Gurgling noise I have Enfield Silver Plus (65 cc) of 1985 model and we have it since we bought from the showroom. It is a three gear hand shift bike. It has been running very well all these days. We had also tuned the Carburetor and it started giving the mileage from 45 to 50 kmpl. The engine had been running smooth like butter with speed of 40 kmph. The speedometer has clocked more than 30000 kms. Yesterday, I went for a long drive and almost reached 15 Kms, then I started hearing some kind of weird knocking sound from the engine and there was a thick white smoke from the silencer, which, I never heard this kind of sound before and never saw such a thick smoke. However, I stopped and examined the spark plug, but I found its head to be normal (i.e without any black soot). However, the gasket (i.e the spark plug thread) and the inner lining of the plug was oil filled. I cleaned the plug and re-inserted, then also, the problem continued and the bike didn't start. Also, I observed, smoke coming out from the engine head (i.e from the hole where we insert spark plug). I will be grateful, if you could provide me the cause and solution. Thanks & Regards, Krishna Kolhapuri

The sound and the high fuel consumption are all related. there are many things that might be wrong. it could be the fuel quality the carburettor air filter spark plug or even an elecrtical problem. but since you had the bike serviced but you are still experiencing problems i would try cleaning the spark plug. and when you fit the sparklug back, check wheter the wire going to the sparkplug is in perfect order. then put the bike in neutral, put in on the main stand, start it and check the big wire going to the sparkplug. listen if you can detect any noise in that area. if you hear a tik - tik sound, then there is a elecrtical leak. you should be able to repair that by yourself if not a normal service station would do. however if thats not the problem, then you should bring the bike to another service station,,,

SOURCE: pulsar's smoothness changes after few kms

ok so its a brand new bike.. though the engine comes with proper boring nowdays but still you shold maintain low speeds  initially as  they are bits which take time to settle. did you ever meet an accident?? this may be a handling problem too..,may be the bike is disbalanced. get it checked in the service centre only.. Hope it works..:))

I too have a similar problem. I couldnt find any solution. If you have found it please let me know.

SOURCE: my bike is giving mileage of 40/45 kmpl after two

maintain a 25 psi in front and 33 psi in rear for rider only.
for rider with pillion 25 psi in front and 41 psi in rear.
with the above air pressure check and revert.
