thx aryan.......

bro can you clear the doubt as per your brother's p150ug3 how many kms has it done so far exactly......???

@Shivanshu: He has mentioned that the bike has done 140+ kms as of now.

The first service is supposed to be done at 500-750 Kms or one month from the date of purchase whichever is earlier, so if he wants he can surely get the service done. But i dont see any problem in him getting the bike service after the ride, this will be a better option.

Bandhav--> if he is saying his brother has done 140+ on his bike only till now then I dont think that he should take it to hills at all isnt it?

[BANDHAV]

Oh i missed the hill part, i feel that he should try avoiding such trip prior to proper running in.

@Ceaser: Dude please drop the sms lingo.

There will be no probs... and a 160km is not that much distance.
the day i bought my FZ, i have done 280+km(to my home)... yesterday we came back after a 1100+km (3 days trip) and my bike is only two and half month old, done 5500+km...

I feel no probs for the bike... i have done the break-in of the engine with pretty good speed... i think it gives more pickup than my friends FZ(don't know others will agree)

break-in the engine by giving smooth and steady acceleration...

true and proper running would be when bike odo shows 1000+. Bandhav correct me if I am wrong..

ah...i forgot to mention......its name is anantagiri hills..and it is not a hilly area actually...it has got a pretty straight road..all the way..and the curves are really negligible.....almost like a high way.

but bro...will the service guyz do only the two things..ie..cahnging oil .and washing the bike??..i think.they will do.nothing more than that as the bike is 1 and half months old. ..am i right??

bro can you clear the doubt as per your brother's p150ug3 how many kms has it done so far exactly......???

a thank you all...

^^The breaking-in is the key word here brother, even we are not saying that bike will fall apart after this small ride, but to ensure a healthy and strong engine in long run, he should better avoid this.

ya ..but its not actually a hilly area i mentioned that in the earlier post..i think you haven't gone through that....

and he said he would be doing around 50-60 k/hr

Ohkay, if this is the case then i have three words for you brother "Hit the road".

Hi Caesar

You should get the motorcycle serviced now - or, if you dont want to do it now, at least get the engine oil changed. Ideally, it is recommended that the engine oil of a new motorcycle be changed after "mototuning" it, which involves a series of accelerations and decelerations done for all the gears. This (mototuning) is normally done as soons as possible after getting a new vehicle, and the oil is changed thereafter.

I assume that you have not mototuned your vehicle - no issues - just get the oil changed and you'll be taking good care of the motorcycle. As far as the running-in goes, please read the manual provided with your motorcycle - that will go a long way in ensuring a happy relationship with your vehicle. AFAIK, there shouldn't be any problem in ascending a gradient, but yes, prolonged stress on a new engine is not advisable.

Happy riding!
