Half in just 2 ltrs, the meter requires about 20 mins to show d exact quantity,
i filled 5 ltrs after rererve, it was showing 5 bars ,then it settelled in 4 bars,
5+1.4= 6,
so it should b 3 bars there,
but who cares, i know how much fuel i have

ONE MAJOR PROB
after setting clutch freeplay to manual setting the bike moves only at end of clutch travel
this makes it difficult in traffic conditions
what r you people doing about this.

Sorry bro, cant resist the temptation! Crossed 100kmph mark today for the 1st time... on this bike and in my life on 2 wheels! the bike zoomed till 90, and I hesitated for a while, a sharp twist , ahoy! speedo jumped to 101 kmph! I am all too thrilled! I get the feeling of riding a powerful bike for the 1st time in my life! after the 1st service, the engine feels a lot more easy going and responsive.
