A quick update from my side...
Done 550 kms, NO issues whatsoever. Bike is getting smoother & smoother with each passing kilometer.
Out of this 550kms, ~200 are on open highways...

For now, upto 85kmph comes quick without you doing anything much. 100 comes only when you want it to.
Looks like its because the machine is rev-locked... but when in 6th, I see the rev. increasing beyond 8k, even though very slowly and NO red-light comes when in 6th.

Sounds normal?

And yes, I loooove the note when you are cruising in 6th .

Just to add fuel figures:

1st tank-up gave me about 29.4kmpl
2nd tank-up, as of now (haven't hit reserve yet), 30.6kmpl

The 6th gear cannot be redlined. It is designed to have no rev limit at all. The red light not lighting up in 6th is normal.

Cool!
So then, does that mean the rev-limit that has been set upto the 1st service doesn't matter when you are in 6th?

If so, for me ... I noticed, its not as quick in reaching 3 figures as it is while reaching 85-90kmph.
Is that how it is?

Mileage is anyway beyond what I had expected, so from here on, whatever increase happens...its a win-win!

I found it very quick man not sure if you rev it high in low gears you touch 3 digits in no time.

I do occasional bursts

I do rev it in low gears, but not much .... may be 7k or max 8k.... !

How much do you take it to? How much have you maxed the bike as of now? I have been to 118kmph and I must say..it remains very very planted.

Did take it to 112 and the reason i reached it because the light did not come up. I usually look for that red flash so slow down or shift

did you clean the chain after 500 KM..

need to check on that 40 odd KM left for 500 KM

I did not check the mileage the MID in morning times show 30 to 35 in evening in trafic it show 36 to 40.

Why you need to top up coolant ?? is the level down.
