When I was fitting R15's peg into my FI

After some 5000kms now, the pegs automatically drop down the moment I cross 5000RPM.
You guys now do the math of the vibes of RTR.

Hi renny, instead of cloth I would've preferred a piece of old tyre/tube for the purpose.

Just a wild thought.

Cheers

A lot of people in the forums have complained of vibes around 4.5K to 6.5K RPM. I think it is part of being a RTR. If it wasn't there new,then you should check the engine mount....and lubricate the chain every 500 Kms.

Sir, i have checked all the engine mounts and i lube the chain every 500 to 700 kms. The vibrations are not excessive. Its just that i wanted my machine to be vibration free which i know is not possible at all. Anyways, thank you for your suggestions

Rubber will tear off/cut in 4-5 folds-unfolds, the cloth was the last option !

Is Having a rear Disc on 160 a good idea ? wont the tyres lock up @ high speeds ?

**Tron05** · 10-19-2010, 09:31 PM

guys, a new problem from last couple of days.

I was on 3rd gear and was waiting to get a clear road to overtake a bus, Road ahead of the bus gets cleared, and i instantly pulled the throttle to the max, but nothing happened. Engine was dying on me(jerked and moaned like there was no petrol).Tank was full. immediately pressed the clutch and again tried pulling the throttle. This time engine gave the usual roar and zoomed ahead.

On doing many trial runs, i could consistently reproduct the problem.
1. Get the bike on 3rd gear,rpm greater than 3k and let it slow down to around 2.2-2.4k rpm.
2. now tried pulling off the throttle. it moans and gives a burp as if engine would die.
3. If i press the clutch and accelerate, bike is normal again.

Does this problem sound familiar to anybody??

Your bike Fi or carb??
If Fi then I think you should check the injector,there may be some dirt which may be hindering the flow of fuel!

^^ its a FI. That is the only reason i can think of, but that would give me problem randomly, here i can reproduce the problem every time consistently. Alsoforgot to mention, the bike now refuses to start, i do kicks for 5-6 mins, doesnt start, thn hold the starter for a good 15-20 secs with the accelerator, thn starts after giving a few burps.. battery seems good, as it was able to sustain the starter for that long duration. wondering if the problems are related

from what i can infer that the bike is running rich....that is what I read a couple of pages ago that the bike coughs when kick started when the bike is running rich!

Rear Disc Good or Bad for a 160 ? what s the advantage of having a rear disc ?

**Tron05** · 10-20-2010, 03:17 PM

@Kantu: Never had problems with high speed brakings. Its gradual. Tyres do not get locked. But yea, at lower speeds if u apply sudden brake, tyres would lock up and come to a skidding stop. i love that

. You would get used to the bike after a few runs and you will not face any issues.
If you have the budget, go for it.

@haxor: running rich is 'higher idle rpm or lower' ?

i have been keeping my trottle open even at signals to about 2k rpm to avoid the engine to stall.

Tron05---- hey buddy how much kms your bike has covered?? if more than 18000 kms then according to manual decarbonization needs to be done.

running lean means in A/F ratio fuel input is more than air and hence the bike will cough..
It is like you are drinking water
You take a little water swallow it and again take a little water
but when a bucketful of water is used instead of glass you'll choke.

NO !!!

Running lean means air's ratio in mixture is more than the fuel.
