    Look up the Sparks thread for more info.

    Thanx for inputs..

          I used to clean the air filter with petrol ...and then apply some small quantity of 2T oil that we get in pouches ...

            yep! NGK comes with twin electrode plugs too.. the TVS engineer told me to use the twin electrode one since the ignition is designed in such a way (some angle inside the cylinder) to get the max efficiency or something. so always better to stick with stock design!

            please be sure not to put too much oil in it.. I had a bad experience engine will choke for air!
            A good long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith, and use up a lot of fuel.

            Always be ready (get geared) to fall and then think of sitting on the motorcycle.

                  Great. Hope this improves the shoddy image of TVS service quality.

                      Is it a service call or for too much claim of things under warranty?

                          I have heard about normal NGK plugs with twin electrodes... Are there any Iridium twin electrodes plugs?

                            I guess OWS comes up with twin electrode iridium plugs.. read it somewhere.. not sure where to get it though

                            besides changing to the iridium plugs wont bring any big difference.. its just in the head AFAIK.

                              I guess so .... I had KNN fitted and upjetted carb also , earlier in my old bike....just for the sake of it , and didnt find any major performance increase .. So its just a mental satisfaction
