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

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

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

        prateek bhai's bike doing the same it give jerks like desi abs it release pressure
        but dose not lock wheel .
        first time i think tvs has done somthing in braking .if not then your front brakes are defective .
        i want to confirm that thing .
        tell about your braking prateek bhai.
        I havent subjected it to aggressive braking as of now. However there are no jerks

        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

        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

                      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

                        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

                                Good , if you are interested in what s going on inside your engine just check old engine oil for some metal peices
