A small ride report
@Chintan99 - Ya man, after a long time. Good to know that you will be regular now.
Me superb with my DESTINY (my bike's name
). Not a frustrated guy any more
Observation on a 5 hour trip in congested traffic -
After 3 days of continuous rain, it was clear yesterday and Last night had a long 5 hours ride along with @toxicbiker. Sure there are lots of Positives.. However faced few Negatives as well.. Some of my observations [Mostly the negative points] -
1) The bike gets heated in the bumper to bumper traffic, and can feel the heat especially on the left leg. (however, checked last night that the Radiator Fan is working
)
2) FALSE NEUTRALS while shifting from 2nd to 1st gear -it's a big time disappointment. It was there in my P150, but I think it's more in the NS. and it's embarrassing when the Cars behind starts honking
3) Bike is superbly balance, and I can ride at even 2kmph without mt feet down. But, in case of sudden stopping (like the false neutrals), the weight shows.
4) Riding Posture - i know 99% on NSians will totally differ with me in this, and I accept it's totally my personal way of seating. Actually I can't ride with my arms bent. So to keep it straight, I totally shift to the end part of the front seat. Now for that I have to lean forward, and that put's pressure on my wrist, and it was paining a lot after that long ride.
However, for few minutes I exchanged my ride along with @toxicbiker's Fazer, and it just felt Ultra-Comfortable.
5) Very Bad LOW-END Torque - I had to shift to the 1st gear too many times, and whenever the speed fell below 6-7kmph
6) the Float/Snatchy behaviour at 2k - 3k RPM. It always gives you the Horror feeling that there is no fuel left in the tank.
7) the instrument cluster, and the pilot lamp going off with the engine kill switch, is also quite irritating, as again before starting you have to wait for the RPM needle to show it's flexibility. I just don't get - "For what purpose is the ENGINE KILL switch given?? that same could be done by turning the ignition key"
I didn't discuss the Positives Coz, a) there are too many, and b) those have been discussed quite a lot.
PS -All my above observations are compared to my Earlier P150. After the ride I adjusted the AFR to a bit more on the richer side. It is again raining today. So yet to check out the result.
