    Missing the the worn out clutch plate behavior is entirely diff my friend.
    Missing is like the bike is not getting petrol, it happens between 1500+-200-2500 RPM , whereas the clutch play slippage and the thing i told can happen at 9000RPM too.

    Guys has anyone noticed any werid behaviour with the clock? I am not too sure about this but I think the clock doesnt remain constant, a few months ago I had noticed that my clock was set 15 minutes advanced (i.e. at 9:00 it will show around 9:15) I thought that I had set it that much since I do set my clocks a bit ahead (but thats always 5 minutes or so), so I had reset the clock to 5 minutes difference, Today I discovered that its at a gap of 12 mins now.

    Anybody else noticed this?
    Yes the clock sets itself 5 mins faster than the normal time and sometimes it goes slow by 5-7 mins.
    It has got a mind of it's own just like the fuel bars.

    yes i have a A160 FI and it behaves like the way rennycornelius posted. I assumed it might be because of the missing pickup problem...the svc centres, which i have gone to, have no idea what causes the missing pickup problem(infact they act like nothing's wrong) And i didnt know about the faulty Fi system....i always thought it was the O ring which caused the missing pickup problem...
    besides, i dont know much about the behaviour of a bie. Hence i can't distinguish between the feel of a pickup loss and missing pickup...to me both of them feel more or less the same...
    So if i get the key difference, i might be able to identify the root cause of my bike's behaviour and take the required action...
    get your injector changed to the new one.

          worn out clutch will result in harder gear shift. Also the time to reach top speed in a particular rev & gear will be long. You will feel very sluggish in pickup.

          Faulty Fi will result in drop in response of the throttle. You may feel that the ignition is not smooth, you are experiencing "Jhatka" response.
          Don't kbnow much about RTR Fi but I guess the problems & solution will be similar for all Fi.
          get the throttle body checked, fuel pump delivery checked.

          thanx a lot for the info guys....it feel great to finally see things falling into place and hearing sensible explanations for certain behaviour

          is it tht my FI system is faulty? anyways its been more than 24mths since i bought my bike...they wont change it for free....and AFAIK a new FI system costs around 4k, right

            And I thought RTR Fi was launched on 7th July 2008.
            Did you get your hands on RTR Fi two-three months before the official launch??

            Just kidding...
            Yes....

              Not the whole FI system just the injector, check if it's of silver colour or not?

                • i think the injector will cost u around 800-1000rs
                  Its not enough to know how to twist the throttle; you must have judgement to know when and where to do it.

                      • Missing"

                        Today the bike missed so much after the first 5kms of warm up that it was actually embarrasing for me, the people were looking at my bike as during missing it makes so much of a loud grunty noice that it feels i'm running on a slip on,it was virtually refusing to show any signs of power between 1500-2500RPM and was taking super "wide" hiccups at that range, the moment 2500RPM was being exceeded things were super normal again.

                        To get rid of it i was doing the throttle with a "jhatka' effect to jump the missing RPM area (1500-2500) and it was working pretty fine for me, after the bike got hot it faded completely.
