For your run in, as sarvajit anna pointed out, keep it under 5000 rpm for the first 500 kms, occasionally you can take it to higher revs though. From 500-1000 kms on the odo, keep it under 7000 rpm. In 6th gear you'll be doing around 80 if I'm not wrong. Then first free service (<1000kms!).

yeah TNT is right.. I am following the same running-in instruction... I am trying to keep her under 4000 rpm for initial few hundred's Km. I just love the kind of attention that it gets from people around.. definitely a head turner.. but most importantly... you will forget everything when you ride it.. Its a dream to ride.. can't resist to take her to three figure mark soon after it crosses 1000 Kms.
I remember the day I took it from showroom, there was this man of around 35's. He was saying me.. "congrats brother, you choose a good bike.. and very good color.. suits you in whole... I also recommended my nephew to go for R15 but he is insisting on ****** (dont wanna take names) I will urge him now to go for this bike".
I felt top of the world. By the way I choose Sunset Red. My first choice was always Midnight black but now I am knowing why people in US charge heavily on Red vehicle...

Get used to hearing some sounds on this bike:
1. The sound mentioned by you above-it is the fuel pump.
2. A whining sort of sound when parked in sun/some other random times-that is also from the fuel pump.
No need to worry about these 2.
3. Scratching sound from underneath-that is the chain which needs some attention in the form of lubing.
4. A faint humming sound-it is the radiator fan when engine is overheated. If occuring too often, check coolant level.
5. Ticking noise after engine is shut off-catalytic coverter trying to cool silencer. Again no need to worry about it.

FYI, Any mechanic 'll be able to do it... Just tell him to loosen the second nut also...

Joe

Thanx Joe,..Job done,..just another question, does riding with the chain too tight or slack cause permanent damage to the chain or sprocket i rode my bike at lst 50 kms with the chain too tight

while riding, i hear a "squeek squeek" sound, i guess from the front tyre.
what maybe the cause.
Does it need any lubrication. My bike is just 530 km old.
thanks
