They have better fuel efficiency,true, but at the cost of torqueOriginally posted by Sunjay Kumar View PostIts better not to do anything till the first service
dont worry man competition white fazer is a georgeous bike
will the first 1k up shift at 3k
and do not cross 4k in any gear
just have to controll your emotions till the 1k
i have heard that the new lot i mean the 2011 editions
have better fuel efficency
maintain correct air preassure fill it up with good quality fuel
dont rip till 1k
If you are sure that you will not cross 1k in 30 days then dont try to
its always better to have an early oil change in run in
if you get your bike serviced before 1k then continue the run in way of driving till 1k
go for the chain lube in 500kms
..13.6 Nm is the new torque figure on the Yamaha site while older ones were 14Nm

Bad Days!!
I guess i am having bad days since, yesterday!!
Day1: Bike got picked up for illegal parking, although they have mentioned some weird days of parking on the either side in Bandra but no details where and when!! Anyways, admitting my mistake gave the fine and got me bike back..
Day2: Today some a$$wipe toppled my bike. And just to add more to my frustration, to show that it was not his car who did this, he simply lifted the bike and toppled it to the other side and left!!! i mean WTF!!
Luckily the Front crash guard protected the whole bike from any damage, no scratches.. nothing!! the only thing that took the hit was the right hand side, side plastic weight bar on the handle, few scrapes of plastic missing from it and the front brake, which got turned downwards and the break lever bearing minute scratches.. however just a little bit of pushing, all was hunky and dory!!
My biggest fear was that now the bike's cone set or the handle bar would be damaged, so did a small test of leaving the handle bar while bit on speed on an empty road.. and to my relief she is alright!
However, i won't take any chances and will get everything checked in my next upcoming service. If anything needs to be tweaked or replaced.. will get it done then and there itself.. If i see that car tom again, will give my gratitude by making new use of my bike keys and his car paint!!

I completely understand your frustration buddy, next time try and find space adequate to park only the bike so that no one else hurts her!Originally posted by shv18 View PostI guess i am having bad days since, yesterday!!

I will bwe very happy if you could put the pics of the shine and also the wax boxOriginally posted by rohan_5013 View PostJust buy yourself a can of turtle wax regular and wax the bike yourself..the can is 240 Rs. and lasted me 6 months..gonna buy the 500rs liquid polish now and can put up pics of the shine if you want.

my main doubt is whether wax and polish are the same
and how does both differ
the difference in torque can be experienced only after riding the new edition
my friend has take one i will wait till he finish his bikes first sserviceComment

Wax is something that retains shine. Polish are abrasive that removes scratches and restores paint job. Armorall and Turtlewax are the best brands available.Originally posted by Sunjay Kumar View PostI will bwe very happy if you could put the pics of the shine and also the wax box

I use cheaper Formula 1 Scratchout (Polish) and 3M Wax.#RetiredRider

Rubbing compounds are very hard abrasivesOriginally posted by kinshuk.arya View Post (I got 3M FinesseIt for that purpose)
Google Polish vs Wax. We use Polish as common term for both
