    Yes exactly, I think we should encourage every NS rider not to remove RMVs from their bikes. How can one get to know the situation of the rear traffic without RMV. For instance if you are changing your lane, without RMVs how would you look back(not every time will a rider turn his head around). I see tons of people at road without RMVs & they way they change lanes is just awesome..no cares what so ever of the car or bike in back. Please guys get your RMVs back on

        I don't know the figure...cuz first of all we need a Dyno for that...& an NS with KT 1211 filter fitted on it...
        but provided that I have the money to buy it , I'd definitely do so...its totally worth the roar & the breathable feeling of the bike...

        A lot of people have said this...but the Air filter on the NS is located under the tank cover, which , I suppose , kinda protects the air filter from the dusty Indian conditions to some extent...also if we assume that the stock OEM paper air filter provides 100 % filtration then a K&N is not far behind with 97.5% filtration ( I read this somewhere...not sure where though )...maybe the people who face problems due to K&N air -filters are actually having problems with improper fitting of the filter...

          Brother, please use multi quote option... saves a lot of space... If you dont know how to do it... please google it....



          Let the rains come... you would have no option but to fit it back....





          Removing RVMs is not a wise thing in my opinion.... atleast when you are riding in the highway or in city (well I mean riding anywhere ) ...
          I have absolutely no plans to fit it back no matter what.... Why should I worry if it sprinkles the rider behind me!!

            well buddfy u will surely change your mind once to riode in rains... forget your pillion....think of your console getting dirty... wana know how? coz water and mud will come from behind you over your head and land on your console... so naturally, you can imagine what will happen to the rider's back and helmet.... even i dont have my hugger installed and learnt my lesson... so whenever it rains, i make it a point to fit it... you simply cant run the bike without hugger in rains....

            you will need the centre groove in sand and water... in water it will channel out the water from beneath and in sand it will work as a groove to sit in the sand... without centre groove, it will just float over the sand with zero traction... a good option for ns front tyre replacement is the front stock tyre from pulsar 220/180.. zapper fs 90/90 - 17... it is arguably one of the best front tyre available in the country today... holds damn good in offroads. sand and water and is quite grippy...

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?
            well 90 kmph comes at exactly 6k rpm, and 100kmph comes at ditto 6.7k rpm...

              And what about the people on road that are driving on their own bikes behind you. Forget about being a good driver, try and be a good human being atleast. When the same thing would happen to you from someones else`s bike, people like you start cursing them without even realizing you have been doing the same for years. Am sure you would enjoy sprinkling water over a guy who is 40+ going to his office.

              Guys like you , deserv only and only a bikecycle. The good news, it doesn`t need a mud guard so you can take it of .

              • Here is chronic problem my ns has been facing for the past 4000km. Whenever it is going on the potholes there is tak tak sound as if some part has become somewhat loose. the coneset/racer is fine, the forks seem to be fine, the chain sprocket set is as it was when new. the ASC guys also cannot locate the problem source. If someone faced the same problem and got it solved, please post it. the sound gets irritating some times.

                It is not present on flat roads but is present on even slightly uneven surfaces.

                  Did you find what was causing the sound. I am facing the same issue.

                          Well in the end it's your personal decision what you want to do with your bike. I would again recommend to think again during the rainy season. Lastly I hope you are not from Bangalore cuz I have seen people banging bikers with back parts like that . Happy riding

                              I had the same issue and got it sorted. Ask the SVC guys to see if front fork rubber is missing. It costs Rs.25.

                                This is not a big deal! Though it looks awesome with out it but please try to put it back showing some courtesy to riders like us who will unfortunately ride some day behind you !! So that we can too ride properly without getting colored with clay or mud !! - a request bro!!

                                And even it will color you too from back
