I had a similar problem when by bike was about 7-9K KMs old. But that was just something else that needed to be addressed. Cleaned the air filter with pressured air (no other option), adjust the wheel and chain alignments properly, lube the chain properly and change the engine oil. Yes, serviced it at 9K and it touched 138 KMPH and a steady 134 KMPH with a 86KG rider and full gear on (count another 7 KG's)

Guys, thanks a ton for the confidence you have in me.

19.3 K KMs. No major problems. Two minor falls almost at stand still. One on each side (balancing act!). Pass switch (LHS switch assembly) and Fork Cone Set replaced under warranty. Tappets adjusted once. Toured most of the time. All sorts of terrain. Handful of punctures. Tyres nearing wear out (both of them). Even chain would last about 5K more max. I'm glad I bought the bike. Longing for better headlight beam - can't do more than 70-80 KMPH at night with full confidence.

HID is the way to go for u my dear. Get it and u can happily do triple-digits at night!

that's a big cost. now I have another set of big costs awaiting - tyres and chain+sprocket.

hmm..it dosn't matter whether he owns one or not...if he is having a problem with a bike..he should convey it...that could inform many other who r planning to buy that bike..

btw...all here know that his post was sarcastic!

I am feeling proud that I did the balance act.
