    • Today my bike developed a brake squeal its the rear brake and starts around 40% braking. The bike is ridden 731 Kms and already a brake squeal It cant be the liners I am sure its too new for that. And after first service last thursday i rode it only once in slightly wet condition. Any suggestions about what could be causing this?

      • itz a common thing for a bike to squeal after service . itz due to de water droplets which halt on the brake pads after water wash , as soon as it gets dried up it starts making sound

              What exactly happens when u downshift....Maybe u need to get your gear
              lever checked....my problem was upshifting...it was resolved simply by
              adjusting the lever...

                Yes, it will go away on its own. If not, you can do some greasing.

                    check the engine oil level... Refer manual... if its low then top up. this happens in my bike when engine iol level is low

                    • Hi

                      hi
                      @ n-o-v-i-c-e : while downshifting the lever just drops but doesn't actually shift down ... you get the feeling as if the lever is disengaged ... it doesn't happen on the upshifts .
                      @ braveheart : my bike's not even a month old , has done about 450 km , so could the engine oil level be low already , but if it is engine oil , then shouldn't the problem occur while shifting up also ? but it doesn't , it happens only on downshift.

                      • if the gear lever moves full distance and gear doesn't change sometimes.. get it checked at the service center... i don't think ur oil level is low...
                        if its low gear becomes too hard to shift

                                The brake squeal I mentioned has reduced considerably hope it goes away and today my baby beast smoked a bullet T bird on a straight . I was riding along on a 60 kmph cruise today quite early it was 6ish i guess and this guy on the T Bird got excited and started revving hard all it required was a small twist of my wirst and the baby beast just took off leaving the T bird behind making a lotta noise. Ohh it was quite funny when his engine started going kung pow with misfires on down shifts Guys from bangalore you ll know this straight its the hosur Rd straight just after adugodi. I am very happy camper right now.
