Needs royal treatment!!(Report post 1st servicing)

One thing I realised during the runin period is that you need to be areful the way you handle it.


Things to watch out:


1) First 500 kms dont cross 2000 RPM at all gears. That ensures you remain within speed limits as specified in the manual


2) Dont ignore the importance of run in. Just follow the rules. You wil benefit in th elong run


3) Keep a close watch on oil ad fuel leaks. Fix them ASAP once you notice


4) Make sure you are always fuelled enough. I ran out of gas once. Its a LOTSAAA hard work pushing it around physically. you better be strong and fit. This one’s heavy.


5) Just dont cross 50 kph in 1st 500 kms and 60KPH in next 1500 kms.


6) in 1st servicing, make sure you have mechanic smoothen the gear shifting piece


7) Check if the fuel gauge top cover. Its of fibre. The rim on my bike flaked off alot very early.


Nazar utar lo bike ki -U get lotsa stares and subdued gasps from people when on road.


Great handling. I got a mileage of close to 44 on the Pune - Mumbai highway riding at 50-60 kph(still in run in period)


get the 3 line crashguard looks good. and you will need the protection as another boarder piinted out.


The brakes are good and responsive. No nasty surprises like in a new pulsar or karizma.


get a pair of biking gloves on long rides. The handle is a bit rough


Kick start - very smooth start.


Enjoy heaven - This ones a traffic stopper. Great for the EGO. One feels like a king nothn else


Feels like GOD - Oh yes - bullet should have picked the tagline earlier. Suits the TB not an impostor like the Avenger
