      I live in the Dominican Republic (The Carribean) and they have no manuals.
      They have sold quite a few of these bikes here so far but service as you know it there is non-existent.

      Guess wondering about the usual things to look out for/do during my first 1000 kms (am at 500 now).

      Thanks for the lighthearted response - cool.

        Fine. Dont cross 4k rpm for the first 2k kms. Be easy on the throttle.

        Since u have done 500 kms, u can change ur engine oil. It helps.

        Let the engine complete it s run in. Most of ur issues would be sorted out by then.

          I didn't know our beloved bike is being sold in the Dominican Republic! Where else is it available?

            Seems a bit hard not to go over 4000rpms - and find breaking in a motor is good to have a bit of city/highway riding mixing the revs.

            Am hoping most of the rattles will be dealt with after the break in period.

            Would like a bit more punch out of it too since I am 6' and almost 200lbs.

              Yes. Ocassional throttle blips are okay.

              Is urs the Fi or the Carbed one?

                          Renny, am telling this time and again. The RTR is a LOT more fun to ride than the R15. Besides am not a fast rider man!

                              they're little short than tht RTR's pegs but i love their looks...
                              they're not at all slippery too...

                              but i've to attach those spring to them to make them retractable....

                                wat to do

                                i have completed my runin.. its 1100 kms now. so i started giving throttle till 60kms. and was happily riding till i saw one FZ.. ops!!! i gave throttle Apache moving very slowly in initials. i never thought the response would b so slow. its so slow that in another signal i hit first gear and move.. there goes honda activa crossing my Fi and it was no way possible to catch.. . i dont think the response would b so slow. i know it cant b the RTR Fi problem. may b specific to my bike.

                                my bike response is too slow. is it time to goto to service center again. Any inputs would b fine. engine cries hard ven i give throttle. and when i slow down from 60 to 0near speed breaker therez a big sound from silencer as a cracker.. help me..
