    the tip got blackened because the air fuel mixture was too rich. it van happen due to 2 reasons.
    1..excess fuel supply... wrong afr setting
    2..inadequate air supply ...clogged air filter

      Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle!

        oh yes, my bike used to stall mid way during rides!!
        for now my mechanic has adjusted the afr, will post the difference after some more kms

                      Guys,
                      I am facing couple of issues.
                      1. The rpm needle in the meter is fluctuating up and down while riding. The needle even reaches 7000 rpm at 40kmph speed, the engine runs normal though. Is it problem with the rpm meter wire?
                      2. The left side leg holder has broken due to recent fall of bike. it has broken exactly around the swingarm bolt, Do i have to worry about it, it is a casting part and costs 1500. The SC guys say it wont create a problem and they don't have it in stock. Do I have to worry?

                        Today i had upgraded ma zma Rear wheels with MRF zapper Q - 110/90/18. And after fitting ( was care full with the centering) , drove for 2kms, n found that the tyre had fouled with the chain guard.. and had damaged the side wall edges of the tyre.
                        Do t know what to do.. :what:
                        Had pushed the bike to near by mechi, did centering again.
                        But not sure how long will it be ok.

                              Get rid of the chain guard and go for Yamaha Enticer chain guard, its around 50rs if I'm not wrong. Then add a couple of links so that you can move the adjuster a bit back and align so that the tire isnt rubbing against anything.

                              I'm using Dunlop Monster Trail 110/90 18 without any issues along with the Enticer chain guard.

                              Happens when moisture gets under the clear coat. Let the bike completely dry on a hot afternoon and try some paint treatment.
