    What does T-stem alignment mean? And what do they exactly do in engine overhauling and why is it done?
    Had some accidents before ,Nothing happened to rider,but it made a bend on the stem,So need to correct it.Engine overhaul in mine ,They cleaned valves,checked and changed spark plug,changed full gasket,oil seals,tensioner,etc

    • ^^Well I dont know whats stem and hence asked about what T-Stem alignment meant.

      I forgot to update about the test ride I did on my bike last night.
      -Fixed the headlight setting and its much better now. But not good enough, unless its pitch black. So might end up having HID someday.
      -I changed the AFR setting as told by PSR. Full clockwise rotation and then 4 turns anti-clockwise. I did feel the change a bit, hope its not just my mind playing tricks Throttle response felt a little better.

      Things that bothered me:
      -There was some noise at the front end of the bike. First it seemed as if the keychain ring was vibrating. But then I removed it and the noise was still there.
      -The engine is not that smooth. Not sure how to explain this one, I guess only a ride will tell you about it.

              2. If you have a Crash guard not fitted properly, then the front Mud Guard will hit it when the fork goes all the way in...check the front mud guard...if you see a horizontal mark on it 3 inches away from fork tubes...then surely your crash guard is hitting the mud guard.
              I do not have a crash guard fixed. So I should fill up fork oil I guess. Should i take it to my mech or can I only do it? Any guide for it?

                      No it is not DIY..better left to a good mech. drain the old oil and fill the required amount with Fresh New oil.

                          • Enquired about the NGK Iridium here, costing 520/- and the G-Power will be under 200/-

                            Since these are made for a particular bike, I guess I wont have to do any gap checking or anything right? Just plug and play I suppose...?
