Guys, a minor issue on my bike. Ive been using the Philips 55W bulb since a long time and ever since I bought it, it flickers (slightly) when i switch the indicators on while riding. I initially thought that the battery wouldn't support it and so did not bother much. But I noticed today that it doesnt flicker when on idle. My further t/s led to the conclusion that the headlight flickers (with the indicators ON) only when the engine revs to more than 4K RPM.
Any suggestions/pointers to get this fixed?It's always better to lose a second in life than to lose life in a second!

Hey guys will putting an angel light in my bike void my warranty???When I Ride my bike I don't feel like a common man.
I feel special.
I feel something which is beyond words.
That is the thing which makes my bike special, me special, the whole ride seem exceptional .

They will pull you down if you play anything around with the electricals (i.e in case you have any issues in the bike). When ever you're visiting the SVC for any issue, make sure to get the angel out (if its possible) and then it shouldnt be a problem!Originally posted by achu View PostHey guys will putting an angel light in my bike void my warranty???It's always better to lose a second in life than to lose life in a second!

thanks everyone, finally decided buying
ls2 helmet
cramster trg2 gloves
cramster knee and elbow guards
balaclava (head mask)
a armoured jacket will be in the list later due to tight pocket.
Took the bike from svc, didnt claim the insurance, as i dont have to ride in the night here, i got the lighting setup changed. As the head light,front mudguard,visor,indicator, housing, hid's had gone for a toss and svc gave an estimate of abt 5k i thought to not waste money there now and buy gears first. Took the bike to my modifier he removed all of the front and installed a metal plate in the front along with 2 dlaa rainbow yellow lights. Along with a cover of fz glass over it and the metal plate which hides all the wires was given matt black stickering. The setup looks super sexy in day time .
Now there is one problem im facing with it, the h3 type fog lights are very dim when run normally on ac i.e when the bike is on but when we put the pass light on they are very beight. Can someone tell me whts the exact problem. Will post pics of the bike soon.

I Have a fracture so I am not able to ride my bike, but I usually start the bike and keep it on neutral for 10 - 15 minutes, but today I pulled in the clutch and engaged the 1st gear and the rear started to spin and that to with the clutch pulled in
Is this normal ???

I read somewhere on xbhp that its normal this happens due to drag in the engine oil and should not happen once the oil has heated up.Originally posted by Viscmad View PostI Have a fracture so I am not able to ride my bike, but I usually start the bike and keep it on neutral for 10 - 15 minutes, but today I pulled in the clutch and engaged the 1st gear and the rear started to spin and that to with the clutch pulled in

Did the wheel spin off the main stand or when it was on the tarmac ?........
on the main stand is normal..it is due to minimal clutch friction in all bikes.When Was The Last Time,You Did Something For The First Time.

Shiwaan what was the carb tuning done for ? for FE or for performance ?Was the Chain and sprocket tightened and lubricated ?...If your carb was tuned for FE and/or chain slack tightened slightly tight and not lubed properly ,then your top end is likely to be reduced..Originally posted by shiwaan View Postbro i have done with my service 24 days back (sory for late reply i was busy the studies) odo meter reading was 2185 and tuned my card and the changed the engine oil tvs true 4 u semi synthetic 10w40
