    No it's in UK only ... a racing bike.

    BTW mine comes fitted with Zapper FS 2.75-17 TT front & Zapper C 100/90-17 TT rear, very good grip on wet roads, no skidding till now.

      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 ! :)

          i bet there is no one here who has an absolute idea about this...because no one must have even thought of selling off this bike...you definitely will be getting some good moolah in the deal

            I have not met any 2nd hand owner of P135LS yet. But I think you can sell it off at 80% of the original.

            • Yesterday completed 1000kms ... now I will ride with 60kmph limit till next 1000kms. ODO reading 1003kms.

              Last week got a problem that bike was stalling at 1k rpm. Found that the mixture was too lean. Made the mixture a bit rich by turning the volume screw 1/4 towards left. Now the stalling is gone and sound of bike seems more nice.

              Anyone got any idea that I should change the oil once again at 1000kms? The oil has run for 400kms. Castrol Activ Xtra 20W50. Today morning I checked it and the oil seems to a bit low on the level since servicing and turned almost black. Any idea guys?

                      Yes, definitely so. Maybe they are too much busy riding.

                          Even I had this problem, actually idle rpm is not a problem.. on my bike it's set at just below 1k!! but for the first time in a day.. if you let the engine run in idle for 30 seconds are so..then you will not have that problem of stalling. You can think of oil change once oil runs for 2000-2500 kms, unless the level goes below the minimum level mark.. if you still think oil level is low, go for a top-up of 100 ml or so and then check it after some time.

                            Yep, seems all P135 owners having no issues with their bikes and they are riding very happily.. I didn't post any coz I kind of lost my interest as this thread is not really active. Well let's move on from here guys!!

                            And this also suggest that P135 seems to have a problem free engine, doesn't it?. Also the build quality feels made to last. I have done over 8k kms till now in three months and no problem so far. No rusting as well. Everyday on my way I ride it on a coastal road, just next to the sea, for about 30kms and stay in the coastal area as well but no rust so far.
                            And still my bike gives me around 65kmpl eventhough I ride it around 70-80kmph. Very happy about it.
                            The only problem I face is that bike gives little jerks in the mornings for about 3-5 mins, well that is probably because the engine is in the process of heating so I guess that's not a problem at all. After that it's smooth. And also some vibrations in the range of 50-57kmph. Well that's normal is'nt it?
                            Guys, did you notice that the auto choke does work pretty well? I had no problems starting it even in below 10 celcius.
                            And what about the gears, they work pretty smoothly as well, don't they? Well not so smooth as a honda, but in a different way, I mean, no "click" when changing but absolutely no sound and not hard. I use Motul 3000 20W50 engine oil!

                            Well, see, nothing bad about this bike so far, that is why owners of this bike not so active in this thread, I guess. Anyway I wish they post their experiences more regularly atleast..
