for the time being no ecu re-map.Originally posted by 2wtourer View Postand the question remains why do i race?
every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

there are 5 performance bikes to choose from....namely CBR250,CBR150,KTM Duke,Upcoming Yamaha 250cc,and pulser 200NS.out of these,the CBR250 and Upcoming Yamaha 250 are best for Highway riding, the CBR 150 will be good for both City and Highway,and KTM duke is best for City and off road riding.Pulser 200NS is good value for someone on strict budget .now this does not mean some are bad in city and others are good only on highway.....its just that they are build for specific purpose.in general they are all good....go for one that best suits your requirements.as for now it is best to play wait and watch game as the battle has just began.follow XBHp forums of all above bikes to know more details and post your questions.Originally posted by 2wtourer View Postit seems Honda has launched the new improved cbr250r at 1.45lac..

Yamaha 250 will come only in 2013 as company said ... and yeah will wait for the 150R .. but the pulsar has caught my eye ...need to get a test ride on it..Originally posted by sachin1111 View Post
but i think the KTM would be the best bet.. its an offroad sports bike so will obviously perform well, and is built for punishment..Comment

Yamaha is known for performance bikes...they have been making best looking bikes and extract maximum performance with some compromise on fuel economy where as Honda always try to maintains balance between performance and fuel economy. For city riding KTM is perfect provided you like the naked street fighter looks. I am also impressed with reviews of Pulser 200NS...as per reports they are now neck to neck with Honda in terms of Handling and Engine refinement.....now if they can prove their quality they will be game changer.Originally posted by 2wtourer View Post

hi everyone, my twister is more than a month old now
overall i feel its a good bike
( i am new to bikes, had activa and access before, so need some advice)
i have few questions
1. i am getting mileage of around 50 and i guess most of u here are getting 60+
how to improve it?
2. what should be the Tyre pressure ? only 50% of the time i ll be riding alone
how often should i check it ?
3. How often should i lubricate the chain ? which oil ?
4. Sometimes after riding for around 30-40 kms when i put to neutral in
traffic signal,then when traffic signal turns green, gear doesnt change to
1st gear, i somehow managed with 2nd gear. what might be the problem ?Comment
