    Yes it can do much more depending on various conditions (rider weight, wind, luggage/ pillion, fuel in tank, slope/ incline etc).
    In favorable conditions I personally have touched 162 in sixth gear.



    I achieved top speed in 6th gear only because i hit the rev limiter in 5th gear.

    Try redlining in 5th gear before shifting to sixth on a straight freeway and you might get better results.

    I recently did 155kph in my Ceeber and I very clearly remember I shifted from 5th to 6th at 116, So I was nowhere close to the rev limiter when I did it. I don think you need to push it to the rev limiter unless you want to reach there quite fast but IMO that puts a lot of stress on your engine right? I had no trouble pulling the engine from 116 to 155, it was smooth and I believe I had some more throttle left provided I was not close to the rev limiter at 6th gear.

    Between I did not have a proper look at the rpm meter when I was doing 155kays. Any idea what could be the RPM at 6 th gear?

    Look between the top of the chain & swing arm, you'll spot a rubber slide; this is called chain slider. Kim says, keep checking it periodically; worst case, the rubber cuts & falls off; when running, the chain will start rubbing against the swing arm & makes noise. You can manage for over 30-50 Kms (which is not recommended full hearted, but on unavoidable circumstances).

    Get one from ASC & replace (you can do it as DIY also by removing the front sprocket cover) it as soon as you can.
    Thanks Argee/Kimshine will check it out shortly..

    Sometimes it takes a whole tankful of fuel before you can think straight.

    It was not that far on the map.

                            Two standard methods...
                            1. Take to dealer, they talk with the Conti in the locality/city & get it replaced, that may or may not come with a small additional price depending upon the dealer
                            2. Take the contact of Conti from the Honda dealer, ask the dealer to remove the tire, take to Conti dealer, they inspect the tire & ask you to pay on pro rata basis of wear & tear; bring the new tire to ASC for fitment.

                            Lol!!! I knew it, that's why I asked for the pic

                            Check the yellow encircled place as attached in the image between the chain (on the top of swing arm OR under the chain cover) & the swing arm
