Are you staying in bangalore?
If yes goto Tristar TVS SVC (Domlur) and meet a person named Lokesh.
Tell him about it & he will help you out.
PM me if any more info required.

Try selling the stock bike and the joel parts separately, a non-enthusiast will not understand the importance of the parts

Get extra clutch wire and throttle cable, alongwith spare bulb (headlight), foot pump, puncture repair kit, and trust me most of the time you will bring these things packed as it is.

Guys, any time frame on replacing the pads? I'm done with 12k ODO n still runnin on stock pads on both the discs.

Well now..I have something to share with you all..

The front disc on my bike seems like loosened in its grip and and I need to press hard enough to make a sharp braking. I can clearly sense there is no effective sharp breaking as earlier. I started noticing it recently. I doubt its cause of disc plates as it has developed scratches due to constant friction with pads which can be sensed by touching on it. I think even if I replace my pads, I need to change the plates too to get back to the knife-edged breaking. Any thoughts?

Here by disc pads , you mean disc plates , correct me if I am wrong?
If you are using stock(first) brake pads for 12k kms, buddy your disc plate needs replacement for sure

If Yes, go to TVS SVC & talk/argue/shout. They will be able to fix it at a very low price. TVS SVC will take a lot of time but the wait is worth it.
Or else go to any SVC get the tappet adjusted. While at the SVC, learn how to set the tappets & the next time u'l be able do it your self (if required). Why do you want to take the risk of fixing it yourself..?? Just remember that to you are playing around with the most complex part of the engine, the engine head.
All the best my friend..

Thanks to both of you. You guys are totally right about the risk with the cylinder. I've started thinking otherwise now!!

Right now, I haven't brought my bike to BLR. If I bring it here, I'll definitely take it there. Thanks a lot

To change the time go to odo display and press and hold second button and change time using first button. It must be written in the manual

Thanks, you were right it was a problem of loose wire connection only

Don't switch oil till 5000kms, change the oil at every 2000kms (if TVS tru4), get the servicing done as mentioned in the manual (do read it when you get it after 6 days). Use the kick start in the morning instead of the self. Don't go for any mods until the warranty is over and you are sure of the use of the mods.
Rest all good

Cool, but its really tough for me to keep it below 5k rpm :/

But i am trying hard to go slow slow slow (around40-50kmph)

And yes as u know i will be getting that Projector headlight ASAP my warranty expired
