First review of Yezdi Scrambler (Build quality and in general)

 



Hello people this is Ruturaj Lonkar (currently an undergraduate student in Mechanical Engineering) , its been 4 days since I have got hands on my new bike (Yezdi Scrambler.)

So, while inspecting the bike I came across various issues that are related to the build quality of the bike that concerns me.

RPM sensor for ABS

The clearance between the RPM sensor and the slotted disc is not uniform for a rotation in my bike (which means the sensor disc might not be flat or mounting issues) , so the sensor hits the disc in some part of rotation which makes a sound while riding.You can clearly see the indentation on the sensor disc in the image given below.


Bolting of the rear fender

The rear fender is mounted on swing arm via bolt (M8 allen head bolt) and it fastened on swing on a jam nut which is spot welded to it. As we ride the bike it under vibrations due to rotary parts and as a result of the vibrations these rear fender bolts get lose as the nuts used do not satisfy the application (Nyloc nut must be used , but they cannot be welded as the nyloc will burn due to heat, so double nut or a spring washer can also be used.)

Due to loosening of bolt it creates rattling sound.


(Lost one of my fender bolt due to the loosening).


Weld quality

While inspecting I found a porous weld on mainframe.




I have not yet gone through all the welds but will surely update once done, but this one was the major one that caught my eye.


Conclusion

In terms of performance the vehicle is amazing and has immense torque. It just brings smile on my face whenever I ride it . But the above are some of the things that make me question the quality control of the vehicle and when you pay such a cost (INR 2.5 Lakhs)  you obviously expect it to be full proof and reliable .But still I am very pleased by the vehicle's design and have high expectations with its working.

Second review of yezdi scrambler. (8OOO+ Km experience)

Image
  Endurance? Hello people, this is Ruturaj Lonkar (B.E. Mechanical). So, I have completed 8000+ km on my Yezdi Scrambler and here is my update on the previous review. Riding in city: I will say it straight up that it is not the most fun bike to ride in bumper to bumper traffic especially when it heats up (which is as soon as you start the bike XD). When in traffic the first gear is too low so in turn the engine over revs, and second gear is to high so the engine under revs and the engine would stall. So you have to continuously manage it with your clutch. The clutch is quite stiff, its like a workout. Crusing in city : When you try to cruise in the range of 20-30 kmph the engine rpm isn't constant. It slightly decreases and increases even though you don't give any throttle input. And this is quite noticeable and discomforting. I have tried to raise this issue at the service station but they are ignorant about it. I think they do not comprehend it. Out on highways/empty streets ...

Iris mechanism : Additive manufacturing and more

Image
Hello people, this is Ruturaj Lonkar (B.E. Mechanical). Recently I was working on a cool project for my bike. I have designed and manufactured an IRIS to cover my bike's keyhole. It is just an aesthetic piece of  engineering to make me feel good while using it. Design : I started with all the basic measurements from my bike related to keyhole diameter, height etc. And further I studied the basic working of iris mechanism and iterated some models in CATIA V5 . With help of assembly workbench of CATIA I was also able to manipulate and actual see the functioning of the mechanism and also check for any CAD related collisions. After few iterations i got the mechanism right. Now it was time to make changes for manufacturability.   Manufacturing:  I had to also consider manufacturability of the product so that I don't face any issue. The design was coming along great but manufacturing it through conventional subtractive method of manufacturing would have cost me alot and also wo...
