        Because engine is designed to give that much mileage !!!
        My 1000+ KMS old engine with only ONE service done, returned a mileage a 45 kmpl after a 320 kms trip through City road, NH, village roads & ghats !

              If you have the issue at all RPS then ur AF is the culprit. Rotate that AF refer to one of my post where i have posted a vid for tuning the carb. Try tuning it 3-4 on varying RPS till u get a smooth throttle respoinse ur vibs will automatically come down
              I've tried to do it N number of times. But, the problem is that my bike is vibrating like hell @ the mixture where I get the required pick-up and pull. And, if I make it half a turn richer to lower down the vibes, then the throttle response goes down quite significantly The pull, the acceleration n all goes down I'm unable to find the solution of this problem.

                Some users have reported that changing to Synth engine oil had reduced the vibes...you may try the Motul engine oil semi or fully synth and see..

                    Bro, the SVC people aren't allowing me to change the oil or NOT to buy engine oil from the TVS SVC.

                      One question...service centre does not allow to put differnt engine oil?? and in my 2nd service they wrote engine oil not changed...will it effect warranty?? and how do i convince service people??

                        If you are running on tvs oil please get it changed if you have run for more than 700~800kms

                          I did 128 kmph !! I slowed down after that, as I did not want to strain the engine more since I was continuously doing RED on the Tacho ! I've posted the pic of it few pages earlier. Mine is 1200 odd on the ODO.

                            Why dint they allow you to change the oil? I got it changed on the 1st service to Castrol Activ 20w40. The SVC themselves had it ! I got the oil changed in front of my eyes. But the funny part was they billed the amount of the TVS oil which is cheaper !

                                Omitting to mention oil change is one thing, but writing that you did not change oil is something else. In case later on you land into some trouble with engine, it could affect the availing of warranty. Some SVC are hard assess and dont allow to use any other oil, but give them hell, talk to SVC manager, drop a mail to TVS etc. Do anything, but make them record the oil change at the mentioned services.
                                But if you are like me and willing to take the risk, dont bother.
