    Engine oil on the disks?
    That was a stupid idea.The sounds are because of dirt..a simple wash would solve it..NEVER EVER USE LUBES ON YOUR DISKS!

      that's really stupid man
      as ranjith told noises come from disk when there is dirt between them its very normal
      and a wash would have solved it
      but brakes use friction to stop the bike
      and engine oil reduces friction very much it may be dangerous to take the bike as it is
      i would suggest you to wash the disk and pads with diesel then wash with soap it will improve then in your home ride your bike apply the front brakes many times and make it hot remove the oil using diesel and soap
      but never pour a oil or another lubricator disks and drums if it doesn't completely solve it then take it to SVC

        Guys I went to the SVC for some work on the motorcycle, and got these installed! They are really great as it prevents mud splashes now under the seat. The entire unit had to be changed, but they did it for free! So I request those who don't have it, to get it done

          Cool thanks!

              4.5k km on PSD and 3.5 km on COnti. A bit vague on loose sand over tar when bending a bit and speeding

                For proper mileage try these things and it always works.
                • Clean your airfilter regularly and replace it at every ~10-12K Kms.
                • Maintain correct chain slackness. Lubricate it properly after every 500 Kms either with Chain Sprays or 90 grade oil.
                • Maintain correct and recommended tyre pressure. Always fill air from petrol bunks which have electronic meters and not from road side puncture shop as most of them have faulty pressure guage.
                • And last but not the least: Fuel plays a major role for Mileage savy people. Always fill up from reputed bunks or COCO bunks only. Avoid using any other bunks.
                This is what I do always and never mileage below 40 even after ripping above 90KMPH on tours.
                What is meant by "adjusting A/F ratio lean"?

                    it is the ratio of air to fuel which goes into the cylinder from carburetor
                    a rich mixture will increase the amount of fuel and give more power whereas a lean mixture will decrease the amount of fuel and increase the amount of air thus less fuel is consumed
                    but while adjusting if the mixture becomes too lean then it will lead to engine over heating and spark plug related problems

                              getting 38 with a speed of 65 to 80 is normal i suppose
                              what was the mileage you used to get before
                              check the rim for bends by rotation the wheel check the air opening valve
                              and also spray soap water to check for punctures
