I am riding a new 220F 2014 new colour model since Feb 2015. It has 1400 clocked on the odo. As I had to do a long run initially from my hometown(650 kms) I changed the engine oil with the bajaj one on odo reading 200 kms. Thereafter I rode the bike with small breaks after an hour or so at the speed of 60-75 max during that run. The engine felt quite smooth and heated less as compared to when it was brand new. The fist servicing was done but no oil was changed at 905 odo reading.
However now when I try to rev it past 5k rpm it vibrates a lot(fairing and footpegs) and feels as if its begging for mercy to slow down. I know the official run-in period hasnt been completed yet(2000kms acc to the manual). I was advised to change the oil as that might be the culprit behind the vibs, as it is still running on the run-in period’s oil. Which oil should I go for? My primary concern is getting a smooth and silky ride experience with almost no vibs at around 50-70 kmph speed. I dont race yet so acc n top sp are not my concern for the time being. I rode my friend’s same model 220f clocked at odo 3500 kms and it felt quite smooth(he had used bajaj 10000 ss oil itself). Is it because the bike had clocked more kms simply?
My riding style is amazingly good with gear shifts at 3.5-4 rpms, no hard revving, idling the engine daily for 1 min in the morning before going out and optimum clutch and brake use while riding at an average speed of 40 kmph with a 15 kms daily run . It returns an avg of 46.44 at the moment. Please reply asap. My 2nd free servicing is due soon. Sorry for the long message, I just wanted to provide you with all the info mate…:)
