    Every 600kms you have to clean the chain and lube it.

    I dont think there is a wheel alignment problem since this thing is there from the very beginning .. chain is being lubricated on time .. I have got it lubricated twice from the service center .. 1st was during the first service and 2nd was a few weeks ago .. I have a Michelin digital gauge to monitor the tyre pressure and I check it regularly .. now remaining thing is drive chain .. and maybe any part of the bike which might be vibrating? what do you suggest?

    Thanks for taking the time for helping me

    For vibrations check the drive chain, lubricate it within proper intervals, check tyre pressure and check rear wheel alignment.
