That "my dad has no idea why the car runs smoother after I take it out for a drive" hits the bullseye for me.. 😂
Hehehe
the start of the video is hilarious.. Kartik says "Kya hogaya?" and Shumi answers "I was just waiting for you to finish". In a funny way, Shumi lets his critics know that their feedback has been taken 😄
:-)
And, hello VP!
Those who read read comments know exactly what happened here😅
Kartik missed a great opportunity to say, "That's what she said"!
That was hilarious 😂
I read this comment exactly when the video started and timing was impeccable
Suggestion - Guys please cover the customer's right to repair factor while reviewing the vehicles. Some companies don't provide OEM parts to customer.
Hey Vardaan! That’s a great suggestion.
@@motorinc insert 28% GST levied on entry level 2wheelers, for added spice!
*ahem* *ahem* Honda *ahem* *ahem* 😂.....By the way, Nice Name 😂
Yea, faced that with Honda and Royal Enfield. Although RE issue could be limited to my dealer but Honda is always a pain.
Yessss!!! As someone who enjoys wrenching on the bike pretty much as close to riding it is possible, I +1 this suggestion
I would love a This connect episode of when you inevitably fall/crash on your bike.
-What do you do when you crash?
-When somebody has rear ended you?
-How to go about dealing with the other party when it's your/their fault?
-What is all the paperwork you should ask/give?
etc.
Thanks for the suggestions Arth!
@@motorinc yes please do this, recently a friend had crashed in pune, a few villagers came and started demanding 35k for treatments etc, went to hospital and got treatment for both people under 8k.
Please do a detailed video on what to do after a crash.
Suggestions for podcast
1. What to do in case of a crash?
2. Your worst experiences on automotive- crashes, bad service, stolen items or any other horror stories.
3. How to modify bikes or cars
4. Talking about the journeys of various companies in India
5. How to go off road
6. Newest market trends
7. Electrification of motorcycles- challenges and merits
8. Riding gear
9. A rant on the licensing Norms in India- should we also need a1 and a2 licenses
10. Your lives as automotive journalists- challenges and milestones
11. Marketing strategies of companies
12. Financing a new motorcycle- loans, reasonable interest rates and other things to keep in mind
13. Types of insurances and what to choose etc.
I think Shumi should redo all the PD simplified concepts in a podcasts manner, in conversation with Karthik
Thanks Anand! We’ll stop brainstorming. Hehe
@@motorinc😂❤
Anand bhai being too enthu!
When i got my Interceptor, (recommended running in for 500 kms, not exceeding 4k rpm), i was advised by many people to space the running in over a week. But these were all old bulleteers, used to the cast iron, and the aluminum lean burn engines in the classics and Machismos. The 650 unit has been well reviewed and i was buying it 5 years after launch, by when, niggles, if there were any, would have been ironed out. So the morning after taking delivery, i had a leisurely ride to Agra and back (i am in Delhi), and the following day i was at the service centre for the first service, with 530 kms on the odo. so a thought for RE owners particularly... the newer machines are a world apart from the ones your dad used to ride; or if you are an old traveller like me, from the ones you used to ride in your youth. Evolve.
Uncles think they know more than you do by default :P
Engines are kind of ran in these days.
Excellent BR! Great to read that!
I just picked up my Shotgun yesterday (first on sold here in Arizona!) and had to ride 125 miles / 200 kilometers from Phoenix to Tucson. So, I have a day o two of riding here in town and then a ride back to Phoenix to the dealership and the run-in is done.
Sounds awesome Michael! Congratulations and we hope you have a superb ride!
The smell of new pulsar which Kartik mentioned brings back all the memories and the constant fear I had for first 1000 odd kms when I had got my 150. So damn accurate 🤣🤣
😆😆
What kartik described for his friend is the ryan f9 method. Ride ‘normally’ but have bursts to the red line to ensure the fluids reach all the extremities occasionally. Also i run through all the gears at the recommended rpm. I did this on my ktm 390adv - the advantage there is 6k rpm (run in limit as per the manual) gets the bike to 120 kmph! So run in didn’t really feel restricted at all :)
On the other hand, Shumi's a lot more relaxed about this. There's _no way_ to really damage an engine even if you exceed the rpm limit here and there.
