    So it looks like heating is not the major issue...And pillion seat is not an issue for me....I will be very happy if no one sits behind me while riding DUKE
    Thanks for the reply
    All is Well

    • As with Pulsars & R15 (Split seat version), long tours will be bothersome. Lots of breaks in between for the pillion.

        • Pillion seat is not much of a problem for the person, as its not as small as it looks in the pics.

          • Take 2 empty 2 litre bottle. Go to the city. Fill petrol. Come back. Fill the tank. Ride to glory.

            Use bus,auto,car or friends,neighbour bike.

                      I feel there is no issue at all just go and filled normal petrol. Only make sure the normal petrol don't have Kerosene/oil mix in it.

                        All bikes heat up more during Run-in. It settles down somewhat post run-in especially after you start using synthetic engine oil.

                        As for the pillion seat, for what its worth, it is bigger than the one on FZ / Fazer. At least 20-25% more surface area.
                        Advice is a form of nostalgia.
                        Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

                          octane boosters are not at all helpful.

                          and the question remains why do i race?
                          every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

                          #i have learnt to manipulate my own adrenaline and the perception of biking is different.
                          #overkill is underrated.
                          #how random roads may appear there is always a destination.sigpic
                          #i don't subscribe to co-incidence,either it is the rider or the other moron on the road

                          (:)people keeps on saying add spark to life, bajaj got hold of that idea and added an extra spark to bike.

                              So the MOTUL 7100 4T would do good for the duke i guess ,as its 100% synthetic.

                              And yes its a relief to hear the pillion seat is bigger than the FZ/Fazer

                                Though I am out of riding/driving due to a dislocated elbow, I guess I can still contribute here

                                People have used normal petrol at bunks in remote places and have had no issues.

                                KTM service here is using Castrol Racing 1 10w50 FS for changing at the 1st service.
