      I havent faced any non standard vibrations. So havent tried it.
      What are non-standard vibrations?

          Now tell me TVS guys that if it really solves the problem then you people do one thing, make the bike, and before loading it to the truck you do the above said process and make it disappear for us right from the factory.

              Was it 275 for the whole assembly or just for the little removable tail section. I thought the entire mudguard under the seat had to be changed in order to fit the removable thing.

              Differance in tube type and tubeless type of a certain model of tyre is, tubeless have little thicker wall. Dunlop Geo-cruiser is already thicker than other tyres.
              Well, there are a couple of things to consider when using a tubed tyre as tubeless. First is that tubeless tyres are designed to hold nails in and maintain air pressure. Second is in case of pressure loss, a tubless tyre's reinforced sidewall will hold the bike steady. These two issues may pose a big risk in case of a puncture at high speed. Another point to keep in mind is that the beading of a tubeless tyre is designed to seal on the rim. If a tubed tyre seals fine, then good, but don't expect every tubed tyre to work perfectly as a tubeless.

              yeah, it's kinda 3rd world treatment we indians always get. like i said earlier, all foreign owners of ninja 250s chuck their IRCs as soon as they buy the bike saying they're crap tyres, but here they're one of the best options we have. And out FI and even 180s have the crappiest tyres in india while the firangs get PSDs !!! not fair!

              nice find anyway chicane, any links?

                The whole entire mudguard is for 275, there is no removable section in it other than the number plate light cover (which is still out of stock in INDORE so i'm running without it)


                And TVS...... that sucks....

                • guys, facing a problem with the tyre pressure of my Fi. I always get my rear tyre filled to 32 psi and within 2 days, it falls to 19psi( doesnt go below that even after 2 weeks).

                  Got the tube checked by a road side puncture wala. He did his water test and told me that the tube is fine.No air leaks.

                  The puncture wala indicated that the tube might be losing air due to the heat. is it possible?
                  my driving is mostly city driving 35km/day and do touch 100kmph daily.

                  anybody else facing this problem? is this a tube problem?

                    PS:
                    A well calibrated Oil pump is hard to find\maintain (due to the varying level of fuel)
                    Premix is the best\safest approach.... long back when I had (access) to a RX, we used to fill some 5rs sachet per 50Rs of fuel... (or something like that :P)

                    Dont worry, the bike will ensure you remember it just dont end up feeding oil to your other bikes too!
                    Make that 2 K&N stickers Hmmm.......well lets see if the pump works fine when i give it for overhaul else i'll chuck the pump. mech says the oil pump had been wantedly set like that since the engine is Fcuked up!

                    May be there's a problem with the valve! Try changing the tube!

                        Ok so now it's 20 rs expensive
                        i'm after that Flap, but two dealerships in INDORE are not having it.

                        One more thing as now i'm running without the rear num plate light and the two front pilots, when i switch the headlight at parking mode the rear LED lamp in headlight mode goes dim whenever i rev it, but when i switch the headlight on it becomes normal.
                        What could be the reason????

                        • Am in love with TVS and Ramkay. I just got the entire front fork assembly free of cost under warranty. The left fork was leaking oil. Gave it to Ramkay. Even after many oil seal replacements, was of no use. The guys checked it and replaced the entire assembly. Bike is almost as good as new now. Thank u TVS. It's high time Yamaha learn a bit from these guys!

                              and I did not have to talk to TVS officials. Only a talk with Ramkay guys did it!

                                It's good to hear that Sir, i mean changing the whole assembly without knocking the doors of higher officials means TVS dealerships are coming up well.
