Nice. Hey, what's the bracket over the front mud guard??

They have to have a front license plate in India....

Certainly wrecks the look of the bike....

I guess with speed cameras in India they get twice the revenue on bikes than if they just had the rear licence plate…
Can’t see any other reason for a front plate.

Haha it’s very annoying to the point they won’t even let u keep a sticker on the windshield for registration .

I can only imagine how much drag that is causing.

YES.It certainly causes drag,looks sooo annoying and those 4 heavy bolts plus the bracket weighs close to a kilo...!!!

Yes that was just within the compound , I never ride without gloves . My observations coming from ninja 1000 , it’s running way hotter ( is it bcos it is 0 km on odo , the qs feels very Clunky ; is that how it’s supposed to be or am I applying the wrong pressure ? Thanks

The Gen3 quickshifter is known to be junk on many of them, only a few report smooth quickshifting

My understanding of breaking-in something is to try not to dwell at a certain RPM / load for prolonged periods. IE: Don't set the cruise at 60 and ride all day. Accelerate / decelerate smoothly. And change the oil.

I remember breaking in my RD after getting the engine back from Rocket, they had a long laundry list of how they would like to see it broken in....

One thing they did say was for "God's sake" don't wring it out and miss a shift......and don't lug it......but don't baby it either....

I followed the manual for the Break in procedure.

Most people just rip it straight out of the box & have not seen any problems.

Thanks I’m going the easy way , but once and only once after 250 km on odo I went all the way in 3 rd gear and let it slow down all the way

After a few heat cycles, it's broke in. I bang through the gears til red line on brand new bikes right out of the dealer parking lot. My gen 2 has 93k on it and will lay the smack down on my gen 3. Which is why my gen 3 is on the lift getting torn down to go turbo.
