    .
    Hi Aargee, thanks for your suggestion. I got the coneset bearings greased up and that irritating sound has now stopped. Bearings were dirty and all dried up.

      I don't want to believe that completely but it looks like the case with many dealer at this point of time. And when asked about the timeline of availability he said no idea .

      I will be approaching a new dealer today, if am not getting a rear brake pad, I thought of getting p220 rear pad for now as mine is nearly worn out. So anything I need to keep in mind while replacing it with p220's rear pads??

      And recently I feel the engine vibrating more than usual during riding and in idle. So can some one confirm me if my air filter is due for replacement?? Below is my air filters condition

      Apologies: I am unable to attach my pictures currently.
      Got the p220 rear disc pads

      Pad cost: 210
      Labour cost: 0 (DIY )

      Below is the pic of my air filter, can someone let me know if it's too dirty to replace immediately.

            Okay, now have to search for air filter, hopefully it's available off the shelf in my nearby ASC :sly:

              Aargee, yesterday i went for shim replacement to vihaan honda as suggested by you. I gave abdul your regards and he was happy about it.

              Now coming to the shim replacement. After the replacement. I took it for 150 kms ride and the bike is behaving properly. I was riding it very cautiously and i did accelerate and deaccelerate and the speed acehived was 137 but it was gradual.

              There was shim noise post ride and after it cooled down, voila it was back to normal.

              Now my concern is, did i do something wrong after the shim replacement. As soon after the replacement i was riding sedately at 5k rpm, did not go beyond that. And once.i covered 80 kms i started to cross the 7k rpm and did touch 8k rpm.

              Will the noise settle down in time or Its going to remain ?

              Did i follow the proper riding process post shim replacement ?

              And.how much noise is should be bearable from shims after the bike.is heated fair bit ?

              Lights please

                  If the SHIMs have been replaced as per HMSI standards, then there's nothing to worry about. I've NOT followed any run-in process like you've mentioned; from my little knowledge, the run-in process is to be observed for the first 1000 Km for the cylinder piston & rings to get seated & loose the excess friction, post that, nothing needs to be done, especially for SHIMs

                  If there's a mild tappet noise, you can ignore it as the clearances cannot be done to perfection & there will always be some noise. Otherwise, they've to fit in tighter shims to arrest the noise, but then the CAM tensioner will start taking the beating (100% nothing to worry on this)

                    I got my first service done for my cbr at 700kms. There was a slight pull towards right side when take the hands out of the handlebars. So I told to technician abou this issue(he was one of the trained mech for cbr) while he note down the issues in job card. He replied there will be a slight pull to right for ABS model as it has abs equipped caliper assembly to the right side of the wheel. I couldn't digest it but I didn't argue with them as I am not sure it can happen. Guys, do you think is there any valid point in what the technician told to me?

                      Pointless!
                      Did you go over potholes at high speed? Get the forks and handlebar alignment checked.
                      Even the brake and disc rotors are present on one side of both wheels (irrespective of ABS). That should simply tip over the bike, no?
                      Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.

                        These bikes aren't even in the same category, let alone competition.

                        No pulling to the right in any version. Get the cone set checked, as well as the forks. Bolts also need to be tightened at "proper torque" - which no SVC does.
                        @Divya Sharan beat me to it

                        Also, you might want to consider not taking the hands off the handlebar too. If the bike is balanced properly and doesn't pull to a side on braking, there might not be an issue.
                        Another possible cause could be tyre alignment - check the rear tyre alignment.

                          I didnt ride through bad roads or hit potholes in speed. As i was in run-in period, I was very careful and used it only on the road which familiar to me. anyway I will check with the ASC again. thanks for the quick responz...

                          thanks. Bike is steady and keep the line at ride or braking when my hands on it. I noticed slight pull only when hands taken off the handle bars on plain road.

                            Nope! This ain't supposed to be happening, with or without ABS, the wheels are dynamically balanced accordingly at the factory level. Tight T stem and worn out stem bearings tend to pull the motorcycle towards one side. They also make the motorcycle wobble. Unless one adds extraneous add-ons which is more weighed in towards any one side (either left or right) which makes the bike uneven, the handlebar should stay put and center.

                            My test was done with a tail bag strapped and the bike absolutely held its line steady without any wobble neither did I observe any untoward pulling to any side, the speedo read around 70~ish.

                            Cheers!

                            Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
                            The girl said, 'NO!'


                            And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.


                            THE END

                              Is that worth paying 2K for Keiti tank pad available at accessories shop? I could see many Keiti models available in planet dsg site for Rs1100-1400 range but most of them are out of stock when I called them. I feel like the tank pad available with Honda showroom for 200-300 bucks looks cheaper and smaller. Don't know how good it is.

                                Keiti tank pads are awesome. I used one in 2011 after paying 1000 rupees. PlanetDSG rocks!
                                Some morons scratched it out 2 months back.

                                Ordered another Keiti for 1200 and it has been doing its job for 2 months now.
