What we both have learnt from experience is that one should never tighten an already tight bolt...

I was talking about ruining the thread on the head... hope thats not happened here...

I guess you would have to take off the head and get the plug out by boring on a lathe. make sure you get the svc to get it done through a good workshop if it comes to that.

Guys seems like this time i was lucky and a little talk with her solved the probelm.

Took her to a local mech and he too suggested that now the head need to be taken off and all kind of stuffs. He was busy on another bike so I thought lets give a last try before the head thing.
Tried with different L keys, and one did moved the broken spark plug a little.

Tried for another two minutes and the broken spark plug came out a little more from the head. Told the busy mech about this and asked him to take off the tank from the bike so that i can have some space.

He took a screwdriver and placed it on spark plug and unscrewed it out from the head

We put back an old spare spark plug and here she is roaring again.

Came back home, washed her and gave her a nice polish and I dont know what happened but now all the problems are gone.

Earlier i was having Severe hiccup problems but after this incident
ALL IS WELL

and she started flying again.

After installing the exhaust, i did not check the mileage yet. It's Lijok who said about the increased mileage.

Website of Race Concepts is www.raceconcepts.in
Shoot a mail to Joel and he would promptly give you the details. His e-mail id is there on the website

@Rtrlover83: how much did the ffe cost?

I think, it will. Even with the stock gearing one could reach speeds of up to 138kph. But not all of us do anything above 125-130kph on our stock bikes. I think with a FFE it will make those numbers come faster.

PS: My friend was able to hit 135kph on my RTR a month back. So, please neglect the posts in which I complained about my sufferings related to bike's top; it might be because I chicken out too soon. !

Good, for the bold part

Rest, abbe... Even I'm saying that it will increase the acceleration (not just initial but the overall acceleration, which in other words mean decrease in the time taken to reach top speed). I said it won't increase the top speed of the bike. :P

You can DEFINITELY go along with a pillion.
P.S. never ride tripples its dangerous and spoils your bike

thankz for the reply saipranav
PS
please tell me wen do i have to get the first oil change... is it at 200km i read it on **********..
if yes.. then how...
cuz i m sure i dont know how to do it... m totally amateur .. cuz first service would be at 400 km then how willl i b able to change it before 400 i.e 200km
should i go to some local repairing shops.. but i doubt them as good mechanix.. plz help...

**Rtrlover83** · 10-24-2011, 10:43 PM

^^^
Relax buddy

Will share my thoughts too.
Yeah, it's good to replace oil and oil filter at 250km. I think you should go to the SVC for getting this done. This can be carried out before your 1st service which would be due at 1 month or 500-750km whichever is earlier.

And remember to do the 1st service at the right time itself.

P.S. Kindly try avoiding SMS Lingo's.
