        Around 200 when ridden in the range of 5.5 to 7k rpm with progressive throttle. Need to check that how much drop comes with higher rpms and faster throttle actions. BTW I am taking her upto 150kmph occasionally.

        How do you compare 2016 with 2015 model. Any specific refinement or added parts? What about fairing vibrations? Do you have these at lower gears and lower rpms?

          The mechanic is quite skilled and i have no issues with his work, forks, triple tree, mirrors, visor, projector housing, cone set were changed,

          Luckily the wheel rim was no bent and with a normal wheel throwing it was back to normal.

          I service my bike at Hitec Ktm SVC in madhapur.
          It could be the wheel rim causing the issue.
          you said the chassis was damaged, but i don't see it mentioned in your replaced parts.
          can't comment without riding the bike. maybe you can have Hitler aka [MENTION=70615]Ajay Vishwanath[/MENTION] ride your bike at motovation and compare/discuss.

            I think the seat is upgraded and felt softer. The vibrations are still there. The clutch, being slipper one, is extremely light.

                    And I'm here, getting about 150Kms in Bangalore traffic before the Low Fuel Level warning comes on.

                    My bike came with Phoenix but I replaced it with a Philips Diamond Vision 5000K just to match the color of the Beam with that of the pilot lamps. Still not a perfect match but very close.

                      Good. How much you paid ? is it direct fit?
                      Can you post some light throw pics @ night?
                      TIA.

                        I'm getting ~140 kms too.. Is it too low?
                        I ride calmly shifting at 5-6k rpm with progressive throttle but always in traffic.. So what might be reason for this?

                            Well it isn't low if u compare it to mine

                            Usual get 98
                            Last time got 90
                            Mostly city rides with lots n lots of traffic and constant braking and clutching

                            Just the first service done till now, going to get the second one done tomorrow

                            Last week went on a tour of around 86 kms and just a single bar dropped when I reached

                              My odo reading is around 500 and i can say this confidently that you can not trust the fuel bars. I have seen two bars drop at a time. My trip meter for current tankful reads 90kms and only single bar has dropped so far. In last two tank fills, it ran for about 175 before hitting the reserve.

                                I ride D390, but the tank range I get is about 180-200 kms in heavy Bangalore traffic. 5-6k RPM shifts
