  • Guys help !!

    I was riding my R15 today morning and I left the handle of the bike and sat straight. But bike steered towards right side. I tried few more times just to see if it is a genuine issue. Every time, the bike moved towards the right side. It used to be perfect when i had bought the bike (It moved dead straight). Please tell me about possible reason and what to be done.

      Take it to service center and tell them to do fork alignment checkups, the T bar checkup, also check your bearings and air pressure.

        • I did second servicing at 2700Km yesterday and my bike was added with coolant! I felt bike more smoother and soundless than previous! Later, when I reached my home that is 10Km from the SVC I saw the coolant leaked up to the floor. I was shocked and then took for ride to check whether it will leak again. But it didn't happen. Till now, I haven't seen any coolants leaking!
          What might be the issue? This happened due to over filling of coolant?

            Are you completely sure it was the coolant? Sometimes the SVCs extra-lune the chain and the extra stuff drips down for a couple of days..

              You are not making sense here. 4300K is the temperature of color, it has got nothing to do with the battery, battery consumption.

                  I meant 4300k h4 HID is the best to go with stock battery as anything above it really screws the stock battery, as the higher the temperature the more load on stock battery.

                    Nope it won't make any difference to the battery, 35 watts is 35 watts full stop. A 35 watt xenon bulb will consume the same current as a 35 watt halogen, the difference is that an HID bulb is more efficient than a halogen, which means it will give more light and less heat than a halogen bulb of the same wattage.

                    More than 98 percent of convicted criminals are bread eaters !
                    Statistics show that more than 75 % of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread !
                    Bread is known to be extremely addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water, actually begged for bread after just two days !
                    Bread has been proven to kill. Scientists have now uncovered alarming evidence that 100% of the people who eat bread will eventually die !

                    • Shrinath the lamps have to be of 35W... irrespective of the colour temprature.

                      When you say 4300k, you define the colour temprature of the bulb!

                        are u referring to above 4300K or above H4?

                        above 4300K wouln't really make a difference.

                        and an H7 (above H4 ) is 55W.

                          yha actually it was raining and weather was very cold so might be that must the problem......thanks
