I too own CBZ-X non-atft sept2008 (now with my cousin) done 11.5K kms, in b'lore it fetches worst of 43kmpl and best of 48kmpl, on highway cruise (70kmph+), it can easily fetch 50+, but I have not measured. The bike has rarely touched 3 digits on speedo, just commuting. Engine oil is HH(BPCL), service religiously ONLY at HH ASS.

@mail2gsyadav : Complete 3rd service, I have not measured mileage upto 3rd service, don't panic, just use the bike for about 1,000 more kms. I think it will gradually improve.

Guys don't stretch ur machine too much, best time to get to 5th gear is around 40km/hr on speedo which i religiously follow. Also while reducing speed, do it gradually on your gears. Like to go from 5th to 2nd don't go
"kat kat kat" to 2nd. Instead go to 4th rev a bit with clutch pressed, then gradually goto 3rd synchronizing with clutch and similarly goto 2nd. This will also increase the gear and clutchplate life......

This will in fact shorten gear and clutch life...

can you explain in detail how ??

**Raccoon** · 05-12-2009, 07:18 PM

Because the clutch would engage/disengate more often. Ditto about gears meshing...

**rahulsion** · 05-13-2009, 02:11 PM

Well i have always decreased speed and have gone one gear at a time down instead of halting at a signal in 5th gear and then pushing 4 gears at a time to neutral... I have never got any issues with clutch and gears till date...

Well the point if that your bike still in run in....you can expect good mileage at this point of time. You need to wait for 3500kms to done or second service. I have been using Xtreme (not right now)...Always got 55kmpl...with sane riding...

Shift gears at 3500 RPM....let your bike warm up before you take it out for a ride, have tire pressure check regularly.

Coming to Service Center, I have got quite good servicing for my bike atleast HH Showrooms here in hyderabad (Read a 3 Showrooms).

Just have a better rapport with them

SC do not permit you to watch your bike getting "serviced".Read the the manual see what it says to be done on the 1st service.No SC follows the manual prescription.I am yet to come across a SC that cleans the carb @ 1st service

.I dont want to even talk about the Centrifuge filter

.You can try Castrol bike zone they are good they let u watch your bike when its getting serviced

.

I shift between 4000-4500RPM if i want 50+km/lt.The needle may show 4000RPM but the engine will take sometime to GET to that RPM then only u should shift

.I completed my tirupati trip with just 6 lt of petrol translating to 50+km/lt

.

ya what u said is true......SC guyz don't go according to the manual..they have their own set of rules......
