battery dies on me ...bad honda

so whats bad with honda
my bike packed up on day 6 at gurgaon as the battrey died with out any warning
the honda guys came and fixed it the buffon charged it and of course 15 days later it dies again...finally the honda guys come to sense and change the battrey.
the honda guys very very helpful they sent the chap to the location to find the problem which turnd out that the battery did have have enough power to start the bike. he charger the battery and got it working again.


the big question is why did it happen - guess we would never know the bike has been running fine since.

Rode it last night and have starter to open the throttle a little more , normally i ride around 3-4k rpm thats 96kmph on top gear.

i have a tendency to quickly upshift the gear on the sound based on my past riding experence (since this engine sounds much faster hence the quicker shifting) aslo it make the accelration slower and more managable.



pushed it yesterday to 7k rpm on second(or 3rd-4th gear as i could not make out i drive by the sound and stuff was happening so fast) gear the front started to lift off the ground a bit, a really amazing feeling - it wasnt like a clutch wheelie pop up but it just started to lift of very gently like an aircraft taking off, i ofcourse reduce the throttel immediatly and all this at just 60kmph but at a mind numbing accelration the kind you can feel in your stomach. My mind and boday are still adapting to the

phew !!! this bike feels so much safer than my p220 as it is more stable stops faster and you can drive at 4kmph in traffic jams will much lesser strain.
on the comfort factor only the first day getting the bike back i had a little pain in the lower back and wrist but that was more because i was really tensed up, havent had that since, but then again havent ridding for more that 40km at a stretch although once that 40km took me 1.5hr.
one more thing the bike has a milage meter that shows current kmpl, average kmpl since last refile which resets every time you refuel..(that is so cool) so i am getting 14.8kmpl (this is a common question)
