        I'm speechless too..!! The best I've ever got was some 34 odd kms to the litre of Speed. And that was on a highway. Happy for you
        By the way which Speed do you use? 91, 93 or 97 RON?

        On a serious note - Arjun, I'm not sure if you own a C250R, if you do, please for once go through owner's manual or bare minimum go through HMSI website. I can even pardon your spelling mistake of Carburetor for car-bor-tor (quite rhythmic ), but certainly HMSI folks would if they hear C250R is using car-bor-tor
        Almost fell off my bed laughing. Please be more careful with your humor henceforth.
        By the way, your car-bor-tor sounds like one of the creatures from Transformers!

        Have you enquired with Shiva's ASC? I'm asking this because they were supposed to get stocks of spares this weekend.

          Oil filter is available in TODI.. one of my friend who got his bike from Shiva got it replaced there yesterday only... As far as i know for the past one month, in Shiva ASC they are giving the same reply(spares will arrive this week) whenever asked..

              Yes, yesterday I went there by myself, according to them not a single oil filter in kolkata till now,They now maintain a record of those customer who didn't get oil filter changed in their 1st Service.

              Thanks for the info, then I'll try by myself in Tuesday. According to Shiva none of ASC get filter until Auto Craft receive the stock who is the main stockiest in Kolkata. They also claim Todi & Aradhona don't have either.

                Above all when u go for your first service don't even let them touch the carbortor as when touched your average will automatically come down and it will never be able to come back to that level again what ever u do.

                • sorry guys my pc died on me so can't catchup like i used to. Using cybercentre for now
                  Got my bike on Oct 8th and its been 220kms (thanks to my engg schedule )
                  So far so good.
                  Never took it past 5k rpm.
                  Love the pick up
                  Engine grunt good past 4k
                  No rust problem so far even though i havent cleaned the bike in 8 days despite heavy rain.
                  Footrest rubber seems strong enough

                  Cons:
                  False Neutrals(one too many times)
                  Hard gear shifts
                  A little bit of vibrations in the fairings

                  Rider error: Stalled it almost 20times in 8 days
                  Hate myself for it.
                  The holy Nimbu with a metal wire created quite some tiny not so deep scratches on the front mudguard. Will the ASC do something about it?

                  Query: Is filling Nitrogen in the tyres a good idea? If so how many days would it last if i can average about 200kms a week?
                  Please let me know ty

                  cant upload pics till i get my pc back :/
                  but can link to my fb profile for now

                        The mileage can be very much improved upon adjusting the CO percentage.

                        • Hi,

                          Today I found small drop of OIL in the garage floor just below the engine where the bike parked.

                          So when I closely inspect lower portion of the engine there is hardly anything visible and there are 3 pipe and thought may be something extra drain out from there, but once I wrap my finger around the 'Oil Drain Bolt' I got some black dirt substance and a fresh ring of Engine Oil.

                          1. Is it normal ? Can anyone confirm they got into similar situation ?
                          2. I don't think the mech @ ASC didn't properly tight the bolt. Is it ?

                          After the first service,couple of days later I first encounter the OIL drop in the floor but thought,may be it come from drive chain or foot peg coz the mech at the SVC lubed everything in the bike....and literally there are some oil drop from the bike in other portion (like drive chain,rider foot pegs and pillion foot pegs) of the floor, but now all those portion of the bike quite dry which lubed heavily at 1st service.

                          Service History:-
                          1st Service done & Oil Change 565km

                          Now :-
                          972 Km in ODO.

                          There is No oil drop before the 1st service or first 550km.

                          Please experts let me know, what to do ?

                          Or anyone can confirm It is normal ?

                          • Clean there using diesel or kerosene and check once more and make sure about it.

                              This is not normal. By this time the engine oil level must have been dropped. Do no delay,visit the svc asap and ask the mechanic to check the oil filter. The metal gasket must have suffered some misalignment or the oil filter must not have been fitted properly. I am kind of sure this would solve the issue.

                              Good Luck.

                                Thanks

                                Will visit SVC for sure ASAP, but the OIL leaking from the Engine OIL Draining Bolt and not from the Oil Filter portion and the question about fitment of the filter, there is nothing to worry cuz it never changed/touched due to lack of spares, So it is factory fitted unit.

                                Once the engine used,then there the OIL around that bolt,else none.

                                Will do that and let see......Hope everything will be ok.


                                P.S:-
                                I'm worried because in my home there is a HH 100CC as the backup bike which have the same situation only after 10 years 55k ODO, and the reason of so destroyed thread of the engine oil draining socket/hole due to its age/usage.
