    isn't the first service at 1000kms and the first break in at 800 kms?

      Thats right. The first service is at about 1000 km and first break in ends at 800. I have, however got mine serviced at 700 km and instead of the stipulated 6000 km for the 2nd service, i would get it done at 5700 km .

      PBK service guys have also told me that despite having completed about 750 km so far, I can race the bike ahead of 4000 RPM engine speed without hesitating.

      • Hey Avin, I don't think I will get my bike this week - apparently it seems that my papers have not even been sent to the RTO yet. So, sorry no Ninja for the G2G.

            Yup...I got a call today too...he was gonna send the papers now...BTW my house is in J.P.Nagar and these guys have been asking me multiple times if they can register the bike in the koramangla RTO (ka-01 number)...I am not sure what difference it would make except make it easier for the bajaj guys may be..any clues?

            • Just say yes - doesn't matter much.

              @Avin: I will drop you a pm on my plans for the G2G by tomorrow! There might be some 31st plans from my company, and I will come to know today.

              • Protective Gear

                Guys..

                Need your advice on Protective Gear... I checked some at the Orion outlet in Koramangala, Bangalore.

                They have Alpinestar Leather Jackets worth 10k and Planet DSG mesh Jackets around 6.5k..

                Although the Leather jackets looked gr8... but I am worried if they would suit Bangalore weather, especially afternoons.

                Another thing... is it better to buy the Alpinstar here or ask my friend to bring it from the US.

                  Well.. the leather jackets or the DSG ones both will fry you during the day.
                  However the DSG ones also have protection ,so they save you in a crash.
                  Its always better to have gear that would save you in a crash.

                  IF you are getting stuff from the US then i'd suggest you get good ones that have protection.


                  @bluevolt: sure thing mate.

                  • Whatever you go for, make sure it has CE approved protectors on shoulders, elbow&back. Material&fit are personal choice. DSG/Cramster both have them.

                          Consider buying Knee protectors as well. They are very useful. You can consider buying Textile jackets and not the leather ones (Alpinestar or DSG) so that they wont fry you in the heat and will be water resistant.

                              I hope you talked to the pro-biking guys and not khivraj ppl.... the guy from Khivraj told me my bike will be ready by 1 tomorrow (had called me to ask for teflon coating) while the regn papers were sent only today so not sure what he meant...

                                I called the Pune PBK. They told that they are not delivering bikes during Dec end to avoid 1 year old registration just for 1 week. They said they will start delivering the bikes in 2nd week of Jan
