    Happy riding everyone..
    Sorry mate but why 6500 rpm, the manual says 7500 rpm for the first 1000 Kms, am I missing something here

      Hey guys I am trying to turn off the DRL in the settings, the display shows OFF but the lights are still on.

        Correct me if i am wrong but I think the DRL setting will work post 1000 kms or with the next software update that reminds me I believe it is v39 which is the latest now.. That's what I have on bike which I picked up 3 days ago..
        Ride HARD but Ride SAFE
        Cheers !!

          If you are referring to the headlight being on then yes, even if you turn off DRL, the headlights will be on.I think this has been made as mandatory from 2017 onwards.

            I have the V39, and I thought that the 1000km restriction was only for the Shift lights.

                If you have DRL=ON, the middle section will light up. If you have DRL=OFF, by default Low Beam will switch on. There's no way you can shut off the lights completely.

                  Okay. Got it. Thanks.

                  Got confused about the AHO mode behaviour.

                    Finally got to test ride the 390 & 250 today. My opinion: 390 is definitely not a bike to be used in the city by any chance. I mean bumper to bumper. If ones usage is 65% + city use then my suggestion would be dont even consider the 390

                      250 is a superb machine for city use but it is way too highly priced in comparison to fz250 even considering the difference in power & other stuff. Just wanted to share my opinion as i have been considering these 2 since a few months.

                        well then everybody should be riding a 100cc motorcycle . probably takes same time for a guy on a 100cc and a guy on a 1000cc to go from home-office-home in our traffic.

                          I finished my D390's 1st service last day. Covered 450km's on the prior Sunday in a stretch heading Mcity-Pondy-Chidambaram-Pondy-ECR-Guindy-Mcity.

                          [ATTACH=CONFIG]230850[/ATTACH]

                          The ride was so awesome. There was no bad things to talk about actually, except the close calls with 2 holy Cows on ECR.

                          The flickering issue of headlamp was present through out, but the sc guy has told me he will fix it on the first service time.

                          I gave it for service and they changed the Headlamp assy. & flashed the software again. Finished the service and got my Sonic(d390) back last day.
                          No more issues left. All cool for rides now.

                          Hi Rejitee,

                          Just a query with headlight flickering part, by flickering do you mean the 2 second of the cut off that all guys are facing and from which service center did you get your bike serviced?

                          TIA

                            Hi Javed, where do we see the version of the software (V39), I mean is it part of the menu of the TFT, I haven't explored the TFT much, but don't think have seen that

                              Don't know I think it's quite individual, I tried all the 3 but 390 was just overpowering, it felt to good that the other two didn't even register as rides in the mind, just one ride and you are sold

                                Actually FZ 25 doesnt offer much and hence price tag is ok. If you consider FZ with all the goodies that D250 has, then one can assume how much it would cost considering the current pricing for simple tech.
