            • Free play in the Front brake.

              Could anybody please help me with the adjustment of the play in the front brake lever? Now the front brake only comes into effect when pressed almost half of the full lever movement.

                  My 75% riding is on highway and 25% on urban roads.
                  Speeds are as:- Urban 60-80
                  Highway: 90 to 110
                  I never got figure above 42 after running in.
                  Only once i rode along with my dad(he was on victor and i was on RTR) and i got 58 kmpl. Had to ride at 55-56kmph.

                  Last week finished with major service. Work distibuted over 3 sundays. Now i am getting near to 48kmpl on my regular riding i.e. 25% urban and 75% highway with speeds mentioned before.

                  FYI: i am running BS-29 carb

                  that play cannot be adjusted. If its increased, bleed the brake. If going to change fluid, switch to DOT4.
                  There's lot to it other than saddle....

                          Wow that's a big difference....I guess the pillion rider has something to do with it..
