            • I am encountering a new problem. Sometimes the bike is shutting down in extremely heavy traffic, in very very low rpms. The engine just suddenly splutters off and dies. The bike is only 1.7 k kms old. I checked under the seat to see if the air filter is blocked or not, because i had encountered this problem previously in my unicorn when the bike papers had interfered with the air flow. But I am not so sure this time, i think it might be an overheating problem. Has anyone else encountered this?

                Check the RPM idle level, Check the Air Filter blockage
                Switch off and switch on the bike, check if you get any error messages (light flashes) on the console!

                • Thanx Satyen. Actually i found a nice analogy here which talks about the problem.

                  However the smarts of the ICU are also its downfall. The ICU works within a range to be able to raise and lower idle rpms. Instead of adjusting the butterflies of the throttle bodies, the ICU bypasses the TBs by allowing a controlled amount of air to reach the intakes. The further the ICU opens the more air bypasses the buterflies and the higher the idle rpm - and vice versa.

                  When the idle rpm is a touch too high or too low, the ICU will open or close more and therfore correct the idle rpm. This happens within seconds while running the engine at or around idle.

                  The problem is that if you intentionally ride the bike very slow e.g. in 2nd gear at around 1000 rpm (like in stop and go traffic), the ICU might interpret this as the idle being too high and correcting it by closing the air bypass. As long as you ride at that speed the rider wont realize the chang in behaviour and will feed in more and more throttle to keep the slow speed.

                  Once the clutch gets pulled in or the throttle gets closed all the way, the engine will drop in rpms below the point in can sustain a stable idle. The ICU is not fast enough to correct the situation and the engine will die. Very dangerous, especially in heavy traffic.
                  My idle is at around 1.5 k and I am not getting any error message. How do i fix the rpm?

                    The Idle level is ok, check your Air Filter ... if thats not the issue then its probably the fuel supply.... and if that doesnt work.... best of luck... you need a FID / a garage with FID

                          I seriously have never faced any cone problems.
                          We race 3 R15s and my bike has clocked 17500kms so far with all the track and street abuse, hard braking etc and cone and handling is spot-on.
                          This is news to me!
                          None of the others in my circle has any problem.
