@Vikas: Congrats and welcome to the 220cc club

Good to hear about your experience with the bike. Seems like the main stand issue is not resolved after all!

Got rid of the main stand and saree guard. Now I can bend her all the way.

When I took her to my mechanic, we found more than half of the screws of the front fairing were loose and two at the bottom were missing.
Tightened all of them but still the entire fairing makes noises while riding.

Couldnt tighten the suspension yet as he didnt have the right tool for it. Suspension is fully loose at the moment so if i ride into a small pothole, it goes with a loud wham! I guess its because the entire spring compresses.

I did take a ride. But at that time I couldnt make out much as it was raining as well. Anyway like I said , I bought it from a local shop out here so no point arguing with the dealer.

Why both ? . I intend to sell of the R15 in a week or two. To be honest, I needed change. I got fed up of the R15. It will finish a year next month. I needed something more and something different. I actually was waiting for the ninja but then from what I hear I guess we need to wait for three more months. Also the price I heard was around 2.5k which is a little too much. If I sell the R15 I should be able to get around what I paid for the 220. Even if the 220 is as good as the 15, Im selling the 15.
