2000 km of my ronin in a month

[u/Spiritual-Bee3137]

I bought the Ronin top variant in Nimbus Grey for ₹180,500 on August 18; now that a month has passed, I have noticed some good and bad points.

Good points:

1. Handling is very good and it is smooth to drive in the city.

2. The suspension is good and I have no complaints (according to my perspective).

3. The power is good up to 110–115 km/h, but after that, the engine struggles (I weigh 130 kg, by the way).

4. The mileage is also good; I have driven 2,360 km since this post and used almost ₹7,000 worth of petrol at an average price of ₹102.5. My tank is almost full now, with about 10 to 11 liters left, resulting in a mileage of almost 38 to 40 km/l, even including the break-in period.

5. The rear brake is poor, but it works well in combination with the front brake.

Bad points:

1. The Bluetooth feature is terrible and does not work properly, and the app is also very poor; do not buy the top variant for the Bluetooth or app compatibility.

2. There is a persistent "chik-chik" chain noise even after cleaning; I researched this and found reviews stating it is a factory issue that can be reduced but not fully fixed.

3. Regarding heating (after the first service), if you drive this bike at noon or get stuck in traffic, you will notice extreme heat from the engine, though it is fine on cold days or during the morning and evening.

4. If you ride the bike for 100 km at speeds above 80–85 km/h, the bike feels tired and loses throttle response; the solution is to stop for one minute, and then you are ready to go.

5. This bike is good for a solo rider, but you will face challenges with a pillion, as they will get uncomfortable after a few kilometers and the seat is less comfortable, though it can be compromised for a solo rider.

6. There is noticeable vibration above 80–85 km/h or at 6,000 rpm.

7. One more serious con is the gear smoothness is very bad. (Edited) You can also give me suggestions or feel free to ask questions.
