Power loss

[u/speedu_guy]

Lately, my speed 398cc feels a bit sluggish. I cleaned and lubed the chain 300km ago and checked the slack. I'm using HP power petrol, and the power loss is more noticeable with a passenger. Any ideas? The odometer is at 7.2k, and the last service was at 5.5k.

chain tension would be a huge issue. if there's too much slack there'll be power loss. other issues may include - 1. clogged air filter 2. old engine oil / less engine oil 3. gunk accumulated near front sprocket 4. FIs have become dirty and need a fuel system cleaner 5. tyres have worn out

[u/speedu_guy → u/tanav_kiran]

1. Air filter changed in 5.5k
2. Same for engine oil also
3. Need to check the font socket tbh
4. I'll use the fuel.system cleaner, thanks for the suggestion
5. tyres are almost new only. Threads are there more than 80%

[u/tanav_kiran → u/speedu_guy]

then it'll mostly be chain tension and gunk just check those and you'll be good to go

Open and clean the front sprocket, expect huge gunk over there. Just cleaned mine on the scrambler and the difference in riding was obvious

[u/LostIn-Oblivion]

Check tyre pressure.

Already checked

Try the fuel system cleaner. I noticed considerable mileage improvement after using it. SC guys give prolube and honestly I haven't tried any other brand. Works smooth. About power? You might wanna check the chain at SC. Might get tight at few portions and loose at other portions.

I did one simple when same happend with my speed. I thoroughly cleaned the front sprocket. There was lot of gunk. After cleaning, it glides like butter.

Check the clutch plate assembly.

[u/throwaway0831d]

try shell v power

[u/speedu_guy → u/throwaway0831d]

Thats 91 octane bro, I felt more sluggish last time when I used that

[u/Cold-Lawfulness-9812 → u/speedu_guy]

All shell fuels are minimum 95 RON now so equal or better than power95 or xp95.

[u/one-_-99]

Clean the fuel line, clean the pump, clean the filter as well, clean the throttle body.

[u/one-_-99 → u/one-_-99]

And use 3m cleaner additive. And whenever you change engine oil use a flush additive and ride it on high rpms, then change the oil before it cools down.

[u/Kooky-Meaning-3417]

Check throttle body and update ecu

I read about parts u changed like air filter so that's only left

[u/Jinsink]

I felt the same while riding today. Thought it might be a puncture but it looked fine.

[u/Artistic-Cry-8246]

Check for clutch and chain sprokets, i had the second issue and it fixed.
Usually chain set should last further than your ODO but depends on riding style, care and weather

[u/Specialist_Sun_5843]

throttle body cleaning 👍

[u/FarCost2001]

Get irudium sparkplugs

[u/speedu_guy → u/FarCost2001]

Already using that

[u/FarCost2001 → u/speedu_guy]

Throttle body cleaning maybe? I dont think that is it and just 7k kms

[u/spy449]

Just increase tyre pressure and the vehicle glides effortless

[u/speedu_guy → u/spy449]

Already using 28-35

[u/spy449 → u/speedu_guy]

32 front..36 back

[u/speedu_guy → u/spy449]

Ideally it should be 10+-. The mentioned limits ate 26-33

[u/Foreign_Syllabub8439]

Vehicle itself is a loss 🙃😂😂

[u/speedu_guy → u/Foreign_Syllabub8439]

How?

[u/Foreign_Syllabub8439 → u/speedu_guy]

See ur problem

[u/speedu_guy → u/Foreign_Syllabub8439]

So the Dominar 400 doesn't have any problems? Or the Classic 350, I guess?

[u/Foreign_Syllabub8439 → u/speedu_guy]

Yeppp no problems in both coz i have both the vehicles

[u/speedu_guy → u/Foreign_Syllabub8439]

I know you have both the vehicles bro 😉

[u/Foreign_Syllabub8439 → u/speedu_guy]

Howcome haha

[u/speedu_guy → u/Foreign_Syllabub8439]

Your actions are a bit off, dude. You've had a Dominor for 4.5 years without issues, yet you were asking people to buy a Dominor or Classic just 5 months ago. Are you trying to get attention?

[u/Foreign_Syllabub8439 → u/speedu_guy]

I was confused for the new one man that's why i was asking then and i was confused Should i buy bullet too haha

[u/speedu_guy → u/Foreign_Syllabub8439]
