    Ok coming to basics of carburettor tuning, then for tuning the carburettor you first should ensure the following thing.

    1. The carburettor jets should be clean. If they are blocked then you will not be able to tune carb no matter what.

    2. Air filter should be clean. Today manufacturers are giving viscous air filter which gets dirty easily and can't be cleaned. So ensure air filter is clean.

    3. Spark plug is correct and not sorted. It must be giving strong and hard spark.

    OK now coming to actual tuning.

    1. Engine should be sufficiently warm and idling smoothly. Ride for 5-6 kms and get the engine warm.

    2. Shut the engine. Now tighten the air screw slowly till it seats lightly on the end. Now back out and open 1.5 turns by counting .

    3. Now start the bike. Increase idle by idle screw. Increase to 2.5k rpm or more just by hearing. No hard and fast rule.

    4. Now slightly open the air screw, slowly 1/16 th of a turn at a time. You will see the idling increase.

    5. At a point bike idle will be highest. From that if you move the air screw any direction, the idle will decrease. This is the perfect position.

    6. Now decrease the idle to 1100 rpm just by feel. Bike strokes should be smooth and idle speed will be slow. That is the best idling speed.


    And last but not least if any problem, get everything ready and call me. I will guide you by hearing the sound.
    Thanks for the reply
    well i have tried tuning with this method i do get better performance mileage hasn't improved but i have one problem my spark plug is always covered in soot no matter how much i open or close the air screw i have tried different spark plug but when i remove them after a ride all are covered in black powdery soot i don't know whats the problem
    i had gone to a mech for for setting my rpm through tachometer he did the setting and also adjusted valve clearance he told me my valves are defective and damaged and i should change them and quoted the price of valves 1500 that was the first and last time i had gone to him
    do you think the valves are at fault here for the black soot
    i will try the 200 ml pipe method posted by [MENTION=45138]2wtourer[/MENTION] for improving my mileage that was a pretty neat method indeed

              Yes dude, Livo is HET model engine.. and looks cool too, with chainguard. At least parts should be available for old twister, else selling is only option.

                      Check with the MRF Service dealer, they have uniform price all along their outlets over the country.

                        Michelin has just launched New puncture resistance tubeless tyres this 2016. suitable for all commuter bikes of 100cc-125cc.
                        Michelin "City Pro tyres" looks like a better alternative then stock MRF and TVs tyres. available in size 2.75-1741P TL front and 3.00-1750P TL rear. also they are very cheap. what you guys think?

                            A Honda should not give engine problems so early. One of the most positive points of Japs is that their engines are robust and ultra durable.

                            My advice would be to take second opinion. Go to another authorized service center and get it checked properly.

                            Else if you know some trusted mechanic let him have a look and then take an informed decision.
                            It is well known that Authorized service centers would recommend to replace a part completely rather than repairing it. Less time less Labor, so make sure that the problem is diagnosed correctly before opting for any part replacement.
                            I would like to thank my legs for supporting me, my arms for being always by my side and my fingers; I could always count on them.

                              Yes thats what i decided. I left the bike in asc.... let them check ... if they tell me to pay 18000 rs cost of entire engine.....i will get my bike back.... give it to local mech shop. If that doesnt change anything. Engine parts not available. I will ride it as long as it goes. Bike pick up and mileage is also good. 60 to 65 kmple....I dont know why these people claim ridiculous prices.

                              ----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

                              I will never recommend honda to anyone . After sales service worst. non availabilty of part is still a problem.even local mechanics fear to touch honda bikes.

                                Hello Guys,

                                Good to be apart of the team ,

                                I have been going through the forum since past few months,
                                Your opinions really helped me.

                                My 2010 twister has done 31700km today ,

                                Doing well, gives me 58-60 average for office commuting.

                                Only replaced front and rear tyres at 21000km
                                and Air filter at 25000km

                                I need your advice guys :
                                > Whenever I accelerate i get jerk (like the one when we let go the clutch ) ,
                                When I serviced my bike this weekend and asked about the problem, the garage person told to replace chain and sprocket.

                                But I checked the chain and sprocket, they are in good condition. (Slack in 20mm)
