The loss of power(similar feeling as you've mentioned)happened in my case due to my ignition coil being faulty.Does it happen at any particular modes of throttle operation,or is it random? |
I am quite surprised as how that can be the case as there have been no instances when the Brakes were touched, I mean no front wheel change/ replacement or leaks which might cause air to get into the channel, by accidental brake lever press. Also this is very seldom, so kinda fishy. I have not changed the brake fluid at all as there have been no requirements in the past.
I do not remember any specific speed or gear when this happened. It was quite random and then picked up speed too. Occured a few times, but I did not see any simillarity in these. Quote:

Please check and replace if required. If this is the case, you will have to replace the fluid. I am not sure which grade comes prefilled on the B500. But you can drain everything and go for DOT4. Also, ask SVC guys to bleed the system properly.
Just removing the filter and tapping it to the ground can clear up the choking to an extend. And it is good to do this every 1000kms or so. And the power loss you are mentioning here is the misfire I guess. Many thing can be the cause for this. From a dirty filter, to water in fuel tank, to a busted carb float, to the infamous issue of fuel cap plugging the top of the fuel tank and not allowing petrol to flow to the carb, along with the points you mentioned.
And replacing the sparkplug is a good part of preventive maintenance. |
"piston of the master cylinder", now this seems to be some serious stuff and I have no ideas where to look for this and how to identify if its kaput or not. Also, if possible, what is the damage to the pocket we are talking about ? Service Center guys, as we all know, will never look for some thing we ask them, unless I myself know what I am asking them to look at.
With regards to bleeding, I intend to do it on my own as these guys will only top up with anything (with little concern if it had Dot 3 or 4 earlier. Their probable statement would be, "this is the best one sir, it will work wonders". I have seen a couple of ways on the U-tube and these seems to be easy enough but am quite shaky to be frank. Please help me with some novice video links if available. Quote:

As for the rubber boot that connects the air box to the carburetor, there is no need to replace it unless it has developed cracks in it. You can use a silicone lubricant spray to recondition the rubber and use it like brand new. To clean the air filter, as man_ of_ steel suggested, you can tap it on a hard surface and also use compressed air to blow out the debris from inside to the outside direction. If you don't have access to compressed air, a foot operated air pump would also do the job to a great extend.

Adrian, hahaha nice points you have asked me to check and I sincerely wish to be able to answer you. If you are referring to the fuel being allowed to reach the engine, then I have not observed any issues in that. How I know this? Well this problem of sudden loss of power has come up post 10K and its not that repeated (thankfully). As far as I can remember, the throttle range will be between 50-60 kmph.
There has been no cracks in the host. You are referring to some silicone lubricant spray. Do you have any specific one in mind? Please share make and price.
Kind regards,
Bikramjit. |
