    Now the remedy is to make everything that could be amiss on the bike alright and check them one by one . Starting with the wrong grade and type of oil you are using at present . We cannot say from here what oil is available to you so just look for a motorcycle oil(marked JASO on the pack) grade should be either 15w50 or 20w50 and it should be mineral oil only . This info would be written right on the label , so go to a reliable oil-shop or petrol-pump and ask for the bottle and read it and you should be fine .
    Actually i went to 3 different mechanics.they said ---- >
    1st mechanic- Your engine needs to be opened and we have to set a barring which is not working correctly thats why engine is making sound.Estimated cost to be 2000-2500.

    2nd mechanic- Your clutch plate isnt fine at all needs replacement.Good quality--600/- medium 430/- cheap 220/-

    3rd mechanic-Your clutch plate isnt fine at all needs replacement.price 620/-
    so i want to kick 1st mechanic's ass off!! :P
    I suppose clutch plate is the thing that is creating problem. Will get it replaced by tomorrow.!!
    I Bought the MOTUL 3000 4T 15W50(MINERAL OIL) at rs 275/- .Hey. please tell me whats its price in your region??
    So after clutch plate replacement i will post here again.. whats your opinion?

      you are good to go with toe shifter,why bother to revert back to old pattern shifter?

      I would prefer old toe heel shifter as I dont want to spoil my shoes when going to office.....

      oil leakages from gasket ??never faced any.

      thanks for clarifying. But some people on same thread reported of oil issues in 1st gen P135 LS.

      vibrations are present in between 4500 rpm to 65oo rpm,resonance vibes,can't do nothing about it.

      To be very frank....I do not know what people mean by vibrations, still asked it as it is one of things thats discussed a lot in reviews . my current rides are Enfield 350 and CBZ classic, never felt any VIBES even on speed ~100 KMPH .

      last fe i got within city is 58.7 kmpl.

      it's been 5 months and 12,145 km, those mileage have been pure bliss.

      Thanks for reaffirming by belief ! It is indeed very good mileage.
      Hi Sayank, thanks for reply. My comments are in bold.

        Thanks for the appreciation bro...as regards the preload adjustments, I sweet talked the service center guys into adjusting it for me...the adjuster i presume as its called is supplied as part of the kit with the bigger horses from Bajaj's stable..i think it looks somewhat like this: Click image for larger version

          spoiled shoes are major drawback of this toe-shift mechanism,i agree.
          you can always use shifting-socks for that.
          manytimes people confuse roughness with vibes.the vibes are definitely present inbetween 4500 rp to 6000 rpm,as i said those are resonance vibes.every bikes have it.
          and the question remains why do i race?

          • hi guys, currently i'm using my cousin's p135. he wants to get a free flow exhaust for his bike where can we get this in kolkata (real one's which do optimise performance). the bike currently has ram air intake system installed and does 117 true top speed (GPS indicated not speedo; in speedo its 127)

                for god's sake it is 135 cc mill churning out enough bhp,why soup it up with ffe[the wellington ones]?

                  ok...but I think it would be much better if toe heel lever can be fitted by some fixes...

                    Well, I never got 50 here.. Like I said, sad place I'm stuck at.. But I've been suggested this so let me try it out.. working nicely since.. I also inquired more on Valvoline that U'd suggest. Will probably try that next. But the thing is, I'm in love- with the baby duke
                    I dunno how long can I resist..

                    Yes, I agree.. Vibes will be present in almost all the Indian Bikes. Reasons being many..
                    But as this bike has a 4-valve, very compact & light engine, with not enough or proper materials to damp, the vibes are very well felt.

                    Yes, I agree. & the main reason that the vibes are felt much more than in other bikes is because it's a 4-valve, pretty compact engine with not effective parts to damp or hold off the vibes. It won't do much damage, but if not taken care of, might lead to problems sooner or later.

                      Please can you tell me how you(or your cousin)managed to get a RAM air intake on a puny 135 cc carburetted bike

                        RAM-air intake is mostly recommended for high performance engines, higher displacement & power ones to be right. These are some heavy stuff.. Has it's ups, but if not done/installed right, or neglecting the right measures to be taken along it's installation, might cost u the engine. They have certain pre-set timings & all which can't be easily tampered with. U might get the performance for a while, but it's also gonna hurt Ur engine bad. Putting in massive & quick air flow with the mixture in the cylinder won't result in complete combustion & utilization of it unless mapped or timed right. If that's done, then U'd probably get over 130kmph or so, actual speed ( GPS indicated ). Get the details checked for the benefit of the bike.

                          It would be a treat if you upload a pic of RAM-Air intake.

                          • Guys, When exactly/approximately do u change the clutch plate on the P135LS??
                            9k on the odo, mostly city riding, small town so no where near harsh or rushed riding, did tour on it a few times, no signs of concerning problem yet, just outta curiosity..

                              well i just sold out my 135.it had clocked 13000 km+,it badly needed change of clutch plate,the obvious reasons being some wheelies and burn-outs.but i guess it can last more if you are not clutch-riding.
                              and the question remains why do i race?

                                I am planning to sell it off too, bit sad abt it but I guess I have to if I wanna upgrade.. Mostly To Duke , but gonna wait out till they release the spec & price details on the new yamaha 250cc bike.
