    so does this mean that if given the length...the bike should (ideally) manage a higher speed limit...right ?
    Theoretically, yes. I think the problem for lower speed might be with shifting RPM. He could better his previous speed of 128 achieved in sixth gear, if he Red lines the bike in 5 gear.

    Reason ? A stock bike can do speeds of 128+ with stock sprockets.

      hi ppl,


      Gonna get my baby tomorrow from ORION ..phooph its been a long wait (1 month) . Iv booked a black one and have ordered for a teflon coating as they told me for 400 buks i can get it done thrice in 3 months. I'm also thinking on getting a couple of other accessories..dont know what their names are (but one is to with the exhaust), an R15 jacket..it was a black one and priced at around 4K (upwards)..and yeah..i got a CROSS helmet for 3K from JC road and the same thing is priced around 5K in ORION ..maybe I'll go down to the showroom and post the pics here so that u guys can have a better idea.

      any other things I should keep in my mind before taking the plunge..

        ^ Teflon coating is nothing but waxing or they will be using a paint sealant.
        I mean that is what being done in 99 % of the places.
        Ask him to show what compound he is using to coat your bike. Lets check.

          ^ Congrats!! Gloves really help, especially in the initial period.Try the store on top of Orion, they've got A-Stars and DSG gloves..

          Jacket...try and go for a bright coloured one...a black jacket is not advisable on the highway...

          Enjoy your ride and have fun!

              Also when shifting from 5th to 6th, make sure you red line the bike first.

              Yup, ideally the top speed should increase, provided the bike has pulling power at that range.

              To reach a higher speed on the R15, one has to crouch properly behind the windscreen. So you can imagine that at that speeds, your max speed attained is governed a lot by the kind of wind patterns you encounter, because the bike is mainly now fighting the wind resistance nothing else. i think the tall gearing reduces the overall pull at that rpm and thats why the bike is not going higher.

                  Dude..i just assume your joking
                  but if your serious...it doesn't work....the exit point of fuel from the fuel tank is in the middle...thus tilting doesn't work.
                  The only thing is that once the bike stops...wait for a minute or two before attempting to start again. The fuel on the walls of the tank comes down and you might just be able to restart it for another few sec (5-8 approx,personal experience)
                  and if not...its only 130kg approx...not much of an issue draging it to the nearest gas station
                  Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.

                    Am not Joking man, that was exactly the thing which i did today.

                    The fuel indicator completely went down and the bike gargled and came dead. Theni left the bike in side stand for a min and switched on and i was able to see the blinking fuel indicator in the last point. I repeated this crazy act to get my bike to the station.

                    The problem is, after all this, the bike started to feel harsh and tight.

                        GP freak , by doing that u may have chances of getting dirt into the injectors
                        2. getting an air lock .

                        Starts or not is not important to me :-)
                        Extent of possible damage is important.

                            Humm. I think that has exactly happened to my bike. The bike is very sluggish and loses power above 100 and very less power in 5 and 6th gear...

                            Ok. Now how to rectify it guys ? What are the things that has to be cleaned ? Fuel filter ? Throttle body ? Injector ?
                            Btw, what is the cost of the injector ?

                              U will also have to check that ur pump is not damaged due to dry running.

                                Thats why I don't take chances with the fuel-the pump costs Rs.7K!
