    You do realize that the post you replied to was made more than an year ago? Already tried every anti rust polishes and sprays. It's not going to go away.

      I didn't have snaps taken of the headlight, but was able to find pictures from a post on xbhp, here they are, the firsta one is a H4(similar to what I have changed to) and the second one is HS1(the OE light type). The light is normal colour (yellow). I wanted it that way as it would be the best one for all weather. White light is soft on eyes, but produces as lot of glare and is not suitable in fog and in rains.

        the H4 looks exactly same as the stock bulb that comes in with the gladiator...

        can you specify the volt/watt with the manufacturer name...

          The one I changed to is a 60/55 w Philips premium +30. The Gladi has HS1 bulb with a PX43t base, the one I have installed is a H4 with a p43t base. A bulb with P43t base will fit in the PX43t holder fine, but will not fit in the other way around (that is you cannot use bulb with px43t base on a p43t holder, this because the middle pin of px43t bulb is thicker than on a p43t bulb). Here H4 and HS1 are the bulb type (the construction of the filament and parts are different)

                ^^^ Yes you do need to upjet... if u do not upjet, your bike will run lean... which in the long term would lead to shorter engine life...

                            It's because the competition to the Gladiator are either cheaper or easier to ride in the city or look better or are more practical and economical.
                            The Gladiator tries to be all of the above but never fully takes on any of the roles well.
                            If you want a comfortable bike that can attack corners as well as it can sooth your mind then the Gladiator is for you.

                              It could be also due to the fact that Yamaha is not pushing Gladiator as aggressively as FZ or its other products, or as Bajaj is doing for Discover. I got the vibe that Yamaha doesn't care whether the Gladiator and its smaller siblings sink or swim in the market.

                              Also, Gladiator seems to be a bike that everyone would like their friend to buy, but won't buy one for themselves :-D

                                @Madhav Krishna: I'm too having the same problem, mine seems to be coming up higher up the rpm range, that is above 5k . Does sound like a loose tappet or improper cam chain tension, will have to check that with a good service engineer at the servicing station. I had serviced the bike myself but things like these does need special tools and expert opinion.
