Fully agree bro

If you read the aims of xbhp, as now listed on top of the page, point 2 says "Shaping motorycling as a lifestyle in India, especially on performance bikes". Those who are into performance biking do not deal with regular biking material, correct? I'm yet to see a 100cc, or even a 125cc bike owner in xbhp. Why? I feel they are more of bikers by need more than bikers by passion. We have lot of other mags which caters to a wider range.

And one more thing, if the first edition release notes itself Sunny has said that there wont be any ads or masala in the xbhp mag.... so weren't you looking for stuff that was never included?

Once again, just stating my thoughts. This is not an argument.

Peace...

Yups thats correct my only concern was that its not the masala for a passionate biker tips are a must of course they have covered basics for RTR Hyper Edge but but expcept those i cannot figure out anything new if you have read the second issue u'll come to know what i was talking about

Isnt it the Chain sound , i have it too i thought chain is loose , but its not, dont know the problem but i am sure its the chain sound

Which 160 ? Refresh ? EFI ? Hyper Edge ? Vibs are less in Hyper Edge too , i will always cruise @ 50-65KMPH i.e always around 5k rpm .

Its an october 2009 model, and its not an EFI. so, may be just 160 or refresh not aware about that. And yes, its a mixxy at 50-60kmph. everything vibs, and most annoyingly, its tank

The bike shouldn't stop in jerks... It should simply stop...

Does your brake lever pulsate when you brake hard (real hard)...

yes, unless ABS are formally introduced, any such jerks must be reported to the SVC

OT- i want a "like" option here just as in FB :P

Castrol Power 1 in semi-synth. But stick to mineral oil till the 1st 1000 kms...

**blazing180** · 12-16-2010, 06:08 PM

I have tested Motul 1550 it rocks atleast it will make ur gear shifting like butter this is my experience dont know about the vibes but there is a significance difference in gear shifts. Try it only 450/- bottle

**social** · 12-16-2010, 06:15 PM

Don't know.. but I've hardly felt any gear shifting changes when I shifted to Power 1 from Castrol Activ....

The gear shifting was always good (my friends also find it smooth)... If we shift at the correct rpms it never is a problem..

+100 Also to keep in mind is the fact that the RTR is a high revving bike (like some SBKs

)

agreed. gear shifting is too good. i operate in 3000 to 4000 RPMs and they have been butter smooth.

Only when i consider them to be super smooth too much, the gears tend to stuck in between but that has been rare (2-3 times)

going for Power1 @ 500 finally
