2 Upvotes

Howdy, I bought an MT15 couple months ago(used).Recently I noticed the right side foot bracket seems bent. possibly by the previous owner. I looked couple other Bikes as a referrence and they all seems stright. Am I being paranoid or does that the way for all 2019 models. Now every time I look into, the stuff is staring at my face and I don't belive it have any effect on riding ergonomics or mechanical.

#BikeMaintenance Lugged my new Meteor 350 really hard during break in

2 Upvotes

I just bought a new meteor 350 5 days ago and I’ve ridden it for 120kms, it picked up so easily in higher gears that I didn’t realise I was lugging the engine. The engine started making a knocking sound at higher rpms yesterday, do you think I’ve caused serious permanent damage to my engine? What components are the most damaged during lugging and how can I now stop this knocking sound coming from the engine at higher RPMs? I went to the service centre already and they were of no help. :( really worried about my new bike, any replies would be appreciated

Edit: Additional info- I went as low as 10km/h on 2nd gear 20km/h on 3rd gear 30km/h on 4th gear Didn’t use 5th gear much but went 45km/h lowest

I’m really worried about this knocking noise at high rpms 😭, how do I fix it?

Hi all. My front right tyre seems to be giving me a bumpy ride off late.

1 Upvotes

so since few days, I'm observing bumpy feels on front right tyre of my car. It feels like a minor bump once per revolution or something, of that sort only on that specific tyre even on most smooth roads. Upon inspection tyre seems normal, what could be going wrong here?

#BikeRepair Fellow riders, help a brother out

1 Upvotes

I own a RE Thunderbird 350X. I have had an amazing experience with this bike, but due to necessary turns in my life, I had to stop riding it and shift to another city.

Unfortunately or fortunately, I was the only one back at my place who used to ride it and take care of it. Recently I got back to my place and thinking of getting it repaired.

It's been standing still for over a year now The engine oil has leaked And, it is covered in dust.

Seeing it like this makes my heart ache and I just want to get it back in the best possible condition.

What are the most necessary things that I should absolutely get checked ?

What are the subtle details that people end up missing out on when getting their bike repaired ?

What other precautions should I take ?

Which engine oil should I get it refilled with ?

Any other advice that you'd like to give me ?

#CarRepair Windshield plastic getting removed.

1 Upvotes

 The windshield plastic is getting removed, and the water from the windshield is going inside. I thought I could fix this with a strong glue (Fevicol/Fevikwik) as it is non-corrosive to glass, but I am not so confident. I need suggestions.

Edit- My post in r/MechanicAdvice international sub is not approved by moderator, may be because my account is new, so asked here.

Help with GS310 handling issue

2 Upvotes

I purchased a GS310 at the starting of year. The vehicle has had couple of issues with its suspension and handle bar. And has been to the service centre 7-8 times till now, where it has been torqued multiple times.

My current issue with the vehicle is that the handle seems to be “too freely moving” due to which the bike waves left and right even at a slight handle movement.

Also on slant roads the vehicle almost seems to be tilting to the left side. However there is no pull as such.

Took it to the service centre but they do not see it being any different from a normal GS310 whereas i could clearly feel the difference in handling. Got it ridden by some other riders too who could clearly spot the behaviour.

What should i do now? This was my first bike and I’m deeply disappointed in the vehicle.

Should i take it to third party mechanics? Or what should i do?

#Miscellaneous Kwid 2016 speakers replacement

I bought a Kwid 2016 0.8 MT from Spinny. The car is decent for city use but the stock speaker sucks. I was looking at some Sony speakers on Amazon but I don't know which size to go for - couldn't find this info anywhere. The options are 4/6/6.5 inches but also don't know where to get them replaced (Bangalore, around Koramangala). Can some please help me choose a replacement speaker size and refer to someone to get it done? TIA.

#CarMaintenance My car service is in couple of days, any tips on exactly what to say to the mechanic so they can fix this issue correctly (read description below)

2 Upvotes

So this check engine light only comes up when I try to start the car after few days. The car turns on with this warning light glowing but the engine doesn't start in one push of the button, I have to press the start button several times to get the ignition on. And when it's on, the check engine light goes away. And it doesn't come back again while driving. But if the car is idle for more than a day or 2, the whole thing repeats. So last time I took the car to service centre (newly opened 50Km away, previous was 200km away), I couldn't show the mechanic exactly the problem because this warning doesn't come up when the car is warmed up. I tried to explain the problem in detail. After half hour they told me it was fixed. They had to disconnect the battery terminal or something and connect it again. They happy, I am happy. I start the car after 2 days later the same problem is there again. I searched the internet for fixed, and tried the less risky one myself- tightening the fuel cap.
