  • Engine Bore For Yezdi Roadking

    Hey guys, first post here. like the title says this is my first bike and i am new to riding bikes, so feel free to point out the obvious because i might be missing it.

    so i purchased my first bike, a 1994 yezdi roadking cdi. for those curios on $$$, 25k.

    so why a yezdi? many reasons: love for the culture which inspired the cafe racer, disbelief in value for money in the greedy modern world, minimal budget, wisdom that good basics are the most vital elements of experience and the bike looks amazing in terms of its basic structure.

    now that being said, i understand the road isnt easy, which is why you find me here as i face a roadblock.

    so the scene is the bike obviously has the difficult kick but my mates who are experienced could start it. though not neccesarily in one go all the time. now recently it had faced a problem, it was not started via kick but by push only, but that it stopped and we had to push it all the way up to a mech. painful, he tweaked the coil a bit and said needed new one. so i go down to opera house and get one. bike started. mech was able to do it well as well. even i was able to start it quite a few times (newb) and however it seems recently i left it a little open and its gotten all cold, no bhurr nothing. - so thats the current scene of the bike -

    now i need a lot of help, i need to know if its normal for its starting to be such a damn hassle or if something is amiss in my engine. i live in mulund, if any of you yezdians have a few hours to spare, can you take a look at the bike and get me acquainted with it?

    on online help. a friend told me that using irradium spark plug and a knN air filter will make the kick much easier, is that true and are there are other such mods which help make the bike more comfortable?

    i have to travel approx 50kms a day. mulund to bandra and back, if there is anything that comes in your mind that can be done to a yezdi to make this journey easier, do tell.

        update: good and bad news, i succesfully took a round, bad news: i might have left the choke on overnight, it was kicking easily earlier today but then suddenly became difficult, i fell once too, no problem in starting bike after that but a little while later, the watchman couldnt shift gears so we kick started it a lot, later it becomes much harder to kick and when i tried a while ago BOOOOOOOOOOM, bad noise and i just hear chains now, no noise, internet tells me ive banged the coil. any ideas?

        i just want to know if i havent ****ed it up majorly, kinda scared for the bike.

          on another note, would it be good to upgrade to a high quality 12v coil like bosch if i can score one in opera house?

                Also he got ripped off, paying 25k for that Yezdi in that condition.
                I am back!

                    Engine Bore For Yezdi Roadking

                    I own Yezdi roadking and while running in full throttle there is no problem in the engine it runs smooth and after leaving the accelerator at zero throttle I found some "hitting sound" from the engine somewhere in the bore. My mechanic told problem in the engine bore and need to change of bore.

                    Already engine had rebored two times.

                    I need information where can I get New bore for my Yezdi Roadking and price and specification of the bore.

                    Cheers,
                    Green

                        There are no New bores available.
                        AFAIK Hitting sound is okay. Should not be a problem. Too difficult to infer what that hitting noise could be.

                        Dont rebore and waste the bore.
