Fi woes continue... bike turning of, missing power, tank heating up, jerking (like its choking)

went to service center today. svc guy said he will have to replace the FI unit and related parts. covered under warranty. but no parts available now. have to wait one week for the parts. and then 2-3 days for the repairs.

i just hope the issue is resolved after that.
btw, how long is the warranty on the bike?

Now, the leakage is noticeable, can I wait for 1-2 days with this leakage. Havent noticed any jerky performance in front shox. Please guide me.

If you can feel the heat of engine to the tank, then this can be a problem. Check Engine Oil.

About fitting a plastic cowl on the rear seat, I had a try (after looking the details of R15's cover) with frame type sculpture, but the fitting at the tail-side wud be a problem, as the seat lock wont be closed until we push it from top. This force might damage the seat cover or the plastic cover itself.

i can feel the hot air on my legs, after riding the bike 200m or so, tank doesnot get heat up by this,
would have definately fitted rear seat cover if it can be fitted on it

engine heating up in this summer is normal, but within 1 km in not so. check the oil first.

Hi guys,

I bought a yellow RTR FI two weeks back

Im in love with it

I have some concerns though.

1. I'm getting only 35-38kmpl currently. Finished 300km. Im not overdoing it either - Im always in 2k-4k rpm range and below 50kmph. Petrol is of high quality too. Whats wrong???

2. Until now, 3-4 times this has happened. In 4th gear at around 3500-4000 rpm, suddenly exhaust sound and rpm increased (to about 5000 rpm) but acceleration stopped. After couple of seconds its fine again. Is this what people say engine misfiring?? Why does this happen??? How to fix it??

3. The foot pegs are of such low quality. Especially rear ones. Its very loose too. My ooooold Splendor has much sturdier and stable rear footpegs!!!

4. Is it legal to change number plate to nicer one where the font of numbers is professional looking (yet very readable - in fact more than this hand written number plate) which has in-built lighting and all???

Thanks guys in advance

Almost 60~75% of the parts on his bike are new

Under warranty of course

If Venu Srinivasan took his bike to the svc centre where Satish goes, they would probably ask him to come back the next day, coz they're replacing something on Satish's bike.

WOW! am famous

Make sure that the fork oil does'nt reach the disc plate and the caliper. Else u'll have a tough time getting back the awesome braking!

I stopped bothereing abt the fuel gauge sometime back. now i only use it to hve an approx idea. else i'll always calculate using reserve to reserve.

either there might be a loose connection some where or the gauge might have concked off!

I was thinking of redesigning the rectifier part for fast charging of the battery. Any ways after enquiring to one of the best service engineer in Kolkata, he told me that RTR's magneto has two separate units for producing light and charging the battery. He also added that if i can manage the rectifier thing to support extra power it will definitely charge the battery faster, so if I want to connect the headlight i.e. a 55/60 bulb directly from battery, I have to route the light generating part of the magneto to provide extra power to rectifier. Now he also added that I may need to replace the battery with the ZMA one, although both are 9 ah battery, but ZMA battery has more power holding capacity then ours. No Idea about the same. Can u guys put some light on this new issue, of ZMA'a stronger battery, which is also smaller in size?

hmm , well its like the holding capacity depends on the number of plates per cell so thats the thing , dunno exactly whats the rating of zma , i think better battery like exide 9ah or i have seen some 10 ah battery as well , one more thing , recently i have came to know some new type of battery has arrived in market which have some electronic circuit in it instead of traditional plates and electrolite etc , so might try that as well it gets fully charged super fast in minutes , might enquire about this product
