The headlight needs to be adjusted though.. high beam bulb's pointing up somewhere at the moon rt now.. !
Maybe it's because the only other bike i've ridden is the bullet 350, but almost everytime i try to describe the gs, i find myself using the words 'Smooth' and 'Silent' a lot.. 
I've read some comments abt the rear brakes being to weak, but i haven't had any problems so far.. Maybe the new brake springs in the 2010 model are doin their job well..
Right now, apart from the mileage, everything seems to be on track with most user reviews.. Should i get it looked at just yet? or should i just wait till the first service, which is comin up around 1st week of march?

Congrats on your new bike buddy. Yes the bike is really smooth and stable even with a pillion.
Don't worry too much about the mileage right now.

GS is a good bike and will return 50+ mileage once the engine is set.
