    1)Is that right ? I cannot switch to normal air later ?
    2)Does Nitrogen gas really worth Rs 50 ? And what kind of effects does it do ?
    1) You can easily switch to normal air, just deflate it completely and fill normal air.
    2) That depends on you, did you notice any difference? I personally didn't notice any differences. Besides doesn't Air constitute 70% of Nitrogen.

      And Water contains two units (66% of hydrogen and 1 unit of oxygen) but strangely we cant breath water, neither does it catch fire!

      There is a dedicated thread on the benefits of using Nitrogen in tyres. Good debate there.
      Does it help. Yes!

      Can you switch to normal air, ofcourse yes. You can even fill air over it but that would mean you loosing out the benefit ...

        1) After market filters are good, consider them exceptionally best in class stuff for your bike.
        2) But installing them would void your warranty which is more important than the performance atleast when the bike is new.
        3) So wait till the warranty is completed and then go for after market products which are best in class, ie - Cosworth Filter.
        4) Till then suffice with the stock settings.

        For you second last sentence, i will try not to remove the OEM filter, without removing the stock you cannot put a after market filter. Since you agree with the other way round technique for warranty then issues should not come up, go ahead with the cosworth.
        I have extended warranty , so i would definately not wait for it to be over. However considering my last experience with after market air filter ( K&N ) and my baby (CBZ-X) i would most probably stay away from them , atleast foir now

        Thanks to both of you. I would probably go with nitrogen atleast for a time or two, and see if it is actually worth it. Also am too lazy to stand in lines to fill air during petrol pumb visits.

            Is it really recommended to have atleast 4-5 lts of fuel in tank ? Does it harm the bike if not ? For a lazy bumb like me, it wont be possible everytime. Will it be doing much harm ?

              It is recommended for all FI bikes. This is for the fuel pump to be always inserted in petrol or there is a possibility of it getting damaged ..

                      it is normal during the first 500KMs or so. however, my one had some overheating issue during the 1200-1600KMs mark..had to replace the thermostat...it still heats-up quite a bit on the right side, no overheating light though...

                            Good afternoon guys.
                            Drove my baby to office today. Had fun. 1 question i had.
                            What is the proper way of changing gears? I know its stupid to ask this after 6 years of riding, but better late then never right.
                            So this is how i do it, bring down throttle to complete stop, press clutch, change gear, release cluth (not all at once - when am driving slow ) and open up throttle.

                            Is this way right ? because today i noticed, at times it would be hard to change gear. At times there will be kat sound. At times it was butter smooth. And at times while doing this bike will take break for 1 sec and then start accelerating.
                            Am i doing something wrong here guys ?

                              Right, but was it a geared bike that you were used to for 6 yrs plus?

                              Here it is;

                              1. Disengaging the clutch (using your left hand to pull it towards you)
                              2. Selecting the appropriate gear using the shift lever (with your left foot)
                              3. Slightly revving the engine (twisting the throttle with your right hand)
                              4. Gradually releasing the clutch (and not "popping" it suddenly)
                              5. Feathering the throttle while releasing the clutch, which will accelerate the bike
                              6. Revving the engine for acceleration until another shift is needed

                              Picked it up from Here
