    Moving on, the current issue i am facing with my bike is courtesy Mumbai monsoons; The electric switches are kinda becoming hard and at times when i switch on the headlight, the lcd panel light sometimes doesn't come on. I then have to put the switch to off and then try again and then all is well hunky and dory. I guess a simple lubrication of the switch gears should do the job.
    Try spraying WD40 or ZORRICK in your switches and your issue will be resolved.

      My first paid service expense:

      Engine oil: Rs. 450
      Oil filter: 35

      Paid service: Rs. 450
      Clutch O/H: Rs. 150
      Brake O/H: 75
      Chain lubrication: Rs. 135
      Consumables: Rs. 50

      Tax: Rs. 59.56
      Service Tax: Rs. 88.69

      Total: Rs. 1435

      That means I have to spend ~Rs. 9000 a year from now on to maintain the bike. Way too high. I spend less that Rs. 6000 a year on maintaining my car.

      I am seriously thinking of giving SVC a miss and find some local mechanic.

      Do you guys think I should worry too much about the warranty (will be over in another 10 months)?

        minor figures like 1400 rpm can never be acheived on our bike as the display is too small.. so it is set to around 1500rpm... and even if it is set so after riding the bike for some time the rpm shoots to almost 2000 rpm, hence i said that my rpm is set at almost 2000.
        Why wasting fuel by setting the idle rmp at 2000k you should not be set when the engine is cold set it after you ride for some time when the engine is warm ride for sometime and whrn the engine is warm set the idle rpm between 1200 and 1500k it will be easy when the engine is warm

        • Guys in our service manual on page 6-13 its written than the front tyre pressure is to be 29psi but on the page 8-2 its written 28psi
          both on cold tyre
          is this mistake in my service manual only or every manual is like that

          I too am waiting eagerly on the review of the big bore kit

              One more bill where I see paid service as 450 Rs. Why are you guys paying so much for a paid service? Raise your voice if the SVC guys dont budge. It should be around 200-250 Rs and not more than that for regular service.

              For general service I always take my bike to SVC for all other works I take it to my trusted mechanic who is far more capable of identifying issues and fixing them as compared to the SVC guys.

                  White smoke from exhaust may because of water getting into the exhaust
                  on cold starts i have seen smoke coming from the exhaust when the bike has been in rain(water getting into the exhaust and reacting with the catalytic converter) nothing to worry or
                  oil leaking into to cylinder during combustion also shows smoke from the exhaust
                  please specify under what conditions did you see smoke
                  did you see white smoke or black

                        so there is no visible change on the cylinder assembly from outside

                              I don't think there is a quick fix better leave the bike a SVC and they rectify the problem..
