HELLO!!! How do you DHAKKA / Push start a car?? Same logic
Just put bike in 1st or second gear, press the clutch & get it pushed / push the bike to attain a reasonable speed & then just release the clutch, BIKE will start. This is in consideration of the fact that the battery is able to start the Fi / Fuel pump unit.

ALright... Thanx sir !!
I have seen it getting done by people but never tried it.

I will try it sometime soon.

First of all, you need a new rear tyre mate. AFAIK, it is already >3 years old. It is a good practice (I feel) to change tyres at least once every 2/2.5 years regardless of usage. Anyways, my rear tyre was also changed @23-24k.

Check if the wobbling goes away after tyre change. And actually it really should since I don't think there is anything fundamentally wrong with Pune roads which could lead to this.

30K My stock tyre got over in 20K Change the tyre as Antz mentioned. Once the tyre goes old there is a slight wobbly feeling that sets in!

Hi sir, how to do a dhakka start? I never faced any problem like that but I don't know how to do it.

Let me know the process sir.

Follow what Rx100.7050 has mentioned, but do it on a open road with little or no traffic!

30k and 20k..? My rear tyres hardly completed 10k , front tyre is good for 20k. I has now run 30k. Changed front tyre once, rear tyre twice and the one I'm using now is nearly over. You guys ride real slow..? :P

**Digital_shubhi** · 09-30-2011, 11:15 PM

Since here are most experienced guys, asking a question -

When did you got your ball bearings of both Tyre changed or lubricated?
Mine bike has done 12K till now and nothing done like that.

Also, my rear sprocket moves 2mm forward or backward even when tyre is still. And similarly, I can rotate my tyre for like 2 mm or so when my sprocket is still. What could be the reason behind it or is it normal?

Illegal but still...
take a hammer & put a dent onto it but before doing it visualise the acident carefully which is going to be your story. Say that due to accident it got damaged

MAN!! This is soooo illegal

(Il)Legal.... Lets get some money back from the insurance guys..

Are you talking about the MRF Zapper C rear tyre? How many burn outs did you do

My stock tyre is the longest lasting tyre till date. Zapper Vyde was 10K and Sirac(s) dont go beyond 15K

Depends on the kind of riding conditions you are riding in. As average thumbrule about 20-25K kms.

The play with the sprocket is normal, if it increases anymore you need to replace the sprocket rubber!

Anyone having problems with the auto-cancelling indicators...
My bike's fairly new (

Ya, the zapper C. It lasts only a 10k kms with little burnouts

. But, I'm using Zapper vyde now and its almost over at 10k itself. I usually ride very fast, and roads here are extremely, incredibly pathetic....

Hey friends. I have bought the motul 5100 oil for my bike, but decided to change the oil myself. But im not able to make the drain bolt to budge..repeated trials using the spanner(size 17) also. Also can someone just point out which is the drain bolt. Just to be sure that i was fiddiling with the correct one..!!

Even im facing this issue..only on u-turn it seems to be working , before it was working fine. Maybe the sensor is having some problems.but im not much bothered about it. I manually switch it off everytime now. It has become a habit.

Thanks bro, had taken the same video as reference before attempting it on my own, but the drain bolt just wouldnt budge. and in the video it says it should not be tighten too much, so i got confused. let me try it today morning.

Don't try too hard and damage the threads on the crankcase! If that happens you'd have to cart the engine to lathe and get it re-threaded. Trust that is not something you'd want to have on your hands.

Try spraying some WD-40 on the bolt and see if it budges or not!

Thanks bro, opened it today morning. ad to put a little pressure though.Had a lot od dirt dried up on it. Cleaned it and changed oil. Now i have 5100 in it and its good. Gear shifts are smoother.
And i dint overtight it while putting it back. So i guess its safe. but just to confirm ill be looking out for oil leaks.Hopefully that does not happen.
