    We can adjust it, but how come it went so high
    Did you check idle before riding

      Thanks for the Approval.

      Got the New Hornet SP edition(Stricking Green) yesterday Evening after reading for about ~250 pages of reviews here.

      completed 70Kms on ODO and so far it has been very Good except that the Suspension is very Hard. Is it normal?.

      Here are some Images.

      i havve compared Mars Orange and Striking Green. Green Looked Much Better.

        Yes, suspension is hard in beginning. If possible ride with pillion for few 100s of km , then it'll smooth out earlier
        Else it'll take 3000-4000 km
        Ride hard, Ride safe! :D

              Service guys do it for their testing so that engine will not get shutdown on idle.
              I adjust it at few days of interval depending on weather.

                                Hi congrats... Sriking green is an good option.. from which dealership you bought from?

                                Even I faced the suspension issue, later it got rectified in first service (Not an issue to worry if there is not so much sound coming from that)
                                Happy Riding, Dont exceed 4000 RPM untill first Service.
                                Drive Safe
