    But in slow speeds, Zma wins over R15!

    it's just a matter a good ridin postion. den d wrist pain'll go.. lower the gear shift a bit n dat'll solve d probs with gear lever.. Nothing can be really done for the rear lever..

      Hi buddy:

      Thanks for the lovable info. Do these showroom guys know how to lower the gear shift or any chance that I can do it myself ?

      Is that a slight modification or some kind of cutting/welding involved in the process ?

      Rear brake lever is manageable!

        cant recall the model man.. mentioned in my post wat all he cud comment on the filter. he was the sales guy, so probably knew less of technicalities.

        @Priyatam.. dude can you provide me with the address for Venkatesha Motors, might be visiting Hyd next month, so can get hold of it it Mumbai still delays.

            How can you say that.

              the weight of the jacket.. the fit.. personally dude i didnt find it comfortable.
              not that riding gear is supposed to be comfy, but some amount of flexibility is essential which that jacket surely barred me of.

                I haven't seen any jacket other than DSG therefore I didn't know the drawbacks of it. But yes the fit is not very good.

                    its not the speed that matters, its the RPM... keep it below 5k in the first 500 kms if you are using the conventional method of running in... refer your manual...
