  • Disk Lock query

    Guys as of now a security measure is on my top priority.Found these on ebay:
    Motorbike Motorcycle Bike Alarm Disc Brake Lock YAMAHA HERO HONDA BAJAJ TVS Lock | eBay

    Motor Bikes Disc Brake Security Lock Siren Alarm Padlock HONDA SUZUKI YAMAHA TVS | eBay

    DISC LOCK BIKE HARDNER MATERIAL TOUGH LOCKING DEVICE | eBay

    Has anybody used or have idea about anyone of these.Since we can not tamper the electricals so a security sytem is out of option so have to get a disk lock only.

    • Whole Experience !

      Got My Baby @23rd of March At Kmarg Ktm
      The Bike Was Filled With Exact 3ltrs of petrol !
      Went to the Bunk n Filled up the fuel n the Figure Came To 8.21 ltrs
      While Goin Home The Bike Was Goin Extra Smooth Gears were a bit Stiff n a problem of heating was a Thing Tensing me up but it was ok as it was a Fi engine new bike 1st day 103kms had been dne !

      After tat in Another 6 days i had completed 750 kms
      in this 750 kms i had filled my tank full twice mileage was 320-360 tank to tank system in tat 6 days the gears were a bit hard heating issue were common rest bike pulled it self like a rocket at time in 6th gear at 6-7 rpms i had crossed 100kmph

      7th Day tats on 30th had gone for service after filling the oil Tank With motul fully synthetic i started the bike The Exhaust note was Like on a Softer side i was like @$% But After riding i notice the Exhaust note is Soft nly under 4k rpm after tat its like a angry Bull ! Gears were Like a Feather Touch Instrument Still a bit problem finding neutral from 1st gear but from 2nd to neutral is Dne With No Efforts The Heating Issue was also Solved not More than 4-5 Graphs where as b4 is was nly 2 graphs less even if i ride for 10 min
      The Same Nite went for a Ride to Igatpuri/kasara Ghat
      N The Whole Experience Was Like !@#$%$^&**() Bike is So Ready to go Through any condition
      Bike feels a bit Unconfy After 105-110 kmph! But Tats Ok The Bike Delivers Wat it has to As its nt a Cruiser

      At Ghats Its Like a Hot Knife Kept over a Butter Slab Unlike Other bike No Need to Change Gears at Ghats Just Play in the 6th Gear The Bike Delivers Awesome Flow of Tat 25 Horses Just To Overtake Shift to 5th n Rest of the Ghat was Done 95% @ 6th Gear
      At Ghats on 6th gear i went below the 55kmph at a curve i pulled the bike from 55kmph on a climbing ghat n the bike touched 90kmph with no efforts The Engine is so Responsive Tat Once u sit on the bike u Just Feel like Riding it whole Day Powerband on the bike is perfect At Curves The Bike Gives Full Confidence to the Rider few reasons for that might be
      1- handle bars
      2- The Powerband And Torque at a Call !
      3- The 150 section Rear Tyre n the 43dm Forks

      About the Headlights ! Its just Awesome Guys ! my Fellow Riders were Like Dnt ride on the High beam when u behind us Coz it was Irritating
      Only 1 issue The Light Dnt Cut The Light on On coming Vehicle But Tats Ok!

      Over 90kmph a Small Pathlohe is also a Direct Feel To the rider just Waiting for sme expert advice on wat setting The Rear shock should be Set to !

      This Bike is a Sure Leap in Indian Biking !
      Its Like "Ride it To Believe it" wala Funda !

      in Last 10 Days Heard Weird Q's From ppl
      Kitne ki hai ?
      Kitna Deti hai ?
      Kaunsi Company ?
      pulsar ko Modify karke Laya hai !
      Fz ko Modify karke laya Hoga !
      kitna cc ?

      Some ppl Crossed Their Limits !

      China hai na? Wtf ?

      Just Ignore Them

      Some Other cons

      The Bike Doesnt Pull as It Pulls in Solo As there is a Pillon ull See The acceleration Difference The Rear Break Feel's Like a Drum Brake

      Another Issue is The PowerBand is Jerky under 2k rpm so this Stalls the bike in Traffic When u play in 1st and 2nd Gear ! after 2k rpm till 4k rpm the bike Slowly Starts Delivering Power and After 4k rpm Its Rocket Till the 8k rpm

      The Mirrors are irritating in Traffic But at The Same Time Saves ur Hand as the Mirrors Take the Damages in Fast moving Traffic if u band Some cars mirror or some RickshaWala

      And people Still Confused With cbr 250 n duke

      Here's my point of view
      Both Bikes hav Different Characteristics
      if u want to Enjoy Each and Every Moment on ur Bike Go For The Duke Cornering,Playing in Traffics,Quick acceleration While Overtaking !
      it like a "pocket rocket" Made to MAke the rider go mad To its Characteristics

      While the cbr250 r is a Mini Sbk
      Whose Engine Is On a softer Side a bit Hard to handle in Traffics
      soft Engine But Good Low End Torque Lacks a bit in the mid range
      But Who cares ? Rite ? The Bike is a Good Tourer
      The Section Where Cbr beats the duke is at Touring The Bike at Constant 100-120kmphs ! Where the Cbr is Far Better Compared To The Duke


      in the End if u Want to Enjoy Each n Every Part on the Ride under 100kmph! Duke is Wat Bring a Smile onto face !

      a Capable Smooth Honda Engine Best Touring Experience nt Fun to ride as duke But it Does The Job For what it has Been Made

      i Would Love To hav Both the Bikes Planning For a cbr after this Naked Beauty

            Congos on the bike man... your log speaks of your enthusiasm.

            One suggestion though - please avoid the sms lingo.... it's a strict NO NO in this forum..
            Twist your wrist and feel the shift!!

                I was going to comment on the same But ne'ertheless quite well put thoughts on the bike. And I absolutely agree to the KTM & CBR thingy. It's stupidity to compare both of them, really. Both belong to very different segments and cater to different tastes.

                By the way, is the oil changed to FS from the 1st service itself? I don't have too much of an idea on engine oils but isn't it too soon?

                      See, I might be wrong in this, but conventionally mineral is used to bed-in the engine before using FS. But then, obviously the KTM/Bajaj people know much better. What does the owner's manual say?

                      P.S. Fi just needs about 3 Ltrs of fuel in the tank to keep it cool. That's about it.
