@aswin - wait till 3rd service... for me also the mileage was bad between 2nd and 3rd service.... once went down to 32-33 roughly... at 3rd service tell them about it. There could be variety of reasons for low mileage - incorrect AFR, loose chain, air pressure, riding style etc...
AFR and chain - get them checked at SVC
Air - better fill Nitrogen... its good and pressure lose is less. I've only filled N2 in ma ride, and that too only 4 times in 6 months...
Riding style - I cannot comment on that... coz whatever way i ride, my mileage doesnt drop below 38... and I dont think you ride in such a way as to affect mileage so badly...

finally..... dont worry too much... machines malfunction all the time... its just a matter of tightening the right bolt

has anyone seen the new santoor ad. i think the guy in that uses a cbr150. looks that way.

[2fazt4ya]

done that....waiting for their responses....

Ask them to retune/clean the carb, spark plugs. Clean air filters too... I dont think SVC people do these even for the free services!

Yeah.... I was like "no it cant be..." and thought it was a modded pulsar at first.... But its the CBR itself!

P220 need 1150ml engine oil for engine and exta oil cooling system. that means you have to buy 2x 1ltr bottles. well before going to fully synth u hve to get use of semi synth..Try valvoline semi synthetic blend 1ltr for Rs271/- It is gud but watch you will loose the smoothness within few days...then change to fully synth motul 15x50 300v. I have a half bottle of valvoline semi synth oil unused...if you buy 1ltr I am ready to give u half ltr for free Just go pongumood oil shop and ask for 1 ltr valvoline 4t premium synthetic blend(u can see ricky ponting certified sign infront of the bottle)

wow thanks...so valvoline it is...but how long wil it last...i mean...how many kms roughly?? can we change to fully synthetic so fast...i mean...we've to wait till 10k kms or something right??

Hope you have completed 4000km...then just fill the semi synthetic for another 1000km then switch over to motul

you could have got that from amba itself. i guess there wont be any price difference for that . its arounf 550bucks here.

Its not available right now here... coz FZ's iridium 9 has released recently... i don't have that much difference in price coz have ordered in bulk(3 pieces for friends), so the shipping charge will be divided between the three...

I fill from the same place.. but I'm happy with it... pressure lose is very less... in two months the drop is less than 3 points...

1) Can you please guide me there, ie. directions.

2) Directions for Ex-Jawan too please, I looked in PH rd. today, but didn't find. Im bad at finding stuff while riding.

3) I need a torque wrench, anyone, please suggest a shop.

4) I also have some paintjob / touch up work to do. Please suggest a shop with good workmanship. I need a full black paint job on the front fork outer tube, the silver step holders, and touch up for Wheel edges, Frame near Batt. compartment, engine. They have scratches, batt acid damage, paint peeled off.

[akhilmuraleedhar]

There is a street painter at Museum side...Just take a left turn in front of Trivandrum corporation office and go thru the road to cliff house. you can see a small painting shop left side after the kanaka nagar. and right side you can see a car accessory shop as a marking

It is a small painting shop and he is doing the alloy wheel painting..engine painting etc etc with cheap cost. Very affordable..I am planning to change golden colour for my disc caliper and stock alloys
