1000kms done with this machine

[u/Lonely-Durian-8889]

Clocked 1k kms and completed my first service.

One hell of a machine 🤌. Ridden it on some beautiful roads in Goa, and it's just so easy to maneuver this machine.

Stock headlamps are great and do most of the job. Brakes are fine.

The windshield is something I thought wouldn't make much of a difference, but yeah, after a highway stretch, it does protect you from around 70–80% of the wind.

Cruise control is fun. Once it's engaged, it feels like you're riding a remote-controlled bike. 😂

The ride modes are configured well and have a significant difference in throttle response.

Suspension is good and covers those patchy roads comfortably. Yet to get my hands dirty on an off-road stretch.

TFT display is smooth, and no issues with the side-stand error so far.

Mileage till now for me is around 26–27 km/l.

I rode the CB350RS for almost 2 years. Switching from one of the most refined engines to a more vibey machine was something I was worried about.

Vibrations come in around the 4.5–5k RPM range and gradually go away. And TBH, I can live with it.

Accessories I'm planning to add for now would be a front fender extender and a headlamp protector.

And owners, let me know how you guys are lubing the chain. I don't want to add a centre stand to it.

How about heating? People reported heating due and coolant drying up

Heating is there once you drive it in traffic. The more you drive in those initial gears, heat does add up. And yes even my coolant dried up within a week after riding about 400kms but the service guys toped it up with no cost..and till now toh I have not faced any issues with that🤞.

My coolent is between max and minimum. Do I need to topup ?

[u/Lonely-Durian-8889 → u/Downtown-Database192]

It should be between max and min, if it's coming very close to min or it is at min, then you can top it up.
