    Mine is still good at 40k. Depends on a lot of factor. Luck being one big one considering RE. Recommend use correct tyre pressures for proper shock absorber feedback. And of course check for leaks as the rear one is a gas shock.

      Compared to my other motorcycle, the clutch engages very high up. In other words just about when the lever is almost nearing full release.......whereas in case of my 09 karizma, the clutch would enage as soon as the lever is half released..
      Is it common with all bullets?
      What should i check for?
      You need to adjust the clutch wire nut at the spring loaded lever on the left hand side of the engine casing. It's located just beside the starter motor.

        Tried doing but still there is considerable free play and the clutch engages nearly to full lever

If you are facing any pickup problem or decompression problem you should check out your tappet and valve push rod assembly. At 50k things may need replacement. There is another rattling noise in the background. Can't make out what that is may be a loose section.

          Just out of curiosity is the media recorded when the engine was cold?
          Yes, the engine was cold when i had recorded but i had kept my cell almost next to the engine ( So the tappet noise is more ). No Problem as such only the noise , Yes the another rattling noise is what i'm taking about, its very minimal but its very irritating.

          The sound is more or less the same even when the engine is heated.

            The adjuster arrangement has two nuts. Sometimes you might have to remove one nut all together. Sometimes the cable is just a bit short or long. Have to try different arrangement. Mine worked this way after I removed the top nut.

              I'm getting some unusual noise from my TBTS, its very irritating. The SVC Guys said that its tappet noise but i have my doubts on that.

              Bike : TBTS 09 model
              ODO : 50k
              Serviced every 4k kms
              Last serviced at 300 kms back
              Noise started to appear 500 kms back

                Well the sound comes at equal interval. I think it might be simple loose part but should be thoroughly checked. No experience here.

                    NGK CR2 Racing Cables for Thunderbird 350

                    Hi Friends,

                    This is my query regarding NGK racing cables.

                    I m going to upgrade stock spark plugs to NGK IRIDIUM for my Thunderbird 350 nxt wk. Recently i heard @ NGK Racing cables from my friend.

                    Are these cables are effective in increasing performance of my bike considerably?

                    Please throw some light & guide me.

                      Recently bought a TBTS 350 ( 3 days old ). The headlight beam is too low and upon checking with service centre, they mentioned it can't be adjusted in TBTS. Any of you faced this problem and possible suggestions ?

                        It can be adjusted with the losing the nut below the headlight. Try DIY. Don't believe everything service center says, they don't have the bike, U have.... 😜

                          Thank you. Yes tried that and I think the clamp design is the problem. One of my friend have suggested me to get a redesigned clamp from Service Center ( Embedded link shared by him ). Let me give it a try. Currently I am running without the Clamp. I am sure it will end up in alignment change, but can't live with the clamp.

                            [QUOTE=lightpower;1276308]Thank you. Yes tried that and I think the clamp design is the problem.

                            OK, what I did wz I removed the clamp below the headlight & straighted it up a little bit to get the gap I need to adjust the nut FORWARD. Worked for me.

                                since i already have 180cc i m looking for bike 250+cc bike.
