          I'm getting a different note from the engine for the past 2-3 days. Ride is not as smooth as before What could be the reason?
          I got the engine oil changed 4 days back (yamalube 15w-50 semi-synthetic). Odo reading is 2800.

            thats weird nothing like that experienced in my 23K riding... well here is a list of things which you can get checked at the svc for vibrations which you are feeling:

            1. as mentioned in my previous post engine mounts & swing arms.
            2. brake pads (if they are worn out) and also check the callipers checked and the disc plate as well for any alignment issues.
            3. steering stem ( for any looseness )

            go to SVC and tell them your problem and see what they have to say and how they diagnose it and keep us updated.

            Though it is said that till atleast 3rd service that is at 6000kms you should stick to Mineral Oil, but since you have gone to semi-synthetic, I think thats the only reason. But dont worry it should come back to its original form

              What is the best way of braking the R15 when you are comfortably cruising at a speed of 100 and you suddenly see a dog jumping merely 3 feet away ahead of you. I had experienced the same in december 2010 and done panic braking and thus my bike toppled over and i landed with a left wrist fracture.

                  I do not know about these oil types. Since I had finished 2000 kms since first service I took her to SVC to get oil changed. They used semi-synthetic oil. Will using it affect the engine in any way?

                    Dear Friends,

                    I've completed 650KMs and so as per the manual, I rev past 5K rpm and less than 7.5K rpm.

                    However, I've a query, I ride to office daily which is only 7 kms from my flat, and I touch approx 72kmph @6200RPM on 6th gear [on 5th its 69-70 kmph]. But, since a few days the Radiator Fan gets ON always... is it any issue or normal due to temperature rise in Delhi/NCR.

                    Also, I'm planning to get the first servicing done before 1000kms; i.e. after approx 750-800 kms.. would it be OK?

                    Please help!

                          If i am not wrong than the ratio is 85% front and 15% rear but i am wondering are you gonna pump the brakes or just press it smoothly as you are gonna press clutch and down shift too at same time.

                              at 1 kmph you cover 3280.8399 feet (A)

                              at 100 kmph you cover 328083.99 feet (B)

                              1 hour = 3600 seconds (C)


                              so... (B)/(C) = 91.13 feet per second


                              at 100 kmph you were moving at 91.13 feet per second

                              and if the dog was just 3 feet away.


                              there's no way you could have stopped.

                              or even slowed down for that matter.

                                ^^^ absolutely... @shrinathrao: sorry to say this but the lesson that you take away from this is that you were riding way beyond your depth and were not in control for any eventuality...
