How to tune a bike DIY

February 7th, 2008 by

Most of us who ride bike daily often feel that bike is not performing like it used to when it was new. You get it serviced and it becomes ok for sometime then again the same sluggishness. This is due to clogged carburetor jets which you can yourself clean. To do it, first clean the bike for any dirt. Wash the whole bike if necessary then carefully detach all the cables like accelerator, choke, and sensors from the carburetor and then remove air filter. Now remove it from the engine too and take out the carburetor apart.

Examine the type of your carburetor and clean it with petrol from outside so that it becomes shining new. Now make sure every tool you use like screwdriver etc and your hand itself are clean and dirt free because now you are going to open it. At the bottom of carburetor, you will find a cover with four screws. Remove these screws and keep them at safe place.

After opening it, you will find a plastic part inside which will look like two small drums attached together. It’s called float. Remove it and then you will see two jets as marked in picture above. Using a clean wrench, take out both of these jets and wash then with petrol. Look though the fine hole of the jet and using a single hair of electric wire, poke it so that you can see the light thru the hole. Fit the jets back to their place and using a paint brush (thick) clean the whole carburetor from inside using petrol. Now fit the float and put the cover back.

You have done the cleaning job now and its time to fir the carburetor back into bike and test. When you have fitted the carburetor, start the bike for first time using choke as the carburetor is dry. Adjust the engine RPM roughly and take the bike out for a short spin but enough to make engine hot. Yeah you will be feeling great now riding the bike. Now come back and adjust the engine RPM using a digital tachometer. If you don’t have it, buy it from any auto market as it’s easily available. Read the bike manual for correct RPM setting. Engine RPM setting is done when engine is hot. Your bike is fully tuned and ready. It will be a good idea to decarbonize the cylinder head and sparkplug if bike is a two stroke one and old.

Note: If you are new to such stuff, please do it under guidance of someone who is knowledgeable. Else I’ll not be responsible if your bike don’t start or become a petrol drinking monster!

This is a cool trick of web browser Opera thru which switching between tabs become very easy. Tabs were made for our convenience already but if you open lots of tabs in a browser that you can’t read the website title then going to the page you want take some time to search. Sometimes you might not want someone to show the page in some tab and jump wish to jump to the desired tab directly without looking at every tab. Trick is simple, right click anywhere on the page (keep the right mouse button pressed) and then scroll your mouse wheel on any direction and you will see a popup menu in which all the open tabs will be listed and by scroll wheel you can select the tab which you wish to open and release the right button. You will see that page which you selected instantly in front of you. This trick only works in Opera.

Save money on AA batteries

December 7th, 2007 by

You may have spent a lot on purchasing Alkaline batteries of AA size (often called pencil size) which are used mostly in homes. Your TV remote, camera, torch, wall clock, table clock, toys everywhere they are used. Now you can save a lot of money on this by purchasing a 6v lantern battery instead of AA batteries. Open this 6v lantern battery and you will find 32 AA batteries inside! Play the above video to see how it’s done. They will have no labels or any protective cover so I advice to put a layer of duck tape on each of them for safety and then you can use it anywhere. Now this is what we call dirt cheap!!
