Most have shifted out from 55/60W to HIDs, including me!

You have those 55/60W bulbs with you? If not anyone else?
I might be interested. PM me.
EDIT-Forget it. Courier Companies dont accept bulbs.

How has HID affected your bike?Battery and all...

Goto a car shop or MARUTI spares shop and ask for a headlight bulb. P43T socket, H4. Get it and fix it. straight fit. Saves the trouble of couriering.

@Lancer: MAny have gone for HID in this forum. Ask them too. AFAIK no problem with my battery.

@ everybody who replied : 1. I thought turning the idle screw has something to do with increasing fuel supply and not only to pull the throttle cable.
2. it's not in the mind as the engine is way smoother now. And the sputtering has reduced while redlining which is a clear indication of better fuel flow. The same distance I could touch 110 in before, I can touch 118 now.
3. My FE may have died and I don't care much about that either way. I would have bought a reva otherwise.
4. I assume the service center guys think that reducing the idle revs is the way to go for better FE. That's the only kind of tuning they know.
5. The air filter was cleaned recently and I don't think I have any leaks in the manifold. (how would I know if I had one ? how do i check ?)

I am just starting to mess with the bike and have no tuning knowledge as such. So I would appreciate it if ppl with more experience would confirm/correct my findings.

I've noticed something.. the screw at rightside of the bike maybe the A/F ratio adjustment and not the Idle RPM. I tried adjusting the RPM of my bike using this screw and it didn't cause much change in the idle, It instead changed the way the engine combusted,changing the sound too!

Turning it anti-clockwise makes the engine go happy at a point and there's a strange noise from the air filter that keeps increasing as we turn the screw. Turning it the other way makes the engine go silent but at the end it makes the engine sound as if it's gasping for air at idle.

Is this really for the A/F ratio? or is it that my bike isn't accepting idle RPM increase ebyond 1.3k ?

Racing Event - Hyderabad

Hi guys

Met a guy today in the traffic. He said there is going to be a racing even in Shamshabad - Hyderabad. He said all the imported bikes and cars are gonna be there. It will be a quarter mile drag racing. Starts at 9 am.
That guy can be trusted as he himself participated in the event and he had stickers all ever his modified RE.

Any one else knows about this?!

there is a small hole in the Right side "Delta Box" walla panel. See through it you can find a golden coloured screw there. It is used to set the idle RPM of the bike as per the manual.

Nope, there's a deliberate gap given there so that your screw driver can go through
