HMSI is not responsible for replacement of parts like tyres. I'd suggest contact Continental. Kishoremuthu and Binoy, if I remember correctly, went for a replacement tyre.

A similar incident took place with me as aargee's accident few days ago. This was with a rickshaw. I was on my way back from nasik to mumbai, and near ghoti, i was going downhill at about 125kmph. From a well long distance, i saw two rickshaws join the two lane highway and the were both in the second lane and going one behind other for sometime. I being in first lane did not slow down then. As i went closer, suddenly the second rickshaw shifted to the first lane and by this time i was dangerously close at quiet a high speed. I continously pressed the horn and high beam pass switch but that dint seem to bother him. No signs, no indications by him i braked with all my skill and the bike fish tailed a lot (rear brake pads are still new,so maybe) but i somehow managed to just touch the rickshaw with front tyre and no other drama. I overtook him immediately and asked him to halt at side. The normal sized rickshaw had around 10 people seated with some almost out from the sides. I gave him a good piece of mind to which he replied, "Galti hogayi sahaab, aage se nahi hoga!" to which i was like, "will i be riding behind your rickshaw everytime to wait for a next time? ". I was lucky that there was no vehicle behind me.
I always feel that people on the highways underestimate the speed a "BIKE" can be on and take wrong decisions causing such incidents.

sad to hear.
you can survive with a compatible brake lever if you dont find the same. But handlebar? Cant say about availabilty and cost but what happend to the handlebar? Was the impact so strong? And other damage to the bike? I am wondering how handlebar got damaged by a car hit and no other damage?

Thank you Vasant. My bike is now 7months old and clocked around 5.4k kms. Will try the mail. If no reply, then will call the regional office.

I dont know how it happened!i was having breakfast and heard the sound,i rushed out and saw my dad trying to pick up the bike.The only things damaged were handleber(right side),F. brake lever, and a little dent on exhaust sheild,some coolant also leaked.

Thanks in advance.. :-)

By any chance do you hear that rattle comin from somewhere near the speedometer area?

@chicmagnet: believe me bro, i too practise similar, but as i was uphill, i could see the two rickshaws going straight in the second lane for quiet a while. And so i dint think of slowing down. Anyways, lesson part 2 learned. (lesson 1 was from aargee ) hope to meet you as i am in mumbai for a longer time now.

when I took delivery (odometer showed 17Km) the last fuel indicator bar was blinking, there was a petrol bunk just 100m away from showroom and I put 4 Litres of petrol immediately. Now it showed 4 bar, and 4th bar was blinking.
At 97th Km, I was left with only 1 bar in the fuel guage.

Can fuel guage bars be mapped to petrol (usable) left in tank?.
For example, when third bar starts blinking we will have "___ltrs" so much left etc?.

Riding within 5K rpm 90% of the time. Twice took it to between 6-7K rpm and hit 110 kmph once in 6th gear. Odometer reading 170Km.

Only the last bar blinks, which is supposed to indicate that the fuel is in reserve. The other bars do not blink they are either on or off approximately indicating the amount of fuel in the tank. When the last bar starts blinking I have about 3 lts fuel in the tank. When I fill the tank full till the level indicated on the neck in the tank only five bars are on. Only once when the attendant filled a litttle more did the sixth bar come on but that was only for a short duration.
Yes fuel bar gauge can be mapped to the amount of fuel in the bike but it could vary from bike to bike.

Yes, the sound is coming from somewhere near the speedometer area.
I checked the RVMs and tightened all the bolts near that area again.
Still the sound is there
