    the reason i hate them is they make me wait for hrs and then tell me that we cant do it today ,,,

      ohh...i tell them ...take your time....and then i go a couple of hours after the expected time... chances are that the bike will not be ready to ride but i usually get it in 20-30 mins....i guess thats expected....

      PS: i am using Speed97 in my fi right now...lets see how it is....

      PPS: its just an experiment...but experts please let me know your comments.

          everyone out here is a bike addict in some way or the other... aren't they?

          From my experience be it with the car or the bike ....you get the best only if you give the mech a fair bit of time.. i would rather have a mechanical fine bike rather than an ill bike just because i wanted to ride my bike...

          anyways ..enough of OT i guess...

            +1000. sometimes I leave my bike with my mech for weeks or months and he always gives special treatment to my bike.

                Well I have just been commuting on the bike, have done just 12xx kms so far.

                The latest mileage returned is 42.xx which includes some hard core ripping & fast commuting. Under such riding the ZMA used to return 29-30 kpl

                The bike does have vibrations around 6k-7k rpm. The pull & grunt around 7k rpm is addictive :P

                The rising RPM issue still surfaces from time to time(4-5 times in last 600 kms) & as per Arpan its probably because the engine is running lean & should not be a major issue.

                Planning to put Castrol Power 1 at 1500 kms

                      let me get over with CAT..and then i will test mine... btw..which oil are you using right now?

                      I am using Veedol Super Swift (Synth blend) ...vehicle feels smoother but yet to do any major ride...
