Default long ride......

Dear friends,
Done my 3rd service on 8th of july 2010 @ 5048 kms. And as 10 th is a second saturday (ie. A holiday for me) just planned for a long ride...... Just to ride, and to visit some new places....... So took a leave on 9th and i started from cochin at 4 in the morning.....with all riding gears......
Destination- Bangalore and then mysore........... Took the highways.....coimbatore-salem-hosur-bangalore.....reached blore at 12 noon...... The highways.....got an average speed of 100 kmph for 2.5 hours and at the timw i got an average mileage of 35 kmpl....... After reaching blore visited some friends at madiwala and blore univ campus and at 6.30 in the evening headed to mysore...... Just toook a round in the city on 10th.... Returned at 6 in the morning of 11th....took the other route.....through bandipur-nilambur-thrissur- angamaly-kottayam.


Guys, a total of 1267 kms.
1st day- 688 kms
2nd day- 70 kms
3rd day- 509 kms

Fuel charge- Rs. 1500/-
Fuel quantity- 28.30 litre
Average mileage-44.70 kmpl
Top speed achieved- 129 kmph
my odo reached 6367 km...(can go for 4th service by next week)

And for sure my black zmr is also a head turner...... Even a negro couple in blore with r15 chased me to have a look at the bike.....at petrol bunks, they re not convinced when i answered that it s karizma.....
ZMR rocks........

God help those poor souls who lost their fairings.

Can't guess how many days those bikes will be kept for the spares.

hey guys one serious problem... after 60 i seriously feel that the bike whines to speed up... i mean i don't feel that smooth initial acceleration i get before i reach 60... its really annoying to me... what could be the problem ? i took it to service center where i complained to them and after it was with them for a day they said it was fixed... But it was not fixed...

Another thing... when i shift gears and open the throttle... i get a 'tak' sound from the accelerator.. i thought i wasn't shifting well so i tried to shift as smoothly as possible.. i even asked an experienced friend of mine to test ride the bike... even he said heard the 'tak' sound when he opened the throttle...

hope u could shed some light on this
