    Thank you Sharan. I doubted it to be disc and hence the 'could be' in bold italic . As I was replying my PC hung up on me.
    I was also trying to ask him to check the wheel bearings which I've edited now .

    Getting angry at somebody is the same as getting angry with a bike that just won't go. You should stop and start thinking.

        Just hit my head mate. Also check for uneven tyre wear, chain slack and the damper on the caliper itself.
        The good thing is even if the actual issue is not sorted out you can atleast ensure the other mechanicals are in place, seriously!

          i dont think there is any issue with the tyre because its periodically checked and my bike has gone only 11xxx kms in almost two years
          i will get other things mentioned but i feel bearings must have dried and cud need greasing, saw a video on youtube similar noise i am getting..

            Go on. Hope it ends with the greasing or replacement of bearings. Check a 'similar' DIY in my signature if you are a DIYer. Good luck!

            • Re: carburetor pilot screw tunning

              Yesterday, I examined my bike's spark plug. It's tip was showing greyish white color, which was indicating a slightly lean mixture. I would like to make it a bit richer.
              So do I have to turn pilot screw clockwise or anticlockwise to make a richer mixture.

              I tried goggling a lot for this but still confused whether our dazzler carburetor's pilot screw is a air screw (clockwise richer in this case) or a fuel screw (anticlockwise richer in this case)

              I would be glad if someone can throw some light on this.

                are u talking about the screw below the carburator??it projects out rite??
                if its that what your talking about then that is used only to adjust idle speed...as far as i know.

                  No, not that. Pilot screw is on the opposite side. Its a tiny golden color brass screw which controls the air/fuel mixture.

                    This thread should point you in the right direction.
                    Had you searched earlier in the forum you would have got it already ! Good luck!

                        Thanks bro, but the thread is only helping to exactly locate the pilot screw on carb but doesn't clearly states whether it is a air screw or fuel screw. In video both the air & fuel screws are mentioned & their functionality explained.

                        What i want to know particularly is whether our Dazzler's carb is having a air screw or a fuel screw.

                          It is one screw adjusting both air and fuel mixture..

                            No, you got it wrong.
                            That one screw does adjust air/fuel mixture but it is very important to know whether it is a air screw or fuel screw for turning it in clockwise/anticlockwise direction to make the air-fuel mixture richer or leaner as per requirements.

                              Most commonly, the brass screw is the fuel screw - Clockwise (lean mixture) and Anticlockwise - (Rich mixture). The air screw is for idle adjustment. I can only say this should be the same in Dazzler as well. You need to clean the plugs and fiddle around with the brass screw first. Make note of default turns before changing any settings so that you can revert back.

                                Okies.....so may be dazzler is having a fuel screw, but it still needs to be 100% confirmed, I guess. May be I will still search on this for couple of days or else let me try turning the pilot screw a bit anticlockwise to make it richer & then have a look at spark plug. will update on that later.
                                [MENTION=62914]petrolhead_chn[/MENTION]: Btw. I thought you own a dazzler, anyways thanks for the help
