Sure I will thanks. After I top it up should I still change the oil after 2k kms?

Thanks for the replyAnd what about the sound coming from the front part (not engine) while accelerating or above 70km/hr?It is also felt near the tank/scoops.

Each time I blast the service engineer or my dad takes the bike for service, the servicing has been done quite correctly.3 services out 5 services were ok. But the other 2 was hopeless.For a complete service & repair work bike needs to left there for 10-12 day, then the work quality it really good.
Where exactly is that Bridgestone service station ,any land marks..?

If Jayanagar is closer to u, then hv a look at Bharath TVS also. I know a couple of mechanics there too. I hv been here from past 4 years on all of my RTR variants. They are quite good as well. I usually have it checked by Rafeeq or Muthu here.

Maybe because of loose bolts near the fairing or the tank scoops. I'm not sure though I never faced this issue(my apache doesn't have tank scoops).

Where exactly is Bharath TVS, in Jayanagar..?

I could hear a Turbo like whistling sound at the RPM range of 6k to 7.5k is it alright?? after 8 k i don't hear that sound [may be its hard to notice because of the louder engine]

Today rode the RTR like a RTR first time after the upgrade. After leaving home went to SVC directly, in five minutes Oil filter and Oil change is been done. The oddo was at that 890 at second oil change and I rode it normally and touched 109 only as road was not allowing more, cross winds were also very high. Lets see how it goes from now

@Rocker- Couldn't help but comment about your signature Nice one!

Guys i have been planning to go for HID lights instead of my stock halogen Bulb. Have been getting mixed reviews about it. A shop near my house is giving me a HID kit for Rs 1,200 (without warranty). Should i go for the better HID kit like Philips or Osram or the cheap HID ? Since mine is the ABS version i need not convert from AC to DC...

Any cons of putting HID?

Awaiting your suggestion

Before you go for HID , I would like to inform you any HID above 4300K is considered illegal.
As yours is DC, you wont face battery issues, but will void the electrical warranty of your bike.
