and there was some noise(like a very gentle saw machine running kms away and you have cotton balls in your ears) in the engine(which wasn't there earlier) and disappeared after clutching-in,
its no longer after doing approx 6-7kms
*the noise was for the first time and i have tried my best to make the noise sound as it is

dude i have the exact same problem.! the chain saw sound is not irritating though so i didnt mind..

.
My bike has done just about 6.5k kms, and i felt the clutch slightly getting damp, on inspection i saw the cable was shearing, somehow i struggled for 10 more kms,and it snapped leaving me stranded,somehow replaced the clutch wire.
What i do not understand is, how the hell can the clutch cable cut in just 6.5k kms, wheras my old enticer had absolutely no issues for the 35k odd kms, i did on it.

Plus do i have to replace the entire clutch cable set now?

Even I had a clutch snap at around 6k kms. Looks like its a common problem with the first cable of R15

. Since then I keep a spare clutch cable under the seat, and luckily it has been 23k kms and the clutch wire is still going strong !

^^ im guessing it was a bad batch of cables, or the cables were not lubricated properly during manufacture.. again a bad batch..

Have seen some of you guys have replaced the stock Spark Plugs with NGK Iridium plugs.

Is this really just a "Plug and Play" ? or any other settings needs to be done?

Clutch, de-clutch

Does clutching/de-clutching helps in to reach the top speed?
AS when the bikes gets stuck at a speed. By clutching/de-clutching, does it help to attain the top speed of the bike.

example.. yesterday i managed 132 kmph on the speedo.......I have seen videos & heard that r15 manages 140kmph....
Later my friend told me to clutch - de clutch without releasing the throttle ..
will it help...
If yes.....how does this process work????
thanks

Get the motul 10w40 fully synthetic. If thats not available you can go for 5w40.

Basically de-clutching and re-engaging the clutch is like a very crude clutch slip. What happens is temporarily the drive gets disconnected, while the engine keeps spinning (because you've held the throttle open). Then when you re-engage the clutch, a surge of power is transmitted, which helps in temporarily giving you a small boost.

BTW, I've done 140kmph pretty easily on a clogged air filter, that too without de-clutching & re-engaging.

Yes, its just a simple plug and play. Remove spark plug lead, remove spark plug, put in new spark plug (make sure the gap is adjusted to specification) and re-attach lead. And if you don't have a torque wrench, finger tighten it, and then give it a 1/4 turn with a wrench. Over tightening damages the delicate brass/copper threads.

Hey, Motul has a 10w40 and a 15w50 (the 300v). Which 5w40 oil are you talking about?

Not tried it yet, but intended to do once the bike has put in about 5000 kms. I got a good look at the kit thought; its workmanship is quality one. I will also look at TBR exhaust system before I take a final call. I was thinking the hotter clam from the kit and TBR exhaut system may also be a good combination.

One suggestion, the daytona exhaust is designed to take advantage of the daytona camsaft, and it actually improves the top-end. Mixing the TBR exhaust with the daytona cam isn't a good idea, because the TBR is designed to work with the stock cam.

Ya

there is that factor. Will need to compare the dimensions of both the exhaust systems before I make a call on that.

Most probably a clogged air filter and also may be incorrect idling speed. Also check for the quality of fuel you are using. Highlight the issue when you take it for the first service.

thanks. will search the markets for it tomorrow itself.

**akhilmuraleedhar** · 02-14-2010, 08:48 AM

top speed could depend on so many factors-tyre pressure,rider weight,any wind resisting luggage,how well the rider is crouched,the airfilter etc .i did 142 @9500rpm with another 1000rpm to go. declutching and stuff may not help.
