    It is called pinking..do not do it often or you will have engine problems later.Throttle gradually and in proper RPM range...shift at 3 K RPM for normal ride and at 5 K RPM for sportier ride.

        I guess..if it is pinking...then u have to make the air fuel ratio Rich...and on top of that shift @4-5k for a normal ride....Riding at lower gears or at lower RPM may not reduce knocking..

        Yes...its aluminium or some alloy while cooling makes that noise...so as long as u are getting it...ur engine is fine ! ! !
        Nothing feels better than to gear up and burn some rubber ! ! !

              • Wet roads... Not too bad grip !

                It was raining here in Delhi so I had a chance to test the tyres.

                And I must say it wasn't as bad Or maybe I wasn't doing good enough speeds (around 60 kph). The grip was very decent (comparable to pulsars) and the braking was spot on (didn't try panic braking though... I believe you guys ).

                And hopefully the front disc pads are clean now .

                    had my first major accident with my whiteangel...my bike slipped when i used brakes on gitti(minute pebbles road) and my speed was around 50-60 and i got 4 stiches on the chin....( i was wearing a helmet NINJA STUDS and i think that is why my nose got saved) and hands and right leg knee got scrapped pretty bad.....my bike has a big scar on the right near the headlamp and the right indicator was broken .

                    but thanks to the awesome leg guard there are no scratches on the tank or air scoops...the leg guard has twisted and will need to be straightened. i have been recuperating for about 2 weeks now and still i cannot ride my bike because the right leg wound is still not healed.

                    i would just to ask all the new bikers not to get carried away by the 180's power and pure awesomeness and ride with a little caution. hoping that i get back on my feet and my bike soon.

                    guys...my friend said the indicators will be changed as a pair and not a single piece. how much would that cost????
                    Get well soon Buddy.

                        in rain on wet tarmac the grip is good but when it come to muddy wet road like corner of roads they give up some times .
                        today i dont ride in rain when the rain begains i take shelter under metro tracks .but ride on wet road .i have riden all monsoon so i have learn to not exceed 50 on wet roads with tvs tyre.

                            Yup stock tyres. I don't have much confidence in the tyres either. But somehow the grip felt good yesterday

                            Muddy road, roads with pebbles and sand are a strict no no. But I don't think any tyre would be able to provide much grip in such situations (at least not the mrfs)

                              ??? KIDDING?

                              not just rain dude even if somebody just spilled a mug of water o road n u try to turn bend or brake i am pretty sure u will end up smelling tarmac.,
                              heard they r developing a new kind of tvs tire. this time double compound. i jus hope they USE MRF or irc for the 200+cc bike expected.

                                sorry not to mention it is just for straight line .doing straight line on wet is gripy but problem arise on leaning cornering they dont give confedence of leaning on wet road .i had done 120 on wet highways but only straight line i had posted it hear .and tvs tyres were discussed in detail . i am wating for new tvs tyres
