            Head to the customisation\modification thread... you will get better replies there with paint schemes and sticker! (search for it)

              Finally they charged me Rs 250 after I ask the rate card and told them it may vary in a huge amount to other places. Its written as 500 for r15,fazer and fz16 in their card.

                @Samarr : Which SC ?

                @Satyen : To top it all, he asked me why I missed a service?! That according to him is the cause for the relay's malfunction...Wonder what treatment the sbk guys get?!!

                      Hello one and all,

                      First post in this thread, just picked up a new R15 couple of days back. The prices have gone up in Andhara Pradesh (thanks to the increase % in vat). Without registration the price came to 1,12,850.

                      Its been two days and have done 285 km and couple of minor niggles so far.

                      - Too many instances of false neautral.
                      - Bik'es returning a milage of around 27-29kmpl

                      Doing a soft braking in of the engine. Keeping it below 6krpm. (i do pull it to 6k rpm on every single gear occassionally). A really good friend of mine advised me to rev the gears upto around 6k rpm n close the throttle without holding the clutch. (point made, is it helps the pistons). Is it so, if yes....please shed some light.

                      And sadly, I have lost one of the keys of bike and I am left with just one more. I need to get a spare key. How do I go about it ? I do have the key 4 digit key number with me....will it of any help if i contact the SVC nd give them the key no and they can gimme fresh set of keys ? And if yes, how much do i pay for it ?

                      Thanks and Cheers.

                          I had a hell of a time with false neutrals, but I think I got used to it or the bike came out of the false neutral stage.. lol

                          But still.. sometimes in traffic it happens.. got to learn to push the lever a little harder when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear.

                          29kmpl? You're still running her in.. give her some time.

                            @madmax 46, get the clutch adjusted, and ensure that the play on the lever is not too little or too much.

                            Also for the first few hundred kms its advised not to use engine braking ( as in using the engine for slowing down), So when you close the throttle, simultaneously, disengage the engine from the gearbox ( press the clutch ). After about 1000 kms you can start using engine braking. This is what i followed for my bike.

                              A couple of Quick bursts and engine braking is actually advised for a new engine. I did that in pulsar too and have advised the same to all my friends. It actually help a clean break in of the rings. Thats what i hope

                                ^^ ideally it should, since it puts a certain amount of pressure on the rings and they bed in most effectively, but still i avoid doing it, maybe thats just my way of running it in Moreover, most of your running in is already completed in the first 100kms... the next 900 kms are to make sure it smoothens out and beds in well, which im sure wouldve been discussed in this thread earlier, that the hard block of this bike doesnt make that easy a task.
