@Fireblah

Hey man. I saw the exact same bike outside my gym. I must confess, it looks sweet in the flesh. Esp without the rear fender.
Also, i notice from the list of problems that were fixed on your bike, it seems more like the bike has been rattled. Probably because of the conditions of the roads it has been on. My R6 manual tells me to check chain slack and lube the chain every 500 miles...or 800kms....so it must be pretty much the same for the blade.
Also from the trip log you posted.....seems like you took the bike on some dirt roads...be very careful on those bud....the rear wheel spins like crazy in those conditions....i'd recommend you avoid dirt roads.

Btw..the KBC Helmet looks bad-ass.
Ride safe

hey fireblah really cool looking lid, i wanted to know if you had taken a proper ride after the service yet & has the problem gone, what did the mech say about what could have caused the problem like the bad roads or something else & how was the overall service, were you satisfied ?

Yes i have taken proper rides now and the bike seems allright. The mech said everything was allright. Only the chain was quite loose, and air pressure was also very low ... that were the main reasons it seems ...
Service was fine ... wish they had given her a wash, but as the service was done at home, that was not possible..
To be honest, i still feel something is missing, but my bro feels all is same .... so i am just hoping he is right ....
