lol. so if engine braking puts pressure on engine does it mean that accelerating will not put pressure on the engine? What do you think engine braking actually is? i would like to know. do not be confused with word "braking" there.

and about the highlighted part, when do you usually use this technique? there are various situations where the Braking can differ. panic braking, normal conditions where you dont have to apply too much brakes, wet conditions, muddy roads where chances are that you might skid, sometimes you will have to brake while turning. etc etc.

4th servicing done on saturday . Engine Oil front brake pads changed. Total cost 1095/- (505+430+160) 160/- buck s for the brakes overhaul.Also got the rear brake peg adjusted a little bit lower. Excellent job done by the svc I must say. Also air filter was insanely dirty. can feel the difference in the ride.The front break pads had no asbestos material left on them :P totally worn out. Had the rear disc pads brushed and cleaned too. didnt opt for the chain cleaning and lubing as I do it regularly at home. On another note had the headlights changed to osrams 35W 4300K and white LED's for pilot lamps. Low beam is okay. Switch on the high beam and bang, you get a good light spread better than the stock. Moreover the headlights are not exactly the white ones which are killer to look at but a soothing 'sunlight' color temp as they say. i think nastro has also plonked these same bulbs..

Wash it when u feel like its dirty or dusty, never ever dry wipe your bike with a dry cloth. I am using Formula1 wash and wax Rs. 550, first wash rinse the bike with water, then using as needed car shampoo (stay away from harsh shampoos or washing powders like Nirma) mix the shampoo with water, wash with a good clean cotton cloth, best bet is to use a old Turkish towel, rinse to remove shampoo make sure you donot leave foam residues, I use chamois cloth Rs.590 (best thing i bought for automobile care) cloth to wipe the bike after washing, I have some pics of my bike in the earlier posts, it still looks the same or I might be imagining, better than when it was in showroom! Might be a ill exaggerating here, though you don't need to polish every time you wash, once a month carnauba wax polish Rs.450 which I use is sufficient if you have a good shampoo to wash. regarding the plastic parts, my previous experience maintaining both cars and bikes using Waxpol which is vinyl polish also gives good shine though attracts a lot of dust, also makes it look dull if not used frequently. There are many products available in the market though I have been using formula1 products for my cars and bike from I think past 10 years, how these products last depends on your usage but I have couple of other vehicles too of which seldom anyone can guess how old they are! I will soon try some other high end products and post review. But If I am correct xbhp is shutting down on 12th this month :-(

Thanks and anyone know where to get genuine Formula 1 wax??? and i saw in ********* there are two products,same quantity but different price (one was paste wax)...So which to buy??? and any link on how to wax the vehicle??? Sorry am a Newbie here

And thank God xbhp is Back........The world will Not END

Guys I have recently moved to Bangalore from Pune and I don't know much about the city. I stay near Old Airport Road. Can the Bangalore guys tell me where would be the nearest and best place to get my bike serviced?

I was in the same boat a year and a half back . Trust me, you will love the city.
I believe the nearest service center for you would be Orion Motors, Koramangala. But if you are ready to go a little further, go for Sprint Yamaha, Hosur Road. They have been serving our bikes really well. Worth the extra distance if you ask me.
