That would be a difficult one to get out from - unless, unless your client is also a vehicle freak, then you can get that person also to the meet!

bglsrini · 12th April 2008, 12:18

I know,but my client is not much into vehicles.

Jammy70 · 12th April 2008, 13:54

Srini, cool. will look forward to it.

JK, read about your wheel spins; I was in TVM around the time you were trying it - missed a live demo! :-)

Hi,
I have successfully done 14560km and hopefully will be completing my 15000km mark this weekend.Then I have to get my 2nd service done.

Iam very happy with my BULL.It has given me full support and not much problems.I am get getting 10.5kmpl consistently.

Recently the following problems were noticed:
1.The clutch pedal had become slightly harder.
2.For the last one week while accelerating and the rpm crosses 1600,I here a hisssssing noise and feel the power is slightly lost and when the speed is constant then the noise lessens or vanishes.

Please suggest me what are the other things to be done apart from the regular service and advise me why the hissing noise is comming.
regards
srinivas.

1800-2200rpm? Kind of?

And it happens mostly in 3rd gear when you accelerate fast?

You sure you are not listening to that addictive Turbo whistle?

m3_07 · 5th May 2008, 16:15

friends a question..

I remember someone mentioning this last time too, as when you drive over 100Kmph, you will hear the sound of wind (i dunno where it gets in & out). I have been experiencing this pretty badly. Any of you have similar experiences please??

i have been facing this issue since quite long in my 3.0L.

Side mirrors are adding to the wind noise and around 140 its hell too much that you feel like slowing down.

but cannot drive the beast without Side mirrors.

as usual TASS couldnt find a solution.

i will also be happy alongwith m3_07 if someone can suggest a solution to this.

Elephant mirrors!

Need a redesign, maybe the one like in Evos

hey,its not the turbo whistle.

The wind noise over 100/120km is different from what i was saying here.But,I have also not got a solution for windnoise at high speeds.

SRVMs do contribute to this but the main noise is wind entering from somewhere and i cant find it.
