    Yep i know especially ukkadam & gandhipuram area is hectic to drive during peak hours.

      Good to hear feedback from some one who has already tried the settings .Well for me I just use the soft as i have not gone beyond city roads as yet and in Coimbatore i don't have good roads . Once i plan to ride out will switch to medium . Thanks for sharing your experience .
      Yeah..for the Suspension-tests, did some thorough off-roading too .

      Its a typical scenario here on W.E. highway signals. Regarding Suspension, soft solo is too risky for high speed manouvering and twisties, but excellent if ur within city limits and under 60kmph, its like a sofa ride.

        hehe,i normally experience regular motogps especially the stretch between bkc flyover and santacruz flyover ,thats my fav spot,always liked the handling in the hard mode but sadly since my area is all dug up,had to switch over to soft mode

                      Where in Pune are you? my experience with Kothari were not good. If you stay in Aundh, Rahul service station in front of Punjab National Bank (where the road bends after Season's hotel) does a decent job. If you detail him the problem properly chances are that it gets fixed... That is a good service as per Honda service centre standards...

                        since ur bike is in warranty i suggest u visit the service centre and explain the problem.

                          Just a suggestion, try to change the chain link (lock) and check the alignment. Hope it will solve the problem. Else, visit to service centre. The chain link (lock) will cost you approx 15 - 18 Rs.

                          Have a happy and safe riding

                          • deep statistical information for unicorners

                            I didnt find any post regarding regarding gear ratios and releated information so i am posting here...

                            Gear -----------------Ratio (respective gear)--------kmph/1000rpm
                            1st gear ------------3.0771:1 -------------------------4.05
                            2nd gear -----------1.789:1 ---------------------------6.97
                            3rd gear ------------1.304:1 ----------------------------9.56
                            4th gear ------------1.091:1 ---------------------------11.43
                            5th gear ------------0.938:1 ---------------------------13.29


                            this are figures retrived by overdrive through their test....

                            so according to these stats we could acheive the following max speeds in the following gears ..

                            Gear -------------------Max speed (these are my calculation at 9000rpm)
                            1st gear ---------------36 KMPH
                            2nd gear ---------------62 KMPH
                            3rd gear ----------------86 KMPH
                            4th gear - ---------------102 KMPH
                            5th gear -----------------120 KMPH

                            I know actual max speed of uni 113.14kmph but 7km could be expected as speedo error

                              • engine getting rough

                                hello guys i would like to know the possible reasons for the engine getting rougher after 2nd service....
                                The engine was running smooth before 1st serive ...but the smootheness has been releatively affected after the 2nd service(2nd service was done a month ago)..since then i am have these feelings about my bike

                                1)now there is more noise from the engine
                                2) The clutch cordination with gears shifting isint great as earlier
                                3)vibrations more or less are same infact nul as before

                                i have just done on 2.5k on uni in 3.5 months and never taken it beyond 80km mark..fuel effiecieny has also dropped by 2km...
