        From Activa to 390, you are to get used to many more things [emoji12]

        Keep aside the vibes, there is truckload of power and torque to handle [emoji13]
        Gearless to geared.
        Pin precision handling.
        10 times better brakes

        Will need some time for full adaptation [emoji106]

          Radiator is working but i have to give it at svc, really frustrated of this issue.
          Man, keep the engine on even at signals.
          If bike is hot and you switch off the engine, definitely you will get high coolant warnings if you start after 1-2 minutes.

            Yeah, that's what I hate about non-timed signals. I never know when I'm going to be burning my fuel off or the engine (for those quick 40 second signals which I think would be longer and turn off, but soon after that the signal shows green ).

              Bike shuts off even we have kept engine on and in my case bike did started and ran about 50 meters and then it got stalled.

                  Any aftermarket exhaust will be louder than stock ones. Personally I like stock exhaust because there's no point in changing exhaust only there will be slight increase in power ( provided you have put piggy back ecu and aftermarket air filter) and its exhaust note will only get little bassier but nothing like twin or inline 4 engine.

                    I had a gpr exhaust for a while. It's very loud. My brother wanted it. So we bougt and fixed it. Now i have removed it to claim warranty. But i must say the low end drivability was better with the exhaust...

                      Plus it depends on the rto of your region. Some are very strict.

                          Amaron got only 9 AH, which is taller and slimmer than stock Exide. Exide got a new red colored model, same size as stock, which comes with 4 years (2+2) warranty, Exide Xplore XLTZ9.

                            Yes that's my point you can get your exhaust note louder but it will not be anything like twin or inline 4 engine exhaust note, regarding warranty it mainly depends how is your rapport with svc guys.

                              Will it be too loud with the db killer? You had the db killer on your gpr exhaust or not? I don't want to scare my office compound.
