    After starting the bike I usually go up to about 18km/h in first gear and then,
    2nd - 28km/h
    3rd - 38km/h
    4th - 48km/h
    I like to ride in mid 50s on the 5th(in the city, here speed limit is 50 for city area, otherwise 3rd - 55,4th-75,5th ^^^)
    I shift at these speeds mainly because those are the points where engine vibs start. Is that OK? How do you ride?

      thats not sane riding..its almost ripping...you could change gears early and also avoid the large revving...for a smooth ride..

      for a fact the p135LS may/may not have a tall gear ratio...but the bike can be ridden at just 25km/hr in the fifth gear smoothly...yes...without giving jerks...its just the way you change gears effectively
      A very good and safe biker not only because he can pop up either of the wheels,scrape his knees on a corner or go fast and make it look stylish but because he very well knows his limits and capabilities and has the patience to learn about others and ride safe ! :)

                Oh yeah....! I guess the kick lever is taken from the original design.
                Take a look at this one.

                  There is no precise speed to say as such.. but if you want a good pickup ie. quick 0-60kmph sprint then you try to shift gears above 5k rpm.. don't be afraid.. that will not be ripping especially on P135LS, coz it's high revving engine.. which redlines at 10.5k rpm..

                  By the way.. the above posted mods.. are they real or photo shop jobs??

                          Your mod looks good, our bike only misses a monoshock, rest pretty much every thing is there.
                          Found out the culrpit to my problem, it was a cupful of water in the tank which was randomly coming in.

                            • The pointed area always used to get full of water whenever I gave my bike for pressure washing.
                              Had pointed this also to the svc they just said it drains via the drain holes provided.
                              Also the SVC wasn't even able to find-out the reason for this problem, my local mech pointed out this thing.

                                Does same happens with all of your bikes, or it seems to me the drain hole of my bike is some where choked.
