    Was an expensive service but totally worth the money spent, ride & handling has improved vastly.

      Purchased a Michelin front tyre (for 1800 INR) , OE bearing set and fork razor set. Going to change it today.
      I will let you know the mileage after replacing the tyre..
      If you have bought the Michelin Pilot Sporty please be careful on wet roads, it doesnt have a good wet grip.

          I don't think so. Color looks okay to me.
          Last year I had enquired about the oil+seal change and the cost was 450 for each fork, including labour charges. It might have increased since then.
          Change the oil in both the forks whenever you change it.

          Ride safe and have fun.

              dont know about the cable problem but i have face ones that am getting hiccups or jerky acceleration when my oil level has been gone below 600gms so kindly check the engine oil level

                Such loss is also caused due to blocked air filter. Clean it or best change it.

                    So the bike is new. There shouldn't be any such problem. Was the bike's first done on time ?
                    Lean air-fuel ratio can also cause jerky acceleration. Check spark-plug color for it.

                    Can you post a pic of the cable you are talking about?

                    Ride safe and have fun.

                      Did my service at 750+ and I don't think it's a problem air to fuel ratio, as I don't touch the ECU

                          My front brake pads were changed about 200 odd kms ago... It is touching the disk at some part... Initially i was told that there is a break in required for the brakes and its not a problem. But i can still hear it and also feel the the pads touching the disk at one point

                                check the chain slackness.
