Go to office find some free internet. Type in a cock and bull story, drawn from stories across forums/ownership threads or imagining one's self to be a genius of the Nth order. I seriously wonder if the forum transformation filtered few people with "all fart , no fact " Brains.

              6th gear is overdrive, really tall. no worries, esp you were on ghat roads and with pillion.

                Wind might be the problem and try shifting at above 8.5k rpm all the gears and shift to 6th only after you make the most of 5th

                • one question...i was worried when the sixth gear stuck at 7K rpm.....i think here the gear ratio comes into play!!

                    I dont think anybike would redline on 6th gear. So thats not the problem.

                      • We were a group of 8 riders. No pillion. We were there from 2pm to 3.30pm. A roaring RTR was our identity

                        We werent going for top speed, were driving at 60 to 80kmph strictly. Even on the curves 60 was easy for R15. I hope a long ride after first servicing and 1000kms wont hurt my bike

                          Definitely its hard with a pillion, and at ghats the top speed will be definitely affected. Dont worry on simple things

                          • yes speed reduces with pillion. the 6th gear is not supposed to hit revv limiter and also for more speed. its just for cruising. happens when witout the pillion too, when heavy winds are there also the speed reduces. nothing to worry. wanna add one more thing (OT) guys we are riding to hogenekal, bangalore YRC is meeting up with chennai YRC on 30th dec 2012. for more details click this YRC Ride

                            anyone interested can join in.
