Angry Disappointed

Its a pleasure too see so much enthusiastic owners sharing their opinions. Keep up this good work.

As in my case i have clocked 1400km and engine is lot more smoother than it used to be. But with a pillion the bike feels dead slow. I noticed some problems, anyone please comment on this

1. Engine revving is not free after 4000 rpm. Very noisy after this mark. 5th and 6th are ok. But lower two is just use less. Im very disappointed

2. Rear brake dont have a bite. Usually at medium speeds i use both brakes proportionately. At low speeds using both of them is uncomfortable for pillion and when i tried to use only rear brake it has much larger stopping distance.

3. Fluctuating mileages: After first service the mileage figures have gone down to 45-50 range with a pillion and driving around 60.

4. Front tire tends loose traction at around 80. Had to lean forward to keep it grounded. I really felt like the front tire has gone airborne. Now im wondering how some guys reported 113 kmph???
