        Instead of gawking a question to his face why don't you try and read some posts by Joel. The guy's a genius and commands respect from even the most passionate of Indian bikers. I suggest you learn to respect that kind of expertise before you post one of your "Heya, how's the s*** yo dawg" kind of response...

        And please learn to use proper post language, we all can understand when someone is not so fluent with the English language but don't be outright rude by posting in whatever dump-site slang you adhere to, considering that you can type a proper post if you wanted to!!!!

            keep it on the footrest...keep your toe on the footrest rather..keep it in such a way that you are comfortable and can swiftly depress the brake lever when in need...
            don't keep it on the brake lever as it may lead to accidentally pressing the brake, without you noticing..

                Hi,

                just a personal thought and observation

                Sometime after running in, a bit of continuas speed bursts are needed to open up / free up the engine

                If possible, get down to near by freeway / express for some red line in lower gears .. (after which if possible change the oil)

                Secondly, please check your tire pressure and wheel free (disc pads should not be touching the plate) also visit another petrol pump than normal to switch the petrol you were using.

                Thanks..
                i completely agree with you
                even i was thinking to post about this issue
                i wonder you posted this before!

                i go for weekend speed rides
                after that what i get is a refined engine

                ^^agreed!

                • I have Ridden 2 R15s with K&N. Absolutely no increase in performance or grunt in any respect.
                  The Sound just makes you think you're going faster. Psychological.
                  I suggest, avoid it!
                  It's good, if you want your bike to sound good, but if you're expecting some sort of gain in performance, you might be disappointed.
                  This is just my personal opinion/experience. No Offense to anybody!

                        Was the jetting done on both of them?

                          How would you do "jetting" on a R15 ?

                            jetting is the procedure of changing the fuel jet to a bigger one in carburetor operated engine....In R15 jetting cannot be done as it is the fuel injected bike with ECU that cannot be reprogrammed..

                            • I earlier had a Pulsar in which I had installed the jet of the bullet and the performance increased but the efficiency decreased...One more side effect is that the engine will start to smoke after several thousand kms and will need the engine opening...
