Why don't you try mounting the filter straight onto the carb?

Actually I'm not even using the HP filter now. The stock filter is on. And now I just went through what you called "safe mode"!
I actually changed my spark plug, got the carb and air filter cleaned. Apart from that I was actually going to open up the bike to check the 'CDI' and coils and all the electricals!!!
But nothing of that is going to happen now. Quote:

So I got a cross screw driver and tightened the clip holding the carb in place at the engine side. Took it for a spin and NOT A SINGLE MISFIRE! Bike ran welll. Here are the speeds attained in each gear. Didn't push too much though.
- 1st - 30-35
- 2nd - 50-55
- 3rd - 70ish
Didn't cross that limit. I was satisfied since I know that the problem was solved. Before thightening the clip I was getting these speeds:
- 1st -25
- 2nd - flat 40
- 3rd - flat 60
- 4th - 70
- 5th - 80 and then a lot of struggling!
Thanks guys to help me solve the problem. Anyways, it was a good thing with the wrong diagnosis and fortunately I didnt spend a bomb. Got most of the basic things done like:
- Oil change
- Brakes tightened
- Spark plug changed
- Carb serviced
- Filter cleaned
- Oil filter replaced
- Oil discharge cylinder cleaned
- Petcock cleaned

Sounds like its coming from the engine itself, cant pinpoint a location.

1. The battery keeps draining very quickly. Got it checked, but the guy says there is nothing wrong with the battery, rectifier or the dynamo.

Problem 2 and 3 are solved. Problem 1 however still persists :(
Okay now for the next issue. The front brakes squeal. Its not causing any scratches on the disc. And when I open and check them, it seems to be fine. I haven't changed them since I got the bike. Have sanded them, so their effect has minimized for the moment.
Is it the pads causing the noise, or something else?
