Well we had the same problem during the last runs, tom was complaining by heavy
vibrations on the handle bar. The way he described the thing, sounded very similar to
the way you did.
we let out some air from rear, and it improved a lot

stick to stock air pressure, check shocks (rear), swing arm bushes, wheel trueing, tighten chasis bolts, check wheel alignment

My swing arm bushes are shot, plastic ones.

as jaggu put it - check both shocks, check your forks/bearings, definately check your wheels for tune/alignment. Also check if your tyres/tubes internally are OK - at times there are additional patches of tyre material put in to provide cover for weak structures. - will cause handling issues.

Firstlly get your wheels trued.
Buy the Pulsar extra wide rim and then install the 110/90/18 Tyres like I have on the RZ.
Then fix your swing arm bushing.
You should have no problems after that.
Also chk the rubers that the handle bars are mounted on. SOmetimes they get hard.

Ramchand..reading the whole story i feel you need more powerful brakes. go for a disc set up.did any one try the Eliminator front end on the RD? with some extra fork oil and stiffer springs??

Guys, have you felt some thing like this?
been doing some blasting lately , usually at night ( till around 8 pm you will see polic around after that the streets are relatively empty of policemen) , trying to push the limits on the bike , wow what an adrenaline rush,
i have trued the wheels and checked the fork race bearings and the vibes i was mentioning before is lesser now, have to get a pair of new tires
so coming back to the point ,

after i ride the bike hard for a while it will feel like the bike is not developing enough power , what is happening ? is the bike losing power or it is some thing that i feel ,that there is not enough power

hmm, have you checked to see if its running lean?

motorhead · Post by **motorhead** » Fri Jan 21, 2005 8:19 am

Basically yeah, if you are running lean I think deto might be making you lose out power, cos tht's what's happening on my bike, But it starts only after I sample with the top end for a while, not if I'm cruising.

Ramchand · Post by **Ramchand** » Sat Jan 22, 2005 12:07 am

how will i check/know if i am running lean?
plug chop?or is there any other way i can tell?

Post by **sharan666** » Sat Jan 22, 2005 12:37 pm

i read this somewhere - try running the bike without the filter, if it runs better, its running rich , if it runs worse , its running lean.

Post by **sharan666** » Sat Jan 22, 2005 12:39 pm

also u could read the plugs but you have to do this right or youll end up reading this wrong, ive gone wrong many times. Does anyone know how much and how to run the bike for the plug to give the accurate color ?

Post by **satyajitmenon** » Sat Jan 22, 2005 3:11 pm

if it runs worse , its running lean

actually, if you remove the filter, won't it almost always run lean?

satish · Post by **satish** » Sat Jan 22, 2005 5:49 pm

ride with choke lever half open..if it is better, then it was lean, if flutters a lot then was running rich.

Ramchand · Post by **Ramchand** » Mon Jan 24, 2005 1:36 am

I think i am running rich , cos when i put on the choke the bike almost stalls and stop.

YEPPPPPEEEEEEE, NEW GOODIES ARRIVED TODAY FROM RON, DIGITAL CDI II and Chinoy Filter FILTERS , CAN'T WAIT TO TRY THEM ON. WAIT FOR UPDATES

$\:D/$

YEEHAAA, Ron you made my day. you can't imagine how happy i am to see that package.

satish · Post by **satish** » Mon Feb 07, 2005 9:08 pm

enjoy!!!!

Ramchand · Post by **Ramchand** » Mon Feb 14, 2005 11:22 pm

installed the Chinoy Filter filters today, the engine feels smoother , after the install, why? i was running wire mesh filters before on the stock sir box,
Ron , the filters are a squeeze fit on the bike ,feels like there is not enough space for them , will that be fine as long as there are no leaks?
Did'nt get around to installing the digital cdi yet , in fact i am afraid to do that , being a stupid dumbass about all things electrical and electronic, worried that i might do some thing wrong and will fry the precious cdi.
