      the bike is ready, just the sticker work left. Even I'm waiting to find some time for this new job and get the job done asap. Would surely post good quality pics with a 1000D in a couple of days for sure

          And its a damn head turner!

            Finally!!!

            The stickers were done and the bike was coated with the clear coat. Now its shining as bright as a diamond. It surely a head turner. Turned 65 heads in a run of 40 km


            Was able to take it up to around 100kmph on speedo after which it started fluttering as if it would hit the reserve!!! (any suggestions/guesses??). Along with that the bike desperately needs to be converted to All DC as the horn behaves as if its has a choked voise on low RPMs and become a police siren with the indicators on

            As for now clicked a couple of pics on the NH8. Here are they:

              Congratulations

              Champ, you deserve a high-five (many in fact). The Yam has turned into a beauty - looks as graceful as a thoroughbred. How much lighter does your wallet feel?

              About the sputtering - I read this on Cybersteering - The complete guide to Indian Cars. It was written for the Bullet, but I guess it holds good for most bikes.

              'Fuel-flow: If the bike starts stuttering after a few seconds at high speeds, you can suspect that the fuel flow is insufficient.
              It may be sufficient at low speeds, but at higher speeds, the higher consumption is not replenished fast enough, and the level in the carb keeps reducing until the carb leans out and causes uneven running. If the bike runs fine at any speed for a while and then stutters at ANY speed, again starting after a while, then a vacuum-lock is suspect. The fuel flowing out of the tank causes a vacuum if the tank-vent is clogged and the gasket is airtight. This reduces the rate of flow, causing the mentioned problem.

              Just pull out the fuel-pipe from the carb and run it into a large transparent bottle. On turning on the fuel-tap, a healthy flow should ensue. It should not falter as the bottle is filled.
              Slow flow or flow that keeps reducing confirms the above problems respectively.
              The sources could be clogged tap, clogged filter in tank, or clogged vent. The remedy is easy. Removing and reassembling the tap will correct the problem. You don't even have to drain the tank totally. Tilting the bike (or tank) will enable work with tank almost half-filled. The trouble is not always due to dirt/rust. Sometimes the rubber-washer in the tap gets misaligned or stretched affecting the flow.

              Float-Valve: Flooding of the carb is the symptom. The cause could be dirt/rust from petrol keeping the valve open, wear of the valve causing leaks, or punctured float sinking. Open the float-bowl and look for rust; hold the float up and turn on the tap to see if there is any flow still; oscillate the float to check if there is any fuel trapped in it. Usually, it is the rust/dirt.

              Water in fuel: Misfiring developing after rain, etc, indicates this. Check out the float bowl of the carb to confirm. You need not throw away the fuel in the tank. Drain it into some clean bottles or jerrycan. You can siphon back the fuel after the water settles. Before that, remove the tank from the bike and dry it out. The water settles in the bottom, and not all will be drained through the tap. On running, it will again mix with the fuel and may land in the carb once more.

              Inlet leaks: If the joint between the carb and head is not airtight, air will be drawn into the engine thru it, reducing mixture-strength. The effect of this is more when the throttle is closed, and the volume of air thru carb is less. (Think about it!)
              Which means that the engine won't start easily, and will not idle properly, though it may run OK at higher speeds. Reassembling the joint with new spacer/gasket and O-ring is a diagnostic + cure, but in an emergency, you can wrap the joint with a moist rag or smear a sticky soap all round the edge of the joint, for a temporary cure.
              But if you insist on a pure diagnostic, you can dribble some petrol on the joint as you kick the starter. The petrol (very) temporarily seals the leak - until it gets sucked in. Which enriches the mixture and starts the engine.

              Carb settings: Now this is not a diagnostic, just very useful advice!
              The carb settings are slightly different for each bike, depending on the characteristics of that particular carb and condition of the engine. Even if you had it tuned by someone else, it is essential to know the correct position of the air-screw and idle-screw. Urchins or idle parking-lot attenders sometimes absent-mindedly scramble these, and you might have to correct them before the engine will start!

              Mixture Strength: This can be judged from the colour of the spark-plug insulator and electrodes. It is something you would do in tuning, not troubleshooting, so we'll deal with it later.

                      Hey Smokers!

                      I hope all of you out there had a look of the recently restored RXZ.

                      Although everything looks perfect on the surface, there are some problems that I'm facing. The feel of that authentic RX is missing. I mean its just a noisy roadster. No kick at all. Before the restoration, the bike used to pop clutchless wheelies even in second. However, now I cant do it even in the first gear.

                      Also, the clutch seems to act a bit wired. It feels as if it has been tightened to much. Whenever I try to take it to a bit higher rev range, it behaves like the clutch has been engaged half way (as if the bike is stillin neutral). I tried adjusting the clutch, but everything in vain. Can this be because the clutch set up is new? But I have completed more than 200 kms.

                      Help

                        Guys!

                        HP filter plonked, 5 speed carb installed, would soon upjet as well. The bike is a rocket and does 90 without a glitch!

                        Cosmetically, installed TB headlight (wiring needs to be done, confused over the bulb...suggestions please!!!) and the bike is looking cool!

                        The roar of a bike is worth listening and it does turn every head on the road....Delhiites, you just might hear it

                              4S - 165 & 17.5
                              5S - 155 & 15

                              Opinion - DO NOT upjet. But if you upjet, prepare to learn (welcome to the world of troubles)
