Oh, very sorry for you bro :-( Still Glad to hear you are fine.Originally posted by rajaselvam_1987 View PostToday i faced an accident in my bike
. One Tata ACE F***er hited me from behind even i gave the way for him to go
.. Luckily i got escaped with some small scratches due to proper riding gears. But my bike RH side almost gone, Handle bar got entirely Folded (not a bend) & the tank got dimple near the logo due to handle bar impression. Bumber, foot rest got bended & mirror, indicator gone
.
Try the strip, i've used it like a circle all around the meter. And for the tacho, download this tacho.zipYes it's leaving some place dark i'll also try that strip. If possible give the details for RPM meter.
From your answer itself you are saying non of the honda bikes(not scooters) are using the double coil.Refer the below thread then you'll get the clear picture about our bike coil.
You were right bro. Today I checked the whole circuit inside out from the alternator. It is a single phase alternator with 60vAC alone as output. I have got the circuit from what I tested out today. Will post soon.Last edited by joseph.alukka; 03-12-2013, 09:31 PM.

Its an MRF Zapper C or Q, dont remember exactly. 100mm wide. The tyres come in different varieties and though the fitting area is 17", the outer area can be wider, thicker or broader. My friend has a 120mm tyre on his twister similar to pulsar 220. Also, though the tyre is wider, the area which constantly comes in contact with the road is less with lesser weight, that is why the increased mileage.Originally posted by smartrider View PostWhat's the brand & size of the tyre. Also how can the tyre diameter & width be changed without changing the stock rim diameter(17") & width.

Its sad to hear bro. It pinches more when we have to suffer due to faults of other careless drivers.Originally posted by rajaselvam_1987 View PostToday i faced an accident in my bike

Gave the bike to service center because the handle bar is not available in local.
They quoted 600rs for Handle bar alone and told me to get back the bike by evening 3.00pm
Totally today is BAD day for me.

This is some good mileage. How much KMs covered on Twister till now ? I am quite happy with mileage given by Twister as bike is still in runnin in.Originally posted by rajaselvam_1987 View PostYes due to the bigger dia tyre the mileage is increasing. Mine is 100/90 section, In my bike also I'm getting same 100+kms for 100rs petrol but petrol price is 74rs here.

For a single handle bar change ASC collected 527rs from me. Handle bar rate is 350+177 labour
.
So i brought the side mirror(80rs) from my friend shop. and fixed the foot rest & bumber bend in local mechanic shop he asked only 10Rs.
I'll try as you said for LED Strip& Thanks for the tacho fileOriginally posted by joseph.alukka View PostOh, very sorry for you bro :-( Still Glad to hear you are fine.

Bro, there are 2 coils in it. I have seen it, you can open the crank case and track it neatly. If you dont believe me, check the connector at the LHS panel. There will be 3 connectors from the engine with total 7 wires. 2 Wires are for starter and 1 is for the cdi pulse. The rest 4 wires are from the 2 coils I told about. 2 are green which is phase 1 and 2 and the black is ground and the white is the 60v coil. You can test for yourself and be satisfied. I donno what the people on that thread are doing. They havent specified twister anywhere and they are dealing with single phase alternators only. If you still say we dont have 2 coils, you should explain to me what the 4 wires are doing from the engine which according to you should be 2, ie, gnd and phase.
Yes Seven wires are coming. As you said two is for Starter.
The black wire is not a earth that's for neutral indicator. If you trace a wire it'll go and end in gear shift pedal with end brass clamp.( If you touch this then can not able to relocate it properly, then in your speedo netural green light will glow always even if bike is in gears. which is happened to me.)
From the crank case four wires will come out
2 green - 1 from pulse generator, 1 from coil that is earth
1 white - from coil that is one and only output of coil called phase.
1 blue with yellow - from pulse generator.
Check the piccture which is taken in my bike
I'm using michelin pilot sporty 100/90*17.Originally posted by smartrider View PostWhat's the brand & size of the tyre. Also how can the tyre diameter & width be changed without changing the stock rim diameter(17") & width.
Bro our stock size is 80/80*17
Here
1st 80 is width
2nd 80 is percentage of the width which is the height of tyre these all are in mm
17 is Dia of the inner circle of tyre which is equal to the RIM size which is in inches
17inch = 17*25.4 = 431.8mm
for our stock tyre
width = 80mm
height = 80*80% = 64mm
So over all dia = 431.8 + 64*2 = 559.8
My bike tyre is 100/90*17
Width = 100mm
Height = 100*90% = 90mm
Over all dia = 431.8 + 90*2 = 611.8
So 52 mm increased in over all dia of tyre.
As per today evening my twister is 33444 kmsOriginally posted by MoonLight View PostThis is some good mileage. How much KMs covered on Twister till now ? I am quite happy with mileage given by Twister as bike is still in runnin in.
120mm will definitely rub with the chain guard. Even my 100mm will rub with guard when it get punctured,Originally posted by smartrider View PostIs 120mm a safe choice?Won't it contact the frame or shock absorbers & also won't it have any other negatives.
And also 120mm will be more in weight so it'll affect the engine performance & Pickup.

Friend after seen him in the side mirror i went to almost left edge of the road & gave him a free bath. But he hitted & dragged me to the middle of the road but not even stopped to check what happened, the injures are not paining me more but the thing he dint stopped is paining me moreOriginally posted by smartrider View Post"My regrets Mr.Rajaselvam".The roads are full of idiots these days.So, accidents are becoming more common & unavoidable.Bro,keep your eyes wide open.Atleast we could reduce the impact."God bless".
. Nowadays Humanitarian is getting reduce don't know where it's going to end

He says there is barely any gap between the swing arm and tyre, but it doesnt run anywhere and he has been using for several months now. Anyway 120mm is the max that can be used and I'd say go no more than 110.Originally posted by smartrider View PostIs 120mm a safe choice?Won't it contact the frame or shock absorbers & also won't it have any other negatives.

Bro it was my mistake, I had edited my previous post, guess you missed it. I checked the complete circuitry today. 3 wires from alternator. The alternator as I tested was 60vac single phase. I had mistaken the 2 green wires as 2 phases and when I checked in detail today, found they both were joined together in the connector. The negative switched neutral was another point of confusion. Thanks for being patient with me
After today's checkup I might have a simple way to switch this bike to dc for anyone without any cutting. Give me 2 more days so that I can test the trick out. Ill also make a circuit diagram.

Hi all,
My Twister went for first service today..total cost rs. 223( cost of 800 ml engine oil ). While looking at owner's manual I came to know engine oil centrifugal filter and engine oil strainer screen has to be cleaned in first service. Now I am sure same has not been done by service guy. Now, I asked a local mechanic about it and he said Twister does not have oil filter
and he was servicing Twister there. I just nodded my head and left.
Can somebody please post short/long DIY about how to clean these two things ie strainer screen and oil filter.

No need to clean it bro, it is not a very critical component like the air filter. It is deep inside the crank case, so if you open up the crank after draining all the engine oil, you might need to replace all the gaskets for the crank case. Bother about it only after 40k, and even if you dont, wont affect you in anyway.
