      Could Someone Please suggest an ideal Run In for me...

      My bike completed 770 kms now..
      I got my first service done at 650kms exact... Till that point 62kph was the maximum i went on ma bike... and only just touched the 4k rpm on each gear..
      Now after the service, i used to go in between 60-70 kph...
      I am plannin to do the run it till 2000 kms...
      So please tell me how to do it from now till 1000kms... and from 1000 to 2000 kms...

      What ive planned is... Stick to around 60kms till 1000kms... and below 80 kph from 1000-2000..!!
      I need some expert advice here pls...

      Ok - I read some running in guide by xbhpians long time back which was very effective for me. That does involve throttling your bike but not for long. For eg, you went till 62 till now, but once in a while, touch 80 just for couple of seconds. This helps open up the engine more. Similarly when you are 1000-2000, dont stick to 80, take it to 100-110 just for couple of seconds to warm it up for >2000km.

        Bro, why bother about what other ppl says.
        If you ask me i would say go for which ever your heart says.
        The more suggestions you ask, the more confused you will be.
        So just go ahead with your favourite colour.

        P.S: I have booked a black from the same place and it was supposed to be delivered latest by Feb1st week but not yet ;(

        yes Prthivi you are right, now i have made my mind & will buy white only thanks for you honest suggestions , when i was in sai ,there i saw 1 red 1 blue & 1 white for delivery you might get yours soon becoz when i was talking to uma she was telling that truck has left from delhi on 2nd feb you might get a surprise call anymoment

            yeap...I too am hoping for that. But its also true that they (HH) cannot meet the demand overnight. So, i think 2 months is a decent time, both for the customers and the company

                    Neo: good one mate. Try changing the tyres to get even better performance. Do away the mrfs and see the magic.

                      Its almost the same as ZMA-R, when you look at it from rear except some tweaks in taillamp. By the way, i was also surprised by the delivery, exact 30 days from the day i booked it. You have booked the most demanding colour and yes it's worth the wait.

                      Not now surely, let me complete 10-15K on the stock tyre and then will think of going for advance tyre. Currently will be concentrating more in City than on highways. In city the stock tyre seems to be very good. The only thing which i would be changing in the first servicing is the head lamp, will go in for 55w option.

                      Thanks for your comments and suggestion.

                      Coolblue - Rs. 450 ( 900 per pair )
                      Nightbreaker - Rs.900
                      Visionplus - Rs. 550 i think...
                      Gautam, can you please give me which is the one that need to fit for karizma ZMR in Vision Plus. H1 / H4 / H7 ??? I prefer Yellow light.
