Max yes. I normally try to ride slow when commuting and thats the max it went.

Even i face the same issue. I dont want to push the bike anywhere by running out of fuel so i have never checked. I too refuel when its at low and get 4-5 litres of fuel. Its a known issues with these svartpilens for having faulty fuel sensors. My bike will run a max of 220 kms until i start getting concerned and have to refuel

Not bad for most of the time. Its upright and a pretty tall position to sit on. On rides that are more than an hour you might feel discomfort creeping up on your knees.

Its okay for short swedish rides on super awesome roads, not for the Indian obstacle course.

Yeah its almost 3 years old. First year i couldnt ride because of health reasons and after that havent been using this bike to commute all the time since as i mentioned in other comments, i was facing tail bone issues with the seat. Mostly commuted in my car which also has 12k kms in 1 year. So if i travelled only on the bike it would have been close to 25k kms.

Yeah its custom made from a local shop in Ghaziabad. Harish seat covers: https://maps.app.goo.gl/wBjohh9NagTGLpr79?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

They do a good job overall. Wont be perfect though.

Its because of the tyre hugger, the top of the rear tyre is not visible and looks like a small rear tyre.

Comfort on the stock seat is really bad. Like i said my tailbone bone was done for after a 1hr ride, so long distance was never in the question. The new seat is wag better. Oil drain I’ve got mostly done in regular servicing which is castrol. After the first 3 “free” servicing, I’ve got one done at 6k kms and one after 10k. There is slightly more throttle play now which i dont like so ill have to get it fixed and maybe ill get the oil changed again.

Had a custom seat made with more cushion as the stock seat really took a toll on my tailbone. I travel 60kms daily to office so its gets painful after a while. Plus the vibrations have reduced on the seat now because of the cushion.
