Need Help

The coolant has drastically reduced in last few days, the the engine is heating up like hell. Its only 900km without any service or oil change. I need to refill the coolant, but will not be possible for me to go to the svc right now.

Can anyone suggest me which coolant to use and how much to pour ?

As the Coolant which is in your bike is of Motul Motocool Brand(factory default), so you need to use that only, unless you want to drain that and use some other brand. You need not go to the SVC and can refill it in your home. Just Buy the coolant from local shop, open the coolant cap(only when the Engine is totally cool), pour just a little coolant and check the level, repeat this step until the level is between MIN and MAX - and you're ready to race.

Now I am almost releived ..

1000 - 1100 RPM is surely normal ..

I am sure after reading the specs and details he would be convinced. Atleast I hope that.

Hmmm.. True, the excess heat should be due to the 55W headlamp; however, I have never touched headlight glass of any 55W headlamp before, so I never knew or expected this much heat.

Bro - I guess you are a bit mistaken here.

The factory default is Castrol Radicool. And I don't think we can directly add the concentrated coolant into the tank. It must be diluted in the ratio 2:1 (water to coolant) and then poured into the tank. Unless you are using a ready-mix which is already diluted.

(I could be wrong and would love to be corrected)

buddy you can also go for karbus disk lock costing some Rs 2000 on e bay. it has inbuilt siren in it which is sensitive to touch, or starts if someone sits on bike. i got one for myself from ebay.in and am happy with the lock. will be posting pictures soon.

Nope Bro, you are not at all wrong Actually according to the Service Manual the recommended coolant is Castrol Radicool. But during the Owners meet they told us that the bike came with Motul coolant and advised us to use the Motul Motocool Expert(Not sure whether they told that to promote Motul as there was a Motul Guy demonstrating products but it's definitely a premixed one, so no need to dilute).

Now here's my story - I recently topped up my engine coolant from the ASC itself, and this is what they have done. They just took a bottle of Motul Motocool Expert, opened the cap and added a little to topup. Now it's also possible that they took the Castrol one, diluted it and kept it in a Motul Bottle (Anything is possible under the sun and inside the ASC )Also, I am not 100% sure whether the bike initially had Motul or Castrol. I can just tell that the Motul one is of the same green color that we had initially in our bikes, but I am not sure which color is Castrol(I guess it's also green). Also when I enquired them regarding topup of the coolant before visiting ASC itself, they strongly asked me to visit ASC and get this done. However, when I told that I am out of town with my Bike and would not risk driving back to the ASC with the coolant level so low, they advised me to buy Motul Coolant and topup with it. They also told that in case of emergency if we can't get hold of any Coolant, we can use distilled water to top it up as a workaround. The only word of caution from them is never mix different brands and types of coolant. Guess it clears everyting.

Although, I am not very optimistic about things sold on Ebay, do post pics of the lock please. From your comments it seems the lock is real good, but Xena is actually a market leader. It's way costly but I also wish to have it sometime.

What Tire Pressure??

I have a little doubt here and need help. The Tire pressure according to the owner's manual is 29psi(front) and 29/32 psi(rear). However on the upper chain guard of the Bike it is mentioned as 25psi(front) and 28.5/32psi(rear). Which one is correct?? I filled up air 25psi and 32psi today and am feeling a bit of uneasiness. Seems that the handling is changed in a bad way. Now I am finding it little difficult to move the steering swiftly and it seems like I am having a flat tire.

I guess I may be not totally correct here. Just checked the Owner's manual and it says normal Engine idle speed is 1350 ~ 1450. I guess that could bee the reason why you are feeling a lag in the performance. Please do check with those SVC guys.

The readings on the swingarm is the correct one. You can have 25-28 on the front and 29-30 on the rear.

It could be your mindset

Nope Dude, I can feel something is wrong. Straight line stability is Ok, but while turning or moving the Steering I can feel the discomfort. Will surely ride a bit more to find out more about this or will visit the SVC today.

same place..