@@motorinc ya that makes sense
I mean RyanF9 is a kid; I had done this to all my motorcycles since antiquity. An engine is built to run through the rev range, and ideally deliver peak power at a certain RPM; and every engine needs to be pushed to those levels during the break in period
@@VRdoingeverything yep. However all sales guys say otherwise - “keep it under 80” is the general advice given when buying any new motorcycle.”
I just encourage my wife to drive more often so that the "throat is clear" and the engine goes through it's entire rev range. I'm a hypermiler whether city or highway, engine always between 1800-2000rpm (car) and 3.5k-4.5k rpm (162cc motorcycle). I don't drive; I operate a machine whose sole purpose happens to be to extract the maximum efficiency from all components whether mechanical or electrical. In simple parlance, I have OCD. 7 years later and I'm still on the first set of brake pads.
Honest confession, Apart from gaining good insight on auto world,off late I am tuning in to this channel to have good night 😴. Earlier I used to take doc prescribed meds for sleep due to insomnia. Been 2 weeks no meds😊. My fav videos are Sonet, elevate and husky Varna. Amazing conversation and superb white noise 😴😴.
From an auto knowledge perspective you folks are the best. Hope to hear more from you folks. 😊
Hey Aniket, super happy to hear from you. That’s a tough one and glad we could be there with you. All the best! And much love.
Great that you figured out the specific videos. Please like this comment so I can come back at night when I need these haha
This isn't a joke, i play motor inc videos and my gf sleeps like a baby
@@ishitsompura mostly all videos. However I highly recommend sonet, elevate and Husqvarna. Reason being these guys actually converse in a very calm way and no edm playing in background.
@@shreevari don't we all? :)
Damn brother.
You all have solved all my issues with This connect episodes.
The fact that kartik stopped shumi from teasing us about the topic and start giving the information was commendable.
Kartik and Shumi are really a great fit for each other and I am glad that they started this channel for all of us enthusiasts.
Thank you.
Heya again RT! Thanks for making our day!
"This" is the perfect way to "Connect" to the community by addressing some of the issues we face as a bike/car community. I'm happy for the second season & looking forward to discuss many more exciting topics here!
Also, since the next episode is going to be Japanese, let's discuss who there were dominating every motorsport before & now that the Europeans have taken away their domination, they don't seem to know what/how they dominated in the past. Also, Suzuki has pulled out of MotoGP & Honda - Yamaha are struggling to recapture their past glory while the Ducati's & the Aprilia's are dominating the MotoGP.
Hey Arun! You seem to have an inside line here at MotorInc! 😁
@@motorinc 😀🙏🏼✨
Near my home there is a big bike stock yard....and in the way there is a road side tea stall which I often visit.....and i noticed from stock yard to show rooms they disconnect tachometer wire and drive it crazy speeds with weird sounds coming from it (i am assuming not using proper gear for that speed). Sometimes those showroom guys stop at tea stall that is where i observed disconnected tachometer
Ouch! Great point M!
First vehicle, honda unicorn 2012, i ran in like a noob, ofc advice from senoirs, constant 40-50kmph, but it was very smooth for that time, loss of performance around 2018, then covid happened, it sat there for long time, now 2024 it has lost performance, loose piston ring i assume or timing chain issue, it does spit smoke out, still not convinced to buy new bikes, it handles too well even to current standards(planning to make it a rebuild project), im still searching for that balance of sporty and practical, (not expensive😅). My polo, i just ran in with smooth acceleration, engine brake,I believe learnt from a british driving instructor yt channel, he's quite knowledgeable, he taught how to properly use a clutch, i mean properly, without burning too much of it (Richard Flanders).
Thanks CS for sharing that with us! That Unicorn chassis is beautiful!
