    .
    Many riders are quick to change their bike's suspension settings without a second thought. But in addition to changing ground clearance, changing your suspension settings also affects cornering clearance, shock compression, wheel travel, and suspension geometry—all of which usually translates to changed handling.
    and the question remains why do i race?
    every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

      Setting suspension to hardest might decrease the height but certainly it wont increase it. Setting it to hardest means you are compressing the spring more so the height will reduce a bit. But as said by some one this is not suitable for city rides , this is ideal for a track day.

          Riding condition - 60% city, rest highways. Speed between 60-70 in highway and 45-55 in city.

          Method used is reserve to reserve.

          I'm getting around 48 kmpl with 80% city riding & 20% h/w...(keeping the speeds b/w 40-60)
          Also,I asked the svc guy regarding the possibility to increase the height of the rear end by changing the rear suspension setting to hardest (as I thought it would give me a bump of 1 cm) but he said it won't increase the height at all but it will compress the spring & my back will hurt...
          48kmpl, with 80% city riding is nice bro.

            rightly said - recycled oil is rampantly used by work shops to make money. when buying oil, always check seal is intact and date of manufacture - I have come across advice from Castrol to follow this as fake packaging is a constant threat

                The reason has to be that a mechanic in the service centre gets only 15 minutes to service a bike viz. his quota per hour 4 bikes. So you can guess what attention the bike gets in those 15 minutes - i have come across cases where the mechanic forgot to replace the drained out engine oil, resulting in engine seizure

                    brother you got it totally wrong.... hardest setting will result in height increase and softest setting will reduce it.....
                    @nilesh: that duck part was hilarious... then i have an even more hilarious story... The day i went to test ride, a guy came naked(well almost...only half pant and a towel on his shoulder) to check out another naked(the 200ns) and asked me where the cylinder of the bike is... I thought maybe he meant silencer, so showed him the exhaust... Then he said ki no show me the cylinder, thats the silencer to... So i yelled, what do you mean by cylinder? What cylinder? Which cylinder? He replied he is searching for the NITRO CYLINDER(sylinder maybe) now he was yelling at me that this bike has a nitro system fittted on it and so its called the pulsar 200NS... I was like WTF...and ran away NS= NITRO CYLINDER....nay..sylinder maybe... now beat that...hahaha...

                              • Engine:Ride:Tires & Brakes:
                                Ummmm... Tires look good but I definitely got 'dhoka' on dry roads at 35 and 50 kmph on two different occasions respectively. I was not fish tailing or anything and it wasnt even hard braking either but the large tire did make a bit of noise while skidding like that. Somehow even with that, I feel quite confident because I have now learnt to use the front brakes as well. Using front brakes are like committing sins and you would not disagree with me if you have tried that in a Chetak.
                                Brakes are fine as far as I am concerned.. They do their work.. I am sure they would have done their work better with these tires if they had a little assistance from ABS.

                                Fuel Efficiency:
                                The dealer guy said there is half a litre of fuel in the tank and on top of which I put in 5 more litres.. Mathematically speaking I must be having 5.5 litres. Considering some 2.5 litres of reserve, I have 3 litres in hand to play with.. When I was taking my delivery, it carried a not so nice 19.3 kms and right now I am clocking 160.8 kms. Thats like some 140 kms with fuel to spare from those 3 litres I was talking about. That says an FE of 46.66 kmpl and climbing. In Chennai?? Only city riding.. Really.???
