    Ok.. Whats the other one? will better take to svc....
    Mumbai to Bangalore, 10k (with insurance) , Agarwal (DRS one) , No dents ... scratches if any are not major to be visible....

      So regarding less power other then AFR Setting could be culprit?
      Like cluth setting or something?

        Bro, it may affect if the clutch slips, but you can tell if the clutch if slipping (engine revs), but I highly doubt as clutch wear takes time and yours is a new bike of the latest batch. Look nowhere, take to svc and force them about the problem, if possible threat them, ask them to ride once at said RPM. Keep an eye on what they are doing, better stay with them and dont leave your machine. Keep updated.

If you find the needle jerking around then it's the RPM of the engine which is not steady, but needn't be true all times, sometime the sensor could be the culprit. But this plus lack of punch is related to carb settings (AFR) mostly. The lack of top speed can also be the same one reason.

          Try opening the choke when you feel the lack of power say @5-7K rpm. This will isolate if you are running lean. But riding with choke is not a good idea.
          Warning : Try this in an empty or open place with less traffic. Location of the choke is hard to reach

          Remember, loss of power can be both rich\poor mixture.
          Just my opinion
          Agreed.Nicely put up.
          However can you explain the Choke part.what will he be looking for if the choke is applied at around 5-6K RPM

            Guys just a small query,
            At what rpm bike does 100kmph??
            Mine does at around 6800.
            It should be same for each stock bike, but a friend said his bike do 100 at 6500 rpm and its stock condition.

            Is it possible?

                sure, Choke affects the air input and not the fuel. It doesn't draw more fuel, but it controls air to enter, usually 14:1 (air/fuel) parts and in this case on choke it shall allow 10:1. Thus making the mixture rich. I suggested that because if you are running on lean (very) you can try making it rich (safely instead of tweaking AFR screw) just by adjusting the choke lever. But this is only assumption and I had not tried. It doesn't affect or do any harm. However riding with choke on to overcome this problem is not good, it will ruin the spark plugs, oil, bad smell or fumes on exhaust and the engine will die( Stall and shut) after it gets warmed up. Too much of choke will result in suffocation for the engine and resulting in shutting down.

                Well, we first have to examine your friend's eye sight , It can only be approximate. Im not sure if I can differentiate between 100-200 rpms that easy
                Assuming for 6th gear

                60 kph @4200 rpm
                72 kph @5200 rpm
                80 kph @5600 rpm
                97 kph @6500 rpm (100 should be ~6700)
                110 kph @7200 rpm

                These are mine (stock) and no sprocketing and to my eye sight. Yes, it should be same for each stock unless you have a very lean mixture which gives a jerky ride and making rpm not stable. There could be +/- 100 rpm variations, parallax error maybe. Check out gear commander, those values are ideal, however the actual speed seen in our speedo may not be 100% correct. The speedo has some error.

                You know post 90, it's not that easy or safe to keep looking for RPM numbers

                Check out this
                https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dd6TN0_SNhE

                I put a camera on to my jacket and captured it. Sorry about the quality, it did not come better even @720p resolution as it was getting dark in a cloudy day. See @4:44 where I hit 110 kph @ ~7200-7300 rpm. And @12:35 where I hit rev max in 5th gear (rev limit led blinking) and up on shifting to 6th gear, the bike refused to pick up any speed even though I was on 100% throttle. Well, the answer was Air, it was very windy and that was a 6-lane road, also I didn't hit rev max at lower gears to gain enough momentum. On a closed road (with trees) I was able to reach 128 easily with still power left on.

                And another, recently
                Vandalur to kelambakkam road. Cloudy day, good for ride. This bike gives a comfortable cruising speeds of 90-110kmph. Beyond that wind blast affects the driv...


                Too much of wind besides roads are covered mostly. @8:23, it shows ~6800 rpm to hit 101. The tach suffers from head winds and hence it slightly differs from actual.

                  And yes mine does around 7k RPM at 100km/hr. [emoji26]

                            Don't know why he was lying.

                              hey Guys, Do anyone know how is engine mounted in frame? i suspect these mounting bolts might be loose and causing excessive vibrations for my bike at speeds of 100+

                              i analyzed engine mounts by removing everything from Bike, these 3 points are what i can locate where engine might be hooked on to the frame.

                                That's what everybody do with their bike bro. But differentiating between few hundred rpm is not easy unless it's digital. As long as you don't have vibes, just enjoy. A wind shield along with will help things better like the new AS200

                                Wow, interesting bro. Please share more light one you are done. We can also ask the svc guy to tighten up. Few things to help with vibration

                                1. Wear heavy boot, helps with vibrations on foot pegs
                                2. Put a handle bar grip, and wear gloves which helps prevent vibes from handle bar
                                3. Avoid hugging tank
                                4. Ride at top gear, sweet spot is 90-110kph
                                5. Use motul 5100 4T

                                Can you tell where do you feel vibes when riding at high speed?
                                There are of course some vibrations unavoidable and can be still felt, well it's a single pot you know [emoji2]

                                Thanks bro, helmet mounted cameras are so costly, i would rather use that for better armoured jacket. Also I'm planning to buy the bike mounts available from amazon/flipkart. It can let capture video in landscape mode.