Great video guys, appreciate the content
Run in for me goes like this:
First 50kms, easy acceleration, engine braking, no prolonged idling, go through all the gears (under 40% revs), give the engine a break every 30-45 mins
Next 100-150kms, easy acceleration, engine braking, taking the revs a little higher than before (in the top three gears, under 60% revs)
Until 500kms, vary the acceleration, get a feel for the engine's power, up to 80% throttle inputs a few times, still majorly relaxed
After the first oil change and letting things settle for a few kms, drive normally now interspersed with enjoying full throttle inputs up to 80% revs (in the middle gears only), no top speed runs
After the second oil change, it's a free engine, redlining fine
First oil and filter change at 500kms for bikes and 1000kms for cars
Second oil and filter change at 1500kms for bikes and 5000kms for cars
Brakes applied only gently for the first 50 or so kms
Roughly that's how I do things, how much it makes a difference I will not claim. But the engines do sound healthy and happy when revved and make plenty power with no issues to report :)
The podcast comes exactly 10 days after I complete my first service on my 400X 😂 not complaining, I love that you guys are back, just laughing about it
Congratulations on the new garage friend Arpit!
Cheers!
Haha same for me 10days back had first service on my new Seltos... 700 kms yet though
About to service my scrambler 400x 😂😂😂😂
Let's gooooooooooooooo
Been waiting for ages
I had watched season 1 on repeat atleast 4 times
Its awesome to hear you guys out and try and implement the tips which you share into our experience with our vehicles
Thanks for help young riders who discover you so early
Always pleasure to see you on Sundays
Thanks for making our Sunday a bit brighter Kshitij! Thanks!
I haven't found any other automotive content on the internet that creates such a connection with the audience like you guys do.
Its like getting the answer of every little question that I had on my mind related to these things.
Thank you @arunanshughosh6620!
Hello!
Please do an episode on how to maintain a vehical over the years especially what needs to be taken care of while servicing the vehicle. Things like what part needs to be changed after how many kms, how to identify issues while riding/driving and things that we need to keep in mind while riding/driving.
If you guys have already done a video on this then please share the link.
Thank you!
Shumi's imitation of the engine " hehe now you are screwed" was phenomenal. 8:19 is the timestamp
I was laughing straight for two minutes.
Remain this way everyone.
❤
Hello again! Hehehe
@@motorinc sorry my comments for the day are over
@@rishithotchandani7376 Good one bro...
Just woke up
Opened YT
Sees MotorInc Video Dropping
Makes my day
Edit: The new background is really great
Morning Mayank!
I just brought a Suzuki Vstorm 250 yesterday by my blind faith in Shumi's review.. now today you guys dropped in this video of how to break in your motorcycle.. 😭
I m so happy feels like you guys are a connected part of my motorcycle life...
Congratulations Anant! We are glad to be a part of this journey with you.
you both just provide clarity, and so much discipline with fun and humour its just lovely.
Awesome. Glad we could be of help Omkar. And thanks for taking time to chat.
Use of co-ordinates in the background is a brave move.
What those means?
😄
Guess what's here , THIS CONNECT. I sometimes listen to it on Spotify sometimes watch it on UA-cam but I will see/hear it some way or the other
Morning TB! Good to know!
You gotta love these guys. No other podcast or UA-cam sessions are as engaging as theirs ❤❤❤ When you see the notification coming in from Motorinc on a Sunday you know your weekend's going to end in the best possible note 😁
Wow, thank you NC! ❤️
I have RR310 and till first service(after 800-1000km) the bike is locked in low power mode with RPM limit. So I didn't have to worry about "break-in period". I love this approach where manufacturer takes away any anxiety and worry about the new engine
Ahh! Interesting!
Question - Can you guys talk about the impact of Tyre sizes on vehicles? Lately there are a lot of vehicles (cars) offering different wheel sizes, across variants. Given that the chasis is the same, why not have the same tyres across resulting in similar performances and also leading to lesser complexity for the manufacturers to handle.
Also, finally it's here! It's so good to see these two bantering!
The "kya ho gya" in the beginning, and shumi's sly smile to it!
Followed by the warranty bit of "hehe now you are screwed", loving it!
Also, +1 on Karthik's process, if not anything it just helps me understand the pulse of my bike/car, where I know how it would react in any situation, and not left guessing.
Hey Ajinkya, Have you checked out the "Choose Carefully" film in the members section? Might be what you want. But, we'll make a not of this too! Thanks!
@@motorinc hey I did check the video out, it helped to a certain extent although still left me a bit confused.
Is there a "one solution fits most" kind of relation with Tyre sizes and Car types (sedan/hatchback/suv/coupe...)?
