Sandeep...u have mentioned the front tyre wasnt free?...was there a little bit of resistance or a lot of it?...cause generally if it isnt that much then there is no need to worry.

It would be good to check the level of brake fluid but since ur bike is new then that wouldnt be a problem.

You can try this...ride the bike for a few kms and then check the disc whether its heating up a lot. If it is then it would be better to show it to the HH svc center.

changed air filter at the 15k mark. still running the same spark plug. disc pads were changed after the ladakh trip. were completely worn out.

17th dec 2010

Default Rear Brakes

Purchase:25th May
Kms- 2500
Colour - black
model -2011
Avg - min 33 max 50 avg - 41

I feel the rear disc brakes underperform at times and hence not feeling so confident at high speeds. are rear brakes a problem?

Please suggest some HID headlight or bi-xenon.. please mention market specifications which i can ask for in a shop...

Anyone knows any shop in Pune for reliable customisations?
