    a couple of question to the guys with the 6n..
    1. When you turn the key to on and the electric check is performed; what kind of sound do you get? is there some sort of vibration noise right at the end? Can someone attach a video of this sound?
    2. What lever setting have you kept the the clutch at? I keep fluctuating between 1 and 4 .. 1 when I want to use 2 fingers when i know i can reach good speeds and 4 in traffic .. 1 is pretty hard on the fingers though
    3. Do you guys have any trouble with jerks during gear transition? Im still getting used to the gear transitions and was wondering if anyone was able to master it.. Still not used the the power ! the bike seems throttle happy

    Congrats buddy on your purchase. Regarding the gear change, I too had trouble for couple of months on my 300 adjusting to the gear change. The thing is 300 likes to be shifted in a particular way, and if you commute a lot in bumper to bumper traffic, your physical well being also affects your shifting.

    I started light workout, and shifting is fine until I take a gap of more than a week, where I have to re-learn again.

    one thing that is a tad bit difficult to adjust to is the weight ! coming from a Duke 200 and some recent medical issues the weight is something that I really am struggling with currently
    Haha..Congrats anyways..wish you happy kms to come. DO post your ownership review.

    Putting number on visor is better than fender. Firstly number on fender is not visible, that's as good as not putting it.

    Guess you must consider yourself lucky for that. My friend was stopped by a cop whist riding a FZ who had his number written on the front fender and was demanded money for not obeying the rules. May be cops at your end are lenient enough.

    That is what was the purpose of the last line in my post!
    You can get fined anyday for the same.

    Guess what, I had front number plates for 4 years. Now, the number plate holder broke, which needs the headlamp to be changed (ZMR has weird design issues) since the clamps are on it.
    I simply put a sticker on the visor.
