    for height issue it would be better to replace the shocks with a shorter one.

        Yes.
        As a rule of thumb, change the AF every 10k kms and spark plug every 12k kms. Keep the older plug as spare.

            My bike has developed a lot of rust, specially on the tank(the clamps holding the front plastic wings, which are welded on to the tank and the fuel line coming out of the tank). The clamps have developed deep rust, i removed as must as i could and painted it. I am really worried about the rust problems now.

ID:	1862613Removed this from the tank today. the top plasticky thing was very dirty(almost mud like particles on it). What is it? And can it be replaced with a new one? If yes how much will it cost?

                Hello everyone!
                I want to do some modifications to my Twister.
                I've some ideas I want to share with you guys.

                First off, I've a spare MRF ZAPPER C 100/90 - 17, can I fit it on front rim? I know it will unbalance the bike, but to what extent?

                Secondly, I'm thinking to remove headlight assembly and get a round light fitted.

                Third, I'm thinking to give it whole matte black paint job and orange details.

                Other ideas coming in soon.

                  my local mechanic calls it a "petrol cock"...i am not sure if that is the actual name. you can get a new one from Honda service center. dont know know the exact price but it will be in the range of Rs 250-400. you can remove that black knob(i.e fuel ON/OFF/Reserve knob) by removing the screw at center.

                    Do not fit Rear tyre at front....its risky and not safe...also front tyre should ideally be smaller size then the rear one. front tyre is designed for better maneuverability....rear one wont do that properly and you will face handling problems.

                      I went to honda, they told me also that its called a petrol cork and costing around 350. A mechanic told me its in good condition and does not need to be changed, so i cleaned it with some petrol and fitted it back. I also painted the under side of the tank to prevent it from further rusting.

                          dude, there is some kind of filter net like thing surrounding it....can it be removed and fitted back after cleaning? I noticed this on my bike too... it was looking bit dirty/reddish color...but i was not sure if it was due to dirt accumulation or its due to color of petrol which is also reddish.

                            I did not have and net around it, so i dont really know what you are talking about. Mine was also dirty, i washed it with petrol; and a toothbrush and fitted it back.

                              i can remember there was a net like thing made of some soft cloth like material..... it was a kind of filter surrounding that stick to block any larger dirt particles in fuel.

                                Hey guys. I am having handle bar vibration problem in my bike. Friend of mine told there might be wheel alignment issue which could cause such vibration.
                                What should I do?
