also missed mentioning earlier...on the second day of buying my bike i notice that half of 2 knobs in the rear tire broken off...i complained to the dealer and he prepared a letter for me to go to ceat dealer in lal bagh road to get a immediate replacement....i went to the dealer and he redirected me to the ceat company office which i could not locate and left next day to karwar....
I intent to pursue this matter tommorrow again with dealer...
Please let me know if anybody else have faced this problem

I am also looking forward to see my bike's top speed..... I rode my brother's Yamaha R15 at max of 122 kmph on speedo with my genuine 95 kg weight.....and i could imagine that i will not be able to touch 105-110 kmph on my Impulse....

trnaren

no not at all...it behaves perfectly....

one thing which annoys me on highway is that while crossing big trucks or bus type of big vehicles at high speed, the wind blast created by passing vehicle pushes me so hard that a sudden resistance is felt and it seems like i will be thrown away from road along with my impulse.(i am 82 kg). May be its because of the riding position and shape of the bike.

That will happen with any bike,so the farther you are,the better

sludge will anyway form whether you change oil or not.but when you drain the old oil the sludge formed will also come out along with drained oil and your engine will get fresh new oil once you change it. This is recommended because there is lot more of wear and tear taking place when engine is new. formation of sludge is due to wear of piston ring and other components which takes place during initial running-in period which may last for first few thousand Km.of course you have oil filter to clean this sludge but it may also get choked specially if service centre guy did not cleaned/replaced it during first few servicing... this choking will partially restrict oil flow to engine and some sludge will pass through filter and circulate in the engine.this sludge will reduce engine life in long run. so with frequent oil change you are actually removing the sludge & other particles mixed in oil which have escaped through oil Filter providing clean oil to engine without sludge.

Then why are the engineers designing the bike engines recommending much longer interval between oil changes? Aren’t they – at least a single team – aware of this sludge formation in the engine?
I am asking this because the recommended first oil change of most or all the bikes are at 750-1000 kms. For Impulse and its original Honda NXR 150 Bros, it is between 500 and 750 kms.
Our engineers are, however, highly brilliant and are accepted worldwide.

+1 to that statement. I finished my first service and the service guy didn't clean centrifugal oil filter nor the carburetor. I did insist it but they were reluctant and said it is quite a time consuming job and they will do it in 6k service. I didn't push him to do it, for the fear that he may mess it up.

Rather than that, I decided to change oil every 300 km until 1000km and 500km till 3000km mark.

The schedule in manual is if the oil filter is also cleaned whenever oil is replaced. However, since that is seldom done, it is better to replace the oil as frequently as feasible.

Since, 10w30 is recommended by company for Impulse, can anyone tell me if after 3000 km, is it ok to shift to 10w40 fully synthetic.

Noticed yesterday,
In idle or in neck to neck traffic when the high beam is on, we can still use the passing light, as the headlight is dim at very low rpm.

Yes, the passing light is connected to the battery an the headlight to the alternator
