DESTINY tuned up!!!
Ok, guys, I was having some trouble adjusting myself with my DESTINY.
Two of the most irritating problem that i was facing was
a) There was a Float RPM at the 2k range. i.e there was a snatchy feeling at that 2k level. It would make me feel that theere is No Fuel in the tank, and the Engine will shut off. while the next moment, the bike will pick-up like MAD, and it was quite uncomfortable to handle it in a bumper to bumper traffic.
b) very bad LOW-End torque, due to which I had to shift to 1st gear every time the speed went below 9kmph. Also had to rev quite high (>2k range) to roll off the bike. Otherwise, engine would die.
I asked some of my friends, about this problem, where quite a few agreed with the exact same problem, while some others said that they have never felt such thing on their machine.
So this made me sure that there is something about the AFR, which is giving such problem in the bike. Thus Day before Yesterday, took the whole afternoon, to properly tune up the bike. (although this was my 1st time that i was tuning a bike, but the above problems got me annoyed enough, as I couldn't feel that connection with my bike even after almost 2 weeks of ownership)
Then took a Test ride after the tune-up and VOILA!!!!!!!
Both the problems were gone. The bike felt butter smooth with linear power delivery all through the RPM range, and also found a better low end torque as well. The bike is rolling off from ZERO, in the 1st gear, just by the release of the clutch (without even touching the throttle). The ride really brought a big grin on my face
. But the test was done just after the tuning, and thus the engine was hot.
Has been raining from morning next day, so couldn't check how the bike performs when cold.
So took out the bike for a long ride today, and the ride felt just AWESOME from the word go.The ride really made my day. Every thing was almost perfect. However, felt that the pick-up was decreased a bit at the higher end (though did'nt cross 5k limit), but still more than enough. The bike is now also perfect for city rides. (good enough low end torque)
Couldn't feel much of a difference on the exhaust note, but there was a nice and sweet whistling kind of sound when ever used Engine braking. It was more like the whistling sound which a turbo engine in a car produces or say an aeroplane produces
. (don't blame me, my hangover is still there from the ride)
Also the idle RPM stays at 1.2 - 1.3 k even when the engine is hot, and doesn't increase.
Now, I can vouch that my affair with DESTINY is surely gonna Steam up
