    • MY Angel (thats how I have named her) finished her 32k kms, she is still riding good and touring along with me absolutely fine as well. Though there are few things which I feel:

      1. the clutch seems to be loosing its power a bit.
      2. the monoshock is getting a bit stiff.
      3. rims either needs replacement or alignment.

      the good things about her which I have felt:

      1. she still rides in any surface beautifully (offroad, mud and ofcourse tarmacs)
      2. on some morning drags she still touches 146kmph
      3. the handling of the bike is the same as it was the first time.

      I just took her for a 3 day 1200kms trip in Himachal, in November. She returned an average of around 40kmpl, and also in sub-zero temperature just with one click she was warming up her engine.

      Now I had got the swingarm and cone set lubed at 16k kms, I am thinking to change all the fluids in next servicing which would include - brake fluids, coolant, engine oil. Also Ia m thinking to get the swingarm checked, if the bearing are good then lube it or else change the bearings. About the clutch I was first thinking to put in 20P1's clutch set up, but after discussion with few workshop managers they said not to. So kindly mentors and seniors advice me on it.

        Anyway I am getting a small noise like scratching metal after changing the pads but as it comes between 5-6k rpm, I don't think its caused by the pads.
        any ideas?

        I have been having the same problem though the sound disappears for sometime after putting 2 drops of oil on the speed sensor (The part at the end of the LHS front fork where the sensor is located). Hope this helps!
        A longer term solution would be (1) getting the sensor part opened up and serviced (2) replacing it.

        • Hi everyone,

          I am observing from last some days when i am riding on 70-80 kmph on straight road i find the rear Tyre is loosing its grip though it has good treads left in it, and there is no puncture or anything, also i saw while taking corner the bike vibrates right fro0m the cone set to the entire tail.

          Any idea what to check, my blue devil is 14k kms and 1 year old.

          Please advice what to check.

                          +1 paul In fact i saw the mileage figures improved a bit better after using gtoil.

                          @ Raneet - the from alloy is 3000/- rs, no idea about the V2 alloy but V1 was costing 3000/- rs.

                          @ shivanshu - congrats on the achievement. RIDE SAFE

                            How about some conclusive evidence to back your claims? This would make a difference, real world and independent testing etc. How about you give some freebies to a few forum members, who are willing to give the product a test and an honest review?

                            Beware of Bread, don't say I didn't warn you!
                            More than 98 percent of convicted criminals are bread eaters !
                            Statistics show that more than 75 % of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread !
                            Bread is known to be extremely addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water, actually begged for bread after just two days !
                            Bread has been proven to kill. Scientists have now uncovered alarming evidence that 100% of the people who eat bread will eventually die !

                                It should not be more than 600 unless its broke from completely inside as i think there are 2 joints in it.
