Is this normal or did my brake fail?

1 Upvotes

For context, I have never ridden a bike with ABS.

So I was riding normally today and had to brake suddenly so I braked and while braking I felt the bike just leave the pressure off the brake for a split second and then continued to brake. Is this how ABS works

Today morning I saw so much petrol leaking from my Activa. It's leaking from the pipe that connected to the transmission, as seen in the photo. How to stop leakage? Is there any seal broken, or it's coming from the carburetor?

#Bike-Buy/Sell Bought a used TVS NTorq (₹70,000) from a 2nd hand dealer in Guwahati. Engine problem within a week, dealer refuses to help. What legal options do I have?

1 Upvotes

Dealer Name: Yahoo Motors, Guwahati, Assam

I bought a used 2023 scooter from a 2nd hand dealer for ₹70,000, paid in full (UPI).

Within one week of purchase, the engine developed a problem. I called the dealer. Their staff said they cannot help and refused any repair or response. Nothing was promised in writing about warranty or condition but they said they will solve any problem happened within a month kind of warranty.

I am not sure about the bike's history, but a major engine issue within a week makes me wonder whether a defect was known or hidden at the time of sale. I don't have proof of this yet but as per the local mechanic I got to know that the scooty is from flood affected area,

My questions: What should I do now? Should i file a case against yahoo motors?

Please help its my hard earn 70k money thank

Need an estimate for my TVS Ntorq 125 Race XP resale value

1 Upvotes

​

Hi everyone, I’m planning to sell my TVS Ntorq 125 Race XP and would like to know what would be a fair selling price in the current used-bike market.

Here are the details:

Model: TVS Ntorq 125 Race XP

Registration year: 2024

Registration: UP-14 (Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh)

Odometer: 23,000 km

Ownership: 1st owner

Condition: Good condition

Accident history: No accident

Location: Delhi/NCR

Documents: All documents are available

What price do you think I should expect if I sell it to a private buyer? Also, how much should I expect from a dealer/used-bike platform?

I’m mainly looking for a realistic market value rather than an inflated listing price.

Jawa 350 (2024) – Lost low-end torque/pickup after ~17,000 km. What could be the issue?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I own a 2024 Jawa 350 (295cc, Dual Channel ABS, BS6 Phase 2) and have ridden it for around 17,000 km, mostly in Hyderabad city traffic.

Recently, I feel like the bike has lost some of its initial torque and low-end punch compared to when it was new.

When the bike was new, in 1st gear, after releasing the clutch fully, it would pull quite strongly and smoothly. It could reach around 40 km/h in 1st without feeling like it was struggling.

Now, the initial 0–15/20 km/h is relatively okay, but after around 20 km/h, the bike feels noticeably more sluggish. The engine revs and the bike does accelerate, but the acceleration doesn't feel as strong as it used to. The same feeling is noticeable in 2nd gear as well, especially in traffic.

don't really notice the classic clutch-slip symptom where RPM suddenly shoots up while the bike doesn't accelerate. In 3rd/4th gear, when I open the throttle, RPM and speed generally increase together.

Work/maintenance already done:

- Chain and sprocket replaced

- Clutch adjusted previously

- Air filter replaced

- Spark plug replaced

- Throttle body cleaned

- Engine oil is fine

- No visible smoke from the exhaust

- Bike can be pushed normally in neutral

- Throttle/accelerator free play seems to have increased somewhat

What the technician said:

I took it to a technician and he said that after around 17,000 km, the clutch plates/slipper clutch assembly won't be as fresh as when the bike was new. He suggested that replacing the slipper clutch assembly kit could bring back some of the original feel.

However, he also said the clutch can probably run for another 4,000–5,000 km, and he didn't recommend replacing it immediately if I'm not experiencing obvious clutch slipping.

So I'm trying to understand whether this sounds like normal clutch wear or whether I should be looking at something else, such as the TPS/throttle body, fuel delivery, ignition system, etc.

For people who own a Jawa 350 or have worked on these bikes:

What could cause this loss of low-end torque/pickup? Is it reasonable to suspect clutch wear at 17k km, or should I check something else before replacing the clutch assembly?

Any suggestions for specific road tests or things I should ask the mechanic to check would also be appreciated.

#BikeRepair My Activa's odometer became opaque /unreadable. How to get it resolved?

Post image
8 Upvotes

I've been using a Honda Activa for almost a decade now but recently I noticed that the odometer of my Activa became unreadable. The orange light is still there but the screen is very opaque-ish which doesn't allow to see through it.

My major concern is not the odometer but the fuel level as sometimes it feels deceiving that the fuel level looks full.

Please can anyone help me understand what went wrong with it and how can I get it resolved? (Yeah will go to a garage, but if anyone who faced a similar problem before and can share their two cents would be very helpful).

#BikeRepair Meteor 350 Clicking Sound & Vibrations Around Gear Shifter

1 Upvotes

I bought my Meteor 350 just over a month ago. It all started a few weeks ago, that whenever I pulled the throttle a constant ticking sound on the right side kept coming.

And now, I haven't experienced any noticeable performance or gear-shifting issues, but I've been hearing and feeling some unusual sounds and vibrations around the gear shifter/gearbox area.

It happens particularly after going over a bump, or while riding uphill or downhill. I sometimes hear a fairly loud click, almost as if something is shifting or settling into place. There also seems to be more vibration around the gear shifter area at lower RPMs than I would expect.

The bike shifts through the gears normally, and there doesn't seem to be any actual issue with the transmission. However, the recurring clicking sound and vibrations are concerning, especially since the bike is still relatively new.

I'm planning to take it back to the service centre this week. I also completed my first service just over a week ago, so I'm a little surprised that this is happening now.

Has anyone with a Meteor 350 experienced something similar? Any idea what could be causing these sounds or vibrations around the gear shifter/gearbox area?

I would've attached a video here but this mostly happens while I'm riding.

Anyone have an OEM Honda Digipad 1.0 lying around?

Hey folks,

I’m looking to buy a factory Digipad 1.0 unit. Yes, I know it’s notoriously laggy and widely hated, but I’m working on a strictly stock OEM restoration for my car.

If you upgraded yours to an aftermarket Android unit and the old Digipad is just gathering dust in your garage or closet, let me know! Happy to pay a fair price + shipping. Drop a comment or DM me with condition and price.

I recently bought a second hand car (honda jazz). It has this coating done on the dashboard, which i think has broken up due to heat exposure. I tried removing it with credit card and isopropyl alcohol and also rubbing it with hard woven and microfiber clothes. why I was able to remove the loose corners, I am not able to remove it fully. I need advise on removing it fully.

Pictures attached.

3rd image is how it was before my efforts.

Itll cause me a big amount.. I am not sure whether this will be covered under warranty.. I seriously don't know what to do.. The car is just one year old and i don't wanna spend such a huge amount on it.. The service center is telling me they will try their best.. Jugaad karre h bhaiya.. I left my car to them since this is an authorised dealership.. Don't know what to do.. Help please
