The Official Pune Offline Meet(G2G) Thread

[utsavchs]

As of now, I will follow Vishwasji ...
Problems I came across with.. Exceptional reduction in Torque i.e. lower end. The sound of the exhaust is far more than the actual performance. A little high higher end (might be of the piston getting free) 111kmph (couldn't test more as ran out of road), highly reduced throttle response.

ROCKRZ I need your number cellphone number..

Any plans for a Ride this Sunday? I need a pair of gloves, as most possibly if not going anywhere then I would be atleast taking down few hundred kms.. (I just remembered about petrol)..I have to..got to...need to .. finish the 1000 mark ASAP!!

Your bike is still in run-in period and has clocked less than 1000 km so honestly I do not know how the service engineers can mess it up.

I suggest you do not take it to any other tuner / mechanic as of now. Sit with service centre guys and don't leave till all problems are sorted out.

Alternatively, ask someone else with similar bike to try your bike and confirm the problems you are facing. So at least you can confirm that the problems actually DO exist.

+1 to what vishwas said, see your engine needs to run particular kilometers before freeing up, keep her running slow, I would recommend you use within city till the first service is done, Please keep a check under what rpm you need to keep her by having a word with your SVC official person. And i dont understand in 111 kms why you took your bike to svc center normally its in first service.

If im not wrong this isnt your first bike.... . . so you mustnt be new to the running-in gyaan!!

Ideally, you should abide to the running in guidelines mentioned in your manual... (though I know how difficult it is to keep your right wrist in control). It should help in the long run. There are people who do not believe in the running-in funda as well, so you are not amongst the rare lot!!

+ for a Rtr, 111kph (where u ran out of road - so, im assuming you had some rpms left to be utilized) within 1000kms of usage should be fairly satisfactory!
How much did you want to take your bike upto btw???

Let your bike open up gradually... it helps

I am just wondering if you are following the running-in/break-in for your bike as mentioned by the company. Usually you are not supposed to cross 4000 RPM which is usually equivalent to 65 kmph in 5th gear for a Pulsar 220 DTSi. So if you did take your bike to 111 kmph, then you are not following the running-in religiously. Just wait till 1000 kms get over and then take it to what speeds you desire.

Btw, there are people who believe in hard run-in. Here is the link to the site mentioning you to do so. Break In Secrets--How To Break In New Motorcycle and Car Engines For More Power

no sagar, i meant he has rode the bike only 111kms till now.

Something wrong here. He has already been to Lavasa once. Lavasa ride works out to 140 km so even if he started with zero on odo, he couldn't have done only 111 kms till now. Pl check again.

If you are going in a car, it won't cost anything at all. After all, you are a gracious host and how can you let us share costs?

If you look at above quotes, I don't think Shrinath accidently wrote 111 kms. Yes, he might have been confused.

Fyi

I'm going to PRS, Mumbai (tardeo) and possibly Ballard Estate (where the SBKs are lying for auction) tomorrow (Sat. 22nd Jan), starting 6:30am sharp. The riding gears & bike papers rules apply as given in post#1.

Anyone interested in tagging along?

EHHH.. that was a complete bouncer... i will try refering the mentioned site for the exact details..
btw, i have a doubt... we will be expected to pay base price + import duties 110% + fine 100% on top of this, these bikes are second hand, so why get these instead of new ones?

I don't think you need to pay all of that. You just bid for a low amount and pay 12% VAT. The excise dept. will issue you a certificate mentioning it to a be a legal purchase which should help you register the bike in your name. Registration fees will be extra. It would definitely turn out cheaper.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Because new bikes are costly and these are cheap. Almost 40-50% less. Buy them, learn to ride them, if possible thrash them, scrap them or resell them and then buy a new bike!*handle with care then*
