    Hello guys . I have completed 1100 km's on ODO . But , my service date is on 31 st May 2012 . Should i give my bike for servicing tomorrow or shall i wait till the service date ?

    Now i'm really satisfied with the mileage . It returned 45 km/liter on highway ( On doubles and speed limit was 80 - 105 km/hr ) . In city it is returning 36 km/liter ( on doubles speed limit 70 - 82 km/hr . it also includes bumper-bumper traffic )
    i am very curious to know as to why are you always riding doubles? is it a compulsory thingi?

    • Some pics of my Limited Edition mini-R6!

      Here are some pics. Still havent done my photoshoot with a DSLR yet. Should be coming soon!

      For now, few pics of my White Angel.

      Snaps taken using my Nokia N900. I agree they're not that good. Stay tuned for the real deal!

      Note: Had to comply with xBhp attachment rules and hence, small images. (620x280 seems to be the allowed image size)

        Yes , it is compulsory thing for me . I don't know why , My mom loved to ride with me every time on this Baby R . She says she just enjoys through out the ride . But , after returning home she says her knees are paining and some blah blah blah scoldings :P ( after each ride she always used to say by mistake my dad got this bike for me . Instead of this she opted for CBR 150 r ( where i totally regretted that bike ) . And after an hour she again asks me shall we go for a another RIDE , LOL .

                    Helmet Model: LS2 Supra FF358 - White
                    Features: Looks super cool, Fully Removable&Washable cheek pads and linings, Air Go Pump System(for adjusting cheek pads), Removable Anti-fog/Anti-Scratch Visor, 2 vents at the top, front/back and ECE/DOT Certified
                    Price: Rs. 2930/- after discount
                    Store: I initially went to Rainbow Industries which is near gemini flyover on Mount Road. That guy didnt have any White LS2 helmets to match my 50th Anniversary and he had no idea when he'll get stock so I went to Pioneer Helmet Shop(aka Pioneer Scooter Center) on GP(General Patters) road near Express Avenue mall. This was the only one left when I bought it!

                    It is totally comfortable, perfect fit (size: L for me). Goes great with R15! I highly recommend LS2 helmets!

                        No prob and thanks! Thats cool.

                        And now a question for my fellow R15 owners..

                        Its Day 3 of riding my baby R and I although I'm lovin' it...I must say.. the backpain is killing me! It starts 10 mins after riding! So far only max. 30 mins of continuous riding and its already so bad! I'm doing the tank-hugging method too but doesnt help much! Any suggestions?

                        ODO: 141 kms.

                        • I think initially you will have to live with this back pain. Things will get better as your body grows accustomed to this riding position.
                          Even I had faced this back pain issue for the initial 2-3 weeks after I got my bike.

                          -------------------------------------------------

                          I have noticed this recently :
                          When I start my bike in the morning the tacho shows engine idling RPM at 1.4k, then after riding around 30kms on the highway (speed varies bet 80-120kmph), when I reach office the tacho shows engine idling RPM at arounf 1.1-1.2k, also there is a subtle change in engine note.
                          Also there is a tick-tick sound coming from the bike even after I switch off the ignition.

                          Can anyone explain why this happens?

                          • Metal contracts as it cools, making that sound

                            Most likely your exhaust cooling down.

                              What about the change in RPM and engine note?

                                Its the normal phenomena in all FI bikes. The Idle rpm is lower when the engine is hot. Its computer programmed for optimum performance & fuel economy.
