The following were changed;
1. Clutch Plates(Friction and Steel).
2. Clutch Basket.
3. New Valve Kit, head overhauled at lathe.
4. New Timing Chain Kit, includes chain, sprocket and tensioner.
5. New Piston Rings, Standard size.
6. New Gasket Kit.
7. New Seal Kit.
8. New Drive Chain Kit.
9. New Fork Springs.
10. New Fork Seals, both Dust and Oil.
11. New Coneset.
12. New Starter Relay.
13. Front Brake Master Cylinder Overhaul Kit.
She now runs like stink, crack open the throttle and you can feel that characteristic Honda low end, being used to the P220 and CT100B both being short strokes I did manage to break traction on launching the first couple of times until I got used to it, especially taking sharp U turns on broken surfaces.
Average riding speeds with minimal throttle input is at 75~80Kmph on ghat roads, crack open the throttle and she pulls clean to 100Kmph on the speedo, didn't push more due to safety concerns as she's running on expired rubbers and the roads were not too good to begin with.
She's currently running on Castrol Activ 4T 20W40, due to having standard raised bar handles on the P220 and CT100B the vibes nearing peak torque were irritating as they are more prominent on motorcycles with clip-ons, but nonetheless livable with considering the performance on offer.
Other than the tires the stock RVM's are pathetic when it comes to visibility and feel cheap when adjusting, almost like they'd snap. If I get the time would head out and have them changed to Bajaj RVM's which though are cheap at 175/- per piece offer way better visibility, even better than the RTR mirrors which I have a pair laying around.
The fuel level sensor is bust, so it always shows FULL, need to change later on, parts availability is BS and sourcing is nerve-wrecking.
The AFR is set to 1.5 turns and the idle is at 1.5k RPM, there is slight fluctuation in spite of reworking the valves and using a new manifold and O ring, suspicion is that the leak is from the slide compartment, though the slide doesn't stick hence postponing.
Any tip to lower the height of rear brake pedal is welcome as it sits too high and is only comfortable when flat-footing the pegs.
All in all the motorcycle runs spectacularly!
Update:
Got the RTR Mirrors installed, boots are from the KTM Duke;

The mirror on the brake side uses a reverse thread on Hero's and Honda's, hence had to retain the stock adapter, the other side is a direct fit without the adapter, the adapter can't be see as I've used the RTR's boot to cover it up. The height advantage is not noticeable otherwise only evident when you ride as you get a more commanding view of traffic overtaking you.
The protruding part is the RAM Mount adapter;

This is a cracker of an engine. Pulls like crazy and goes like missile out of muzzle. Do not use 20W40. Use 10 W 30 and see how it pulls and revs. It revs like a 4 valve engine and short stroke engine. And since recommended is that don't use thicker oil. Will damage bearings and crank and rockers.
Mine crossed 1 lac kilometers but still flies like a falcon.
