You can reach 7th gear with a certain upshift, downshift pattern. Last heard was that there is an 8th gear which takes you past 200 but its top secret thou!

Great read, and highly debatable. The links on the post there are by people who can afford to mess up their motorcycles. I've played it safe with the breaking in right now.Originally posted by durgesh View Post
Ofcourse, the way you run your bike in is debatable. As for me, I always follow this:
1. Never riding the clutch (which also means never trying to lug the bike on a high gear - this also helped me get a fairly good idea of the gear shifts, and now riding on the right gear has become habitual)
2. Warming the engine up for at least 2 - 3 minutes before riding (I wait for the idling RPM to settle down before I set off)
3. Keeping the revs varying - bottom to 4k, repeat
4. Giving it occasional bursts of acceleration - while taking care not to hammer the engine
5. Avoiding pillion (weird and fanatic, I know)
6. Getting the first service + oil change done about 100 kms earlier than 1000
7. Ensuring that the bike is parked in a ventilated area after riding, and not putting it under the cover until it has cooled down completely
8. Keeping an eye on the temp. gauge - especially in traffic. Shutting the engine off during the long red signals, or when parked right behind another hot vehicle
9. Not riding it hard until the first oil change
10. Occasionally using engine brakingLast edited by asheshambasta; 02-15-2012, 12:56 AM.sigpic

@pulsar_flame: I tried following a long time ago, about how vehicle insurance company calculates the depreciation. Anyway, as per the rule, it's as low as 9.5% on an yearly basis on your base price. But it doesn't work the same way while selling the vehicle, Human impression overlaps your calculation
you can expect anywhere between 2 - 2.3 L for yours.
@ABikerAtHeart: Are you of the opinion that engine braking shouldn't be done, or am I understanding it in other way? If it's the first, then to some extent you are right, during run-in we should do little of that. But after run-in is over, it should be effectively used as much as you can, no doubt about that. Just that don't shift down 2-3 gears before releasing the clutch, to do that.
Motorsport is fun. Safety is a mandate. Be in shape & ride long

By occasional, I mean really occasional. And I do it at low RPM's (2-3k). And until now, I've done it like 2-3 times :-P for very short durations - which ofcourse would mean leaving the engine in gear for 3-4 seconds and no downshifting, strictly.Originally posted by ABikerAtHeart View Postsigpic

Engine braking does not kill engine life. Ninja has massive engine braking. As soon as you release accelerator at any speed, bike starts slowing down (as if you are braking). Most of the ninja owners use engine braking as part of their normal braking.Originally posted by ABikerAtHeart View PostNever argue with an idiot.

And its not mentioned as a no-no in the manual. Also, every article about breaking in I've read online seems to suggest it being done regularly.sigpic

Engine acceleration and braking are the only ways that an engine can run in effectively. If an engine runs at a constant load and rpm, the rings do not get set (or should I say effectively worn out).Originally posted by ABikerAtHeart View Post
Ideally, the racetrack is the best place to run in your engine after subjecting it to moderate loads for the first 500 KM or so.

Breaking in - on Quora
I found this on Quora. I agree with the first answer. Also, I'd trust Kawasaki's recommendations than some freelancer's. They make the engines and they deal with the kind of metal that goes into the engine. I'm 100% certain that they know what they're talking about.sigpic
