      I use my RC390 for daily commute and also did a 3000 km ride in 5 days. Seats are not that bad and also i don't have much flesh there.
      i tried using my friend's Ride on air (Ride-on-Air | Automotive Seats Reimagined) air cushion for 200kms. The result was incredible and highly recommend it if you are planning for long rides. It increases the riding position height by 1 inch.

          A DIY would be great or at least list of raw materials used would be great too.

              A DIY would be great. Even if we can't make it ourselves, explaining to the fabricator would be easy.

                Yes i have seen a video of Ride on Air. Although never sat or rode on one, its too expensive i feel.

                  Made this using rust proof aluminium and proper tooling. Will be powder coating this one black.

                  It would be great if you can provide some measurements(in millimetres) of that custom tidy.

                    I used to add System 23 (Petroleum Detergent) along with normal petrol in my previous ride Fazer to keep the fuel lines and carb clean. Is it harmful to do the same in FI bikes? Anything to keep the system clean? Or particularly to solve this common issue as shown in the link below.

                      I use iftex system g or adon p regualrly. Yes, they make a huge difference. If your bike is new you wont feel it. I used this after 1.5k kms on my bike and the difference was instantly noticeable. Never heard of system 23.

                        Ok question, how many of you guys have faced issues with the front master cylinder. This has been my second issue in less than 4 months. I am asking them to replace it under warranty but I just want to check if this is something that happens only occasionally or if it is a regular occurrence

                          System 23 is same as System G. It is manufactured by Iftex. Is it safe for FI? A good difference can be felt after mixing it with petrol.

                            Yes system g is designed for fi. Use g, ive never heard of 23 and dont know whether its safe for fi or not.

                              Somebody has already done it. There is a video somewhere on YouTube I think.
