    does your bike misfire when you leave throttle at high RPms or when you shift gears ? my bike also used to misfire sometimes but after setting right A/fuel mix it has stopped . i dont think you should remove spring . it is there for a reason .

      when i hold the throttle (with the spring installed) at 3000rpm the engine running with a strangerous maner (misfire) and the fuel economy is to low and i got only 30kms per 1litter. but with out the spring no problem why!!?

        Also Nightbreaker is 55w and i have experienced dimming of horn etc when using 55w bulb for longer period .have you rewinded the coil to get max benefit of NB .
        i dont think you should remove the spring ,its there in all CV carbs i think . clean the jets ,air filter and make the Air/fuel mix right and see if bike still misfires .
        i havent rewinded the coil and the horn doesnt dim at all. The idle is pretty low..like almost exactly at 1k.

          how do i richen the mixture?

              the CV carb or the constent velocity works on the principal of suction, and the diaprahm you see there stretches and retracts according to it, and the spring makes sure it retracts the way it intends to be, so removing it will make the things not work properly....

              keep it there.

              tighten the mixture screw by half turns, the one which is on the inside, other is the idling screw you see outside, the long one.

              check the plug, fuses, or even the timing as the engine is fully opened.

              • My RTR is having lot of problems in the front-end. The fork pipe has a thick line. People at RAMKAY have changed the oil seal and oil yet again, but its still leaking oil. After some scolding, they have agreed to replace it if it occurs again. Also the engine head is leaking oil. It has in fact never stopped! Am a bit pissed off with that....

                  Hmm...The front oil leaking problem can be taken care of with the replacement but the same cannot be said with the engine head leaking. Try applying the seal again.

                    sir changing the gasket at the head might help.

                      • RTR facing probs.

                        Dont know what to do. Facing following probs from last week:
                        1. Poor acceleration (clocked 0-60 in 5.2sec. Previous as 4.8)
                        2. Top speed ( Manages to touch 120. Previous i touched was 130)
                        3. Not getting the RTR sting.
                        4. Bike knocks between 3-4k RPM on opening throttle suddenly while riding at 3k.

                        I think its happening because of Indian oil's Speed which i added last week. And there is little leakage to vaccum chamber of carburator (I cleaned it last week, on day i added speed).

                        Will open vaccum chamber tomorrow again. And add HP's Power again, as my regular practice. Any suggestions? How to check compression pressure? How much is rated for RTR?

                            nox dont go with the bikes TIMER.....
                            and if it is that's only .4 milisecs buddy.....

                            top speed can get affected by wind,your riding position,bike pulled at each gear etc too...

                            cuz i dont think that little more octane in petrol will be the culprit...

                            and it's not possible that your bikes compression ratio got disturbed...
                            BTW it's 9.5:1

                            check the jets at the carb...

                              More i was worried because, The differences noted was almost with same wind, road, riding position and possible variables and i was feeling the drop in performance. the engine was not piston happy as regular. Yesterday after filling in 13ltrs of Power, opened the carb throughly. Applied rubber sealant on perifery of diaphagm and reassembled. After that, cleaned the jets and sump again, followed by tuning the carb.

                              Readings i received today are as follows:

                              Top speed: 126 kmph
                              0-60: 4.9 sec. (with front wheel on ground)

                              On trip to mumbai today morning, couple of times i got little jerk, like i ran out of fuel. but that was for fraction of second.

                              Note: RTR punch is also back now.
