          • Got my 1st service done today. Yamaha service people are idiots. I lost my temper for they are arrogant; they just took my keys, filled the service book and left me to myself. I told the mech abt the clutch prob and a few issues with the suspension, he said he will look in to them.
            I returned in the evening 1hr past the delivery time they gave- they just changed the engine oil. Nothing else. Water servicing is NOT available, didnt even clean the bike with a cloth. Battery check not done- no instrument. Clutch is not fixed. And the service supervisor told me that is all they can do for now, end of 1st servicing. Take your bike home. I even doubt if they changed the engine oil.
            I was mad.
            I refused to take delivery and warned them about complaining to higher people. These arrogant idiots didnt even respond! I left the bike there and returned, fuming.

            I had a call 2 hrs later from them - asked me to come and take delivery. This time they fixed everything. Cleaned the bike with some cloth(? oil/wax). I took a test ride and it was okay.

            Changes I found-
            1. The engine sound is more deep. Its a feeling...
            2. Now I agree that the gear shift is butter smooth! They are perfect now, previously they were very hard.
            3. Took the bike to 55kmph in 3rd gear for the 1st time and its poweerful pull! I love it! I dunno if its gonna harm... is it okay guys?

              Its not harmful but don't do it till d 2nd service,
              and do not cross the 80 till 1500kms,

              and regarding SC's of Yamaha,

                    Half in just 2 ltrs, the meter requires about 20 mins to show d exact quantity,
                    i filled 5 ltrs after rererve, it was showing 5 bars ,then it settelled in 4 bars,
                    5+1.4= 6,
                    so it should b 3 bars there,
                    but who cares, i know how much fuel i have

                    • ONE MAJOR PROB
                      after setting clutch freeplay to manual setting the bike moves only at end of clutch travel
                      this makes it difficult in traffic conditions
                      what r you people doing about this.

                                Sorry bro, cant resist the temptation! Crossed 100kmph mark today for the 1st time... on this bike and in my life on 2 wheels! the bike zoomed till 90, and I hesitated for a while, a sharp twist , ahoy! speedo jumped to 101 kmph! I am all too thrilled! I get the feeling of riding a powerful bike for the 1st time in my life! after the 1st service, the engine feels a lot more easy going and responsive.
