Thanx a lot guys. I have been driving LML Select II scooter for last 14 yrs. So it will take a little bit time to adjust to this new machine. Hope I will manage it. And I will need lots of suggestions from u guys to maintain this bike properly.Comment

Which petrol should I use Leaded or unleaded? What effects will it have in my bike's engine?Comment

I too graduated from a LML and needed quite a few lessons before getting my biking right. A few tips:Originally posted by rockugal View Post
* Don't short-shift. Short-shifting might have been ok on a 2-stroke Vespa, but not on a bike. You need to ensure that you are at the optimum RPM before shifting. The ideal RPM varies from bike to bike. It was 4000RPM on my Yamaha Gladiator, and it's around 5000 RPM on my CBR250. You will need some experience to figure out the ideal shifting RPM.
* Don't lug your engine - that's another common habit which gets carried over from 2-stroke riders to 4 stroke riders. Always ride above 3000 RPM
* While braking, use the front-rear brakes in a 70;30 ratio
Regarding maintenance, just stick to the maintenance guidelines in the manual and you'll keep your bike running fine.
Using regular unleaded petrol is fine.

What is short shifting? How to figure out ideal shifting RPM? What to do to avoid lug?Comment

Does your bike have a tacho?Originally posted by rockugal View Post
If not, there's no issue either. Upshift such that the engine doesn't knock. Don't use half clutch.Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.

If you don't have a tachometer (RPM meter), the best way to judge ideal RPM is from the engine note. While riding at a constant speed, your engine should emit a healthy humming sound and should not splutter. It's difficult to explain in words about the ideal engine notes but hope you get an idea - it should be a "vrrrrrmmmm" and not a "whrrrrrrrrr" (LOL, don't know how to put it across!)Originally posted by rockugal View Post
If you ride below the ideal RPM, it will be considered 'lugging". If you shift to a higher gear before reaching the ideal RPM, it will be considered short-shifting. short-shifting puts immense pressure on the engine and should be avoided in a 4S bike.Biking is not about how many Km/h you put on your Speedo.

Its giving 60kmpl in city before first servicing. Is it normal for a 100cc bike?Comment
-
The bike looks very nice. Decent.Originally posted by rockugal View Post
Yes 60-62 kmpl is good mileage for a new bike.
It will increase further after services.
Ride safe.

In the manual its given that rear tyre air should be 28 without pillion and 32 with pillion. I ride both alone and with my family. As this is my first bike I am a bit confused about the air pressure given in the manual.Comment
-
If you never ride with a pillion, you can maintain 28 at rear, as it will improve ride quality; maintain 32 otherwise (which is apt for your case).Originally posted by rockugal View PostComment
-
If you ride with a pillion for anything more 40% of your daily average, it's better to stick to the pressures as required for a pillion. In simple words, if you travel 20kms every day, and your pillion is with you for more than 8-10 kms, then stick to the pressures suggested for pillions.Originally posted by rockugal View Post
Hope that helps
