Rudra - first of all BIG apology for not jumping in here earlier. How this thread missed my attention I have no idea. I've been inactive the last few months but you should have sent me a PM man!

Anyway - sending you my contact details via PM. Anything you need to know - give me a buzz.

Any immediate help required bud? No time to go through the whole thread right now.

Ok did manage to glance through the thread and here are a few points:

1. 91 octane is just fine (Speed / Xtrapremium)
2. No need to add additives if using the above or better
3. The bike vibrates like a sex-toy plugged into a nuclear power plant - you have to tighten all the fasteners (even engine and frame mounts and under the seat etc.) every 500km. I normally get this done when I get my chain serviced at Malad showroom.


Cheers!

Sure man. You live in Belgaum right...I frequently pass by the town on the NH4. We'll meet up at Kolhapur or something the next time I ride that way. (planning a ride to some wildlife sanctuary near Kolhapur)