Also, thank you for the quick response!
I have never been the type to comment things out, but you guys make me feel connected! Thanks team!
As The Rock would’ve said, “Finally This Connect has come back to OUR SCREENS”!
And…. 🤨
And… I would like to see an episode on cold starts as well.. A guy I know was cleaning his RS 200 early morning and he took around ten minutes to clean it while his engine was idling.. I asked him why was he leaving it on idle for so long, he replied he’s cold starting it..
Edit: Agree with the character thing! I didn’t pay much attention to the break in period and now I get compliments from everyone about my exhaust note!!❤
44:30 i agree with u kartikeya, I was 6 years old, My father had brought a brand new Pulsar 150 dtsi home, and i distinctly remember the smell of the paint burning off the exaust......recently I was travelling and that smell came again, Nostalgia fsfs
🤜🏽🤛🏽
Thanks guys for bringing ThisConnect! back.
As you both mentioned today's precision manufacturing just requires you to run the vehicle sanely till the first service, and I have followed the same for all of my last 3-4 vehicles cars and bikes included. And did not face any issues for the 40-50k kms driving and riding those
Glad to hear that @ronyrulez29!
Got my MT 15 last week. The timing of this video couldn't have been any better
can I ask you something
1. What are planning to do about the pillion seat?
2. I find the headlight is not bright enough, have you found it good enough or am I right about that?
@@abhisheka2305
I previously owned a BS4 Duke 125. So to be honest the pillion seat on this is even better than that, so I'm not concerned about it. For my purposes it does the job.
The headlight is definitely not that bright. Initially when I got the bike, high beam was pointing to the sky and low beam felt very weak. Then I discovered that you can easily adjust the height of the headlight using a screwdriver. So I adjusted it and now it works much better, although it's not the brightest. I guess I'll have to live with it
Congratulations Ashray!
Same
I got my Vitpilien 250 last week.
Glad to see the best motoring podcast back again! Missed you guys throughout the break as i went back and watched a few episodes twice but it's always a treat to have these two legends converse and have discussions on camera! Cheers and have a great season ahead :)) Much Love🫶🏻🙌🏻
Glad to be back with you all too! Thanks for waiting!
I have run in 4 bikes till now with number 5 coming next week. I basically just ride normally. If I ride usually at say 100%, during break-in I'd just ride it at 75-80%. And till now that seems to work just fine for me. I also get the first service done around 200km before the first service is scheduled.
I agree here that while one shouldn't really redline the engine, but there's no reason to be overly scared during this period. Just enjoy your new bike.
This was an awesome talk and I'm really excited for the next episode of ThisConnect, glad to have my favorite podcast back🙌🏻
Heya BS! Good to have your formula too. Thanks a ton!
This episode's notification popping up gave me the same feeling as my dad unexpectedly bringing home the latest issue of Overdrive when I was a kid… You just have to put everything aside and go all in! So glad to have ThisConnect back, I was the one who was waiting for this exact episode for more than a year! If UA-cam videos would wear out the same way that old VHS tapes did by repeated playing, I would have significantly contributed to the first season's wear Cheers for S02 and excited for the new episodes!
Thats an awesome analogy! Loved hearing about it SL!
So apt @Shubhendu!
watched the previous season in a span of 3-4 days... had been looking forward to the 2nd season... love you both... an aspiring future rider here... pls keep up the good and unique way of your journalism... you guys are legitly the best...
Thanks for the compliments KJ! Glad we can help.
Every time I end up listening your podcast, somehow leaves me more connected to my vehicles not just cars or bikes but any vehicle I get my hands on next.
This is exactly like fixing a minor issue on the vehicle and get the old feeling back!! ❤❤
Great to hear! Glad you're enjoying ThisConnect Kshitij!
Damn you guys!!!! what good timing. I just got my Himalayan 450 delivered 2 days ago and I was asking the guy how much RPM should I maintain before the 1st servicing and to my surprise he said it doesn't matter. We have not got any specific info on the RMP and you can ride as you wish. I was a bit surprised initially as there are a lot of videos about new bike run in's and how to maintain RMP's. Finally you guys came at the right time. As always very informative and I can finally ride my new bike the way I want.
