Well, cruising at 120 & still able to get over 30+ is something I've to check it out personally; especially when you say, 140's & 32 Kmpl!!! Something is wrong with my bike or with my calculations then!!!

Aah!!! Good to see a trusted company!!! I'm not worried about FE, but to stay cautious than regret

Its NH5 or Bangalore

ive clocked about 12k and i am tracking my mileage since day one. i am getting a constant mileage of 27-28 in city. and on highway i get about 31. the worst i've ever got is 26. for the past 4-5 fuel-ups, i am logging on Fuelly.com.

my riding style is a mix of relaxed and aggressive(around 50-50). i do touch red line everyday.

I've got 30+ cruising at 120. And it was when I used to get 26 in city, i.e., before your tips on city riding.

By the way, FYI to both of you: My bike is back; All's well. And yes, tyre changed under warranty.

When revving the bike a bit more than normal, I get this very unusual rattle as if the pistons are hitting against some metal thing. This happens specifically only below 5k rpm. It occurs after 10-15 mins of riding. It gradually starts diminishing as I reach 5krpm. It is not the common rattle of the shims. It feels as if something is getting damaged inside the engine. This prevents me from accelerating hard. Does anyone else faces this issue?

Went to the ASc today, thought id talk to them about the speedo console vibrations. Took a while before anyone even approached me.
Talked to a service rep, and suddenly service manager shows up.
So i told him about this vibration from the speedo area(post 1st servicing) and before i even completed saying "My friend in Blore had his speedo unit replaced free of charge", he actually said "Yeah we can replace it if there is any fault"

He asked me to keep the bike for a day so they can check it, and said "ITs good that you knew where the problem is, otherwise we'd waste time finding the actual source of the sound"
So this means they have actually had a few speedo units replaced before me here.
Hopefully No more listening to music and trying to avoid that godforsaken vibrations for me

Only managed to clock 3k so far(Only runs on weekends and random weekdays due to college)
Once this tiny glitch is fixed i will be tension free
Tyres still good as new, very grippy, brakes pads should last another 4-5k kms.

Will get the teflon coating done too.
Sometimes (like a few mins ago) i want to park the bike in front of the govt bus, stop it in the middle of the road and go thrash that ba***rd whoever spat on me and my babe
I despise this lack of common sense when people just spit out the window of a moving bus in a heavy moving bumper to bumper city traffic
Crow shits are tolerable but ppl spitting Red PAN! with saliva just makes my blood boil!

Same with me.

30+ at 120 is pretty good.. I think I averaged something similar to that. I got 27kmpl riding at 120-130 most of the time and took it above 150 couple of times, including the city ride (50kms to and fro) before joining highway(NH-2)

Glad to hear that. So you got your bike back in condition after 4 months (approx) right..

Yeah.. more than 4 months actually. But yeah, better late than never.

@Nithesh i want to ask u something bro right now my bike is running only 1800+ km in this whole thread and saw lots of ppl complaining about changing their chain after 10000km i'm little worried about it spare parts for cbr is very rare here and also expensive i ordered my oil filter but still my order is pending i've no way but to use my old oil filter that's why i'm really worried plz temme did u change u'r drive chain yet ? And what short of problems u'r facing so far so that i could be more careful thanks

Well I always get something around 25 to 28. Only total city commution these days. Long rides became near impossible after these classes creeped in! Highways. I never really tested. Next time for sure I will! But with my powerband revving! I aint gonna dream abt 30's + and stuff!

Paid is after 12K mate. Last will be at 12K! Spares are cheap! (Disc pads cost somewhere around 6X0's, Dunno abt other bikes. You can compare) That I would say! Fairings are darn much cheaper than R15. I still don't have an idea how they achieved that! (Maybe mass production and combined sharing stuff with its sibling that will be released, the 150R's i mean!)

Dunno abt the ABS and Non ABS braking capability so cant really comment! Trust me Engine is quite rev hungry! Sadly its lazy! (I am very damn sure our engines are de tuned). And from Joel's comment lot more can be achieved from it. I will get mine done soon!

DS - Good for you; I hope you're smiling from end to end again

Kishore - With 120's, I get 29.xx (never 30); I'm still wondering how come people manage 40+!!! Even during run-in I was able to get only 38, that too on the old engine.

Opinion needed

hey guys! i usually used to get my bike serviced at vapi as it is close to me but was not happy with there service as by the time i wud drive 85 km back home the bike would hav returned back to its prior condition. engine would get rough and the fairing would again start giving vibrations. it does not vibrate harshly but gives a very irritating sound above 5.5k rpm and it kills me, makes my bike very noisy.

then i got my bike serviced from venitian honda borivali but the coarseness from the engine was still there this time it returned after just 40 km of riding and also he could not take care of the fairing issue. after returning home i talked to few guys and many suggested that they use shell advance 10w40 in there bikes and one of the guys showed me a sticker on his ducati which said shell advance 10w40 only.

btw during replacing the oil, i noticed the oil that honda asc had put in her looked more like water from mithi river then oil.

i would love to knw if,

1. is shell advance a good oil. of course i do feel a notable difference in the way my bikes engine sounds but still wont hurt to ask if der is nething better. Plus one of the people i talked to suggested putting shell helix 5wsomething.

2. where can i get my fairing fixed. the sound is killing me. i usually change my gears at 6k but as the sound starts at 5.5k it literally rips my heart apart. i dont rev hard or high except for wen on highway, but even den i rev gradually and dont twist the throttle dat hard.

3. another thing i have been noticing recently is that there is a slight knocking (click click sound from the engine area) in gears above 2 and even at high revs 4k to 5k or 5k to 6k even at 6k to 7k, if u twist the throttle a little hard for overtaking. she doesnt spirit ahead as she used to before. i does not feel like a big problem but i would like to know if neone else is facing it and what action did dey take. i just dont want the issue to turn in too a big problem.

^^^ Don't change the engine oil spec from 10W-30 FS or 20W-40 Mineral (not good if you want to ride higher speeds) as what Honda recommends. The spirited jumps are lacking due to the inappropriate engine oil grades.

For fixing the fairing vibes, change the inner bushes within the fairings; your ASC might've to place an order to obtain the same.

40+ is way beyond my imagination.. even during run in period I didn't get above 35..
Leave aside 40+, if I could get 35+ on highways, then I will be the happiest person.. I think it all depends on how much control we have over our right wrist

Not that I'm unhappy about my Fe, but, anything above 30 Kmpl & speeds over 130 is good to have.

+1; like Sai says...79 Kmph all the way is more than unimaginable for me. Like I said before, if I were concerned on FE & speeds, I wouldn't have bought CBR; I would've bought Discover 100

Get is done ASAP before the warranty of the bike expires. The service guys said the speedometer console itself costs more than 5-7K.
