The engine warranty will not be void if you use any brand oil with the same grade be it mineral, ss or fs.

There is a statement in the manual itself stating that, the engine oil change interval with dtsi oil is 10000km and with other brand oils it is 5000km. Check it.

Fairing meant, those plastic things above meter console. Around headlight, they are mentioning I think.

No Buddy.. There is vibrations, and bad Amount of vibrations, at 8K, an especially on the handle. Worrying thing for me is, the vibes comes all of a Sudden, coz, pre 8K mark, there is none..!!!
I will try it again with a solo ride, Maybe today or tomorrow.

Maithon is Close to where my Dad stays.. But I guess a similar trip is being planned by @Toxicbiker. Do check Out with him.


@Krish - As JK mentioned, the fairing means, the Plastic panels around the headlight area..

@Myth - Since after the 1st oil change, the next interval is at 10k, so between that, you can easily change the oil to ur preference. I for one, will be changing it at 2K mark.

3rd day of my bike

it gets better and better...

i initially didnt like the turn indicators but today discovered there is a push button which cancels the indicator when pushed....nice feature

i finally found where the choke is...
there is a problem with it(or may be not but heres the issue)

i guess pushing the level in is choke off and pulling it out is ON

so with pulling out the level the bike doesnt start(strange bike not starting in choke)

but with the level pushed in the bike starts in 1 push of the start button...(also strange because it ddint start in choke but started without choke)

now i tried to start pulling out the choke lever and twisted the throttle...the bike started and then shut off as i left the throttle

now i started the bike pushing in the choke level and it started just fine

what can be the issue?

next after riding for 2-3 mins i parked on the side and with the engine on i pulled out the choke lever and the rpm shot to above 5-6k(still increasing) and i got scared i immediately pushed it back...

next part of he issue is the idling is abount 1.3-1.4K when cold...after the engine gets hot..the idling is at about 1.6K

shud i reduce the idle? if i do will it have problems for me in starting?

i dont know which screw is the idle screw but i'll have to look up in the pages of this thread for that picture..
infact looking at other bikes i see almost everyting in the NS is hidden inside..the choke,the carb...
i guess i dont want to mess with the A/F screw just yet

Replies in BOLD.

no man...it will void the warranty coz they wont tick the engine oil part and put a cross over there and then you are fired...dhiskyaon... (just kidding) and in the manual its written engine oil replace at 10k and topup at 5k... @shibadip: its happening coz you ride in low rpm.... Start ripping it slowly....let it vibrate...it will get smooth after you exploit that rpm range frequently.... Maybe u'll get tappet noise but trust me, engine will be smooth as usual... And i knw about souvik's plan...maybe he will stay there at night while me, sayank and some others will return.... @santo: go to any local mechanic and he will disconnect the speedo. Simple...

@Shibadip - As Rahul said...(i won't use the word "rip") rather start throttling your bike. The day we rode back together, the speed with which you were riding if thats your your general speed then you should definitely open the throttle.
The vibrations can also be because the bike isn't habituated to high rpms and thus causes vibrations in the engine. They will iron out once you start using the throttle a bit more.

how can it be lean AFR if the bike starts in one push of the starter button without choke and doesnt start with the choke and even if it starts with choke it dies down....(yes i am 100% sure the choke being ON the engine died but without choke engine didnt die)

and u said let the bike idle with choke for 15-20secs but with the choke the RPM shot upto 6k and was increasing...is it safe? for running in such high engine speeds(following the conventional method) is not advisable right?

and if it is lean AFR shud i go to the ASC to make it richer? i am facing no problems at all while riding

the manual mentioned idling as 1.35-1.45K but that is my cold idle and hot idle is 1.6K rpm

Well my bike does start with the choke on and doesn't die. Further my engine idles at 1.1k when cool and at 1.4k when hot and never dies out. With the choke on it idles at around 4k. I don't think there is a problem with the afr, rather get your idle settings checked.

And guys who want to mess with their afr screw...!



the speedo cable is left side of the headlight set...
If you unscrew the left side headlight screw a bit... u will see a white clip connector... disconnect it and you are then free to go!!

AND GUYS WHO WANT TO MESS WITH THEIR AFR SCREW...!

please dont! do it!!

you will either end up with ruined settings like i did..or lagg in your acceleration!
some times your NS will stop randomly and stop at release of clutch at first gear..
take it to trained service men and do it with all the equipments needed..

@Rahul and @Myth - Thanks guys for clarifying this stuff. Now quite tension-free.
My DESTINY has already seen 7K range a few times earlier. But I restricted the throttle input to that range. Now that she has crossed 500Kms, i will be taking her to higher range. I tried it today morning as well, and saw that the vibrations are there, but less than what was felt on Dussera.. Might be because I had a very heavy pillion with me on that Day

Will be doing a highway trip right after the exams. Will then adequately check all the power that NS has

@Myth - That day I thought, you were riding slow because of ur new bike, and thus, i had to pace likewise. I don't rip my bike, but at the same time I don't ride that slow.
Guess it was a misunderstanding by both of us. next time will have a fun ride.

+1 Don't mess up with AFR settings.

Gear Lever Nut fell down admist my night ride. Standed me for a well 30mins till I found out the fallen screw and somehow bolted it back without using LnKey.

NS getting a much needed good wash at MP after a night ride through not-so-good roads shared with truckers.

My gear shifter has too much of play...is there any way of adjusting it?

Is the bolt tight? Mine too had too much of play until the bolt itself fell down and I discovered if the bolt is loose then there will be too much play. If the bolt is tight, then check for the rubber gasket like thing at the bolt.

7-15% play is acceptable I guess.
