These are brilliant figures man. The max i could get from my bike was 62. And now due to the increasing number of times per week i've to fill petrol, i feel my mileage is much below 50.

Majority of my money now goes only in refuelling. It's frustrating.

I want to ask you guys how does the bike feel at corners. Because i sometimes approach corners at speeds above 40 kmph and the bike seems to encourage me to push harder with absolutely no protest. The tyres offer a good grip as well. I like that. Would like to know your opinions/experiences too.

^^The bike can easily take corners much higher speeds... Depends on your skill level too... Yes the Zapper C's give really good grip ( if you have them on your bike)... They are used on tracks too... But always be careful while cornering at high speeds... U never know where you'll find gravel and mud lying around...

An example of how good cornering is: Bangalore guys would have been on the inner ring road connecting koromangala and domlur... There are two curves before entering domlur from koromangala... I have been able to easily corner at around 90 there...

My gladi completes one full year of being my companion today!! After 8391 kilometres, it's been a wonderful experience and this is just the beginning! True to the Yamaha philosophy, the bike has touched my heart! Kando.

hi dudes ...

i have a query regarding the gear shifting, i know its 1down & 4 up.

but every time members talk about some R.P.M. at which you are suppose to shift upwards & downwards

can any one pls make it clear ....
what should be exact/idle shift of gear ( say upward shifting 1-2-3-4-5)for speed & consicutive r.p.m of the engine to have a max performance

in terms of smoothness, mileage.....

please reply ....

bro the bike is already having mrf zapper tyres which give it a very nice grip on turns....so just speed up n enjoy but do keep eye on the sand or bumps on the roads....