Congratulations Harsh! All the best! Wish you safe and awesome rides!
Appreciate content like this, no BS just pure helpful info while being entertaining really helpful for newer riders
Hey Abhishek! Awesome!
Watching this video exactly a month into ownership of my Duke 250 after obsessively repeat-watching your review while i saved up for it.
I think it comes to you naturally, to be "not an ass" for the first 200-ish kilometres and become more and more "yourself" gradually, as you get to know the bike better; and that's been the run-in ritual for me
Thanks for sharing your perspective @gru_k!
All I can say season one made me ride my bike a lot better, and developed my thinking about my bike a lot better..... Looking fwd to more episodes man great work💯
Thanks for letting us know VV! Means a lot!
Underrated topic actually - plus the info available online is hilariously different from each other. Some say yeah rev the life out of your machine it doesn't matter and then on the other end we have people referring to the usual "keep it below 4k rpm".
This video answers it all in a simple way 👍
Heya TTP! Good to see you here!
I cant wait for the bext episode!
I totally stan for the conversation and digressions and tongue-in-cheek humor.
Never stop, you guys ❤️
Thanks LZ! See you soon!
I think this has been the best and the most impactful episode so far, glad you guys are back with the new season.
We're literally just getting started @mohamednaflan4361! There's more to come.
Hi Shumi and Karthik. I'm a big fan of you guys. Just to let you know that I bought my Himmy 452 after watching your video and have been very happy with the machine. During my break in I did a trip to Ayodhya from Patna, had my first service done there. Maintained 4k rpm for the first 500 km and the machine is just in an amazing state at 2,500 km(odo). I'll request Shumi to upload a video based on engine braking and downhill U-turns, since I'm a new rider. I completed my North Bengal trip to Kurseong and Darjeeling and fell down multiple times while doing the downhill steep U-turns on the village roads.
Hey Abhinav! Congratulations! Happy to hear that you put it to use right away. And, thanks for the recommendation. It’s a great idea.
Finalllyyyy❤❤🎉!!
Loved season 1
Will follow season 2 with the same enthusiasm.
Thank you Motorinc.
Thanks so much for that RT!
The day I got my new car, it was the first time it was going to be me who'd primarily drive the new vehicle and most of the time as well. So I was very anxious before taking the delivery of the car. ( 2017 Suzuki Ciaz Alpha )
I asked my car salesman/ relationship manager about the engine breaking in and the limitations I would or should be having while driving the car. And he said just drive it the way you would drive it every day. Shout out to Russel wherever you are rn. But honestly that's what I did and have never faced any issue with the car. The engine is just as responsive and peppy as it was the first day.
So yeah these modern machines are really well made, they wouldn't usually break unless you're trying to break them, and if they're from a reputed manufacturer like most of them are these days, they still won't break.
Remember guys " Just drive it the way you would drive it everyday".
Big up to Russel from us too! Good on him. And thanks for sharing it with us Prathamesh!
This was much needed! Glad to have you guys back at it :)
Good to hear that IS!
So much information presented so nicely. Loved it. ❤ On another note I watched a video yesterday from powerdrift of Honda 200X. I am so grateful Schumi started motorinc and also grew a beard😁
Hey guys, another brilliant video, abosolutely love your work :)
Shumi's point about maintaining the Revs after service is so true, I experienced it with my Hyundai Aura after the first, second, and third services. I didn't find anything in the manual, but right after the service, the car would have a significant drop in pickup. I was really worried after my first service but some forums mentioned that all I have to do is keep the revs up for 10-20 km and it would be back to normal, and that worked. I still don't know if this is normal since most people I spoke to about it were unsure 😅😅 and the mechanics at Hyundai keep playing it off as a cold engine issue.
Awesome! Glad you worked it out, AC!
I agree with Karthik on the distinctive smell with Bajaj bikes. I too remember it😀
😁
FINALLY! People need to know this. I need to know more about this. And it does deserve one of the longest episodes. Thank you team.
Glad we can help! Thanks Deepak!
As someone looking to purchase a new toy, this is a masterclass! Thanks to both for so much enlightenment.
Happy to help! And all the best for your new toy Aditya!
