    During first couple of hundred km...in heavy traffic while returning home i could hear the radiator fan sound before that hot air blowing to my legs which attracted my attention towards radiator fan sound
    Yes Now the radiator fan noise I barely hear while riding as the streets conditions have been less traffic heavy and radiator fan has been less vocal of it has got on...without me realizing.

    You may go to like through this article's link posted way back in this thread
    Excerpt from the article-

    Don’t mollycoddle your new engine with expensive oils either. Running in oils are rare and completely unnecessary on a modern engine, but here’s a shock, don’t splash out either on a costly fully synthetic oil until your engine’s covered at least 5,000 miles (8,000km). This comes from the highest authority, Castrol, who would love you to buy the company’s expensive synthetic oils...

    Running_in_17
    This is why the Castrol boys know what they're talking about
    Peter Brett says that they’ve discovered synthetic oils actually interfere with running in, for reasons which go beyond their low friction properties - there also seems to be a chemical process happening which hinders it. “Although you can treat an engine as fully run in after 500 miles, surface stabilisation continues for at least the first 5,000 miles of an engine’s life,” he says. “Synthetic oils actively prevent this from happening, and not simply by holding friction surfaces apart, although we still don’t know exactly why and how this happens. But there’s no doubt they inhibit the process itself. So the consequence of using a synthetic too early is your engine will never run in properly. I would even suggest waiting until 10,000 miles (16,000km) before using it in most engines subjected to normal use. Until then, you’re best to use an inexpensive but branded mineral oil.

    Long posts are good mate..no probs discuss as much as you can about the bike
    Sure, will check on it!

      Great info & I think have read that earlier before too!

      But most of the OEMs' don't put mineral oil on their new bikes. Bajaj itself using SS oil in NS & RS series made by HP 20W50 which I confirmed with their ASC manager. He also told KTMs come with FS MOTUL oil as OEM filled.

          Which one? For Kim or ns200? I asked at their SVC & also at their bike lot here in coimbatore where they keep their new bikes & do all the initial installations like accessories, etc. Actually I visited there to select color of my bike since they didn't have all versions in their showroom.

          Anyhow I will give my feedback on using FS oil once the 1st 2k ODO completed - especially any negative impact if any, which will may help others.

            Hp one (20w-50)

            For ktm its motul 7100 fs oil

              Yep I knew it already & I have shared the info here few posts ago. The service engineer in the lot bay also told me that now a days all engines are kept under complete DYNO stress test in the factory & etc.

                Yes I changed to BAJAJ FS 10W50 at the first service at SVC. Recently changed to MOTUL 7100 FS 10W50.

                So 60k on ODO, any chance of motul 300v used in your bike - any exp on it? And how was your running in thing?

                    800+ on odo..
                    Since two days have been started taking the bike now and then to 5k-5.5k rpm in 5th and 6th gear
                    Today touched 80-84kmph but forgot to look at rpm Meter
                    at 6k rpm it was about 73-76...I kept it there for about 15 seconds
                    80+ speeds is dismissed by bike engine as normal which was good speed on my previous bike cbz extreme but bike has a floaty feeling as if it's gliding on air not exactly planted but not anxiety inducing either

                      Don't worry same thing happens with me when I was new to ns but after sometime you'll be getting used to it its very stable on high-speed ( sucks on windy days specially on cross winds)
