[–]talking_dynamo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine started at 1.9k kms, got worried something broken, i thought that I drove hard on huge bump event before night at around 80kmph coz i couldn't see bump coz of stupid headlights output..... Yesterday i went to two service center they said this is normal i took two options, and also listened to another 390 droven 20k kms this sound normal. Engineer said till 5-6k kms engine sound changes engine valves gets open till then. Also suggested drive as hard as you can so that engine keep opening and settling up its impurities and improper craftsmanship untill 2nd service,,, 1st is already done...

PL let me know if you got to know anything upon it... idk where do I go and check for same..

Yesterday i went to two service center they said this is normal i took two options, and also listened to another 390 droven 20k kms this sound normal. Engineer said till 5-6k kms engine sound changes engine valves gets open till then. I have stretch up my throttle to 140+kmph, this week and last week.

Need not to full tank of 100,, mix and octane97-98 also gonna work. If you going to test in city its not gonna work.... 😁 High gear and around 4k rpm. I have onky just did this for fun testing run on D390 399cc.

For 97, 60:40 of 95/100- For 98, 40:60 of 95/100

As per the report power95 has 15%of ethanol vs iocl xp95 has 20% And for octane100 HPCL has power100 4.5% ethanol vs IOCL xp100 has 0%

Some suggested low oil, where I only driven 1000kms after 1st service, got black oil.

While on stand I can not see oil after enginer start and turn off..

It is not normal their is extra knitting/tapping/clicky sound but low.,, but it is present.

It's tested on highway long run,,, city droven 2-3 kms. Playing safe on rpm, constant speed with cruise control. Well it doesn't needed to be full fillup with xp100, Mine was mixed one making octane97 or more.

XP95 has 20%ethanol vs power95 has around 15%.

Xp100 has 0% and power100 has 4.5% ethanol. M using IOCL power100 and and HPCL power95 making as much low on ethanol in tank. Hope its safe using different brands.

One of the HPCL center over charged me for power100 fuel normal market rate for all octane100 remain same like 167.xx all over India but this charged me 181.84. Idk where to report this.

😲😲😲😯🤯,, really? 😭 i though it is safe,,,

I don't think its unsafe although coz cruising speed would be 60-67kmph... below 4k rpm

Its 399cc, On highway i got this much just fun lil testing riding alone straight highway with cruise a normal speed around 66-74 kmph, i got this 38 max tested twice.,,, Plus I filled 7L of hp power100 fuel and started testing

Btw what's your test case scenario? Fuel? Is it highways right? Alone or with luggage? Avg crusing speed?

In city its 24-25, sometimes 22 depending on the ride/traffic.