I did the running process on my adv 390 by riding to a hill station with lots of hairpin bends and steep roads. I think it turned out to be pretty good.
Hey Kevin! Nice idea!
Perfect timing ⌚, got RE Bullet 350 yesterday .
Should I be worried as today I ran the machine steadily between 80-100kmph for 15-20 minutes.
Felt connected and insync with machine & enjoyed every bit of the ride.
Thanks for the video, your channel is an invaluable source of knowledge for new owners like me.🙏🏻

FINALLY!!! The Return of The King lol. Always have loved this segment of the channel and i hope you guys continue this for years to come. I would love to see an episode based on the Indian Superbike culture and its growth, challenges as well as, you guys going all fangirl over your favorite superbikes, talking about your favorite moments and memories you've had over the years riding those beasts.
Hey Abhinash! Thanks for the recommendation!
I saw your video on Creta, went for the varient you guys suggested, got it just last week, Now next video on how to run your new car... This is awesome 🤩
Glad we can help @ronyjohn7128!
About to get my first motorcycle (Duke 250 Gen 3 most likely). This will be tremendously helpful, shaving off the myths and handing out practical and recommended tips. Also the production quality is beyond words. Love the humor as well 😂
Thank you @Tridebeshs!
This was great. Learned something new with fresh perspectives. I remember plastics smells when my 250adv used to heat up in first 10-15 days of purchasing. Back then i just made peace with the fact that this is how it will smell for rest if its life. I eventually forgot that it stopped smelling after a while, today while watching this episode I remembered it.
Thanks for sharing @omcarrides. 250 ADV, huh? Is it the V-Strom SX?
@@motorinc No its KTM Shumi sir
@@motorinc also we missed a point. Scooters!!!
I've been waiting for an episode on this topic for so long, and it was better than I expected! I do prefer Karthikeya's break-in ritual though, I've found that being so specific and particular (not necessarily baby-ing the bike) in the run-in process has resulted in my bike feeling much more smoother and sharp than my friends' bikes, who don't care much about the same. Awesome episode btw :)
Hey KS! Good to have your take! Which bikes did you use K’s technique on?
@@motorinc I'm 20, so I'm still on my first bike, it's a 2022 Yamaha FZ-S. 😄
Dear not the chubby one I feel so convinced for what ever you say if you have a startup I will invest in it even though I don't have a single rupee in my AC at the moment.
Thank you guys i loved your show not as an entertainment but some where around this man to man kind of stuff
Thanks M!
Yeah … finally season 2.. was really looking fwd to S2.
Btw … if you remember, I had suggested an episode on my fav bike (family)of all time
The Bonneville Twins esp. the T120. Am really looking fwd to Both your views n this Iconic Family.
Thanks for the idea BR!
Good to see you back! One other thing which I noticed is the chassis tick tick tick sound when you park…😊 That tick sounds seems to come down when the vehicle gets older… is this a myth or my mind playing games - not sure 😅 Second thing is the suspension in bikes.. people seem to run in even the springs.. keen to hear ur thoughts…
1. It's just hot metal cooling off. We love listening to it tick!
2. There's not much to do honestly, except load the springs progressively which will happen if you drive and ride normally anyway @vclimbekar
Samething with me as well Karthik “ my Nios my happiness cannot explain on this “ 🌹
Best start of the Sunday. Thanks Shumi and Kartik
🙏🏾
Mannn.. i can listen to these two intellectuals all day long, so much of knowledge and wisdom!!
Thanks for being with us Chinmay!
8:15 - "If it's going to go bang, it's going to go bang in a big way, it's not going to show up just outside your warranty and say _hehe_ now you're screwed" this had me laughing bad, LMAO
Jus took delivery of my new car yesterday, this episode was timed so perfectly for me!
Congratulations! Which one?
I've been watching this YT channel for a few weeks now, and I'm glad that I did. Also Shumi's jokes are the best.😂
Thanks Adarsh!
Brilliant content❤
Icing on the cake was the conversational adjustment by Shumi where he balanced "Revv changes by Karthik Vs Oil changes by Shumi"
Smartly executed ✅
Glad you enjoyed the watch GK!
