I have seen many times in XBHP, people criticizing others for not wearing helmets, even if the other person was riding only for 100 or 200 meters, driving without helmet is not et all encouraged in XBHP and same goes for city racing, it should not be encouraged et all. You don't need to show anyone that your bike is faster than other's. It has already been proven in test conditions and you don't need to prove it again. Racing on streets in not recommended, even motogp racers say so and one should not do it.

When one revs his bike unnecessarily in front of you and does all sort of things which other riders around don't ,you know there's ego involvement.I can't help but would want to crush that guys' ego sometime or the other.And half of the wits on the road think 'higher the gear higher is the speed' so they try to reach for the 5th/6th immediately.The 100kph debate is settled then I guess.

About your criticism on street racing,I know it's very dangerous and have many times myself felt to never to do that again.But everyone who rides a bike sometimes or the others has raced someone.It's an inevitable thing to happen. I want you to read this article once and then come back and discuss further. Here: http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/pit-stop...l-winning.html

One more eg for bike comparison: One of my friend is having Unicorn and he always says that his bike is better than mine. It gives more mileage, it is more comfortable, engine is very smooth and bike doesn't make any sound ( mine is Joel'ed, you can imagine the sound, and then compare it with Unicorn ). Now you guys tell me, what should I say to him, my bike is better than yours in 0 - ANY SPEED.

If you are interested in arguing then yes,why wouldn't you mention this 0-any speed thing? Tell him you prioritize performance above mileage and smoothness.

If not,then ask to him keep mum as you don't want to discuss silly things. Simple as that.

@Shivank, you may have heard about maths and numeral systems( which will even say that my bike is faster than many of the fast cars, maybe in comparison of 0 - 1 or 2kmph ) but there is a lot more to learn about biking.
Enjoy your ride and thats the reason bikes are made for.
Peace out.

Everyday I go out,street-race with pricks around and do nothing else.I haven't clocked 30k-odd kilometers yet.Neither is my bike Joel'ed.On top of that,I have ego-problems.And because you assume that this is what I do and this is who I am,it comes as no surprise when you suggest or think that you are a better and a more learned biker than me.

EDIT: @Shivank: Didn't expect your statement turning true so early Even if you try making peace, people blindly back-fire on you.
Thats true. One more thing is true, people dont look at bigger picture and fight for small things.

We all have very good bikes and we consider it to be better than others, thats why we buy that and not any other bike. And every sensible biker knows here how good one bike is, even if they have not ridden it. We all know how fast RTR is, but we don't have to prove that, especially not inside city. And if someone is in doubt just handover that BIKE India magazine to that person.

First thing I would like to ask you Abhi is to STOP reading BIKE India magazine.They are always contradicting themselves and their own testing standards.The same R15 which was faster than the P220 by over three seconds earlier on the track has now been beaten by the same P220 around the same track.The RTR180 which has set a lap time of 2:22 earlier has now gone down to 2:25 with better brakes and ABS!

and now you are getting 40 then what you were getting before.

.
when ever you try dose the wind was opposite to you, cus wind play a big role in top end try to lean on front and then try.
.

Could explain what serious issues they might be?
Earlier I used to get 45kmpl, minimum.
And no, wind was not in oppose to Me.

Ok. My question. Why do you care for morons. Let them bark, let them show you ego. If you respond to them, it doesnt make you or your bike any better than theirs. And this I'm telling from my own experience on road and from lots of several threads that I have gone through Xbhp.

About your criticism on street racing,I know it's very dangerous and have many times myself felt to never to do that again.But everyone who rides a bike sometimes or the others has raced someone.It's an inevitable thing to happen.

Even I have done that and mostly all of us do when they get the bike, but some realize its not a good thing and some dont care. And trust me its not et all a good thing. Just think about those ppl who have learned this hard way. I would never want anyone to learn it that way. And seriously speaking, those who show ego with their bikes, just dont respond to them, it may not show your bike is faster but it will definitely show that you are a much better and sensible rider.

If you are interested in arguing then yes,why wouldn't you mention this 0-any speed thing? Tell him you prioritize performance above mileage and smoothness.

If not,then ask to him keep mum as you don't want to discuss silly things. Simple as that.

I just agree with him, and tell him ya his bike is better than mine in its own standard and mine better than his in diff standards and then we dont argue and get a mutual understanding that our bikes are good.

Everyday I go out,street-race with pricks around and do nothing else.I haven't clocked 30k-odd kilometers yet.Neither is my bike Joel'ed.On top of that,I have ego-problems.And because you assume that this is what I do and this is who I am,it comes as no surprise when you suggest or think that you are a better and a more learned biker than me.

You took me totally wrong.

First thing I would like to ask you Abhi is to STOP reading BIKE India magazine.They are always contradicting themselves and their own testing standards.The same R15 which was faster than the P220 by over three seconds earlier on the track has now been beaten by the same P220 around the same track.The RTR180 which has set a lap time of 2:22 earlier has now gone down to 2:25 with better brakes and ABS!
I had already stopped reading it long back, may be a year or so. I remember there was a article where they showed that RTR180 is faster in 0 to 100 and thats why I mentioned it. Haven't seen any other official comparison in 0 to 100kmph between those 2 bikes.

replies in bold.

See if the air filter needs to be cleaned. It must be clogged, consequently, the bike is running rich and it is not able to breath enough or the bike is "actually" running rich.

have you done serious runin means Strictly under 5k. what's the top you have achived till date.

**saipranav** · 08-12-2011, 10:22 PM

What do you guys think about NGK iridium spark plugs?
I heard that we have to change some wire or something along with the sparkplug in order to have the real effect of a iridum spark plug, is there any risk of my bike running on lean or rich mixture?

**Rtrlover83** · 08-12-2011, 10:31 PM

@all
After starting, especially when engine is cold, does idling for about 30 secs to 1 min before riding, do any good? Like, will this make the oil cover all the engine internals well enough during this time... I think so, and been doing this for a while now

Don't know if this is necessary for an air cooled motorcycle engine.
