    Best times to avoid traffic
    Reach outer ring road by or before 7am and between 4-5 pm..
    Being doing this over couple of months..
    There a alot of small roads and gallis to bypass traffic.. You'll need explore yourself one..

    Mostly I find too much of car traffic. Even at morning 5:30am I found roads were almost full..ufff...

    Same I faced in Gurgaon. Too hell of car population in Gurgaon. Mr [MENTION=75452]GauravD[/MENTION] must be knowing better [emoji6]. My stay was like three month's and cars after cars and hardly spotted bikes... I was like begging to see a bike in 2012... Maybe that was me....

      Thank You GauravD for your detailed reply..

      Today Something happened that i was dreadfully anticipating for a couple of weeks, I apply sudden brakes and d rear just tail gates and the bike goes off road I Fall with bruises all over my right side, thanfully the NS has good crash guards so not a single scratch to any part of the bike, but after picking the bike i saw that there was some liquid on road is it oil or petrol or some leakage that i should be worried about ??

      Coming to the Mileage Part i fill the tank to the brim and den wait till the Fuel Indicator starts to blink dat is how i ascertained the mileage, I should check the amount of fuel left when the fuel indicator starts blinking to get a better idea of the mileage going forward.

      I will check with the ASC guys about the things mentioned above by you.

      Will seriously have to change tyres now, I am constantly living with the fear of skidding badly...

      Also I have noticed that the rear Mono shock is tooo hard it just doesnt absorb any bumps and everything is passed onto my body leading to severe back n head ache every evening ! any work around for this ?

      I feel that I in good company with so many people with great knowledge about this wonderful bike, i Just wish i get rid of this small niggles, i absolutely love the power and feel this bike has !
      Glad you are fine. What is your current Tyre?. Sorry about the incident, but rear wheels locking are the major reason for most of these skidding on non abs models. Panic braking most fo us iht rear first.

      That Liquid must be petrol....that usually overflows when fallen and nothing to worry. Thats why I said ns crash guard has been designed well....MRF is better than euro.

      I remember when I changed for my Activa used Tyre exchange , the dealer asked me" How many used Tyres I need for free". I was like what de hell.....

        thanks much for replying. I can't notice it sway towards left. But that ASC guy just seeded the intuition of the bike not being 100% perfect. only thing I am worried is the uneven tyre wear if there is the real bend in t stem.

        Also I drove some 1000 kms in last two days but now I feel that above 6k in 6the gear is not smooth. Kind of inconsistency in fuel burn I feel so like that.
        FYI, the bike has new engine oil come 500 kms back, chain lube is good, still starts without choke in single click, and returns FE of 38 in mixed mode below 70 and 32 in 250km triple digit non stop cruising.

        What would be wrong. I did noticed a slightest drop of oil below the engine where the gear ratchet protrudes out, yesterday

        .

        Here is the reference picture.


        Also would tyre dealers swap my 6k odo tyres for some MRF or Michelin? It makes me sense to swap and get good grip.
        Also should swapping both is recommended or the rear alone would suffice?
        MRF zapper for regular riding and touring. Michelin if you have no budget issues and want excellent feedback. MRF zapper seems a lot better compared to euro. Knee touching corning and braking..both are great... by the way, burn as much rubber as possible before selling it [emoji6]

          Mrf is good but I don't think Michelin is that great , had it earlier on my p220 & it was not so good. MRF , Ceat is good .

              I heard lot of positives about RevZ.
              I am planning to upgrade atleast the rear tyres now to MRF keping the front as such as eurogrips. I have done 6k on ODO
              But should go with?
              Revz 130/70 R17 Tubeless Motorcycle Tyre (Stock sizing)
              Revz 140/60 R17 Tubeless Motorcycle Tyre

              Remember the front will stay as such.

              Both costs 3150. I hope its not steal deal for the price I am paying for. Also can somone tell me possible way to dispose of the stock Eurogrips. I am swapping the tyre purely because of cornering and panic braking.

              Or any better tyres I should look within the same range? (+/- 500)

                Revz is good in dry and wet.. Though you'll have to be careful in wet conditions..
                Want better grip in both dry and wet and also corners go for Michelin pilot street costs 5.5 k but its worth it.

                  Revz is better than Zapper. You can go for it. Again money is the concern. And this is a worthy buy. You will enjoy great cornering (depends on your lean angle and road) and improvement on wheel locks... I couldn't still sell my Activa Tyre and not even for a free recycle...maybe that's just me...

                    Hey,
                    Which is more VFM? Revz or Michelin pilot street?

                    Any comments on this Michelin?

                      Both are vfm according to their prices
                      Choose mrf if on tight budget if have moolah to spend choose pilot street..

                        The listing on snapdeal is for pilot sporty & not street.
                        Avoid pilot sporty .

                              You probably need hours of burnouts in order to wear them down i guess:banghead:
                              I am also still stuck on the eurogrips. Suffered a lot of fishtails. Wondering when my luck will run out on me. Hoping to make a jump to the Michelins. My mechanic owns an NS too and he cant stop talking about it

                                Guys anyone using motul 7100 20w 50 oil?
                                I serviced my bike yesterday oil had done fricking 7000kms with only little signs of harshness after 5000kms
                                What amazed me was the drained oil colour was reddish black and not completely blackish .. Kind of worried whether the oil is doing its job of keeping internals clean or something else is wrong..

                                The oil filter had turned blackish though...