I put my brand new RE Scram 411 to the test with a trip from Mumbai to Goa just a few days after purchase. Remarkably, it's now surpassed 20,000 kilometers and running flawlessly. This aligns with Shumi's belief that modern motorcycles boast well-tuned engines for reliable performance. While I wouldn't recommend pushing a new engine excessively, modern machines are surprisingly capable.
Great to have ThisConnect back! 😊😊😊
Great to know that Royden!
Great video guys, was eagerly waiting for ThisConnect.🤞 And i follow pretty much Karthik's method for running in the new machine. Also mentioning the emotional part is big 👍, as thats also plays out huge effect on how we perceive our vehicles. Just to re-iterate technology and machines evolve way faster than humans, so getting used to play of controls and how it responds is also very important part. Like you guys said "Don't baby the machine & Don't be an ass as well".
Hey Ajay! Thanks for sticking around! 😁
Bought a new Himalayan in Coimbatore and drove it to Hosur. Just not to overspeed/rev or stay in same speed for longer duration. I skipped the 4-lane highway and took the state highway and ghats section. Completed the run-in in 2 days. I think the bike is just fine...
Thanks for sharing @trustshankar.
I heard about warm up(cold start) as per my knowledge i don't think it requires more than 10-15 sec to circulate oils these days and role on correct me if i am wrong, but i heard about cooling down the engine after long rides(300 kms and more) or when the radiator fan is on keep it idle for some time does it really required? for both petrol and diesel cars and motorcycles as well.
Much thanks for the episode, and for busting multiple myths.
Been using Pulsar since 2012, and I happen to have read similar articles on the internet back then about not babying the engine. I'd drive the Pulsar throughout the RPM range and in mostly in 3rd, 4th and 5th gears with occasional surge - as mentioned by Karthik 😊. My Pulsar still runs smoothly and never did keep me stranding. Although I had to suffer once because I got adulterated fuel from a Sector 1 pump in Salt Lake. I avoid that station.
Also, I remember Shumi talking about high octane petrol helps cleaning up some deposits - and I fill high octane once or twice a year. Boy am I good student! 😊
For engine oil, I'd prefer anything from a reputable brand - mineral, semi or full. My preference is Shell.
I must say I'm so delighted with 12 years old Pulsar, I'm planning to get another - you know which one 😊
Thanks again. Cheers!
Alright! So TRP - will that be red too?
@@motorinc pulling my leg I see!
Nope. 2012 was black. 2024 will be black, too.
you guys are almost therapeutic for my head -- never imagined that i would like to hear people talk so much.
😁 Thanks for letting us know!
Another amazing episode.
I think for me run in happens naturally. Because the first few days I try to get to know the machine better. Like how it accelerates. How it brakes. Familiarising with the controls and steering etc. Because I want to be confident enough before I start driving the way I want to. Eg I need to know what brake pressure is require for controlling different speeds. Or what is the gear ration and how it responds. I know it must be stupid. But it makes me drive better in future.
Absolutely! It’s the gelling time!
I was doing 110 on my pulsar 150 dts-i within the first 10kms of taking delivery.
Bike had just 3kms on odo when I took delivery and it was the 1st dts-i pulsar delivery in the city.
Strangely, till the 1st service it returned 70kmpl tank to tank on long highway runs from of 360kms to and fro.
Mileage dropped to 58 after first service and it came down to 50 in city and 56 on highway after using it for 11 tears and some 98000kms.
Just a regular service once in a year with motul synthetic oil and may be break pads and tyres when required.
Wow! That’s interesting. And a long and healthy innings too!
Finally they made a video on this topic. Love the funny banter these two guys have in between the discussions. Could you make a video on the aftermarket accessories not the usual stuff of eye blinding LEDs and deafening creta horns 😂. But spending more on high grade synthetic oils. Engine flush , injector cleaner agents diesel purge cetane booster egr cleaning all these stuff.
Thanks for the suggestion KB!
Thanks by the way... Cleared the dust in the air..
I am gonna do the run in anyway not because it would better my engine but because I would get to know its behaviour..
Excellent! It is a great way to sync in.
Guys please keep the s1 podcast about saving for your dream bike. I have been repeatedly watching that episode whenever i feel low😢. Can you keep only that episode out of your membership🙏
Opened the video and just liked it straight away..!
