    Hello everyone,
    My brake light switch (rear brake) is not working. I have searched this one to replace in ASCs in bangalore and coimbatore. Nowhere it is available. Can we use CB shine Switch for Twister??

      Guys I need to change the front tire and I'm thinking of upsizing to 80/90-17 because I haven't found any 70/100-17 tire apart from TVS ones which are pathetic! Only Ceat and MRF tires are available here. Please help!

        Got Ceat Zoom 90/90-17 for INR 1450/- on front.

          Hi All,
          Owner of this bike since almost 4 Yrs and run about 45k Kms, regularly serviced at the authorized centre. i use it for daily communication to my office and getting mileage between 67-70. The only modification I did is with back tyre which is now 90/100-17 Ceat tubeless tyre. Since a while My bike was shacking a lot on the roads specially during turns and uneven roads. The local mechanic told me that the front suspension rood has a bend, he took 450 Rs for repairing it but got the same issue within a month. I had spend Rs450 again on its repair but facing same problem again. I am planning to change the front suspension with the new ones, Do you people have any suggestions? Whether to go with original Twister suspensions or any other alternate and best suspensions?

            I met with an pretty bad accident earlier this year that left me and my bike in bad form. One of the two front forks took hard beating and got a slight bent. ASC repaired the whole bike within a day except the bent fork, for which they took 2 days to get the forks perfect. They worked on it twice and took small rides to make sure they were all good.
            The ASC manager was a friend of friend so that made them do a nice job.
            I'd suggest you to take it to ASC(in case you haven't) or a suspension expert in your city.

            Cheers

              The whole suspension rarely needs replacement , just the bad parts . Or maybe it's not a suspension problem at all , maybe the T-stem or wheel bearings etc - there are many possibilities for the type of vibrations you mentioned . Obviously your mechanic hasn't been able to pinpoint the bad parts . So best is to visit the ASC and ask them to solve it .

                the first time i got the front suspension repaired, the local mechanic fixed the bend n also changed the bearings too. All went good for 2 months but it again started giving same trouble. The second time i visited ASC they told me to replace them So got it fixed from same mechanic. But trouble started again n now planning to replace it.

                    Mine had exhaust valve tight and inlet valve loose i think ( or vice versa). Its very difficult to rotate the valve adjusting screw, i had trouble with the exhaust valve as it was stuck, took way more time than normal to finally set it. My recommendation is to get the tappet adjust tool if you can find it, saves a lot of time
                    Do speed breakers break speed or break backs !!!

                      thanks man, trying to get that tool.. difficult to find it. Meanwhile my neo completed 8500 kms. air filter changed at 8k but didnt improve the tingling vibes(can be felt in handlebar) I fiddled with carburetor and adjusted 1/8 turns richer and idle speed little more and engine now sounds and smoothened like bought new and no tingling sensation. Not sure how. Guys.. is there any problems in running richer deviating from factory setting? Maybe if the valve clearance is set right I can go back to original settings I hope. Really love my bike neo inspite of small issues because its mileage always above 56(max 75kmpl)

                      new setting

                        hi, may be the rubber bushings need replacement. we had discussed similar issue on this forum. check page 202, 203 and let us know the more details. http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/motorcyc...203-print.html

                          Hey,
                          I've had a twister for 2 years now and I am looking to give it a full paint job as the colours have worn out now. I would like suggestions of colours or patterns that would look nice on my twister. I've replaced the stock handlebars with clip ons. My twister is currently black in colour. I would also like to find out good places in chennai where they would do that paint job at resonable prices,

                          thanks in advance.

                            Finally I have set it dude, I removed the petrol tank and it was easier. The motor is little different from twister too as valve cover is smaller in height. Have posted pictures here.
