Hello guys,

Hope all are well and fine.
I need a little help regarding heat generated by the bike. My bike is nearing 1000 kms, first service was done at around 336 kms. My bike heats up a lot, say after riding for about 30 mins - 45 mins continuously. I can feel the heat on my legs. I let it cool down for about 10 mins. And then I start riding again. Is it normal for new/less run bikes? I most of the time ride on the highway but I do vary the rpms and change gears according to the rpms. But I occasionally rev my bike beyond 4000 rpms to 6000 rpms.

Engine heating up is very normal.Five minutes of city riding will heat up the engine. But a few things needs to be checked, A/F ratio needs to be optimum, the engine oil level must be full and check if you are using the right spark plug.Use a better grade engine oil, at least 10W40, some guys use 15W50.

Finally completed a year with my steed.
A year & 5700km later the bike is running like new. No mechanical problems at all.
Couple of minor problems like chain cover rattling, vibrations in the speedometer console. But all sorted out.
I had put in shell ax7 at 5020 km. Still going good. Very good oil for cruising all day at 80kmph. But the vibrations take a toll on your fingers. They turn numb after an hour of cruising around.
Next oil change scheduled at 7000km.

Congratulations ! Some pictures please...

Thanks for replying. I will go to the SVC this weekend to check the above. By the way, I saw that they put 10w30 tvs oil during my 1st service, it was in a red colored bottle. Could this also be a reason?

Yes, the TVS TRU4 10W30 is the reason (or one of the reasons). The engine needs more lubrication and this oil is too thin for the rtr. Change the oil to 10W40 at least or higher (I'v have not tried higher grades).

Thanks for this information. My 2nd service is due next month. I will change the oil to the above grade oil. During 1st service they offered me to use the tvs synthetic oil. Is it good to use the synthetic oil in 2nd service? Can it make the engine run cooler and smooth?
