    Any issues? Public response? Owner satisfaction or complaints?

    Happy riding
    Yes there is . No body is commenting on this ownership thread these days . I have a doubt , regarding the Tyre pressure , the manual says 29 psi for front and 33 psi for the rear. The show room dealer told tat every month I have to fill air at 30 psi for front and 40 psi for the rear . Whenever I go petrol bunk to fill petrol , the bunk staff used to fill the bike tyres at 25 psi for front and 35 psi for rear . It is still confusing whether to learn from manual , or showroom or petrol bunk

      Manual it is.
      29 F
      33 R
      Showroom wants you to have superb fuel efficiency so that you'll not complain about buying a sportbike and not getting splendor like FE(that's for 90% of the Indian riders).
      Petrol station guy will fill a CT100 with 25 F and 35 R and the same pressure for Volvo truck too.
      They are programmed to follow what comes in their mind first.
      Manual is the one that takes care of everything - tyre life, grip, fuel efficiency, less wear and tear, optimum drag etc etc.
      Plus this is summer time so I'll advice you to drop to 28 F and 32 R.

      The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place. It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.

        I agree with the above comment too. Go with the manual and use your own reasoning rather than service centre and especially not the petrol bunk guy

        Happy riding

          Go with the manual, although if your rear is RevZ S, I'd suggest you go with 35 at rear as that tyre loves high pressure. I have the same tyre on my P220.

            Yes! I will stick to manual as requested by you ....

            The engine is running rough when I ride at 4.5 rpm .. ie 60 kmph .... I expected yammie will be smooth ... but it looks like as if I am riding my same p150

              That's new. Yamahas are generally butter smooth. Question: is it rough throughout the rev range or just that particular 4.5 k mark?

                Thank god! You've not bought the v3, the v3 and mt are more rougher than v2. After test riding mt 15 , i loved my hornet even more ( smoothness is better in honda!)

                      Are you rev matching while shifting gears? If it's something off I'd recommend you to get it check by service guys.
                      Also can you record that and post a video?

                        How to record it ... I think it’s dangerous to record while riding the bike . I am riding the bike as
                        1-10 kmph - 1st gear
                        10-20 kmph - 2nd gear
                        20-30 kmph - 3rd gear
                        30-40 kmph - 4th gear
                        40- 50 kmph - 5th gear
                        And above 50 kmph 6th gear

                          Recording by either action cam, friend sitting pillion, etc., Nevermind that though, in some bikes there's a particular point in rpm where they act rough or viby but not something to make it bothersome. While your engine is new and the piston kit is still setting in, it's not supposed to cause issues. I'd suggest you take it to service centre.
                          Oh btw, very important, don't always keep a very low rpm, that's not good for a new engine. What's the maximum rpm you've touched? You crossed 300 km now.

                            Maximum 4.7 rpm ... yes I have crossed 300 kms !!! Is that good !!! Manual says up to 5 k rpm

                              On my bike I increased the rpm range by 1.5 k every 300 KM's. It's upto you which method you follow, give it time and it will smoothen out. When I was doing this process, let's say raising to 5k rpm, at first it was like fought, I'd accelerate to 5k in 6 th gear then lower speed and keep doing it that way for like 40-50 KM's, then I'd let the bike rest for say 10-20 mins, have a subway then I'd take all the gears to 5k rpm, end result was that it started out a little rough and then it smoothened out so well that I was convinced that touring was gonna be a breeze.

                              Moral of the story: don't lug in the low rpm range for too long, you want to set the engine, let it set in all conditions that it is supposed to be running in.

                              Happy riding

                                Don't worry! It'll get smooth over time, v 2 has a smooth engine, i am 100% sure [emoji4]
