        @ JERKing problem....

        Originally posted by Aparajith View Post
        Apart from the jerkiness at 3K rpm I noticed a similar glitch exactly at 7K rpm. Bike just jerks for a second before lurching. Kinda like a how a carb bike will feel when it runs out of fuel. And there was 3 inches of fuel in the tank. This is how it feels exactly at 3K rpm as well.
        i had da same problem as well. i cud feel the "jerk" whenever i accelerated the bike suddenly...or on opening the throttle aftr a down shift in traffic...

        i had a tough time convincing the TVS Service Engineer that the bike has the "jerk"ing problem even at higher RPMs.....

        he tried everything from changing the ECU to Spark Plug n even Cleaned the Fuel Injector......

        Finally, the Problem was solved aftr i got the Fuel Injector replaced..

        The Throttle response was superb, something that i was waiting for..
        n later on i was getting amazing Fuel Efficiency Figures too....60+kmpl when i was ridding at speeds mostly between 60-70kmph...
        the bike wass everything i wanted it to be..

        i think Sirjee, u shud try n ask them to completely eradicate the problem..which may not be possible unless they change some parts....

        my bike doesnt have ne "jerk" problem now since December 08...touch wood..

          i used it and changed back to the original plug...
          it makes no diff at all and it's not worth the spend..
          so stick to the original one and ya rotate it every 5000kms....

            Well, I took the bike today from the ASC. The missing problem as of now is not present. They have checked all the Fi stuff and it was all good it seems. They have cleaned the fuel filter and put it back as a precaution though. Am actually suspecting the fuel level now. While coming, there was just one bar. I put it on main stand and it showed 3 bars!!! Took it to the SHELL bunk and filled it to the brim and the damn thing took-in 13.2 liters. So lets see. I will ride it for a few more days and check. And they have sealed the head too and they say that it will not leak anymore. Lets see!!

                    That NGK is good but, being a cold plug it took some time to reach to the optimum working temp and hence it effects in the morning performence.

                    Headlight is OK and currently using a 55/60 GE bulb, light quality is super.

                      have you converted to DC?
                      also, i wanted to ask you about the air filter change (honda paper filter) you had mentioned in your blog. does that not void warranty?

                        My service engineer designed a circuit for DC setup in my bike, and its working allright, cost around Rs.750.00
                        Air filter is not voiding any warrenty in my case, cause i have good rapot with the TVS guys, kind of onlinesatish

                          Rear brake.... Drum brakes making sound? Are you sure its the brakes and not something else? Try braking hard three four times, then check again... does it happen again?

                          vibrations not really the engine vibes its from thefron t dome i cant really figure out which part of it is loose..
