But very recently I was reading some articles and it had some information about a Programmable CDI kit that is available for bikes ranging from 1 to 6 or more cylinders. I have never heard of anything like this available for the Bullet Electra 4s or 5s. Could someone help me source a kit for my bike. I am sure all the 350 Standard owners would love this as it is quite a pain to get the points in the right place for the good old standard.

The last I started her up, it started in a few kicks. But the moment I put it in gear, it jerked violently and stalled. The clutch is jammed. Over time if a bike is unused the clutch plates can stick to each other.

Obviously, only solution is to free up the clutch plates.

I've heard there are two possible ways to do this:

Suspend rear wheel
- keep the rear wheel suspended
- start the bike, engage gear, hold the clutch lever and hold throttle to reach 20-30 kmph for a few minutes.

Manually
- Opening up the clutch plates, oiling it and seperating them

I've tried the first method, but the clutch is still jammed. So I'd like to go ahead and open the clutch casing. Planning to do this myself when I get the time.

- Is there oil in the clutch casing? The oil pump on my RX does not function, so I keep adding oil with petrol. When I open the clutch casing, will oil flow out?
- Any other pointers I'd need to know?

Should I even be doing this? :lol ]]> Motorbikes Gordon http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/motorbikes/69718-yamaha-rx-100-queries.html http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/motorbikes/69657-addicted-speed-torque-suggest-bike-me.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 05:03:24 GMT Hi Guys,

Let me start with some history and then the predicament in my mind!.

Back in April 2002: I was in my final year engineering. I always wanted to get a bike to replace my scooty which was almost in its final stages. Thanks to the floods in chennai, the scooty just refused to start. I had never driven a geared bike (or a scooter) before, hence decided to buy a Splendor which people said would be easy to learn and best suited for starters. I did buy it, learned on it. After a few months ( 8 months) when I got used to driving bikes! I felt the power was not enough. This was the time when the Pulsar DTSi version was launched. I dreamt of the P180DTSi (Gen-1 / DTSi). I forced my dad to sell my 8 month & 3000 kms old Splendor to get this beauty! It was stunning and wonderful little piece of machine that caught every person's immagination. I could easily hit 130/140 kmph on the beautiful ECR. That was when the speed deamon inside me was born and then nurtured over a period of 5 long eventful years. The bike had a huge sentimental attachment as it was with this bike that i meet my lady love. Ever since, pulsar had stated with me even after getting married to my lady love.

The love and passion for power and speed lasted long! But off late (early 2009) the bike started giving lotsa problems. The engine just stopped when I was doing 80 kmph/100 kmph in the highways. This was extremely dangerous and frustrating. I got the machine checked and serviced well at Kivraj motors. Though the service costed close to 5000 bucks, the engine was back to its prime condition.

But the problem did creep-up after 2-3 months. Apart from this, the bike lost its power and was pulling at lower gears. I understand it could be because of the carbon deposits but even after cleaning them it didnt seem to help. I didnt look or feel like my old pulsar anymore.More over, longish rides every day hurt my back because of the riding position. Now is when I found the P180DTSi being a burden. I decided to sell it and get some bike that was light, easy to commute and high on mileage.

This was the time when Discover DTSiSi was launched. I did a test drive and bought it without second thoughts as it more than satisfied my basic needs! The Discover DTSsi was more or less like the mini-pulsar cousin. I was and am satisfied with this bike!

But again!! after 2 months of using the discover, i found the speed daemon inside shift from my brain to my heart! Now that the daemon has peculated to my heart, i needed speed that I got addicted to with the P180DTSi. Hence I decided to keep the Discover for the longish office commutes! and buy either a P180/P220/ZMR/R16 that can satisfy the speed daemon inside me!

Guys the advice I am looking for is "Which Bike should I buy, speed is the criteria. Power & extreme torque that would satifsy me".

I feel so small driving the Discover! It is just the feeling that I have inside me!
