I have another small problem-I hear whistling sounds from the silencer area while accelarating too. It is very clearly audible when I'm near the divider, flyover etc. What could this be?
It is not the chain noise- I know that noise very well. I have a doubt it could be due to the same air induction box.
@All: Please give me your inputs, as I am heading to the SC this afternoon.

I think it can be due to the pollution box itself. We'll find out today.
But I must say that R15 is really a delicate bike. Couple of days back I banged another bike as he took a sudden turn without indicating. I managed to slow down but did hit him. Luckily both of us did not fall or skid, no scratches. Next morning I find out that the bike is not properly balanced and some sound from the rear. Me and Sarvajit visited the SS yesterday to find out. Thankx Sarvajit for coming
1)Forks had some balancing/tuning problem.
2)The rear sprocket was making some other noise. The mech said that there are some rubber pieces attached there (donno what they are called), which has to be replaced.
3)The rear shock was making a lot of noise. It is supposed to be lubed. The mech said its due to riding in excessive rain. WTH!
Today me and Sarvajit are visiting the Pearl SS again. Will keep updated!
