I would also like to know at what speed and what RPM is the sound more obvious. Are You due for an oil change? Try a fully synthetic oil and check and let us know about the results

Hi proud owners of Gladiator, this is my first post in this thread. I do own a Gladiator DLX version (silver color, disc break and electric start) bought in Jan 2007. It has crossed 24K on the odo now and gave a decent mileage of 52 to 59 based on how gentle was i to the throttle. Basically, i have never crossed 80km/hr in my gladiator since i always used to ride it in chennai traffic. From may 2011, i have gave it to my brother and riding a RE TBTS. Quenched my thirst for long drives in this bike. Since i drive mostly in city and my brother drives a lot for his business, planning to give the TBTS to him and getting my old war hourse back by the end of this month.

In my gladiator, I have changed my battery to Amaron MF one and changed my bike tyres (back one is CEAT GRIPP - reallly good).

If any of you have done some modification to your bike like changing it to DC and having a HID installed in it, having a mech ABS installed, any performance mods etc, let me know. Because i am very much interested in to and planning to do that in my bike.

guys.. the sound from the engine trembles when in high gear... often noticed in autos..
Is it normal with gladiators/?? Never heard it b4 4m ne other bikes..

Did the bike indulge in any accident? Its difficult to say without examining it, possibilities are some screw might have become loose or some internal damage in the mask.

Milage

My SS125 is giving a mileage of 55-56 when i ride in the range of 40-60, and if i exceed that speed it drops to 49-50.
