    i told you Argee your bike must be fluttering. forget about the airscrew. if the carb is original nothin happens to it unlesss its overtightened. besides by looking at the pics, do i see coarse carbon deposits? i feel the stock filter on ur bike is either too old or a local one. switch to a UNI or a good filter asap.

    @ Aargee - Try using a UNI or K&N RC1100

    if there is fluttering then jetting is off, you are running too rich, go down on main jet size, they are rite for filter use UNI filter.

    Thanks @Psycho, I'm glad to hear.
    Now, will I be able to get a new air screw? The vehicle is sputtering a lot & I guess there're some problems with airscrew & also, the idling is either too high or the engine dies in less than 5-6 seconds. I'm not sure, someone from our circle told me that FS carbs should not have stock air filters & should use something better for breathing. What's your suggestion on this?

    Nice looks good ride on for another 500+ like this then lean out the airscrew a little thereafter.

    600 & then 700-800 in one shot

    Keeping the post short & simple...
    600 clocked near L&T Infotech Porur
    700 clocked just before Mathuranthagam
    800 clocked at entrance of Chennai bye-pass at Tambaram end

    Current reading on ODO - 828. For people wondering (esp Raghav & Undefineme) how I managed...
    Started at 4:15 AM from home this morning, made a to & fro journey upto Achchirapakkam which is just before Tindivanam & back at home by 9:00.

    Was itching to cross 700 so that I could pick up some more speed. Finally when I crossed 700 & started speeding between 60-70. To be frank, here's the readout:
    619 - At home started at 4:15
    723 - At Achchirapakkam at 7:00
    829 - At home at 9:00

    Made a rigourous test from 741 to 801 in 59 minutes; the engine contained still the same heat & I could touch the cylinder head bare hand for a second or so & the casing for about 2-3 seconds. This was the same case when I checked at ODO 700.

    So this makes me feel that the rings have got adjusted to the cylinder in position. Last evening, I adjusted the gear pedals to stock position & as of now I'm keeping my fingers crossed & not commenting on the gear shift; let me run for another few 100 Kms & post the updates here.

    500 - better late than never

    Clocked 400 on Monday evening on the way to the regular fuel pump; 500 on entering into office campus yesterday. As I write this, the ODO clocked about 560 odd Kms.

    The gear shifts are biggest headache till now, neither I haven't been able to take it to mech nor he's able to come down to check. But, its not as serious like last week like stranding in the middle of road blocking the traffic, may be the issues are clearing or may be I've adjusted to the issue. There's a false neutral between every gear is for sure & these false neutrals are not to be seen in the cold engine.

    Since Y'day I'm revving the engine little in each of the gear, however waiting to cross 50 Kmph mark after 600 or so. Its like this...
    1 - between 5-10
    2- upto 30
    3 - upto 40
    4 - upto 50
    5 - Maintain 50-55

    @Psycho - its difficult to say which is new; in simple words, except the disc brake setup, front headlamp, clutch wire, clutch lever, clutch side rubber cover, all other parts are brand new. When I say new, that means the mud flaps from the rear to the front mud guard, every single item is new. Its like a brand new motorcycle coming out of the home instead of factory.
