Re: Bajaj Avenger - All versions
Originally posted by maneeshmenon View PostGuys, this is my first post here.... Recently bought a used 2011 Avy 220.... Rode a lot of used ones before finalizing on the one that i bought.....the engine felt smooth and had a proper service history..... Few queries
1. I am having a ground clearance issue especially when I have a pillion. It scrapes most of the speedbreakers if I don't really slow down the bike. Initially it was scraping all speedbreakers and found that the rear shocks were in the position of least travel, which I adjusted. But still the bottom keeps scraping on above average sized humps whenever I have a pillion. What could be the problem?
2. I get a FE of 32 kmpl in normal riding and about 40 if I consciously ride it under 60 kmph. Is this figure fine?
3. I am intending to change the rear tyre to 140/90/15 instead of the standard 130/90/15. How does this affect FE?
For your info, the bike has done 31k on the odo and has no modifications.
Thanks
2. FE is another problem with Avy - You will always get less than 40. The reason for this (as I understand bike mechanics) - it develops lot of torque from 0 to 7k rpm (at which it max outs) - also note that its detuned pulser engine developed for cruiser. In simple words, speed/pickup/acceleration that you get riding with 10kg weight, you will get the same when carrying 150kg weight being a torquey machine - you won't see this phenomenon in sports bikes (notice difference in acceleration on ascent and riding pulsor or R15 alone Vs with pillion rider).
3. Not a expert so can't answer.
4. Reaching speed beyond 80-100 : Believe me, if you can't reach beyond 80, there is definitely some problem with bike (carb, engine tuning etc.). The bike comfortably goes till 100-110 and can do these speeds all day even with pillion. Yes its important to note that this is not sports bike, so you will attain high speeds north of 80 only gradually - not like ktm duke which can touch 100 in 5-6 secs.
Let me know if you have more queries.
Cheers,
Prasad M

Originally posted by theanand View PostI guess the tyres have been kind to me. I changed my first set at around 48,000 kms and the second set is still going alright.

You might have been a careful rider too
As some of the other avenger-men here have advised to use a "slime fluid" which you push into the tube and it blocks the airflow in case of a puncture, have you ever used this product?

Help urgent... Please reply
After a general service and changing front tyre to Mrf zapper fx-1 100/80-17 of Yamaha FZ... Now the bike struggles to reach 100kmphr and has got lots of shivering. When shown to service center they tweaked the air and fuel mixture of carburetor but doesn't show significant changes... What all should I check and tell service center guys... Upto 80km it's OK and fine...after that only problem starts... Please help

Price of 7100 - approx 780/-
Price of 5100- aprox 570/-

I also get a psi filled like front 28 back 32. Trust me the bike is really awasome. And I am using nitrogen.click me

Re: Bajaj Avenger - All versions
Hi guys...any avvy owner from indore here?
I need one suggestion
I have 220 cruise brought it in nov 15.
She is 10500 km old
My bike was making weird clicking sound from clutch section and there was lot of vibration from the beginning. I noticed that sound when met bajaj avenger club and noticed sound of there bike... It was very clear.
Then i took my bike for service again (all free service done)
Bajaj serviceman checked the bike by opening clutch section and said that balancing gear is fine we have to check rocker arm and head assembly.
I denied them because i didn't think that that was the problem.
Then i managed to agree them to change the balancing gear ..
When they changed it my bike was smooth vibration was 70% gone
But the sound was not ok.
So i took the bike to our clubs mechanic
He opened clutch plate ..AND GUESS WHAT GUYS... One of the plate was fitted in opposite direction
Clutch plate didn't have any oil in it .it was running empty.
How company can put a clutch plate in backward direction?
I used motul 7100 oil with a lubricant so to reduce the sound of vibration
Now the sound is great.
My main problem is
Bikes acceleration is reduced after changing oil and balancing gear and correctly fitting clutch plate.
My bike can hardly go 120 kmph max
What would be the problem?

Originally posted by arjunb25 View PostWell as you are quoting these price list for this engine oil and above all toy are suggesting me to use mineral only I think then I will stay with moto 4 gold 20w50 as this oil is a mineral oil. But as you must have read in my lady post I was asking about motul 20w50 engine oil which is itself a mineral oil right. Correct me if I am wrong.Phoenix Came, Saw and Conquer My Heart, Forever...

If you are sure that the engine is the main culprit then check the clutch plate condition. Worn out clutch plates may be the reason of the struggle.Phoenix Came, Saw and Conquer My Heart, Forever...
