first off how is the fierblade doing now..well thankfull it is doing well crossed the 2000km mark on it running smoothly.

Made one change to the suspension setting , turned all the setting of compression and rebound by one turn towards the softer side to make it condusive to indian conditions and guess what it works the ride had become very smoothe and all those little bumps on a smooth road have disappeared . although i feel it might be a bit on the too soft side ad one get the feeling of floating in air on certain road conditions.

As for the update on the feelign of riding a pulsar well these superbikes actually spoil you , one gets use to a better escape speed making one take the choice to speed out of a tight situation insted of break, also as the braking and stablity is very high in this bike a pulsar feel very unsafe and unstable and ofcourse the pulsar just doesnt stop when you apply the brak (compared to the fireblade). Even in sever traffic jams i find the fierblad to perfom much better.
On heating - the heating at the right foot does happen but with ankel high boots(cats in my case) one doesnot find it uncomfortable at , after say 30 min in taffic jams the bike tem show as high as 108 C but to the rider it is fine. considering that we belong to a high temprature climeate we are use to heat as say teh europeans - hence the discripancy in the reviews provided by them we guys bike at 40C plus tempratues so heat is not an issue. which makes me wonder about teh R1 09 model heating issues at the thigh - i wonder if it is true.

hi bunny, congrats on the fast 2000km mark. i agree on a slighltly softer suspension settings for Indian roads.
even my 954 gets pretty hot, and i have also heard 09 r1 does get very hot due to it's underseat exhaust, i wonder how it will feel in Indian conditions.

yes i bought my helmet online website like newenough and extremsupply have a chart for various brands sizing . You measure by wraping an inchi tape around your forehead - my size came to 55.5cm which corresponded to HJC small size for 55-56cm and it fits perfectly dont have any problems of course they are tight at the cheeks but you get use to it in a weeks time.
rember each brand has its own size defination so do check those out.

Default chain cleaning

so i finally got my hand on OKS producst in Noida thanks to Archit.
the OKS 2601 cleaner and degreaser is a very expensive option to clean a chain and not very effective on a full grime but really excellent for brakes (tried it on my P220 brake pads the brakeing feels like new, i have become a big fan of this magic product)

opened the chain cover since i dont have a paddock stand
so i use lots of kerosene to clean the chain and remove the muck using a soft paint brush(house painting type)
rolled the bike a bit to clean the other side
dried it off with cloth
gave one spray of OKS cleaner
finally one coat of OKS 451 o-ring chain lube intresting foaming sticky substance,
rolled the bike back and forth a few time to even out the coat as it take about 5-10 min to dry
and i was ready to go.
