Asked by binny chauha in Cars & Bikes at 2:50 PM on March 31, 2009

Vinay Kiran's Answer

If you are planning to buy a Yamaha R15, there is no other choice for it. If you can pay the price, go and buy it and do not worry about your height. Infact tall persons have more riding grip in R15.

Which should be the best buy between used Honda City and used Hyundai Assent worth Rs. 2 Lakhs considering mileage and maintenance costs. Thanks - Girish?

Asked by Girish Kocha in Cars & Bikes at 11:04 PM on May 06, 2009

Vinay Kiran's Answer

You will not get a good Honda City at Rs 2 lakhs. You need to shell out another 1 to 1.5 lakhs to get a good City. Instead Hyundai Accent has the same dimentions and comforts though mileage is not as par with the Honda City. There are other cars in the market such as Ford Ikon, Opel Astra, Opel Corsa, Esteem and many other in your price range. I would not advice you to buy these cars as the maintainance costs of these cars are high.
I would personally advice you to go for an alto at Rs 2 Lakhs price. You will get a descent Alto at that price with no hassles. So think about, you need hassle free car or a swanky looking fuel sipper.

Is monoshock suspension is better than regular indian bike's double suspension? how?

Asked by Plymouth in Cars & Bikes at 11:00 PM on April 04, 2009

Vinay Kiran's Answer

1> Mono-shocks eliminate torque to the swingarm and provide more consistent handling and braking.
2>They are also easier to adjust, since there's only one shock to adjust, and there is no worry about matching two shocks.
3>Also, the linkages used to connect the shock to the swing-arm are frequently deisgned to give a rising rate of damping for the rear
4> The monoshock improves both the ride and handling if tuned well.
5> The simple reason for it being better can be understood by the following explanation- "Whenever you encounter a bump on a M/cycle with two shocks, both the shocks compress, but there is never a situation when both of them compress for the equal length. This leads to downgraded dynamics when it comes to stability. But with a single shock absorber, this problem is solved.
6> In a recent test conducted by Bike Magazine, Pulsar, Apache and Unicorn were pitted against each other on a test track. Although the unicorn was not the fastest, they said it is the most confidence inspiring and the most balanced of the lot.

WHAT IS PLASMAPHERESIS?

Asked by DR.ANIL GUPT in Personal Health at 3:52 PM on November 09, 2008

Vinay Kiran's Answer

Plasmapheresis is a blood purification procedure used to treat several autoimmune diseases. It is also known as therapeutic plasma exchange.

In an autoimmune disease, the immune system attacks the body's own tissues. In many autoimmune diseases, the chief weapons of attack are antibodies, proteins that circulate in the bloodstream until they meet and bind with the target tissue. Once bound, they impair the functions of the target, and signal other immune components to respond as well.

Plasmapheresis is used to remove antibodies from the bloodstream, thereby preventing them from attacking their targets. It does not directly affect the immune system's ability to make more antibodies, and therefore may only offer temporary benefit. This procedure is most useful in acute, self-limited disorders such as Guillain-Barré syndrome, or when chronic disorders, such as myasthenia gravis, become more severe in symptoms. In these instances, a rapid improvement could save the patient's life. Neurologic diseases comprise 90% of the diseases that could profit from plasmapheresis.

What is lactose intolerance ?

Asked by Silvia in Personal Health at 6:56 PM on January 03, 2009

Vinay Kiran's Answer

Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest significant amounts of lactose, the major sugar found in milk. Lactose intolerance is caused by a shortage of the enzyme lactase, which is produced by the cells that line the small intestine. Lactase breaks down milk sugar into two simpler forms of sugar called glucose and galactose, which are then absorbed into the bloodstream. Not all people deficient in lactase have the symptoms commonly associated with lactose intolerance, but those who do are said to have lactose intolerance.

People sometimes confuse lactose intolerance with cow’s milk intolerance because the symptoms are often the same. However, lactose intolerance and cow’s milk intolerance are not related. Being intolerant to cow’s milk is an allergic reaction triggered by the immune system. Lactose intolerance is a problem caused by the digestive system.

Thunderbird or R15 ??? which one will u have or think is the best then one another n y is tht so...which one shld i go for??? plz tell i am confused....?

Asked by Hardstone in Cars & Bikes at 11:03 PM on March 17, 2009

Vinay Kiran's Answer

Thundrbird is a good bike for long cruizes. But it has electrical problems and has very less service centres. R15 has the latest sporty looks and if you are a guy under 25 years I think you should just got for R15. The perfomance of R15 is unmatchable even with Pulsar 220 or Karizma.

Asked by mk v in Cars & Bikes at 5:25 PM on December 20, 2008

Vinay Kiran's Answer

Honda Shine is a good bike. It has good looks and gives a good mileage of about 60 kmpl in ideal riding conditions. The Honda engine is smooth and is more reliable compared to the other bikes. Though it lacks the sporty look, the bike is best suited for the middle class, middle aged men.
