I always want to be a DIY guy and also like to keep the bike in perfect shape but I just don't know how to go about it and also do not want to mess up with my bike. Actually I find it to be great fun to get the hands greased and this would be a good opportunity to be more close to my rideOriginally posted by dafc View Post

First purchase some basic mechanic tools. Then start exploring the bike having workshop manual beside. For the start up, you can open the plug and air filter and do the maintenance.Originally posted by Ri$hi View PostI always want to be a DIY guy and also like to keep the bike in perfect shape but I just don't know how to go about it and also do not want to mess up with my bike.

After going through the DIY section, I started doing few things like cleaning the filter element with detergent and water and installing it back, checking the water level on the battery and cleaning the drive chain and lubricating it.Originally posted by SriramEfunds View PostFirst purchase some basic mechanic tools.

Still a long way to go.Last edited by Ri$hi; 01-26-2012, 04:02 AM.

Is your throttle cable routed properly? It should come out from the side right above the indicator stay and not the meter plateOriginally posted by Ri$hi View PostI am unable to adjust the throttle free play by adjusting the nut, what could be the cause for that?RIP ਕਾਕਾ ਭੈਣੀਆਂਵਾਲਾ (Santokh Singh Rataurh)

Tightening and loosening the nut doesn't make any difference in the freeplay. I just checked it, the cable is coming on top of the speedo. So does it have to come from the side? Haven't noticed this beforeLast edited by Ri$hi; 01-27-2012, 11:54 AM.

Yes it has to come from the side, if it is routed near the speedo you won't get the correct freeplayOriginally posted by Ri$hi View PostTightening and loosening the nut doesn't make any difference in the freeplay.
