                  I am riding daily around 50kms continously in heavy traffic but never faced "overheating" issue. My odo is 675kms. Though I feel heat on legs but that doesn't cause any drop in performance.

                            If you are feeling more heat, try out by adjusting tappet/valve in cold engine. Engine will produce more heat in over tight tappet. May be SC mechanic tighten your tappet without using feeler gauge.

                              i suggest using front exclusively henceforth. use rear along with front if you wish to bring bike to a complete halt.

                              and no you wont do stoppie all that easily. its a misconception. rear brake wont stop you from 40 kmph let alone 80-100 kmph.

                              10. The last but not the least it is not a sports / tourier byk do not treat this as Duke or Dominar. It's very powerful yet nimble byk for day to day commuting. With 40+ milege. The torque is well distributed among all gears. Easily it achieves 140 kmph speed.

                              Suggestions plz
                              this last point is a bit controversial. if its neither what it actually is?

                              about its touring potential i wont even discuss. currently on tour on my r15. pretty sure fz will do it as well.

                              about not being a sport bike, might i ask what are bike's limitations?

                              if you dont have a precise answer then i wont discuss any further.

                              i personally took a test ride, couldnt take it to its limits. it was willing to lean more and take corners even faster. there was some chicken strips left as well. pretty sure bike will satify as a sports bike most of riders on our roads.

                                I have faced similar problem in past on Karizma. Front disc brakes are good. But I think that if bike is leaned or may be if handle is not straight while applying front brakes (with force that they lock the front wheel), it may result to skidding of front tyre on roads with gravel. Also next time keep just 1 finger on front brake lever while riding so that in panic braking, force from one finger will not put too much pressure on front brakes resulting in wheel locking.

                                Correct me fellow riders if I said sth wrong.
