    Yep, the speed limits mentioned are crap for this bike. And btw, 80, 90 even 100 km/h for maybe a few seconds during run-in wouldn't harm anything don't worry make it a point not to redline. I used to top myself at ~90km/h after 1st service when I'd get the chance. That's like ~6.5k rpm in 6th gear which would have in no way harmed the engine. How many kms have you completed?

        I dont know if anybody has answered this or not.. but the Compression ration is 11:1 (as mentioned in the manual)

        And to be honest, I dont trust "premium" pertol unless it is from Shell....

        I use any kind of petrol from any petrol pump.... I dont pamper my bike with sanitized drinks because when I m touring these sanitized drinks are rarely available...

        Its not that Number of posts that matters, its the number of Kilometers that does and how you do those kms that matters....

But opening the throttle at times is needed to condition the bike with the full rev range. So for the first 600-700kms keep the revs within 4k, shift below 4 and rev till 4k if you wish, then slowly increase to 5k and short speed bursts at times will do good. The bike will open up better post 2nd service(by second service i mean by 3k on the odo) , then you can ride normally.

            I second that. Don't pamper it...rather teach it.

                Oil being mixed in small amounts is not a problem. Nothing to worry.

                  Yes Before I used to face the following issues:
                  1. Engine used to get heated up very easily, a ride in traffic for 10 mins was enough for it start blowing out hot waves . You could easily start feeling the heat.
                  2. RPM used to shoot up to 2.4 k & then stay there for few seconds resulting in grrrrr sound n vibes from bike.
                  3. The bike never felt smooth but I thought may be NS was like that cuz my test ride vehicle was even more horrible. It was after the tuning I realized the actual smoothness of the engine .

                  That's it

                  After tuning:
                  None of the above
                  Being best is not about beating everyone. It's about how much you learn from others and make yourself even better

                    The issues u were facing are a sign of lean mixture and the SVC tuned the ride a bit richer than the current tune and now that mixture is more near the perfect ratio and a bit towards richer side all issues have vanished..

                      Well I had asked the mechanic about it, he said it was due to mixture being rich. But then how come after tuning the feel is average under 4k rpm whereas earlier it was very responsive. Damn, from that time I thought I was running on Lean Do you mind listing out how a bike would behave on lean & on rich so that once in for all I understand it & stop giving wrong info to others . Like for eg, effects on cold start, pick-up, mileage, etc .

                        Well specifically speaking for NS..rich mixture does give better low end but a not so good top end...and a lean mixture gives an OK OK low end and a very good top end

                        from my general Knowledge lean mixture causes over heating...cold start problem...little under powered...and gives more mileage.

                        rich mixture is better considering its not too rich otherwise u end up with black exhaust gasses and poor pick up...

                        lean mixture gives a bad cold start and so u have to use choke which essentially chokes the engine..that is floods it with petrol so u get a rich mixture and the bike starts....but a rich mixture will cold start better than lean....search the internet and xbhp..there is information everywhere...

                        Heres a good link to clear up the doubt

                        Just a moment...

                          It's always better to run a little rich, so I've heard

                            well I didn't know that over heating is caused due to Lean mixture. Other things what you have mentioned matches with my little knowledge . Thank you for the link btw

                                Buddy... i am just sharing MY EXPERIENCE! i don't care about the Octane value... I found it better from ordinary unleaded petrol... no offense. Hope it would help you
