Does your service manual recommend a 4k service interval which includes an oil change? I noticed that the oil used is a fully synthetic one which is not cheap. Swapping out synthetic oil every 4k kms for normal road riding is absurd. Do let us know. |
Thanks Ranjit. Apologies on the late response.
Owner's Manual says the following - Replace engine oil at:
1. Within first 2 months or 1000kms, whichever comes first
2. 12 months or 6000kms
3. 24 months or 12000kms
and so on every 6K Kms
Oil Filter to be replaced at first 1000kms and next at 18000kms only Quote:

..Not sure how good it'll be for the "not so ideal" roads we face daily. Maybe Sats can comment on this. I felt the clutch was slightly on the heavier side compared to the Street Triple and the Z. Overall I feel that the bike is totally worthy for that price. |
Bike does not get unsettled easily on not so ideal roads. Have ridden over the rural back roads in a drizzling weather with TC set at 3, it did not matter much. This his where the weight of the bike helps and it's stable. Even when you hit a slight bad patch suddenly when doing high speed runs.
Clutch is a bit heavy especially in bumper to bumper traffic as it does not have a slipper clutch /clutch assist. On highways you would not notice it.
Bike continues to perform well. Have added a couple of safety accessories from Puig - Frame Sliders and Front Fork Silders. Waiting on the Radiator Guard and Rear Swingarm Spool/Sliders. Quote:

Now that you've done about 1,000 odd Kms, how do you compare this bike to other 600-800s out there?
Any Highlights and Lowlights?
Cheers,

Thanks Amey.
Race derived and tested engine is the trump card compared to other 600 -800's.
Pros: Creamy inline 4, stable bike, RPM Assist and TC helps. Dual channel Nissin ABS helps drop anchor real good. Will not scare you and the power is usable. Offcourse the exhaust note post 5K and 7K rpm's is to die for even with the stock exhaust.
Cons: Sporty riding position but you can move around the seat plus offset Handlebar risers and a gel seat would help in touring. Weight of the bike at standstill and bit heavy clutch in traffic. Have to see after a few 1000kms on how the clutch loosens up. NOTE FROM T-BHP SUPPORT: Please avoid submitting back-to-back posts.
