the first service of the fireblade

so first service done oil change and washing took over 3 hr. then they ran full diagnostics for electrical.. funny all they had was a multimeter(from japan!) so cehck the battery voltage and the voltage at start that was 14.3. next they checked the rectifier (funnly the confused themselve on the location of the regulator and rectifier unit they thought it was under the tank then relized it was under the fues box after they found that they cjedk the parameters like resistance conductivity voltage (without starting the bike) .


they put everything back together only to discover ....a screw !!!! then the opend it all again to locate the lost scre which was of the coupler and RR fixed i all back tokk all of 9 hr to do this.. net result nothing wrong with electrical ..hummm must be the battery is the best they come up with..
Jaipur ride was good rather comfortable except the thighs were loaded and started to hurt after and hour or riding, guess i got to get use to that.


rand it on speed 97 and then on xtraprieumin from IOC with octane booster of STP in the ratio of 10ml per liter performance was good could not feel much of a diffrence ( most diffrence is felt on lower gear at intial acceleration) was crusing at 120-130kmph.

the road back from jaipur has become really bad with furrows in the middle of two lane due to teh truck tyers , very dangerous as the bike moves in to them and difficult to get out at high speen .

Jaipur to manaser took 3 hr then another 2hr to get to noida.

i got a suprising average of 19kmpl over the eniter journey (according to the onboard gauge reading)



the servioce cost was Rs3200 breakup is :

Labour Rs 1650/- (i think a waste considering the broke stuff then stuck parts with glue)

oilfilter was aroud Rs 900/-

Oil - honda 10w30 Rs130/- per 800ml bottle - 4 required.

plus tax.



oh and i got a HJC FS-10 helmet
