    Hello Ravi@17bhp and psr sir..

    These days i am noticing some tuck-tuck/rattling sound from engine. It lasts only for few seconds when I start the engine (when the engine is hot) and it goes of when the vehicle starts moving on gear. I wonder what might be the reason. My vehicle is almost near to its 4th free service ODO is 8777. Can you please give me some inputs on it.
    Buddy post a video or record the sound. it will be easy.

      I will try to upload one, the problem is it lasts only for few seconds. I mean by the time I start recording it might stop making noise. Still I will try.

        The problem is it only lasts for few seconds, I believe I can still manage to record it or take a video.

                Replaced stock head lamps with Osram h4 bilux p43t. it costs 90 rupees. I was searching for osram night breaker . the shop guy recommended osram bilux. The beam spread and intensity is very satisfying.

                *@psr. Is there any shops where ninja pads can be sourced? enquired with KLN and jai bajaj brake pads are out of stock and told the pads will not the sold . Need to get the bike to them and fit the pads.

                      From what you have said, it seems to be the 15 AMPS fuse inside the fuse box under the seat. Please check if it has 10 or 7.5 amps fuse by mistake...
                      Default fuse rating is 15 amps..As soon as you open the lid of the fuse box, look at the cover,wherein the fuse rating and it's connectivity relevance will be mentioned..

                        Thank you PSR. the fuses were misplaced. there was 7.5 amps fuse for stop turn meter and 15 AMPs for igniton. replace with the spare fuse. Bike is back to normal. PSR should I change the fuse to 20A for stop turn meter?

                            Where do you get? EBay.com or solomotoparts.com
                            How much is it? Varies between $28-35
                            How is the experience? Better than Ninja brake pads.

                              Thank you Sriram bro. I checked with Ebay. the shipping cost is more than brake pad cost. the total price comes out around $79. Is there a way I can get the Ninja 250 pads from any shop in chennai?

                                Catch hold of KTM guys in your circle to help you out with Ninja pads. Or ebc can be shipped to your known person in US coming down so you can save on shipping.