Look forward to hearing from you once you are done watching! 😃
You people got me thinking. I am reading my Yamaha R15v3 manual and it says you are free to rev it across the rpm till first service. However, it does say do not rev it when bike is standing still. Interesting.
awesome... so looking forward to the 2nd episode..
Well bought a new Himalayan 450 today and you made a podcast for breaking in ,a great one
Congratulations! Wish you safe and awesome rides.
I am getting my new bike in 15 days (so excited).. Thank you so much for this. I had a jupyter before this and my aunt used to throw water at it, I didn't knew it was dangerous 😅.. Anyway, negative torque, frequently changing gear to vary the rpm and power breaking once a while made sense.. I'll make these 3 as my ritual ❤
All the best! And congratulations! Which bike? 😀
Hero mavrick 440
Thank you !!
Got my honda cb350 2024 a couple weeks back, great timing!
Congratulations! Let us know how it goes!
Got my pulsar delivered 15 days back. That burning plastic smell is so aptly put. Infact initially made me worried thinking wheather aggressive shifting caused the system to generate heat. Now you guys have mentioned it ... 😌😌😌😌😌
Hey Shubhankar! Congratulations! Wish you safe and awesome rides!
Great video! Very informative, fun to watch and perfectly timed for me, as I got my first bike😁Thank you guys for some mythbusting and about that smell part😂 I got a xtreme 125r and have 160km on it and I have been riding it normally like I would be in my day to day later too and also sometimes just letting it go the way its optimised for you know. So, sometimes after riding I get this burning smell from the engine end. Smell's feels like a bit oily and heated up. A guy told me, after riding it too, that its the smell of clutch plates burning🤷♂ The guy has good riding experience and all, but I dont really think so that's the case here. Because as you guys said and I too agree, that the manufacturing has evolved to be very efficient now and clutch plates burning at this point would be a big error. I haven't got the chance to check that up with the dealer yet. What do you guys think, how much chance it has? And could it be as simple as the paint and polish only?😂🤷♂
So glad that season 2 has started! This was an insightful conversation as always and underlined the importance of keeping things simple. Just out of curiosity, what do the numbers mentioned in the backdrop- 19.07066 and 73.02013 stand for?
Hey Indraneel! Awesome to have you join in the conversation. As for the numbers - you’ll have to figure that out. 😀
@@motorinc challenge accepted 😉
Thanks, now that my running in period is just over you upload this. 🙂
(Classic 350 my first bike)
Hear us out. See how you did?
And it begins!! ❤ Feels weird to watch this as "just" a viewer. All the best guys!! Can't wait for the future episodes!!
“Just” a viewer? Didn’t get that!
@@motorinc Oh I thought my name would be visible, but it’s just the handle that’s visible I guess. My name is Sundaresh Sankrith 😉
Ah yes, YT does some weird stuff where it shows usernames in some places and the name in others.
I changed piston rings on my bike after 132000 km and then bike's performance was so good that I traveled 200km non stop....next day I had to change both piston and rings. In college days we you to take friends lune for 100 km drive and cool the engine with flowing water in farm next to high way 😲.
Awesome! Finally! And already love the 1st Topic of discussion 🥳🥳🥳👏👏👏👏
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@motorinc Loved it 😁👍🏽
off topic comment: At the beginning of the Motorinc, these long form content on motorbikes/cars felt bit unusual as we were so used to those fast paced highly edited cinematic videos. But now it feels so natural to sit and watch such long form content from this channel.. sometimes some videos feel shorter 😄
Hey Shankar, good to hear that. 🙏🏾
Wow i did a similar run in like Karthik on my 2003 cbz , 1.2 lakh kms later, still going strong. CBZ too had an all black exhaust 😎. An additional point i would like to make is let the bike idle for abt 20-30 secs on a cold start first thing in the morning, before taking off.
🤜🏽🤛🏽
Reminds me of my first ride on Duke 200 in 2014. From Wakdewadi to shivajinagar my up shifts were over 9k, and had to stop because of heat issues. Although, that did change my perspective for first 500kms. Nevertheless, I had a major engine issue in 2023, after a lakh kms. Worth every penny, still in my parking ready for every ride 🙌
Awesome! And hello again !
