I purchased this black Apache RTR 160 RD on 15th April... Was initially great confusion with all the options galore, and also since i am a 6footer

The purchase was fine.... Then what blew my mind was the serviceman while delivering the bike 2 me, put in around 500ml of petrol, self started it up, and went for a spin..... When he returned it was 5.6 seconds on 0-60 timer and a top of 85 !!!!!!!!!!! I was like










Then come 15th May gave it up for 1st servicing, it was 460km on odo.... After the srvice didnt feel much of a thing.... Till that, i was maintaining around 4.5k max on the rpm meter, after doing 500km, felt like taking a little spin... Took it up to 102 for around 2 seconds.... Then i also went for a 60 km continuous trip.... Rpm still always within 5k......
But, wat i "feel".... purely aural, that the engine has become somewhat harsh sounding over the days, in the initial condition, the xhaust tone was sweet to listen everytime... but now, like when i am stand beside the bike, rev it up to 4 k , the engine sound is also very prominent....
Vibrations wise while driving, it is still the old apache, totally smooth after 66-67 on the speedo.... but i am worried if nething bad has happened to the engine and shud i get something checked at the SVC ???
(Also any xBHpians in Kolkata can u please let me know about what to do and where to do in kolkata about accessories and stuff ?? I am a total noob at all these )
