This is the most beautiful bike.
i was going for a karizma or a pulsar 180 cc.
my friend(a machismo owner) took me to the showroom . I saw the bike and couldn't give my reactions after seeing that drop dead gorgeous beauty.
still my biggest concern was its weight and the fuel economy.
now after buying this vehicle all the doubts seem to be disappearing in air.
when a light bike like karizma and pulsar gives a mileage of 30 or 35 its not a bad deal to get 40kmph from a 350 cc bike.
about weight of the bike, once u start the bike and put feet up in the footrest, it becomes like a bicycle. if u think thats heavy stop dreamin bout this bike.
believe it I can go on writing bout this byke for my life to come.
this the most beautiful and aweinspiring thing of my life.
i would leave my girlfriend for thunderbird if I have to choose one.
Maintaining Thunderbird
Be nice to your bike in the break down period . that is by not exceeding speeds above 60 at the first 1000 km and 70 after the 1000 km and till its clocks 2000 km and not reving the engine over 3000 rpm for the first 2000 km . do the services at the specified km and also check whether the dealer has done the service properly . make it a routine after the service also to change the engine oils in some 3000 km periodically .check the oil level and battery water level once in a week . if you have a electric start model always kick start the bike when its used for the first time on a new day to maintain the health of the battery . wash you bike atleast in a week if possible .
also maintain a single brand of petrol. use only one brand, don't change it every time you fill her up. always try and get a full tank done. this avoids frequent refueling and prevents the tank from rusting. always lubricate all moving parts after you wash your bike. if you are using a disc brake, always wash the disc with plain water in the rainy season after your ride on the bird is over. this removes mud and dirt between the brake pads and improves life and performance
