    • hiii my reaperpegasus jus had her first service last friday.
      Is it just me or that the guys at SVC drained almost a litre of petrol i had left in her when i gave her for the service.

      but still i was testing her for mileage for the last two days. reserve to reserve method.

      reserve-Filled for 250-reserve
      got about 158 Km on trip. and 250 s about 3.5 litres

      so i guess shes returning about 45Kmpl. that too with some sporty(rev happy) riding and sane riding.

      kept about max 60Kmph(solo) on sane riding. and went upto 105Kmph(with a pillion) on the other part. Cooled off the engine and bike for 5-10 mins after each burst.

      I dont know wether the numbers are okay for the machine or should i ask the SVC to tuneup the engine?

        The SVC guys may have used the petrol for cleaning the air filter as well as cleaning their hands after servicing. Though, the SVC people here don't do that, but I've seen a lot of mechanics doing that.

        And about the mileage, on getting 45kmpl from the beast you should be more than happy

                    • No idea abt dealers/svc in attingal/kochi.
                      I have started doing certain things myself. And sometimes our local mechanics are the best. Its just that you have to get the good ones

                          local mechs are good...actually my friend who has an RTR180 himself gives it them for works. cheaper too

                            almost 800Km ...
                            not that much issues...though there were minor hiccups...like loose nuts, squeaky sounds..but all that got okay after her first service.
                            making her first >200km trip tomorrow. to kochi

                              Yes. But certain basic things like tuning, air bleeding and filter cleaning can be easily done by layman
