On the outbound ride, I kept a steady pace between 60-80 km/h with smooth throttle inputs, and achieved a mileage of 43 km/l.
BHPian mp417 recently shared this with other enthusiasts:
I’ve taken Kaizen on a couple of mini rides so far to get a feel for its handling and performance.
Ride 1 (Solo): Total ~80 km
I decided to try some light off-roading, which turned out to be an embarrassment There was a muddy, tricky patch leading to a farm, and while I managed to get through it on the way there, the return wasn’t as smooth. I ended up stalling the bike and had a clumsy fall—probably needed a bit more throttle control. There was no damage as it was a soft landing. The real challenge was getting Kaizen back up in the mud (still not used to a heavy machine), but honestly, I couldn’t help but laugh at myself through it all. Fortunately got some beautiful pictures of Kaizen amidst the flower bloom.
Ride 2 (Group): Total ~180 kms
Got some surprising fuel efficiency (FE) numbers on ride #2 which are worth sharing:
On the outbound ride, I kept a steady pace between 60-80 km/h with smooth throttle inputs, and achieved 43 km/l.
On the return, I pushed the pace a bit, reaching speeds up to 120 km/h and experimenting with different RPM ranges. This brought the average FE down to 38.3 km/l.
All in all, an enjoyable ride with some interesting fuel insights!
