I took it to PBK this morning, turns out it was the starter clutch.. (That is probably why the sound was coming from "Below the Seat i.e. engine DUH!")

Anyways The bike is still in PBK.. will be returned by 4pm. Lets see if they diagnosed it right...

Edit:
Finally got the bike back. It had tools from the toolkit stuck near the crankcase which were vibrating and making all the funny noises. (Apart from the broken starter clutch.) What happened was, due to bad quality (rusted) press-fit button on the tool-kit case, it did not close properly, and all the tools came out of the toolkit and got stuck all the down way near the front sprocket. God forbid if any of that would have reached the chain, I would have been dead meat!!

P.S.: I had told PBK people about all these noises in 4th free service (which happened barely 1 week back.) but nothing was done about it back then. The stuck tools diagnosis was made by my Dentist friend post delivery during trial. They still hadn't figured out where the noises were coming from.

Finally, Query: How loud is the noise from the front shocker when the Cone set (which is supposed to get worn-out by 8k) goes bad. There was some tik tik noise, but very little.
