Tank cover generally covers it. But if you want a solution without the tank cover, then try to have a small plastic cover with you all times. When it is about to rain, open the tank lid, place the plastic cover over the fuel hole, close the lid. Hope you can visualize it. It is not the best solution but still your tank is water proof now!

According to me the saree gaurd might be banging against the swing-arm.
Try holding your grab rail with one hand and pull the saree gaurd away from the bike.
This may eliminate the problem.

As for the tyres if you are planning to change, you can go for MRF.
I personally had changed my tyres to IRC.
My experience was awesome grip on all types of surface and excellent cornering ability.
But i experienced a lot of punctures on my IRC so won't recommend it.

If you want to switch your engine oil to some other brand then i would recommend you to try Motul.
If you want to stick with Castrol then you can try Castrol Activ. Its a semi-synthetic oil.

And since you mentioned that your bike is fitted with analog meters, I presume that you would be having an open chain cover.
So for the chain you can buy Motul chain lube, especially in the rains the chain will require special attention.

Enjoy your ride.

I own a 2007 model Discover 135 (Disc), bought it on 4-feb-2008. Initially wanted to buy Pulsar 200 as I just loved its looks & I knew my riding would demand a bigger engine with some effective cooling aid, though settled with D135 because I didn't want to burden my parents with a costly bike.
My bike has been extremely reliable & has taken a lot of beating with ease, my riding style is very harsh, almost track-oriented.
Its been almost 4 years, clocked nearly 20,000 kilometers & honestly speaking I never had any issues with my bike. Apart from servicing I didn't have to shell out an extra buck.
I'm almost 6 feet tall & I don't know why but I feel that the bike is a bit small-ish, I develop a kind of back pain when I ride for long distances (I must tell you that I strangely feel comfortable in a sporty stance, but thats just my way). I feel the bike could have been made to handle a bit better & always felt the absence of a 5th cog.
Though I've managed to do all kinds of hooliganism on the bike, I like the way the power is delivered on this bike, there's a surge of power after say 4,500RPM upto 8,500RPM.
Have managed to knee-down, at 95+kmph in dry, lean the bike on a turn at 90kmph on wet (ofcourse when the bike was new), on stock tyres.
Easily gives most 150cc bikes a run for their money, we can term it a 'pocket rocket' if it pleases us. Good usable torque in low revs.
Even after 4 years haven't had the need to change even a nut, though the bike seems it can take on another 3-4 years, I've had enough of the 13.1Ps power output, I do love my ride but I think its time to graduate to a serious performance machine, so planning to upgrade to a Ninja 250R, though I plan to keep my disco135 because I am very badly attached to it because we've been through many phases of life together & its a magic box with loads of sweet memories. I plan to keep it as long as I possibly & practically can.

Top speed speedo indicated : around 115kmph
Highest FE : 56kmpl
Lowest FE : 41kmpl
Modifications:
Unicorn toe-in gear shift lever
12V full DC electrical setup (nearly 120W)
55/60W H/L
LED tail-lamps

Just my ownership experience, sorry if it was way too long but I still think I can go on & on...
Oh!!! I almost forgot to mention my friends like to call her BEBO
