I too got 420+ during my running in, averaging out to be 36.. when i filled the bike to the brim line.

Now i generally get 320 -350 from brim to brim and when the light becomes more or less continuous while riding..

Wanted to ask what is the best way to set the trip meter to get the accurate mileage?

as you are filling upto brim,set the tripmeter at the time of filling fuel and again when are filing it note the distance traveled and divide it by the amount of fuel consumed....i do follow this one and feel that its accurate

WEll, i'll again disagree here. I consistently got mileage in excess of 26kmpl in all stretches during my Mumbai-Delhi-Mumbai trip. I did cross 160kph occassionaly, so definitely wasn't riding it like a boxer 100

For the mileage, i set the trip meter to 0 before getting a full tank and note both the distance done and the fuel intake at the next fuel stop. Easiest way.

What I have observed is that the fuel economy varies as per your riding style. During run-in period, I used to get an average of 35-38 kmph but as I started upshifting at higher and higher rpm, the fuel economy drops. I normally get an average of 22-25 kmph now a days (whether I ride in city or on highway).

However, if you ride between 80 - 110 kmph, you get maximum average.

Precisely.

Not really.When I got 420 between refills, I had a P-220 DTSi and an unburdened CBZ tailing me. So I was going about 90-110.

**therealabhinav** · 07-06-2011, 09:33 PM

i've recently done 380km between refills, on 14 litres not 13. which works to a little over 27kmpl (it's the highest i got since my run-in! lol). predominantly i've done cruising rides at 100kmph and city riding. (those 380km also include 40km of redlining just before the refill).

usually i get around 25kmpl for the extra urban rides. i get 21-23 for out and out highway speed runs.

headlight assembly-8600
headlight bracket -7500
speedometer cover-8000
silencer tail -20000
front disc -12000

OMG.. This is keeping me away from getting the bike

For a bike that costs 3 lakhs, I think the price is justified

. And plus its not as if you're going to buy a new headlight or speedometer everyday

most certainly not!

clip on(each side) - 3100X2 =6200
clutch lever -700
headlight assembly-8600
headlight bracket -7500
speedometer cover-8000
silencer tail -20000
front disc -12000

that equals INR. 63000.

that's more than 22% of the bike's total value.
and that's not even 5% of the bike.

still think the N250R spare prices are "justified"?

My friend's ninja had an accident. The damage was around 30%(front and both side fairing, mirrors, indicators, headlight and speedometer, front forks and disc) and he got an estimate of 4.5 lacs

We're thankful that the price of the bike is more than justified, to say the least..........

Holy mother of inline 4's

. I think I should stop posting without knowing shit

. But why is that 5% of the bike constitutes to 22% of the cost? Why such a huge disparity?

I've now read this 3 times on this forum i believe! Is it really true? How can one get an insurance estimate so much more than the cost of the bike itself?? I've seen a green ninja at hyd pbk in a very banged up state with the damage surely being around if not more than 50% (both the side fairings, front fairing, head light assembly and it's bracket, front rim and disc, forks, handle, tank, both the tails, speedometer, radiator and potential chasis damage) and the damage estimate was 2l...i'm pretty sure the engine on its own is worth quite a bit but still an estimate of 4.5l does seem far fetched (i mean no offence)

very true! the price of the ninja 250r is IMHO justified to the penny!

don't know about the percentages and its constitutions but i'm pretty sure the spares are OVERLY priced (maybe the government are charging tax on those as well???) because even in an expensive country such as UK (the parts and the rest much cheaper in the US due to its tax structure i believe) some of the spares are much cheaper than they are in India!

the price of the bike seems justified when you compare it to the cost of spares.

the inflated prices aren't coz of taxes.

I second to this thought............. It just doesn't make sense............... (No offence)

It could not have been better than this, anything cheaper would have made her another pulsar for the premium bikes and anything more would have been a bomb. The pricing is perfect I believe............ Totally worth it.............

Not exactly, I mean this isn't a comparo of any sorts, but seriously speaking, the Ceeber feels nowhere like a premium bike be it the fit and finish or the feel of that engine responding to your command, or the brakes or the suspension. The bike for me being 6.3' is just too tiny, feels cramped, sounds *****. So The price of our baby Ninja is well justified...................

It's Bajaj's decision to earn more profits, guess they deserve some........ Or we wouldn't have been riding the Ninja here in India yet........

Kudos to you Bajaj for taking such a bold step.............

If thats not a comparo, i dont know what is!!....

& i wonder what the baby ceeber had anything to do with the discussion ( prices, spares, insurance) that was being discussed here.

& the second part, Speaks volumes in itself..lol!

Professor biker,you being 6.3' why did u not get a RE which is big, does'nt feel cramped and sounds orgasmic..(well...maybe not

). LoL

First of all, the initial estimate usually would be double the actuals since almost everything is put for change rather than repair. If small paint scratch is there on tank, they will put for tank change etc...

Secondly, during every visit to service center I have seen a new accident vehicle there... so i'm guessing Bajaj is making good profit through spares/repair than the vehicle itself.

Finally if the repair cost is near (some % is there) the total cost of the bike, you pay a smaller (not sure how much) amount and you get a new bike through insurance...

As far as I know atleast 2 bike owners got this option and I heard one of them is still on bed with some serious injury.

But in general, initial estimate for Ninja accident would be almost certainly above 1L
