Q. I always go on a break at my home town Gurgaon to Khairthal, it has a drive of 130km on every trip. I go home, can I run my Bajaj Platina 100 bike nonstop and what are the side effects of the long drive? After how many km do I get the service done?

Hi you cannot drive 130 KM non-stop, since it's not good for your health as well. When ever you have a long trip always drink more water at the same time give a break to bike, like when i am riding the bike from Chennai to Tiruvannamali, i stop three times in between for TEA break & park your vehicle under the trees and switch of the Engine, No 1 : It's safe No 2 : You will Not be get back pain No 3: Your bike engine oil & tyres will get cool naturaly. If you are riding 130 km every day Please check the engine oil level on every week of Sunday. Please make sure that you maintain the DTS-i engine oil on the correct level. Maintain the Highway speed 50kmph for Long life, Excellent millage & safe journey.

See the thing is to run any bike at any number of KM doesn't matter untill unless we already serviced , oil change interval, a proper petrol and air ratio through carborator, and tyre air presure according to summer or winter and such things....So yea you definitely run bike 130km i have run 250 km at once just got oil seal leaked nothing else...Service depending upon km , i do it every 2500 -3000 km depend upon my riding ..

Platina has a very upright position which is comfortable, but can't b driven for so long. Infact the engine capacity is not much so u can take no. Of breaks as suitable to u but yes it can go that long without having ant heating issue.
