is a screw at the bottom of the carb,its the float chamber drain screw, which can be losened so that all the dirt settled at the bottom of the carb can be drained out.Just put your drain pipe inwards behind the electric starter.Originally posted by vatsa.devil View Post

Eh?Originally posted by ameyashogun View Post@Garry_Menace read the second paragraph written above your quote
Hey thanks for advice but No It's not the case i checked twice, may be tuning but i never tune B4 it's factory settings untouched (carb cleaned & put it back once in 14000k service), what to do?
& one thing more my front break fluid is showing no signs of coming down after 19000k,
rear working perfectly, is there any chance of problem in master cylinder (front)? disc checked no marking found by break pads or signs of unknown scratch, at the same time when i break scribbling sound come from both breaks (did pressure water wash no affect)
. pls guide.
Thank you
Ride safe.
Well, I didn't mention anything about tuning or carburetter in my post. Don't know what are you referring to, then.
About the other question, if your brake oil is upto the mark then why are you worried about it? And, the scribbling sound is because of the dust particles. If the pressure water thingie didn't work for you then ask the SVC guys to remove the pads, rubb them with sand paper and put them back again. Here, the dust particles are not getting washed away with the pressure water, sand paper will surely do

I have crossed 30k. Now running at 32k+...Originally posted by rider_rock View Posthow many of you have crossed 30,000 km mark on odo & did you face any problem on lil monster
The problems:
1. Even from the beginning, I had this thud sound when going over pot holes. SVC never fixed it. So took it to an outside trusted mech, who replaced the fork oil and problem vanished.
2. After installing K&N, depending on the tuning, there were missings at different ranges. When I tuned for high revs, it happened at low revs, and when tuned for low revs, it happened at high revs. Finally fixed this by upjetting
. I dont know the jet size, coz the mech modded the stock jet itself.
3. Brake fade - had this issue whenever I used to return from a long ride. The front brakes were not effective. No amount of bleeding would fix it. Then I had to replace the front disc after an incident in b'lore when I rear-ended a fellow rider and got the disc bend. The brake fade had never happened again with the new disc.
4. Eccentric sprocket - when I changed the chain and sprocket at 22k, the rear sprocket was eccentric one. Its a manufacturing defect as per my mech, but as I realized this only after some 3k, did not try to get it replaced. The chain slack was varying. at one point it would be tight and at another too loose. Finally fixed it now when I changed the chain and sprocket again (after just 9k). Now running on Rolon chain and sprockets
5. Ran into engine trouble at 27k when the oil level dropped too low mysteriously during a long ride, and mistaking the symptoms to be tappet noise continued running it. Ruined the cylinder kit and crank. After some tussle with TVS, got them replaced under warranty. My advice - check your oil levels atleast twice a month - if its dropping, either top up or replace.
6. Currently, i feel that the rear shock absorbers are a bit hard. Havent done anything about it though. Also, i suspect the clutch plates are due for change.
Otherwise the bike is in fine health.
Mods:
1. Full DC electricals - rewound stator coil, APE rr. Bixenon HID with glare cap.
2. Joels FFE (weight reduction of over 6kg!)
3. Joels Big Bore kit (190+cc engine now, in run-in)
Parts replaced:
1. Headlight reflector set - first HID was low quality and spoiled the reflector surface due to UV radiation.
2. Crash guard - twice, after crashes
3. Right RVM - forgot count
4. indicators - front right and left - after each crash.
5. Right side foot peg - after second crash.Last edited by lijok; 04-25-2011, 06:28 PM.
