    I guess it's your timing chain

      Is it possible to fit the V2 tail-light unit to V1?

        Avoid using any additives.
        Harshness in engine sound can be due to many reasons. Which engine oil are you using and what was the bike last serviced?

          No idea. Better would be to ask svc mechanic.

            I use Castrol Power 1 and I had serviced the bike about a month back.

            That's the problem.
            I have recently changed the timing chain but still it's kind of sounding a little shrill if heard carefully.
            That's why I am confused.

              Guys my front tire is 33k kms old and i am planning to change it. Apart from the stock size and company, can i go for anything else? I primarily ride in city and the tire has some thread left but has many wrinkles.. My rear tire is 130/70 mrf.

                Stick to same size with company choice of your preference.

                    Today while riding i felt a sudden loss of feel from my front brake. It is very spongy now and i can even touch it to the handle bar. It was perfectly alright before that and i could brake with a slight touch. What can be the issue? It happened suddenly, i see no traces of oil leak

                      Bubble in the brake oil tube. You need to bleed the brake to get it alright

                        But does it happen suddenly? My brakes were awesome before that.. I've never opened the cap.

                          Is the oil level alright? Usually happens when the oil level in the reservoir is a bit low. If the brake lever is very loose, it is the only thing. Oil is the culprit. Also check the caliper region for leaks.

                            How old is your brake hose ? It could be old and expanding ... also there is the moisture.

                            Check if the bleed value is leaking

                            The brake oil is very hygroscopic it will absorb moisture from the atmosphere.

                            Also the organic brake pads will ... The best option is to replace your brake hose and bleed the entire system.

                            In case of atmospheric absorption, clean the brake disc and pad with Isopropyl Alcohol (or rubbing alcohol if not available). Diesel also works fine as to the best of my knowledge.

                              My disk pads are only 1k kms old, however the hose is 3yr old. Oil is full and is a dot4 hence its transparent. But the problem sometimes vanishes & returns back.. I guess the hose & bubble may be the issue.. But as of now i won't touch anything until it goes wrong cause I've already spent Close to 20k on restoring my baby. In the coming months will change to p220 hose & will update you'll.

                                I have the exact same problem for long now. When i ride the bike after a gap of few hours, the brake is fine. But after riding a few kms, the lever becomes loose and it touches the grip. Also the braking starts to fade at the same time.

                                I tried bleeding it once myself, but the problem resurfaced after a few days.

                                The problem is with the brake line or with the callipers. I didn't get time to get it checked.
                                Ride safe and have fun.
