        The front will usually rotate more than the rear because it doesn't have the drag of the chain/sprockets slowing it down. But one rev is too less, should do 3-5 revs easily. My RD's front wheel would go on for like a minute! The momentum of the valve's weight would keep it spinning i think.
        Check that your brakes are not binding. You may need to overhaul them completely.

        The neutral sensor switch is screwed. Get it fixed. Either moisture or a loose connection. Might need to change it.

          Plus check for the noices from the front disc while the tire is rotating, if it's kinda friction type then spray superb high pressure water at the pads, it will clear all the dirt and debris.

              If neutral switch is fine, the solenoid or wire going to solenoid from switch is culprit.

                Congratulations for your new ride. Pics, please!!

                Speed is good and it will not cause any adverse effects on the bike's performance.If you are inclined to premium fuels then Xtra Premium from IOC would be a better bet as it gels well with the RTR.

                    I just filled vsx, as usual i didnt find any difference in smoothness. The bike seems a little tighter, the old sprinta was a little low, but the sprinta itself maybe a smoother oil.

                        +1 , it is between 4k to 5k. But not as severe as we feel on foot rests. It is felt only in the handle bar to some extent.

                          The 180 service manual has it nicely detailed and with pretty pictures too! Also has the tubeless puncture procedure. Da vinci is nothing, this one's a must read!

                          Do you have a soft copy of it? Can you plz share it...

                          Or Can I get a hard copy somewhere?

                              • Another query...i have a lil confusion...regarding the fuel tank nozzle...it has an arrow...but that never points towards 'off'...when we turn the nozzle upwards that indicates reserve or "ON'..???
