    Is it good to change?Will there be any problem while i resale my bike if i replace the spares?Please advice,
    Get it changed under warranty. But before that make them diagnose the bike rather than you telling them that so & so issues are there..
    Its never going to effect your resale value as long as there is no such issues while selling your bike.

    Does this noise increase after you ride 10-15 km compared to colder engine? Does the frequency of noise increase as you rev it up?
    @pcgamer ok thanks and yes the ticking sound is heard when i ride my bike for a long distance like 10-15kms a day and it gets increased if i rev high..

    I hope you are not talking about the tick sound you hear after turning of the engine & parking it after a ride.
    The cheeking sound from disc brakes are common if there are dirt particles between the disc pads.
    It can be resolved by flushing water with force on to disc pads.

    Test ride one before you make a decision..



    Wobbling issue can occur due to improper tire pressure & if wheel balancing is not correct...regarding tak sound while going on potholes check if the chain is loose & also the forks..

    FI models are stopped. Only carb versions are available right now.
    Your Hyperedge is carbed one..
    I'm also using the same model..
    Till first servicing never increase your speed above 60..Also dont ride in constant speed for long..city riding will be the best for better run-in...
    Mileage depends how sanely you drive the bike...If you keep within 5k rpm & no fast fast accelerations you will get better mileage..

    Last service done : December 2012.
    The following are my problems,

    1.When i am at a speed of 60kmph,and when the hands are off from the handle bars,it starts wobbling(problem persist from a month).
    And when i am at the speed of below and above 60kmph,this problem doesn't exist.Its only at 60kmph.

    2.The front fork sounds "tak" when it goes on a pathole or humps.Its annoying me a lot.

    3.There is a ticking sound in the spark plug(Don't know exactly from where the sound comes from).But its around the spark plug only.

    4.There is a cheeing sound both in front disc and rear drum breaks when i take the bike in reverse.

    So the experts over here please help me solve the problems.

    Thank You.

    Hello everyone,

    My bike has some serious problem I guess, wobbling at 45-65kmph eventually it decreases. I went to a local mechanic. He had changed the cone set and then fork oil. Still no improvement. So he asked me to change the tyres. And I had changed the tyres as well as tubes(both front and rear). Still problem exists. So I rushed into TVS service center and I requested them to change the wheel set from another bike. And they did it for front wheel alone. Now they are saying the problem is with RIM.     But I don't feel the RIM is bad.

    What could be the problem? Please help me out guys/experts!!

    Thanks in Advance!!!

    Sounds like issue with diaphragm, it may have hardened/cracked or might have a pin hole.
    if it has a pin hole, you can patch it but its a temp fix.
    Get the diaphragm checked/changed. Costs around 650/-
