Really sad to see the bike Aneesh. Glad you alright.

Taking insurance claim for a dented tank is difficult. I know of several occasions where a brand new bike have been denied of insurance claims for a dent. Suggestion made by PSR is more practical IMO.
Could this also have happened if there was a crash guard in front?

Once again I do not Advocate that anyone should use it because I had used it....all experiments are with risk only...The user should decide after weighing the pros and cons, and I am in no way responsible for the outcome.
I was sharing my experience ..it is up to you to take it or leave it. YOU DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT.

That is very correct . Everything we share on this thread is out of our own experience and it does not necessarily mean it'd work for another person . All are requested to use their own judgement .

Isn't the homemade experiment being conducted with 2T similar to additives being added by oil company. So why not simply fill premium. Unless of course one is concern paying extra.

True . But then the reason for this thread's existence would be questionable if every one were to just fill it , ride it and service it according to what the company says . A lot many good ideas are being thrown around here and a lot of people are benefiting from them . Paying extra does affect all . Not just for petrol . Engine oil additives ( of the home made experiment variety

) like Boric acid is being used by some of our members . So also ,acetone in petrol ( my 500 ml bottle is yet to be opened

) We are tossing ideas which might be beneficial either by being cost effective than stock or by giving better performance than stock . Hope you get the point .

Glad you 2 are safe .

Lol , They'r more than happy(thanks to god they both got out without even a scratch), infact they were just looking for a chance to rebuild their bike and TADA!!! a genuine reason.

@Psr sir,
Just to take care of yesterdays foolishness I filled up 5lts of petrol without 2T and also prepped a small measuring thingi thats also portable so that after every fill starting from the next one I can effectively add 1ml of 2T/Ltr. I'll post the pics tomorow cause now am literally in pain and dying due to moms deadly cooking(damn! am going to kill those people conducting cookery shows.

).

It is a good pictorial representation of a car engine with DOHC ,direct cam actuation, with dome top piston having swirl contour.

Me back from a western Ghats ride(1250kms). The ZMA(2005) model performed spotlessly on whatever terrain. we were riding in the rains atleast 5-6 hours a day , and was taking corners at 80s and 90s but still the vehicle seemed to be nailed on the ground

Took the ZMA to whatever terrain possible.Got a comparitively very good FE of 37-38( very good considering the state of roads travelled )

**sunny_** · 09-06-2011, 12:15 PM

Im back again after a 550 kms single day trip.
While returning, in the last 50 kms the bike refused to go beyond 4k-5k rpms in any gear and I had to maintain below 60 kph. Although the engine revved up smoothly in neutral from 1200 rpm to ~9000 rpm. The problem was gone the very next morning, but feeling a relaxed acceleration than it used to accelerate earlier.
Air filters are newly installed so I don't think they are creating any problems.. I guess its time to change my spark plug. (15k kms done, 8 months old)
What do you ppl suggest? Stock or NGK Iridium Spark plug?

Ride Safe.

Thank you for all your suggestions Sir

The brake oil level has gone down on my bike & hence the disc brake lacks the bite(feels very spongy).

The colour of the current oil is transparent(kind of yellowish) so I guess its DOT 4. I was planning to top up the oil using DOT 4 specified brake oil from TVS Girling. My question is, once the top up is done Do i have to BLEED it to get the bite back or just leave it as it is?

Congrats on a long trip done...Regarding your problem was the bike getting hot ? I think the throttle slide may be getting stuck due to hot and then cooling conditions...if the problem repeats then it is confirmed
Stick with NGK DPR-8 EA plug.
