    currently ia have a 4th speedometer console unit on my bike it works fine only for a couple of days aftr installation but then da whole thing starts again..
    Same thing happened to me too guys, though on an analog P150 tacho. Shaking in the 4-5k rpm band. This is due to loose contact at the sockets or weak slightly cut wire or carbon build up in the tacho wires. Check up those wires carefully. Open up every connector socket there and tighten them down. There are three wires, one from the tacho to the CDI and two more power supply wires.
    Your biking tells a lot about the person you are!

        same problem persists in my case too the tacho needle fluctuates aggressively, initially it fluctuates when i rev my bike above 7k now it is being fluctuates even on 3-4-5k rpm.
        wht would b its causse? is there any leakage current flowing in elctrical systm or the earth fault is a culprit!!!
        whatevr, it just decreases the feel of real blue speedo!!!
        Show this to the SVC guys and ask them to fix it!

        They simply replace the entire assembly

        Ditto....same thing happened with my 1st and second speedo. Have'nt faced it with the 3rd till now!

        A small favour. Whenever u go out somewhere and when ur bike is idiling just open the throttle to abt 75% once and hold it like that till the rpm reaches 9-10k. see if its reachs that point. At times the needle gets stuck at 5k and drops to 0 even when the engine is running.

        This was the prime reason why my 1st and 2nd speedo was changed.

        I dont face any of this issue with the 3rd speedo.

          btw whats with the misfiring issue ?? i saw the servicing guys doing something with the silencer (rather cleaning it from inside or whatever) to a bike having the same issue..i found the sound to be sweet
          the silencer is a sealed unit unlike pulsars which can be opened...
          i wonder how he was cleaning it from inside....

          rev it agressively...
          i mean maintain the RPM at 4500 fot about 5 sec and rev it to 11000 with tht "jhatka" effect...like satish said
          i did this twice and thrice(while moving) and the tacho needle is smooth since thn....

                    • Today returned from neral-pune-satara nad back trip, clocking 578kms in all. I replaced original headlamp with philips, costed 155/-. Though 35/35, Its much brighter. Rode bro's Fi after 6 months. i found that it takes a lot of time to cross the region between 6000-7000 rpm. I never faced the prob with her when i was using it 6 months back.
                      There's lot to it other than saddle....

                        its been in this condition since day 1..

                        all the 4 consoles fitted on my bike so far have been showing the same problem..

                        n funny part is dat even the service engineer is not able to identify the problem forget abt rectifying it..

                        • Hello Friends.
                          Got my bike "first serviced" .....

                          Three complaints i had asked to rectify during the service.
                          1) Hitting Sound from the front dome cover or front fork.
                          2) "ZZZZZZZZ" sound from rear disk while braking.
                          3) Tight both the mirrors as the mirror stem has a freedom of rotation of 360 degrees.

                          Bike came back after the service with all the three complaints pending.

                          Only one good thing is tht they changed the oil to castrol activ 4t in my presence.
                          Curretly i got it serviced ( or in better words, water serviced) at SJB TVS.
                          Can somebody from coimbatore please suggest me a good service centre for TVS over here?
