    Changed the front tyre to FY1 and Masseter for rear. Done only 10 kms but there is noticeable difference in grip levels.

    Sitting posture is more aggressive, but the handling is far predictable than stock Remora tyres.

            Seems that your bike also loves "A walk in the park"

                That windshield should be tinted red to mesh with the bike, me thinks - ALI.R bhai.

                  Would probably hamper visibility while leaning against cross wind on a windy highway day, IMHO.

                    Completed 5th servicing yesterday. Problems Neutral light comes on in 1st gear and number plate stand has become loose and vibrating. Gear problem was there from starting and in every servicing they just adjusted the gear lever and the problem use to disappear only on reoccur after some days. I kept telling them to change the sensor but they didn't. Now they are ready to change the sensor but will take another week to get the part so will change it next Sunday. Also i saw the RTR Visor for the RTR 200. It looks good. Will be installing the same on Sunday too. Will post the pics once it is installed.
                    Now back to Servicing. Parts changed under 5th service or 12000kms are
                    1. Both the brake pads
                    2. Air Filter

                    They did some De-carbonisation before pouring new oil. Nothing major problem in the bike. Servicing was normal.

                      Reset my top speed recorder twice today. Long pressing the Set button did that. Should it be possible?

                        Why brake pads changed so early and what are the costs of brake pads?

                            My reasoning too behind not tinting it.

                              Bhai I agree it would blend in better, but at the cost of visibility. Also, I plan to put an action camera mount behind it, so a clear view would be required.

                                5th servicing its there to check or replace the brake pads. I think there was still little life left in the previous brake pads but service centers will always try to change it saying it's not good. Same for air filter too. But ok they are not expensive. Each side was 275 so that's reasonable.
