    Special care as in?
    If you are referring to a separate service bay for CBRs, dedicated CBR technician etc, then that's the de-facto standard for all Honda ASCs who service CBRs. Accepted that many ASCs still don't follow Honda's directive, but I have seen dedicated CBR bays with both the ASCs that I have been to. (City Honda, Sapphire Honda)

      Kindly help.
      Let me give you a comparison here, from what I have heard from an R15 owner the chain and sprocket set costs 3500/- and that of a Ninja costs 12000/- . So it's upto you to decide if the price is OK. But, yes this is the standard price across the country. And as someone already pointed out, do change the sprockets along with the chain.

              Is that a plain rim tape or something written on it. I am getting the rimtapes with monster written on it. Want it plain or CBR written. Where did you buy the tape and the valve caps? Would be great if you could share the price as well.

                    I reached 125kmph, not any higher...It was a breezy affair. Before the first service, slight vibrations were present at around 6k rpm, but not too noticeable now after the service. I wear padded boots, so I haven't really felt footpeg vibes as such, if at all such a thing is common. Around 5-6k rpm, it's butter smooth. I only thing I'm not too fond of is the windscreen ineffectiveness at higher speeds.

                    P.S: Having owned RTR 180 before this, vibes mean something entirely different to me. This seems so smooth and pale at times
                    It all begins with a thumb-start -- Oh, wait, I forgot the kill-switch

                      Hmm, so there is windblast even with the windshield? By the way have you tried crouching? And one more thing, what kind of run in method did you follow? The manual or Motoman?

                        Yes, the wind hits the chest. And I prefer comfortable touring, crouching does help but for how long do you crouch while touring?
                        That being said, it isn't a tough thing to do around 120kmph without compromising on anything. And the bike has enough juice, so just kept the revs below 5k for the first 400kms, below 6k till first service..Nothing extra, nothing fancy

                        P.S: Occasional 7-8k for short bursts after it completed 500kms. And this was just a couple of times

                          I have touched 138 and there was some vibration but not very bad. Vibration from mirrors & footpegs started only after 125kmph but it never felt uncomfortable - just a regular buzzing.

                          The windblast is felt on the helmet/neck directly at speeds above 110. No windblast is felt on the body/chest. A zero-g or tyga touring windscreen would eliminate that completely.
                          I followed the manual - just avoided sudden acceleration/deceleration and rode her calmly, taking care not to lug the engine. Took her to 8000 rpm on the 3rd day itself...but yes, it was a slow, relaxed climb till 8000. Till date, I mostly follow the same, as it gives be better FE. Sudden acceleration affects FE even after run-in is done.

                            Guys, don't kill me for the question I am asking...I know this has been discussed to death. Just needed some quick suggestions.

                            I want to upgrade from stock bulbs(not HID). Options are :
                            1) Phillips Diamond Vision - 5000K
                            2) Phillips Crystal Vision - 4300K
                            3) Phillips Extreme Vision - ????

                            Which one out of these is the best? I need a whitish look of the light when looked from opposite side. Can do with yellowish throw of light. Please suggest guys. Thanks in advance.

                              Ha ha ha...Sid...I recall you had answered to my query long back saying Osram NBs were best...why do you want Philips now?
                              But yes, Xtreme vision is 3000K, so it's yellowish. If you want a whiter light, go for Diamond Vision.
                              In general 3000k (yellow) < 4300k (medium-white) < 5000k (whitest)

                                I've heard and seen that the philips extreme vision is good. Haven't really seen the others so can't comment on that.
