    I too was getting 41-42 in city traffic, its only this run that gave me this much mileage. I had observed similar behaviour on my others bikes too i.e. usualy the bike opens completely at roughly 5k kms. Also this after I did 2nd service.

    Lets see how it goes from here

              Satish's brother drives like a good boy.

              Even Satish drives like a good boy for a lot of time but then he does play the monkey too. Ask him how much he gets regularly!!!

                i just confirmed it with my bro....he is getting 55+ constantly these days. he does ride like a good boy but if he gets mad gear shifts always happens at 10+ rpm

                The best figure i got till date was 63kmpl with the first barrel and 62kmpl thrice with the second barrel!

                worst was 28kmpl!

                    and how is it possible for the battery to weeken so fast, my bike is only 3 months old and crossed 3050 km so far, is the battery of rtr so weak in every bike ? or i am the only sufferer(and you) ?


                    my battery had its plates gone......
                    i told the sc guys this but he was like first i'm gonna check it then gonna do somethin for it......then he "checked" the battery accordin to his method and found the plates (2 in total) gone like i told him and then he replaced it.....

                    if ur battery is only workin when ur bike is "on" then ur plates are dead....

                        you need to get new mag wheels,swing arm.disc assembly,brake lever and then the labour charges...
                        its not a good idea unless someone is ready to swap rear disc assembly..

                        10k

                        it was 3000 with all the fittings no????????????????????

                          This is super cool. Anything special you use in type of fuel or additive oils.

                                10 k is what one of the service guy told me....i also think since the mag wheel and the disc assembly will cost you more than 5k.Plz correct me if i am wrong
