Bike Condition--Stock and Well maintained ..

Changes done to my liking ..
Tires -- Michelin M45 front and rear.

Spark plug- NGK Platinum
Suspension--Stiffer springs in the front so that the nose dive stops ..
Thats all for now.
Battery- has a 9A amaron

Covered 2000 kms already in under a month .
The bike is returning a surprising good fuel efficiency of 37-40kmpl.

Likes
Bike is Torquey--Makes it fun to cruise on the highway with minimal gear shifts.
The headlight reflector spread is brilliant , Complemented with a HID , its Good to keep you at 110 kmph at night.
The braking has improved by leaps and bounds with the tyre set-up.The grip is excellent.

Dislikes
Seat is rock hard , hate it to the core.. needs some attention soon.
Vibes creep in after 100kph, On the footpegs and on the handlebar.. Its not there on my R15 even at 130kph.
Chain makes noise--- But i always have my music on , so i never hear it.

The fibre parts are all well intact , no damages , no vibes , well maintained..

Time for some mods after a few thousand kms...

Bajaj Pulsar 220 dts-I – Can we call it fastest Indian ? We had a meet on Diwali to test ride the new 09 220 dts-i. We also had an earlier version of the same bike from bajaj to do a comparo.

I start the bike and I’m welcomed with the “typical” pulsar sound. I take it easy initially to get familiar with the bike. The seating position is pretty comfortable for even a tall person. The split handle bars are comfortable, I was wearing knee guards and dint have a problem with it touching the tank. I slot it into first gear and off I go.
