May be more than semi pro

Let's just keep it to semi-pro

I too haven't faced any such problem, infact I was facing a rattling noise around instrumental cluster, I didn't gave it a damn(lazy me) and to my amazement that stupid noise automatically disappeared later, NO problems, this bike is more then 94000 can buy.

Hey Shibadip, to skip on the RPM meter lag turn the engine kill switch to OFF position right after killing the Engine, it would turn on the instrument cluster without the RPM needle movement.

^^ Thanks. Will keep that in mind.

As far as I know installing a horn or any electrical instrument on the NS will void the warranty of the complete electrical assembly i.e the wiring , bulbs, console,lights ,etc.So you might not be able to claim warranty if anything goes wrong with any electrical component later on...

The issue with the rear tyre is that it locks up very easily...especially in wet conditions...& kinda 'floats' on gravel...
You can go for MRF Revz-S 130/70-17 || Price should be around 2.5-3k INR Rahulbarik has got one already...I've attatched a pic of his Revz-S...
Or you can go for Dunop Tuff Grip 140/70-17 || Price should be around 2.5k-3.2k INR
or else PSD is the best a man can get ...it would be expensive though...
But my advice for you will be to ride with the Eurogrips & if you feel any lack of traction then only you should go for the tyre upgrade.
Also , the less you use the tyres the better will be the price you can get in exchange of them....

Agree...today while I was on my way to college ,I almost met with an accident...cuz the rear wheel locked up due to wet conditions...
A noob " I don't wear no riding gear guy" broke the traffic signal & stopped right in front of me...& the rear wheel locked up in no time & I fishtailed my ride a little so as to avoid a head-on impact with his 100cc bike or else he might had to take home a "50cc here + 50cc there" bike
However , the bikes did collide though no scratches on my NS whatsoever...maybe my leg absorbed a part of the impact but luckily I didn't got hurt

I'd also like to share one more story with you guys that happened today evening while I was on my way to gym...I was riding in my own pace when a fellow CBR 250R guy came by my side & asked me regarding the mud splashes on the NS (as I have removed my ride's Mud-guard)...also when I discovered that he has the K&N stock replacement air-filter on his 250R I told him about my concerns regarding K&N filters damaging the engine & he said that only the conical one damages the engine & not the stock replacement one....also I checked the spark plug of my friend's P 220 (carbed) to see whether he is riding lean or not & it turned out that the AFR was perfect...the spark plug's head was a desirable brown colour...depicting that the AFR was appropriate...
This has put me into dilemma again whether to opt for K&N (stock replacement one) or not...

Am going to give my ns for first service today. As somebody mentioned, I also am getting a low rattling sound near the headlight something like some plastic cover in the wind.

The tyres are not that bad in dry weather but in wet they tend to skid a little, may be because they are new or because of the tyre pressure.

An idiot in a BMW hit the mudguard/flap at a signal yesterday (he would have flew over me if his car could fly I think) an it seems to be a little bit bent. Anyway going to remove it today.

The coolant level stays near min, need to have it topped up.

I don't think, the engine oil is good quality, the engine sounds harsh, though there are no other problems with idling, acceleration or anything, but can anyone suggest me a better oil, please.

After 700km, I have only one serious complaint. No one seems to take it seriously when I blow the horn. A mopeds horn sounds better. It is sad that they wont let us change it.

Here's the next set of pics...
I guess these should be it for now...
if anyone missed the last set of pics, here you go - http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/869768-post6252.html


















He's smiling.......so guess she said yes

^^ cool.. very passionate


Although my DESTINY is with me, I'm yet to make an official proposal like that.

NO havent changed the oil yet ,will do at the first service ,I have checked three more NS's of my friends and none of them have this problem .

And one more thing I have noticed is after intiall hike in yellow bumble bees i feel now equal number of people are going for Red

good morning folks...

I have been a watcher of this thread since a couple of days. Read more positives than negatives. Yet, someone please help me by telling me if there are proper fixes found for repeatedly reported problems like that of oil sensor, electrical issues, and tuning issues.
I guess this needs to be known before the bike is bought.

Thanks.

Can you tell me what and precautions have you followed until now?
Just summarize it for me na

When I took the delivery of the bike I was prepared to face the common niggles like the oil sensor ,idling issues ,engine getting harsh ,screaching nosie from discs etc but till now I havent faced any of them and neither have my frens ,this might because bengaluru got the bikes pretty late and the common issues might have rectified .

And regarding the care nothing much just the usual keeping the RPM under 4k with occasional 5k for few seconds ,idling it for some time before riding and also i try to ride in all gears as much as possible .

I read somewhere that the issue of "leakage due to FS oil" is not an issue at all. The FS oils like 7100, 300V have esters in them, esters have superior detergent properties and they tend to wash away the unburnt slurry like hydrocarbon that are deposited in the every slot, corner of engine. Sometimes with an old engine, due to this unburnt HC compounds engine gaskets, joints etc get damaged, but due to deposition of slurry like stuff the gaps are filled and hold up any possible leakage. When FS oil with esters is used in such engines, they just wash away the slurry stuff which is what they suppose to do and in this process open up the already made leaks. This is what makes it look like FS oil cause oil leakage in some engines. Its not the oil that is the culprit, in fact it brings an actual problem in light which was already present which i think is a good thing. I don't think any modern Indian bike like NS should be facing this issue as the engine technology has improved a lot.

ROFL....ha ha ha...they say "Having incomplete knowledge is more dangerous that having no knowledge at all.." this is quintessential example of this...

Can't help but to ignore the ignorance of this "Pro-biker"...

+1 to that.

Well if you have the moolah then go them otherwise if you are not a cornering/speed freak then i suggest stick with the Eurogrips they are not that bad at the end of the day for day-to-day commute. And better save that money to buy some quality cleaning/washing products for your bike / rim tapes and maybe that LED pilot lamps. These things will prove as a better investment IMO. Just my 2 cents.
