1). you should accelerate your bike like a cart (dont care about the guys who overtakes you)

2). Dont drive your bike below 3000rpm during break in period.

3). Avoid cruising at constant gear, shift gears at a gap so that gear box will break in and provide smooth operation on later.

4)drive like 3000-4000rpm for few mins, 4000-5000rpm for few mins... periodically.

5)drive is traffic roads, cities... Highway is not recommended in break in period.

these are the procedures that should be followed before first service or 800kms

Okie those are called as dampers or also bar-end dampers.

They wont be much expensive to change. But change it only if its very bad scratch.

haha, Not manipulating.
I had to take 3 test drives of GS 150R before thinking of going for it. It was quite tough for me to choose GS 150R over Xtreme, But finally the 6th COG and refined engine has helped in.

I hope the refinment remains same, even on longer run.

I may get it tomorrow itself, thats is 10th June. I will be going for orange one. And my R15 has gone into other hands this morning itself.

Thanks a lot. Hope i wont regret .

And to the owners...

Has any one tried to change it to short handle...??? I dont like that lomg handle at all. Shorter handle helps in improving flicability of the bike and little sportyness in the bike.

What is the Oil grade used?
