Unfortunately, it seems like we need to treat it like a baby&curb our desires in the interest of maintaining the vehicle for a long period with less hassles!
Last night I went for a ride on KBR Road with a pillion&by the end of the road it had only reached 107kmph, with shifting at around 9K RPM! 
I may consider selling it off if the Ninja comes in soon enough  |
hehe .. it's a bike and will have it's set of probs. But I still feel it's the best one available in the indian market although I may go for the ninja too. And don't worry about riding the bike hard, just rip it as you want to. Except the chain prob I don't think there are any other serious issues. I am sorting out my probs one by one and if you notice, they are not probs with the bike but probs with after sales. Also I am a bit picky about stuff which most ppl overlook so possibly I find more probs ..

And for the other guy : the pads should not touch the rotor. Put some oil in the oil seal behind the disc and then loosen the caliper and adjust it correctly. And NEVER EVER REMOVE THE BLACK RUBBER BUSH. It's a pain putting it back requiring you to remove the calipers and the rear wheel.
@ santoosh: this is yamaha's first FI bike so I don't think they know how to tune it. They just reduce the idle RPM and think they have tuned it for mileage. i guess we should start visiting Authorized Maruti Service Centers for service. they should do a better job as they have largest experience with FI.
