  • Comet Garage Ver VIII

    Hi Guys,

    I am back!! have been in bit by the offroad bug for the past coupe of quarters.

    Some Video of the Comet Offroading: YouTube - Gearheads Devarabetta OTR 20110501_4

    I found Javad the SBK mechanic to come down & help me (actually execute) this round of fixes, he fixed My bike, My Bro's ZMA & Vaidee's Comet in a couple of weeks time frame.

    List of thing done:

    Carburetor cleaning & retune, now it has low milage but man it glides & zooms
    Air-filter cleaning & oiled with the K&N kit
    All Cables cleaned & lubed
    Break Pads & Disk cleaning
    Break Fluid Top up
    Engine oil changed to motul 300V
    Chain Cleaned & Lubed
    Battery charged (I bought the charger its only 500 INR)
    Levers & Bearings greased with skf
    Spark Plugs cleaned
    Wiring harness cleaned.

    Many small but long term nagging Issues resolved
    rpm light was not glowing
    loose connection with the air horn clamps
    Bar end mirrors not lock tight
    The Clutch lever touching the guard panels
    Relay check for the HID's

    The vehicle now really glides & flys,
    No throttle response lag at-all !!

    in Fact when Vaidee rode my comet he started complaining that his is not tuned correctly, later after a week he said, the change from mine to his made it feel like that as he things its working fine now.

    I am loving it & Thanks to Javad for the wonderful job.
    unlike his bro Dr Irshad he dose not charge a bomb & the best part is home service (door seep) all tools are carried to your door step in a activa, every thing fixed right in front of you to your satisfaction & service charge seemed reasonable at RS 1900 for GT-250, I would highly recommend him, his number is 9980197889 give him My reference (Comet Sunil form XBHP).

    Let the pics speak.


























    Vaidee's Bike









    Cheers
    Sunil

              HI vkuchhal,

              He has lots of contacts, and in the field for almost coupe of decades.
              We can get alternatively arrange for parts via shipping/courier or hand carry them & request him to fix Issues as-well.

              Cheers
              Sunil

                  Thats must be the most taken care after Comet 250 in India! It has to be! With the introduction of the 650 and possibly the 250s again by Garware next year things will definitely get easier from a spares perspective for you.

                  Also, where is your helmet in the video! :X

                    i like the usage of the vacuum gauge... This guy surely knows his work.. very difficult to get such a good mech!

                        @ strider Sure sir we should.

                        @Sunny Bhai Thanks, Hoping to see spares here.

                        The helmet is saving the crash guard and the bike, you see skin heals but no spares for repair Jokes apart, I was guiding all the jeeps climb up so had kept the helmet latched to the bike & rode it the same way up hill. point take, I do were helmets on roads but in offroading at the spot feel better visibility & control otherwise.

                        @ jd666 I have a pair at home too, the analog type, yes he is good real good & best part is no attitude & not very expensive.

                        @ pushprajpradhan, post tuning average is lower (by how much, do not really know) never checked it for the past 3 to 4 years it used to give 25 to 30 based on spirited riding or not

                        He will come to Mumbai if the expenses are paid, I guess you will find good mechs in Mumbai too, but for places like Bubneshwar, one Mr Dev used to call me regularly they can benefit if 2 to 3 super bikes can pare up & pay for his travel + services + stay for a couple of days.

                        Cheers
