    Welcome back Sir. You inspire me most of the times.
    Just a question related to your first point: What is the equivalence of carb slide in FI systems?

    Fuel injection systems are more complex ,.....but both in carb., and injectors basically a moving part is there...in Carb., the slide with throttle needle must go up to allow fuel flow for acceleration ..similarly inside an injector there is slide operated by voltage in the injector coil which moves up to allow the fuel to flow...



    More questions:
    1. Does riding in low speed at higher gears(in case when engine knocks at low rpms) imply that sparks are occurring after top dead centre?
    NO ...If it is after TDC there will be no Knocking..If it happens before TDC only you get knocking
    2. Is it more harmful than redlining the engine? (As Aneesh bro or Ashwin bro stated that a car mech told this to his mom) If yes, then how?
    Red lining and knocking both are Harmful to engine..no comparison which is better than the other...But knocking can lead to severe strain on the con rod big and small ends as well as crankshaft....redlining will also strain these parts..but proper lube flow can prevent disaster.
    3. "Ignition advance map region" Sir please elaborate this point or any link will be helpful.
    Every ICE running on Petrol has a spark plug and a control on spark timing..for instance at 1,500 rpm if it takes a piston 1 sec to complete one up and down movement, at 6,000 rpm this will be at 1/4th time or 0.25 sec...so essentially the time for combustion is becoming less with more RPM...so in order to compensate for this the timing happening at say 10 degree BTDC will be advanced to 20 degree BTDC to have early ignition and proper combustion ..this then is the Ignition map advancing..the ignition time with respect to TDC will be varied at various RPM to best suit the engine's efficiency.

    great 1 is on with the DIY project so we will not be dependant on mechanic for everything atleast all will be making a step forward to learn from even basics of caring and maintaining their ride
    Yes precisely I am happy how the thread is growing and heartening to see everyone making a significant contribution.

Earlier the cowl used to bear the water/mud/dung that comes off the front wheel - now it splashes onto my feet ( no dung as yet !! ) . Have you done anything to your ride to counter this problem ? Any suggestions ?
    I haven't thought about it since I ride in heart of city and during rain take out my car..I guess a rubber pad at the bottom of the front mudguard or at the base of the front of , engine will help..

But then if things were used only for their intended purposes my Zmar ( or anybody's ) would be like any other Zmar !!!

            It would be nice if you will also update the fiber body parts price in the list.

            Update
            Today purchased new DPR8EA9 spark plug for rs75 but first when i asked the spare dealer to give the spark plug and told him the above number he said that its manufacturing date and has nothing to do . Then i said to give spark plug for karizma then he gave me the same DPR8EA9 I can't understand what he wanted to say.

              Its clear that he is a noob and dont know even the basics. Dont tell him the manufacturing date next time.

                          Thats one advantage i found after fixing the guard.

                          The engine breathes better and so seem to become much free to rev .Since no gearing from stock is done RPM to speed remains the same....see if you get a better grunt when you accelerate.

                          Really love your DIY.KEEP IT UP.
                          Thanks for your kind words - It does mean quite a lot when something is appreciated by you !
                          The better breathing of the engine is quite evident - now I don't have to give as much throttle as I used to for attaining the same speed . Well , it should show since something which feeds a 1000cc engine is feeding my 223cc engine!!

                          It's sort of a "catch 22" in reverse! More guys are contributing because there's a healthy discussion going on and there's a healthy discussion going on because more guys are contributing positively!!!

                          Have to find a solution to that - my car is a no-no for daily usage . It'd take thrice as much time at least for my commute (not to mention thrice as much expenditure !!)

                          And if there's a portion of it in a cavity with a tight bottle neck , a hair dryer or a hot air blower ought to do the job .
