      you will have a slight dip in your mileage... there should be no difference on your pickup... But grip sure will be better...

            I think every 15k kms should be good enough...

            Get your fairing nuts tightened... If they still persist ask your mech to place a packing at the front inside of your fairing below the console...

              what can be the problem?? i still cant find out...i have cleaned the spark plugs, tank was cleaned recently some water had entered in it, tire pressure is ok..carb was drained at the time tank was cleaned(sone 5-6k kms back)...any thoughts on this? is de-carb of engine necessary at around 30k? i havent got it done yet..

              thanks for the giving some idea about the cost
              Looks like you need a decarb! You should go for it *only* if you badly need it!

              The damage must have happened at the time when the last time the oil cooler pipes were removed. They might have over torqued the nuts!

              Oil filter only needs to be cleaned. Preferably you should do it every time you change the oil.

              You ride a Pulsar right? Vibrations are a part of the package...

                    Oil filter you mean fuel filter
                    Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the seat.

                      No , I meant 'oil filter' itself... But, I changed 'fuel filter' because hasnt changed it ever... The svc guys said , changing or cleaning oil filters will take 2 days time, and I cant live without my machine for more than one day.... So didnt change or clean the oil filter...

                          Fuel Filter - Change every 5K kms. Earlier if the quality of fuel you have used is not good.

                          Oil Filter - Clean every time or atleast every alternate time oil is drained and replaced. No need to replace oil filter. Just clean it!

                            @praful where is the fuel filter located?
                            ..and the oil one? Can it be cleaned by self?

                              Fuel filter is under the tank, you can see it, and oil filter inside the engine.. You can see it after removing engine... For cleaning by self, try it...

                                On the left side of your tank you will see a small white plastic bottle. That's your fuel filter.

                                Oil filter is inside the crankcase, its not recommended for cleaning yourself unless your are very comfortable with putting back the crankcase cover back yourself.
