        Solved . Sprayed WD40 behind front sprocket. As suspected, dirt+diesel in the shaft. But new problem, clutch spring broke

          This is normal. It will go away once u start reaching 60 faster. Even if u cross 60 during the run in (just for a few seconds and that too not too often), u wll see that the vibes subside.

              The brake lever costs 120 bucks. I don't think they cover it in warranty.
              mine broke after 2 weeks of running....

                  not as yet ... but hopefully by monday as the SVC said that it is a beading leakage and that some particles lare stuck in the beading leading to the air leakage ... festival times no shops are open according to them ... they have to remove it , clean it up from the inside and re-install the tyre ...

                  hoping that this solves it finally ...

                  • Dudes.. the brake lever broke? I didnt know it was all that common.. in fact this is the 1st time i m hearing abt this :-/
                    It wont be covered under warranty but u should get it changed ASAP I'd say.. dont wait for the 1st service. although waiting for the 1st service would probably waive the labour charges but would you want to drive the bike in this condition till then?
                    EDIT: If u buy the lever from smwhere else n get it fixed outside, and if the SVC doesnt get any wind of it, then you'll still have ur warranty.

                        This is very strange... I am also having the same problem , first I thought that something is totally wrong with my bike. But now the vibes have reduced after about 800kms. I'm feeling very good after knowing that its normal. Thank you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!
