So you're average speed was around 53 Kmph; reasonable FE for that speed though. GoodOriginally posted by Rajathslr View PostSkill is what keeps you on a Motorcycle

So this means that the console shows FE on a lower side! KTM/ Bajaj is exceeding expectations by keeping them low enoughOriginally posted by Rajathslr View PostYes because while Reserve basis calculation was showing 60kmpl

Uh, that's bad :\ ... I was told that people who booked their bikes in the first 2 weeks got their bikes!!!... I even saw a couple of people taking their bikes home when i bookedOriginally posted by rohitoasis View PostHey people who have booked on 11th Feb have not received it yet.
Was one of the first people to have the test drive as soon as bike came to the adyar showroom. (on 24th)... I still have hopes that I ll get my KTM before end of march!...
Fingers crossed...
Any official / proven tentative delivery time for my bike (booked @ chennai on 24-2) are welcome!! :P :P :P-Jyo-

I don't know about the blue thing on the rear disc cable but...Originally posted by Rajathslr View Post
What you described about that sound from the gear shift down could be that you were too slow when you shifted down and IF the chain was loose, the chain may have slipped and made the sound or you didn't pull the clutch in long enough while down shifting... and the gear didn't enter the cog of the front sprocket smoothly...but the good news is it happens! no matter how careful you are! But I really doubt something like that could do any permanent damage to your gearbox...the components though made by Bajaj have also been jointly designed by KTM keeping Endurance in mind...It is afterall what those countless Dakar Rally wins KTM has bagged illustrates...they make really tough bikes ;-)Last edited by joshzma225; 03-04-2012, 11:58 PM.Speed, it seems to me, provides the one genuinely modern pleasure.Comment

Here in Mumbai I booked the Bike on the 24th of January 2012 and I still haven't got the bike yet. Although I was informed that I could definitely have it by this Friday the 9th of March...the Bike is physically there but the RTO formalities and registration is taking the longest time...plus Holi is around the corner...so somebody is gonna be slacking off and I may have to wait longer...Speed, it seems to me, provides the one genuinely modern pleasure.Comment

I know you guys are still doing your run-ins,but if some of you can post the exact acceleration/topspeed/performance figures,it would be really helpful!

But I really dont think the ECU reading is 100% reliable...Now that i have had the tank full and been riding in city limits within a day or two will post my city limits mileage..
And I did find a difference between SHELL normal and High octane, Engine was slightly smoother in feel..Comment

all those horrific fe figure will sure come down after run-in.
cause you are gonna rip it hard.and the question remains why do i race?
every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

Dude, you are getting such a FE is because of run-in. I was getting between 40 to 50 kmpl from my Ninja 250R while run-in. Now I am getting around 22 to 28 kmpl depends on riding conditions.Originally posted by Rajathslr View PostI knew this ws coming
