yea especially around 7000 rpm .. vibes are slightly reduced by synthetic oil .. i observed that with petronas sprinta

Resonance is b/w 65-75 kmph (normally) but even if one two bolt are not tightened to correct torque levels the resonance 'location' can vary over the rpm range. Complain while getting Ist service, specifically ask him to double check bolt tightening (big components like swing-arm, chassis, wheels, crash guard etc etc).

got my 1st service done!!vibes are reduced to some extent but the gears are still hard!! I got my 1st average of exactly 50 kmpl before service! Can i use synthetic oil??

i recommend u wait for the total run in period to be over .. or wait till 2k atleast before u shift.

Bike is doing great....mileage of 55 kmpl (approx)...
I am working on a LED based light system for the bike. It is like a kit. Will go to source supplies next month (no moolah...diwali main diwala nikal gaya)
If it goes well I plan to make a proper kit out of it for all bikes.Fingers crossed.

Thrashed my Achiever above 100 mark (speedo) half a dozen times this week after 1700 kms of careful run-in, bike is slightly smoother than Xtreme upto 100 kmph mark (probably due to round headlight on my Achiever instead of front fairing on Xtreme). Gearbox is 'ULTRA' smooth, engine runs like electric motor, morning cold starting is not impressive though.

Avg. Mileage in the last three weeks averages to 54kmpl. max. being 57kmpl and min. 48kmpl. Loving my bike !!

Make sure you use good quality kit, else you'll end up with some electrical issues.....

I meant I will make the kit myself...by that I meant something which will not tamper with the bike electricals. And can be put on or removed when needed.

Heard that HH has launched new version of Hunk .. Any idea guys ?

yes. they did.

They upgraded the side panels with a new sticker.

That they did...also the gear ratio's are changed a bit. The service interval is improved, new colors introduced (mine is a ebony gray metallic). Also it seems that the engine has more higher end power...
*all this was what the person at HH told me...dont know the truth...will be able to comment on this later.

22,000kms report of my cbz extreme :

All happened when i started looking for an upgrade from my hh passion which had served me 75k kms, just saw the ad and booked the bike call me crazy (i am) since it was booked in my home town i had no choice coz here for the fancy reg numbers there were crazy quotes going on, so booked the black intailly wanted a silver but didn't get due to no stock, rode it down all the way to bangalore 300+kms runnin ride, what a change ! for me after riding passion for around 3 years this bike was huge and getting used to toe shifter was little diffucult finally managed and what a ride it was

An old snap of the bike



Ignore the sticker work on the mask



Clocked 700 kms in a weeks time and gave the bike for its first service Max motors in rajkumar road, pathetic service there was always a mishift b/w 4th and 5th after the service, went back saying this the crap you have done nobody is bothered to listen finally shot a mail to the delhi office the next day a lady called from delhi office and told me that one mr venkat will call me (he was the SC head for bangalore at that time) very nice gentleman very calm very patient he asked me to come to max motors coz that was the nearest one to my office took a long 15km TD and he came back and agreed there is a problem, they changed the pressure plates and replaaced the rear shocks in warranty, and venkat stood there untill it was fixed accordingly by the time work was done it was 7pm told me take long test drive at all sppeds and give a feed back, i took the new airport road and came back and therewas no mishifts and gears were butter smooth. sticked on to nikhi after this good result annd was giving it to service there till 10k. after 10k yours truly turned into one ..

After the GS betta trip in may 08 i started loosing confidence in stock tyres especially in wet conditions lot of fish tailing, so deiceed to change both the tyres bought a M-45 (3.00x18) and sirac 120/80x18 had these tyres for one weak heavy drop in mileage and pick up and the front end was much heavier than before, so ditched them to a Rd owner, and got IRC's 2.75x18 and 100/90x18 must awesome set of rubber wet dry awesome grip and absolutely no fishtailing have done about 12k kms till now and the thread wear out is about 50% which is actually more but what the heck, i can sacrifice low life for the best grip,

Some latest snaps










Have some internal pics of carb will post tommorow..

Bye yaaawn

happy diwali..........to XBHP family...

happy diwali to all xbhp family!!
even after 1st service my gear box is still hard and still vibration prevails but its intensity has decreased!!!wats problem guys????

Pressure plates and shocks requiring replacement at 1st free service?? Sounds real fishy to me...

If you ask me, you got it the other way around. Usually everything is great *TILL* the 1st service... thats when they really get their hands on your baby to rape it nicely...
