And yes am planning to change the oil filter too..

Somehow i feel the FE is very bad in my bike.. i had put 10 litre of normal unleaded from bpcl on the 1st day with 12 on the odo(the pbk guys must have put an extra 2.5 litres when i was taking delivery) and the fuel light started blinking again when my odo reached 195..

that is less than 20.. And this was with riding mostly at 30 to 50 ...
Hopefully the BPCL pertrol i had put back then is the culprit.. Otherwise need to get it checked at the probiking service center.

I have switched over to super unleaded from shell and can feel the difference immedietly.

Motul is the favorite among Ninja owners. I mean better than DTSi oil.

I used to get around 30 KM/L during run-in, but till now used only Shell petrol. I seriously doubt the quantity of the petrol from the BPCL pump.

Regarding the Quality of BPCL petrol, Yesterday due to emergency , had to fill up from BPCl pump but got fuel filled only for 100 bucks(as with BPCL fuel i have earlier faced problems like knocking, missing and vibrations earlier) and to my confirmation , these problem appeared again yesterday

.

Got a tankful done with the normal ,HPCL and now seems that the bike is happier. .. Not much vibrations , so another tankful would solve the problem..

Why don't you fill from Shell Bommanahalli? Shell reduced 5 Rs, when other increased 5 Rs!!

i think that particular bunk is altering the quality of the fuel because most of the times i use normal fuel from bpcl and i havent faced any knocking issues till date

I use to fill earlier with Shell earlier, but when it went up to 78, thought of changing it to hpcl..

I have got it filled from other bunks of BPCL also.. but the problem exists..
May be something wrong with bpcl pumps in bangalore

Intake modification,Cam change,ECU change, titanium crank change (very inlikely),complete Exhaust,etc.
also how much unwanted weight reduction is possible?
is it possible to remove the starter motor and go for "dhakka start",just like GP machines?

you can get a good 15% boost by changing to lighter rims( made for ninja 250r) from performance racing. cost 1.5 lakhs. down side is if you dip your ninja in a bad gutter 1.5 lakhs is gone.

Instead of buying N250R + Rims.. why not buy N650R for the same price?

good logic there, but still when you are in love with your bike (or your wife/Gf) you don't switch loyalties just like that.

will be going for the test drive soon and booking one.
i dont understand one thing tough,my friends are forcing me to go for the cbr just because its available at half the price,and there wont be much performance difference for a normal fellow like me.but am fixed on the ninja!

Test drive both of them and find out which is best for you..Dont go for something just because your friends force you into it..

Update : Did 18,000 km servicing today. Cost was quite reasonable. Of course, I had changed engine oil earlier so the cost of engine oil is not included here. Main cost here was change of front brake pads.
