    And so Kuntal's problem solved. On that note my ride is up for 4th servicing on saturday. Took the first slot. The only thing apart from regular serve is changing the front brake pads, oil filter, air filter fairing tightening (especially the front visor serious vibration noise when going upwards of 5k rpm. Did a jugaad of fixing a rubber pallet packing to avoid that. rear tyre taking a lot of time to heat up i guess coz it caused powerslides quite a few times :P though thoroughly enjoyed those

          Cutting is the only thing you can do buddy.. Till now no details about where we can get these! There are many who are ready to grab this mud guard, but no source! i think yamaha should sell these as aftermarket mods! But that looks HEAVY(superrrbb)!!

                Do constant gear changing and engine braking help in better break-in of the engine?

                  i like this question. different then what usually people ask.
                  its not about constant gear changing, but dont be on the same gear for long time. now dont get confused on this. both look like same but are not. i do not know if engine braking will help or not.

                    See Engine braking puts pressure on the engine, so have the braking in such ratios
                    Front brake 35%
                    rear brake 45%
                    Engine braking 20%
                    This could be best.

                      On what basis are you suggesting this ?
                      I hardly use the Rear one (10% of the time) and mostly Front one.
                      R15 has larger disc on the Front one, so it's always advisable to use the Front one for better braking.

                        Not just R15, this is the case with all the bikes with rear disc. And there is a strong reason to it. When you brake, all the weight is transferred to the front. Hence, it is the front which has to provide the most of the stopping power. Thats why all SBKs have dual discs in the front and a single disc at the rear.

                        I myself seldomly use rear brakes. Till now over almost 17k kms, I have changed my front brake pads once at around 10k kms and will need another replacement in 2 - 3k kms, whereas my stock rear disk pads are still going good.

                          That is what i do in daily commuting.
                          Since i brake with same ratios, the things which i have gone through are
                          front tyre life increases.
                          it always helped me while instant braking.
                          i never meat with accident due to braking issue or front tyre lock as been known for riding skills from the age of 8

                          U can ask yourself, that how many times u have been gone through front Tyre skid while instant braking.
                          AT the End "what ever logic u use, your tyre should not skid while braking"
                          that is the skill of rider.

                            while instant braking everyone uses both the brakes not just the front or rear one.
                            in case of normal braking is what i was referring to.
