  • Is it Wise to tour with a brand new bike?

    Hi guys,
    I recently bought a HH Hunk DD. Till day, it has done only 300kms. The first free servicing is due post 500kms-750 kms. However, everyday there is an itching inside to take the bike to the highways and plan to get to my home town during a work break starting later this month.

    The total distance I would cover is around 360kms +/- 20kms.
    However, I'm worried if I would harm the (new born's) engine

    And I also vow that I would never cross 4k RPM on the highways! Though it is a punishment, still I would do it for my baby!

    Any inputs about my fears? Any suggestions? Tips?

    P.S. I would be riding from Kolkata to Jamshedpur.

    Query Approved but Locked

    No brainer. Go ahaed with the ride. I will suggest you to open the engine once in a while when you are on the highway and don't stick to the 4k mark, just keep in the mind that don't over rev the new engine
