There are a few basic questions i need to clarify.
1. Why is there a neutral between each gear? my mech said if you are cruising on a highway you can just drop it in one of the neutrals and let inertia do the rest.
Thats pure bull crap. its just a shortcoming not a feature as mentioned above by the others.
2. When i am i 4th gear and need to stop should i lower the gears all the way to the neutral just below the 1st gear?
if you can without any problem do should. if not then stop and then take it to neutral.
3. How much does a good rear tyre cost? The wobbling i felt was cuz the rear tyre is worn out and is so smooth at the center that there is no grip at all.
A MRF 3.50 is the best for it just go for this one if you are going for a 19incher. this will be no more than 1200 including tube. i have done nice leaning using this tyre no problem with the grip and it wears slow.
4. There is an extra sound i hear from the engine. A metallic sound everytime i rev the bike or even during riding. My mech says its something called bore slapping and i need to get the engine serviced. Is he right and should i go in for a total overhauling which another RE expert estimated to be around Rs. 8000!
since when did this start after you went for the trip or it was from the begining. just check if the oil level is going down. it may be that it just needs a ring change....
go for getting the cycle parts sorted first if you by chance open up the whole thing get the chassis painted... once you are done with the cycle parts then go for the body.. oh that does notmean that you do not get the engine done
By the way i have a Advise. remember always this is not a RX100. if you thinking why i am saying this check my Signature at the end of the post.
