      An update from my 50 KM ride today morning with Rimula R4:

      1. Didn't observe any drop in pick up in 1st/2nd gears.. Though i did feel a slight drop in the 4th & 5th, though only slight. It might also be due to the fact that this is the first major oil change for my engine & this was the first ever ride on it. Additionally i hadn't drained the oil from clutch box. So appx 250 ml of old burnt oil has got mixed with this new oil too.

      2. The vibes from engine have been truly reduced & have got reduced by a noticeable extent. I still used to get a hell lot of vibes between 60-75 kmph even though some of the engine parts have been recently replaced. The same vibes were literally absent at those speeds today with R4 !! Engine was butter smooth at the higher speeds & i must say i was so happy !!

      3. FE: Would let you folks know towards next weekend.

      4. Engine heating: The ride was small; so couldn't get a good measure.

      5. As some engine parts are new i didn't drag beyond 90 kmph. But even 90kmph was achieved effortlessly.

      Conclusion so far:
      My only major concern has been vibration at high speeds & am extremely satisfied with R4 literally throwing them out !!
      & One major confirmation on my previous understanding over ZMR ; It is & it has always been the engine which is the main culprit behind those vibes. The "poor" fairing just takes the blame & bears all the burnt
      Thanks for the update.......I had difficult gear shifts and finding Neutral used to be annoying experience. Now I am looking for problems overall with the engine and gear shifts and find none....like you mentioned the engine Vibes cause a lot of body part chattering which is attenuated with Rimula.....best difference in feel was at high(42 C) ambient , at higher speed experience...no high temp, no roughness, and smooth gear shifts....

        Veedol Swift is really awesome....engine sound and performing very smooth....not feel any change in gear shifting its same as earlier....

        Ok will check with MRF or any other expert for wheel alignment...i shall post a image of the same later in a day...

                      Well i bring back chain cover with no cutting...will be going to a private bike service center to get it adjusted....
                      More input required, if you could... As I have fit 110/90-18 last weekend.. It seems to work fine till now.....

                          was your bike hit from behind by anything?? it could be the swingarm in bent.. I just have a gut feeling on that...

                          Can you take a pic and upload it?? maybe the wheel bearing are the culprit..

                              I see.. I guess that could be the issue.. the swing arm could be bent.. since you had the stock tires, you probably didn't face any issues, now that you have fixed a broader tire.. its clearly visible.. where do you stay in Delhi mate??

                                May be swing arm a issue...will check the same during a visit at SVC....
