The Choke ..

After months of struggling with my bike's problems of very bad vibrations when stationary and on, I discovered the root cause of the whole problem - it was in the choke ! My God and I'd completely ignored that aspect.

I told the service guy also so many times that there was a problem with the tuning. And an alarming drop in the mileage ! Even I was trying to adjust the tuning to reduce the vibration .. SHIT ! How very dumb of me ! It was right there in my line of sight and I didn't see it.

Atleast, better late than never .. that's my relief. But I don't know how much the engine would've got damaged as a result of this stupidity.

That's the thing with so many problems .. the solution is simply to look at the problem. But we don't even where the problem is .. and end useless hours trying the wrong solution. I'm supposed to be an observant guy - but what happened here?
