      I've done ~38k kms now.
      Check your chain slack and chain slider. If you have that "khatth or krrr" sound, it can be due to a loose chain and a slider that's come out of its place. I'd suggest you to inspect it. Keep your observations posted.

      I'm asking because the new oil filter I bought has a small dent on the side marked "outside - towards filter cover".

      The side facing the engine is perfect, however.
      leech, the oil filter stays put, it doesn't move around a bit. The oil is pumped to the oil filter via the oil pump, it gets filtered and then sent to the engine vitals. The reason they're marked "outside" or "towards filter cover" is to make sure the filer is "FIXED" in the right direction. Install it in the wrong direction, we starve the oil to the engine and boom, the engine goes. It's basically to make sure the direction of the oil filter is right to make sure it's not wrongly fit inside the engine. There are holes in the filer which allow the oil to come in, get filtered and then go about to the internals of the engine.

      If we, by chance, turn it upside down, no oil goes out of the oil filter area and hence trouble.

      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.

        Recently I was advised to replace chain sprocket when odo was at 27,000. The next service was near hence decided to wait. I gave bike for service on last Monday n got call from ASC that both break pads were also needed to be replaced. In past I foolishly sprayed WD 40 on both breaks but gladly nothing bad happened. In arnd 30,000 kms - the rear break pad was replaced twice while front break pad was replaced for the first time.
        This all resulted in the bill of 6700 Rs with paid general service + chain sprocket + front - rear break pads + labour charges + AMC booklet.
        N this was the highest amount I paid for service from when I bought CBR.

          What necessitated the spray of WD 40 on a brake pad, did you mean caliper or the brake pad itself?

            It happened 5-6 months ago. Sound was coming from rear wheel n I thought it might need lubrication. & Very foolishly I used WD 40. [emoji20] [emoji20] I might spray on calipers & it affected both breaks. ASC mechanic did his job well n nothing major was happened. He suggested me to drive for some days n it would be ok. & In few days breaks were normal.

              Do not use solvents such as kerosene, diesel and WD40 on the disc and brake pads as they leave residue and if driven immediately you'll feel there is no brake feedback and the braking efficiency is drastically reduced. These can be used when overhauling the calipers, but not sprayed over the disc plate and inside the caliper where the pads are. Though they'll wear off after a few kms by braking intermittently, in wet conditions it can take even longer to worse poor braking. Take heed next time.

                Use 3M brake cleaner to clean the pads and the rotors. Does wonders. Clean them at night and let it be until the morning. Your braking power will be right back.

                    My rear break bite is significantly reduced in past couple of weeks. There is no feed back at all. I gave it to the svc. They cleaned the rotors and break pads nd topped up the break fluid. But the lack of bite nd wooden feel still exists. There is sufficient amount of break pad life left. What will be the problem?

                      Don't top up the fluid, bleed the system. If there is air in the system it can create pockets and create a the wooden feel. Try it and keep your observations posted.

                          Gear oil is your friend. Don't use too much, just rub an oiled cloth on the chain. Sides, top, bottom.

                            That will remove the rust? I have lubricated the chain right now with Gear Oil.

                            I'm trying out different lubricants.

                            Before it was Putoline Tech Chain, now it's HP Gear Oil, next I am going to try Garage52's Dino Lube.

                              Use WD 40 to remove rusting.

                                I'll let you know one more trick. Soak the chain, with kerosene or WD 40 by spraying either of the both and wait for 5 to 10 mins. Take medium grit sand paper and mildly graze the links where you see rusts, the rust comes easily. Wipe the chain clean, thoroughly with waste or a rag and then apply 90 EP oil, and you're all set. Just spraying WD 40 or gear oil won't remove the rust that's in place. Scrub it off by the above method and then lube them well.
