    I rode almost 20kms around 70-80 & 90 in between.

          Although you should have controlled the wrist till the first service. The first service should have been done by 700-800kms . Nothing to worry about though

          Depends on you, if you feel the rear can sustain your riding style, stay with it. Or else, change it. 12k kms for TVS tyres is still new.

              I am using MRF Zapper, on both rear and front and is very happy with it.
              Next I would suggest Michelin Street Radial and if able to find then Michelin Road 2 (best for wet), Pirelli Sports Demon is quite rare and expensive too, but was one of the best in its time.

                      Seems most mrf dealers are ripping off the public. Got my FY1 for 1600. Guardex tyres, sanpada.

                            Then chill, nothing to worry about, although if I know RTR right, there would be some oil deposit near the cylinder which can be washed off.
                            If you are using TVS oil, get the service done before the 2000kms interval (1700-1800)

                              Getting into 5th gear anything around 50-53 is ok. Further that the bike will feel harsh at 4th gear. 60 at 4th gear(then into 5th) is pretty high for a short geared bike. I do it around 44.

                                If you rev your bike a lot. Then with tvs oil u need to change them earlier than 2500kms. Tvs oil doesnt last long if you are a spirited rider. I am a slow rider , hardly cross 60 in town & max 85 on highways. My tvs oil lasts for about 1800kms after which there are signs that you need an oil change.
