        How else would the welding be done?




        You still want to complain about the welding?..

        & abt the oil. I changed it @ ~250 & it was bad. So you decide.

              What you have listed is absolutely perfect. Here my thoughts.

              To keep it very simple not get confused with all of things available.
              1. Optimum No rinse for cleaning purpose. Remember as mentioned in previous post minimum water wash on CBR's
              2. Collinite 845 for waxing. You can use this almost on all the places in CBR

              Nothing more than this is required for maintenance of your CBR.

              Thanks a lot buddy, , all confusions clear...

                Not yet, initially I reached 149 kmph after compeleting 1000 kms. After that I could usually do 148 kmph max and ran out of road.

                Yesterday I broke this barrier and reached 155 kmph, I was riding at a speeds of 146-148kmph and kept going hoping to achieve more top end and lucikily I had a down slope on the fly over after a short while and the speedo instantly rushed to 154-155 and the Rpm was at around 9800 RPM. I maintained this speed for 4-5 secs even when down hill got over and later had to slow down for traffic.

                @all I had bought a basic HD camera (Creative VADO HD) long back for this bike but never got to use it as I could not find a proper mount for it. Has anyone fixed a video camera on the bike yet? Any suggestions from where I can get a good and effective mount for this camera which is not very costly? below are a few examples of what would solve my purpose. Also note in both videos their top speed is achieved at downhill

                    There's a power that comes from deep inside of you
                    'Cause every day you're reaching toward the light
                    And you know there's a long long way ahead of you
                    But when your wheels get you there,
                    Things will turn out right!

                      • Speed Check

                        Last Saturday, I just checked the Speedometer Indicated Speed vs Mobile GPS Speed.
                        I did a top speed of 145 kmph (speedo indicated). Later I checked for the reading on my mobile GPS and it showed me 138.12 kmph.
                        I'm not sure how accurate these reading are, but based on my calculations, the speedo error was +5% .
                        Anyone tested for these things?

                            It took me exactly one week to get. I don't know how much they will charge in other places. For me they took 525Rs/-.

                              Yep Don't use Collinite on your headlamps. They work miracle for the first few minutes on rain & after that, its only a disaster.

                              Where did you check? Mr.Shyam said he would be getting ONR boxes this week. So hurry up your order before they're gone.

                              I'm yet to test & confirm. However, the reviews are uncompromising & that's provoking me to buy one. If you buy Meguiar's wax, pls let me know the outcome as I already bought Collinite & I'm happy with it.

                              Quite normal on the new motorcycle. But as you progress (say, 500+ Kms), change the engine oil & then you'll notice the heat comes down.

                              Lol!!! Detergents are what harming the paints & that's what is missing with ONR.

                              8:30 AM to 6:30 PM Mon-Sat. Take it around 9:30 AM when the technician comes; just let me know when you'll be there & I'll send sth over the PM.

Since I'm on full gears usually, no one dares to talk with me Even if someone does, I've a standard answer - Its my friend's bike; period; after that no more questions; especially when most people try to strike a conversation in our country with - "HOW MUCH"

                              PS - Guys, pls expect a very delayed response for a week from me as I'm having limited access during day time

                              • Poor Chain Lubrication after first Service

                                Dear Friends,

                                Please take a look at the images which i clicked after 4 days of my first service done by Rajinder Honda(Delhi).

                                Whole chain is rusted by just few drops of rain, which proves the worst quality of service.


                                Friends------Please give me HSMI complaint numbers or email address, i want to give them a love letter regarding their product which needs more care then a little baby need.
