What is small bolt on exhaust for ??? (circled in red)

It is probably for checking the CO level. I guess that's where the probe is attached.

guys...
happened to have my first fall today....

guy in alto overtook me and he stopped the car suddenly!!!!! i was behind him... tried to use the front disk at full throw but the handle was a lil turned and the bike skid...lucky to fall on the road side

also kucky to escape without any injury, except for my fren who was the pillion (skin on his thumb got peeled off

)

immediately after lifting up the bike i ve seen the 'engine trouble warning light' flashing...bike din start for some time, but i turned off the main switch n after some time switched it on(din see the warning light flash again)....it started normally...

now, is there anything to worry? shud i take the bike to the SVC?

secondly the R15 sticker on the right panel is visibly scratched!!! where can i get a new one? SVC or showroom?

No need for SVC centre. The engine light came up, because the tilt sensor sensed that the bike has toppled over, and killed the engine. Its a safety feature in the bike. If still again during normal riding the engine warning light comes, then the bike should be checked.

Thats to fit a lambda sensor or C0 sensor like ritwik said, to tune the Fuel Injection system correctly.

can service centers tune the Fuel Injection System???

Arre dude, its pretty simple to do the usual maintenance stuff. Physically working hard, getting sweaty and dirty is a small price to pay for work done to your satisfaction and the knowledge of how it works. Striving to achieve that. Haven't taken my ride to an svc for 7k kms now.

They can just change the CO value. The Fi runs by itself. Not like a carb, which needs re-tuning.

Maintenance for the Fi would be periodically getting the injectors cleaned.

Hoc can it be done and as far as I have seen the SVC guys dont have FID unit to do this thing in my city, Any alternative

**jd666** · 07-06-2010, 03:19 AM

^^ buy a FID unit and keep it with you, like many others have.

I bought a new r15 a month and a few days back and it was giving me 22 kmpl after i got the 1st service done I still see no effect and its giving around 24-26. What can I do to improve this?

This is a very open question!
Tell us about your riding habits (what speeds you ride at, what RPMs you shift at), how much is the odo readin, and if you did the run-in as per the manual, and we could be of help then.

I am drive normally at 60 and the current ODO reading is 530. Before 500 Kms I used to shift at 4-5 RPM. but after service was done and 500 kms were touched I shift at 6-7 also sometimes when I dont feel the need to use throttle while moving on a busy street, I pull the clutch fully and let the bike move (RPM 1k. Idle). Does that matter too?

I wish I could, by the way what must be its cost, where can I get one and what are the things I can do with it. I hope I'm not asking too many questions at the same time.

If you are riding at 60 at 4-5k RPM you should be getting best FE. In case you're doing on speeds of 60 at 8-9k RPM (i.e 2nd gear), then it is bound to bring the FE down.
What method are you using to calculate the FE? Are you getting the low FE from before the service you got done at 500KMs?

I drive at 60 with 4-5k RPM. I am using trip to calculate how much fuel is being used. Whenever I get fuel refilled I reset the trip.

Dude i know FI runs by itself ... but for your info we can tune the AFR ratio , am just asking here can service guys can do it or not !!!

As in, are you using full-tank to full-tank method?
There seems no problem with the way you are riding. I think you might be calculating the FE incorrectly. Please elaborate on how you are calculating it.

To calculate FE I fill the tank fully and then reset the trip meter. is this way wrong?
