Are the sand crystals that hard to abrade the drum surface?Originally posted by aargee View Post
Still haven't recovered from it Sri. It had shattered all my hopes of entering the defense sector. Quite a big sum to pay for my stupidity.Originally posted by SriramEfunds View Post

Looking at chain sprocket, might remind him of that horrible day. Is that correct Sirius?Originally posted by aargee View PostLeave a comment:

Well this reminds me of what happened to my Activa. As soon as I changed the brake shoes to new ones, it lost its bite. A road side mech cleaned it with sand paper and applied fine sand on the shoes and wiped it with paper.Some really fine particles were still adhering to the shoe's surface. Initially there were cracking sounds while driving, but later the braking improved by miles and no sounds were heard.Originally posted by aargee View Post
CAUTION: Try this at your own risk. If you wish to take one.

Whaaat??? Its going to hit reserve this Friday Sri. Forget the month end.Originally posted by SriramEfunds View Post^ Will you hit the reserve again before we tank up for the month end ride? Curious!
Not at all. I'm sure its got nothing to do with air filter; some tuning to be done on carbs that's all. Either I learn it the hard way or learn it easier way through a mechanic.Originally posted by SriramEfunds View PostLeave a comment:

Decided to check the mileage once again based on reserve to reserve basis; Thanks @Sri for the idea. So the reserve was hit at 3850 precisely & going this evening for a full tank.
Edit
Reserve - 3850
Filled - 3859
Quantity - 8.75 lts (Damn fuel price increase!!!)
Oil - 230 ml
Let's see how much this is going to yield.Last edited by aargee; 10-18-2010, 09:09 PM.Leave a comment:

Well, you ought to learn on things so that you don't wanna make them hate you.Originally posted by kb100 View Post
Update - Did the following this weekend
1. Sprocket change
- Hurray, I got a 16T new one today & I got back the same riding effect as previous, but a lot smoother this time The "tuck tuck" sound was due to worn out front sprocket.
2. Cleaned airfilter
3. Cleaned brake shoes & damn!!! I lost the sharpness. Any tips to improvise is appreciated. Tks
4. Wheel truving
5. Made a good wash & it was mostly after removing the fuel tank & seat; so most of the frame is cleaned up now
6. Checked batteries; they don't need topping
7. Cleaned carbs
Did I miss anything during regular servicing?
Meanwhile I noticed this in the clutch dampers. Any idea as why this is happening?
If you wish to know the difference between old & new sprocket, here's a pic for you
