    I been using a lot of throttle blipping on my bike than normal gear braking .. is that ok? It's become sort of a addiction.

      I am trying this method, but it's really difficult to attain when you are getting late for office 😂😉 you know what I mean .
      Yeah but returning home I follow this procedure 👍

        Iam talking about the 5pin relay. fuses are ok and we have a spare one in our fuse box already. There are two relay which iam talking about in the left side of the fairing second one is for the fuel pump.

With meagre properly equipped service centers out there and trained mechanics for the motorcycle, plus spare availability an extended warranty would definitely suffice. Coming to vibes, if your bike is brand new and hasn't covered more than 4k, then give her some time and make sure oil is replaced at the right service intervals. Yes, on some bikes the rear fender can be a very very slightly off center, perfectly normal, especially with ABS ones, tolerances, can't help. With regards to buzzing at the front cowls, check your mirror stalk and the fairing screws for proper torque. ALso see, if anything abnora



        AFAIK, the fan relay doesn't go kaput very often in the CBR as your mechanic stated. Probably you have a faulty fuse socket or water ingress which either oxidated and caused a short. Check the fuse box, clean with compressed air (just a whiff) check the fuse box itself for any undulations or any nicks in the wires that join the box. Cracked wires indeed can cause arcing and fuse. A frequently shoring fuse can be an indication of short circuit in the wiring which caused the short in the first place. But it's a good idea to keep fuses handy as those fuses are not provided as a spare.

          If throttle blipping is done correctly you will reduce the wear of the gears while down shifting. And vice-versa so do it in a correct way.[emoji106]

            [MENTION=81388]D.j[/MENTION] - don't worry about rpm limit during run in. As per our manual, just avoid sudden and rapid acceleration and deceleration. I followed the manual, and I have no problems at 40k kms. I took her upto 135 kmph before first service too. This 4000 rpm limit is not for Hondas, it's been plucked from some other bikes manual and projected as truth.

              Thanks V J for your response,
              I will definitely go for the extended warranty ������..
              How much does the Honda oil can be used 4k kms ? As service interval is 6k kms .
              For mirror and visor vibes , the mechanic told that he needs to completely open the front fairing and check if there is any loose nut .
              The rear tail is slightly more than off center . I will post a picture for this ..
              Any help for the HH rated brake pads , I want to order them in advance .
              Honda oil be it SS or FS can be used to a max of 3.5k on motorcycles. Unlike car engines which have separate oil for gearbox and the engine, a motocycle oil goes through far more stress/shear and it's always a good idea to replace oil at around 3.5k kms. The NISSIN caliper/pad setup themselves offer very good feedback and very good stopping power, and the pads themselves are not cheap. A HH rated pads can be sourced from EBC depending on the availability here in India, but your best bet would be stock NISSIN pads.

              These fuses are located to the left of the bike near the left fairing/cowl, two indeed, one fan relay and fuel pump relay. These are very pretty much solid on there, and don't give up easily. If you feel repeated blown fuse, check your wiring.

              Throttle blipping is good which helps reducing the lag between the tranny and the engine, but doing it excess robs the pleasure of riding itself. Do it overly and you can feel the engine over rev beyond the perfect rev/slot engine rev range and it can actually rob the joy of riding. Just the right amount of blip during down shifting aids in precise gear shift and slot. Over do it, and you over rev the engine.

              Cheers!

              Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
              The girl said, 'NO!'


              And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.

                I'm not too worried about the engine being over-revved it's a matter of rev matching , and I am on 300v motul, I've realized blipping is quite useful while cornering and in tracks, it could be harmful if the it's done wrong as you've mentioned , but I feel like I've got a hang of it, somehow blipping feels a hell lot easier on the dukes, probably is that because of the shorter gear ratio?

                  The first service is done by previous owner I am into second one, though sometimes i go really hard on her touched 150 once but mostly I am riding in between 75 - 90 kmph range .

                    Thanks VJ for the information , I am in now 3000kms with Honda oil will change it soon ., Oil looks dark brown now .
                    Yeah the Nissin brake pads are pretty good and gives good stopping power but the more the stopping power the better it is , especially when the price difference is not much . ☺
                    I have read reviews of Sayhi2sai .

                      65-80kmph on 6th gear is where you'll get most fuel efficiency, but I'm not bothered about FE soo I stay at 110-130 kmph on highways 😊

                        My daily run is around 100kms so can't play with FE however the bike gave me max 33 kmpl . Thinking it will improve by next service ..
                        Yeah but it is fun to ride in higher speed range . 👍😊

                          Hello all,

                          Few queries,
                          1) I believe that even though my bike in mint condition and just reaching 10k, bike can be some more smoother. Considering 3 more year Honda warranty is pending? Is there anything I can try? I have heard people using shell or motul synthetic oils and CBR performs much better than Honda oils.
                          2) noticed that bike got switched off 2-3 times in traffic on lower gears, but clutch was properly applied? Do I need to use any fuel additive to clean the firing?
                          3) after applying the 3M chain lube, I can see some oil drops on side stand ? Is it connected or do I need to worry about any other leakage? I have checked the side and top of the engine parts, all looks good.

                            There are always alternatives, one way or the other. Keep us posted if you intend to swap the NISSIN with HH, in case you do that.

                            Not really. Throttle blipping aren't associated with gear ratios. We usually rev match when we downshift, meaning when the transmission is spinning faster than the engine, so gear ratios don't come into play here. Gear ratios come into play w.r.t to how tall or how much a single gear can rev within given rev band. Bigger ratio means longer RPM range, shorter ratio means requires quicker shift.

                            Cheers!

                              Since you've just completed 10k the engine should be a lot smoother by now, call it the perfect puberty age for any engine. You can try fuel additives, though these can be hit or miss, meaning for some they do find some difference, for some, absolutely nada. Yes, get used to the clutch is one key to avoid clutch induced stalling, make sure there is a little rev build up in the engine so that the bike doesn't stall. Coming to oil leak, yes, when excess lube is sprayed over the chain, they flow down near the gear shifter or the counter shaft sprocket, that's normal. Clean the area with a rag dipped with petrol or kerosene.

                                because the dukes love to be revved
                                the dukes are big bore n short stroke compared to the cbr which makes it more rev happy. bore is the inner dia of the cylinder and stroke is the length of travel of the piston in the cylinder
                                duke200: borexstroke: 72 mm × 49 mm
                                duke390: 89 mm × 60 mm
                                cbr 250r: borexstroke: 76 × 55

                                these are over square engines, hence more rev happy.

                                A shorter stroke setup usually revs more happily . Now look at the bullet.. it's a long stroke it doesn't rev up as much (6000 redline i guess) as other motorcycles do.
