So far I have not discussed this with SVC . I initially observed this in the 10/15 days following delivery but for about 10 days until puncture monday this week, I had not bothered because it was getting on my nerves . Today on a hunch I decided to get it checked . I will call them tomorrow , will carry out another check on sunday and if it loses pressure again , will let it be their headache . The initial checks were done because the change in handling was noticeable . The roads are bad here , very uneven(not as in potholed but slight waves ) so that doesn't helps either . in reference to the question in the other thread - "How is the front holding up by the way? What is the loss of pressure on the front tyre?" front today read 18 , earlier on monday it was re-inflated back to 25( in the confusion following my first puncture , I had not asked the pressure before refill that day) . Before this it has gone down to 17 or 18 once , 3-5 psi drops other times . From visual inspection , the tires both front and back seem perfect even though rear today was 33% lower than normal . There is a chance both my and tire guy's gauge is faulty , I am banking on this and will not only purchase a new good quality gauge but get 2nd opinion from other places but that is just me clutching at straws , deep down I have a feeling I am in for some worry times . | |

EDIT: 3-5 PSI loss of the front tyre over 4 days though quick is still better compared to 12-15 PSI loss in the rear over the same period. Last edited by abhinav.s : 6th November 2014 at 19:13. | |

1. a shabby shop very close to my house(same guy fixed puncture this monday) , his knowledge is clearly flawed and his instruments might be too . My regular place down to convenience . 2. Indian oil pump , 2 times so far during refills , doesn't tells existing pressure as there is no gauge . All previous checks which showed drop in pressure were done after 10km+riding , the one done today though was after just 1.5k . Ridden it 2 hours earlier for 25km though tire would have cooled down in meantime. There is an automobile road (has everything including more than 1 tire shop) here but involves 5km riding through infuriating traffic , however I will do that this Sunday and get it check by a couple of shops there . I will also purchase a new gauge , my current one is a cheap gauge and I don't trust it much . Just enough to give a rough figure . Good thing is it doesn't renders the bike useless within the span of a day so I can enjoy it otherwise . But in the long run if there is indeed an issue , better get it fixed sooner . Lets see how the reading drops this weekend , fingers crossed. Last edited by basuroy : 6th November 2014 at 19:27. | |

![]() I am not aware of the process involved to change valve hence curious does it involves taking the wheel off the axle and does the SVC does it in house or will refer me to a 3rd party tire shop ? Last edited by basuroy : 6th November 2014 at 21:48. | |

I did a little reading on google on the function of a stepper motor. The problems you are facing can be the result of even a weak battery. Quoting some text. "A weak battery can result in a reduced spark which will hinder starting. It can also cause glitches in the ecu. But most importantly, dropping voltage will cause the injectors to open much more slowly and in some cases, to never open fully. Also, the fuel pump will not be able to build and maintain as high a pressure, which in some cases can result in reduced fuel rail pressure." | |

NB: I am of the old school and know nothing of the new machines. Actually my jaw dropped when I read that the stepper motor is controlling the idle. ![]() ![]() regards adrian Last edited by adrian : 7th November 2014 at 09:21. | |

| ![]() DR. Congrats. You will enjoy each and every minute of this ownership. And i am starting to think the riding style is a reason for someone of us who never got the stalling problem. We just ride this plastic beast hard ![]() |

| ![]() Congrats Doc! Satisfying to see you back on something you have tested pre-launch. Speaks volumes of your faith in the product, and gives me that much more comfort, in my choice. Hopefully this thread will not be "stalled" now! Here is a thought: Younger days, I really liked sugarcane juice and would watch incredulously when the cane would be inserted into the crusher for the fourth or fifth time. The mangled mass would release some foam, and the vendor would have a look of satisfaction on his face, that I felt bordered on evil. Somehow I am getting the same feeling for the last few pages here ![]() And like VW2010 said: A steed is not everyone's horse ![]() Regards. Last edited by Insearch : 7th November 2014 at 10:55.
