      @ramesh,Most shops have studs as they are cheaper & are of good quality. To find a dealer,just google for helmet makers website,& search for their dealer network on their website.

            Thanks for suggestion guys I got 2 helmets one is Motocross MC1 Gliders and others is a Honda Studds(from showroom). One is for the pillion. I have clocked 310km on my odo. Mileage is around 62.5kmpl. I am not concerned as of now as 1st service is not yet due. Yesterday I took the bike for a long ride to Adasa on SH248. After Nagpur city limits I was riding constantly at 40kmph in top gear with practically no downshifting/braking so hope to get a good average by the time I hit reserve. Any suggetions /commnets on this? Also on my front mud guard I see the paint a littlle raised and on a rivet kinda head will post photos.. is it the paint cracked or a rivet benath it? Bike washing is done alternate days (As its rainy season) not by pressure hose but mop and bucket of water... Balancing is xcellent even on wet roads thin rear tyre is never giving problems....

              It's ok to wash to remove mud & crud now ... but don't wet the bike this much (alternate days) in dry season . Don't ride constantly in the same gear & speed .. go through the gears and vary the speed often .. even on empty stretches ... use gradual engine braking as much as possible , instead of front & rear brakes . You'r doing good by not using pressure wash .. mop & bucket is good . Change engine oil (cheapest mineral oil) at least once by 400-500 kms .. then again at first service .

                Thanks for the tips Pinaki ji.. will keep this in mind. I am planning to get Genuine Honda engine oil from the dealer. 20w40 as this is what suits Nagpur climate. extereme hot in summer and extreme cold in winters.

                    fybercyber both my helmets are full face with good ventilations .. thanks for the tips....I ensure I take every precaution that I can from my end... I guess next weekend my bike will be up for first service.... Yesterday I called Honda HQ to register a strong protest as I have not got a English manual and about the tool kit I got with the bike. They are couriering a english manual and a enhanced tool kit today

                              Hey Sachin.. Thanks for uploading the English Manual.. Have been struggling with the Hindi Manual for the past year..

                              However, Scribd is not letting me download the file until I upload something in return. Can you upload the document in some other file sharing site like dropbox??? Maybe if you can mail me the file, I can create a dropbox link which will be free to download always..




                              PS:For anyone who wants to read the english manual.. The link is Owner's Manual Twister

                                You yourself know the answer... slowing down too much... and as you said its improving i wish it improves faster and you feel confident. Dont try to lean until you are fully confident of yourself and the bike.
                                enjoy and ride with a smile
                                Cheers
