The power difference could be due to a more restricted exhaust, since emission norms are more stringent here. So a bigger cat-con wouldve sapped the additional power.

They wont be going to mod the engine for two countries. Simply modify the intake and exhaust systems and u are done. Case in point the RX series ( smaller carb here, bigger there ). The indian FZ when launched abroad comes with a bigger carburettor and a smaller rear tyre.

^^^ No JD; the power difference is due to valve angles at exhaust, not sure about intake though.

It's about 10 days and 300kms old and I do not cross 5k on the tacho, normally. Have touched 7k twice though, but then sanity took over.

Edit: If you have heard a FFE attached Royal Enfield misfire, you'd understand the kind of sound I'm talking about.

Uhh.... any take on this guys?

Really scared the living daylights out of me. And I also realised, this has happened earlier as well. Just that it didn't register in my active mind to take notice.

. I did 1st service @710kms. I and it is more than 5200kms now after that. And also it is not mandatory you should exactly follow the manual, it all depends on how you use and when it needs care.

Oh so after the second service the 6K interval is applicable rite?

. thanks for the info, I was waiting to do the second service at 7K

Got the bike after the Second service (oil change, oil filter change, chain lube, clutch ply adjusted etc). Rode just few kms found nearly no improvement in engine smoothness

, have used the same Honda Throttle SS 10W30 oil again. Hope it will get better as it runs few more kms.
Got my old oil filter back not much visible fragments. Found little different to ride, need to test tonight extensively.

Thanks for sharing the experience. I will be giving my bike for first service to Dream Honda tomorrow. Let us know if you feel any difference after few kilometers.

That mechanic should be really good of giving you the advice...when i got mine delivered...the dealer mechanic never gave any important instructions..

Shims seem fine, there's no tappet noise.

Ok, well, this bike as well as the previous CBZ-X are used only for touring. I do-not commute on two wheels at all. Firstly, I don't find time and secondly I prefer to be in the comfort of the the air-conditioner of my car rather than sweating it out in sweltering heat, in delhi traffic.

Hence the CBR, has done 3200 of the 4200 kilometers on tours, mostly hilly tours. I have done 3 already. And yes, I engine brake a lot, single/double downshifts while descending. That's the reason I prefer to change the oil in 2-2.5k kms. Just precautionary measures nothing else.

That's no reason IF it were ridden sane on those speeds & more. Mean, no sudden acceleration/engine braking often. IMO, the bike can keep doing 70-75 mph (130-140 Kmph) all day. I really mean all through the day. But only thing is that those speeds shouldn't be reached by redlining, but through natural course.

Answered above. There are many instances of sudden acceleration. Anyhow, I have ridden the bike to office today especially just to figure out. The harshness is still there, I believe it should go away with the second service which I plan to have done at 5K
