    ~1500 INR (I bought one for Single seat conversion)

    Yes stock cushion sucks and many have opted to this but according to me I think you were charged exorbitantly for this , here in Kolkata it would have cost you Rs 500 max

    coping the query from gixxer sf thead just so that more people can see
    This query is about break in. i have bot the gixxer sf fi ABS variant last month and completed first 800 km with 4500 rpm limit and also first service done. in this 800 km i tried to vary the rpm and reach 4500 rpm then change gear or some time reach 4500 rpm and release throttle so i slow down to may be 3000 rpm and accelerate again this i was doing as the traffic permits. i tried acceleration and deceleration in each gear.
    now my question is for next 800 km, should i try to accelerate to 7500 rpm and then change gear? because i can try that in 1-2-3 gears but it will be hard to do it in 4th and 5th gears as i mostly drive in city i might not see a stretch or safe to do that, will that effect the bike in any way or is it just fine to vary rpm and stay in limit is ok, say i might not even touch 7500 rpm at all is fine?
    IT will be fine but take some time and do midnight runs on empty stretch of roads.

    I would recommend 3M flush for 2 wheelers, tried both and found 3M better, though yes 3M is pricier per ml compared to Liqui Moly.

    I'm aware but the prices in there are Ex-Showroom. Which is why I asked for exact OTR prices to compare it with the ones here. Also, one of my brother's Colleagues has decided to co-own an upcoming Suzuki Showroom here in Cuttack. This means that I get to buy my next future vehicle at a nominal price.

    Its difficult to make out what you are exactly trying to say but its definitely not an Engine Lugging problem. But if your engine is bogging even with little throttle then you might be having fueling issues, or your rear wheel axle might not be spinning freely.

    So, your drive chain has nothing to do with engine lugging. Although on a general note, you should check the chain slack yourself. Your owner's manual states the slack range.
