    Credits to Binoy. And now i have the number for the Mumbai incharge. So anyone in need can PM me.
    Even I checked my tyres and much like you me too has some scratches on the tyre which almost look deep enough to cut through the tyre! I guess will show the tyre to the service centre or should I just contact continental themselves?

    I had complained at OM Sai about this. They didn't think it was worrysome enough. Haven't had any major problems though but do feel that there is certainly some stiffness!

    aha! Frustrated at not being able to reach 12k or even 11k quickly due to no rides over weekends. So want to change to FS which I bought a month ago and still haven't been able to use it!

    Can't be. I got rid of any body pain by 2k kms itself. It is resurfaced now after the cone set change and I am not riding any different that what I was earlier. I think they have tightening the steering again wee bit more than they should have! :S

    Milind
    Go ahead. They are descent enough this side of the city. My first bill break-down
    1.Oil filter: Rs.231.11
    2. Engine oil (1500ml) Rs.288.88
    3. Consumables: Rs.125
    And then stupid MVAT and service tax and including these it came to Rs.723.

        check with the SVC and see how they respond. If they are ready to escalate to continental or replace it themselves. The mumbai incharge of continental tyres is going to visit me in few days. Will pm you his number too. Or pm me your number.
        You gotta risk it.. to get da biscuit !!!

          DK, i asked them so many times about what the kit included and he said, almost all allenkey bolts on the body such as fairings, footrest assembly, mirrors. Mirror bolt now has a rubber cap. And they replaced the rear grab rail. I dont think they changed anything more than this. Unfortunately, i wasn't present when they did everything as i got an IMP call. But i saw them changing fairing bolts.
          I got this done from sai point honda, thane. I had went there as sai point honda, mira road (from where i purchased the bike) told me there is a camp going on but there was only this kit replacement stuff. Nothing else.. Vihaan said they will call me if there is anything. But i dont think as Sai point had a list of cbr's which are eligible for it or maybe every cbr sold by them. So you may have to go to the ASC from where you bought the bike.


          They dint give me any oil neither replaced it.
          yeah ,this is only what I have heard.
          have given a call to Honda--awaiting their confirmation

                        Try bleeding both brakes and i suggest do it your self .
                        Its not enough to know how to twist the throttle; you must have judgement to know when and where to do it.

                          Can't comment on the unnecessary part, but since I've been using the bike without a fairing for more than 3 months, I can tell you that there not much of a difference felt at city speeds (read that < 125km/hr). Only major differences being that I can hear the engine sound more and the radiator fan air isn't directed to my thighs any more (not that it was a deterrent).
                          You are not a chemical. So think before you react.

                            • Bleeding brakes = removing air bubbles out of ur brake lines.
                              Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.
