Crossed 500 km today... So, tried to go a little throttle happy. Here are my observations.
1. Bike crossed 50kmph @ 4000rpm - very smooth. Infact the sweet spot seems to be 50 to 60 kmph. absolutely no vibes/engine strain.
2.Crossed 60kmph at ~5000rpm. Engine sound turned a little rough, can feel the engine churning on the foot pegs. May be its harsh as its NOT run-in in this speed till now. No idea.
3.Crossed 70kmph at 5800rpm. Engine sound smoothened out(!?)... but there is obvious engine grinding felt in foot pegs.
4.At 78kmph at 6500rpm when I called it a day - enough for my baby for today! Its asking for more though, I can feel the pull... but I am not sure how much more it can do. Will try crossing that 80kmph after my 1st service.
Is it okay if I frequently visit 60 to 70 kmph now that I crossed 500km?
