  • @psr: Should I change the seals right or should first try chain cleaning? If you are certain about the leaks being from the mentioned seals then will get them changed right away, that way I wont have to wait longer.
    I dont know much about all these but I kinda get this feeling that the chain itself wont release so much of oil. And have if I am not wrong, the chain has to be oiled to keep it in good condition. Right?

      Ok bro.. If you see oil like this,Its completely normal and there is nothing to worry.


      This is greek for me possible for u to indicate these in the mentioned manual. Too many seals and parts to zero in on one with my level of knowledge.
      See THIS

      Not sure if the mechanic put in too much oil in the chain. But wont I have to use some oil for the chain even if I clean it dry with diesel?
      yes,you have to use engine oil for lubing chain,but it wont look like this.

      Which particular oil seal are you talking about?


      Is this ring included in the above mentioned seals?
      No,I am talking about this one.


      Will I also have to replace the O-ring here? No.21 that is.
      May be,not sure,if anything goes bad during removal and if it gets damaged,you have to replace it.If you order parts,order that O ring too.

      Looks like all these issues are resulting in the degraded performance and the momentary power drop at certain point.
      Yes,these are.

      • Thanks again for the explanation guys. Its time to go shopping tomorrow

        As of now I will be needing:
        -2 seals
        -Neutral indicator stub
        -1 O-ring
        -Insulator
        -Air filter

          I lube my chain with Castrol bearing grease and found the noise to reduce by 50%, ....for the past 600 Kms...
          Oil used to lube chain change to black color, whereas your oil leak is light yellow..as from engine.....thats why I suspected the oil seals....In my Pre-owned ZMA soon as I bought found the same problem and changed the oil seals only to find that the Neutral indicator connecting stub was bad..due to it's 'O' ring failure...when you are changing it take care because engine oil will come out immediately through the stub hole.Drain oil before embarking on the change of oil seals.The stub with 'O' ring costs 28/- and the other oil seals are around 40 to 50 rupees only.
          The Carburettor connecting insulator is more important to change as it directly affects engine performance.

            Yes your list is correct..please note down the parts no from the manual so that there is no confusion...similarly when you buy the spares , check if the reference part no and what is printed on the package are the same.

                  Yes here we get as a set but each packed separately inside a single sealed pouch....He is a newbie so didn't want him to get confused,and buy something else, hence the emphasis.
                  If you buy out side HH SVC they are available separately.

                        Could you please share more details about the LED pilot lamps?

                        How much does it costs, what's power usage, price and off course availability. Flipping back some pages, saw someone posting Philips LED however, it looks like had a blue tinge.
